An Ran was in Jiang Yu's gallery, admiring her idol's paintings intently, feeling extremely excited.

"Ran Ran, take whatever you like." Jiang Yu smiled and touched his head, saying embarrassedly, "Your mother-in-law is in charge of the money, but you can take these paintings if you like."

An Ran nodded excitedly.

Jiang Huainian walked over from the sofa holding An Qian in his arms. The little guy looked around at the paintings curiously, his eyes shining.

Jiang Yu smiled and said to An Qian: "Qian Qian, when you grow up, grandpa will teach you how to paint, okay?"

An Qian blinked her big eyes, made some noises with her mouth, and waved her hands excitedly.

"It seems that you like it. You will inherit your grandfather's legacy in the future." Jiang Yu gently touched An Qian's head, his eyes full of doting.

Jiang Huainian frowned in dissatisfaction, "Dad, why are you competing with me? Maybe Qianqian likes doing business."

Jiang Yu laughed and retorted, "Give birth to another child and let him learn business. I think it would be a pity if Qianqian didn't inherit my legacy because of her talent for art."

Jiang Huaian couldn't help laughing and said to An Ran, "Wife, did you hear that? Dad is urging us to have another child."

An Ran glanced at him with a smile on her face, then turned around.

"Dad, can you give me this painting? I want to hang it in my studio in France."

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, "Of course, take them away if you like. Pick a few more." As he said that, he signaled the staff to take down the paintings.

An Ran smiled and waved her hands, "That's enough, one painting is enough. But, can I come here to look at the paintings when I have nothing to do in the future?"

Jiang Yu readily agreed: "Of course, you are always welcome here. I will have someone record your fingerprints later so that you can come and see the paintings anytime."

An Ran smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Dad."

After visiting the gallery, the family of three went to a nearby cafe for coffee.

An Ran held the phone and sighed slightly, "Brother Hao's phone is still not turned on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Rui called.

An Ran said, "Brother Hao didn't look for you? His phone has been turned off. I called my mom this morning, but he didn't go home. So where would he go?"

Xia Rui: "I'm a little worried..."

An Ran quickly turned to Jiang Huaian who was sitting next to him, "Huai Nian, can you check the information of Brother Hao's car?"

Xia Rui quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Huai Nian, check it out quickly."

Jiang Huaian nodded and said, "I'll have someone check it out right away."

An Ran said to Xia Rui: "Rui Rui, don't worry, Brother Hao should just be looking for a place to relax."

"Found it!" Jiang Huainian forwarded the car information to Xia Rui, "The car has entered Xicheng. I sent you the address."

"West City?" An Ran murmured, "That's where Brother Hao served in the army!"

Xia Rui said excitedly: "I'll be there right away! Huai Nian, pick up your helicopter for me."

Jiang Huaian said: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

After hanging up the phone, An Ran sighed and said, "I hope Brother Hao can come to his senses and they can reconcile quickly."

***

West City, evening.

Xia Rui got off the plane, her skirt fluttering gently in the breeze.

She followed the address An Ran gave her and asked people along the way.

At first, she was still able to maintain her glamorous look, but gradually, the muddy dirt road became more and more difficult to walk on, and her nude high heels were covered in mud.

The hem of her skirt was stained with dirt and weeds, and her originally flowing long hair became messy due to sweat and flying dust.

After walking for a long time, Xia Rui was exhausted.

Suddenly, she felt an unpleasant sensation under her feet, as if she had stepped on something hard.

With a "crack", the foot twisted suddenly, accompanied by a sharp pain.

hiss--

Xia Rui couldn't help but gasp and frowned in pain.

She squatted down slowly, her ankles were swollen and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The pain was so severe that she could no longer walk. She slowly moved her feet and sat down on a stone pier by the roadside.

The sun gradually went down the mountain, the light became weaker and weaker, Xia Rui hung her head, her eyes were full of helplessness, and her heart was shrouded in a layer of haze.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance.

Xia Rui looked up and saw Li Hao's figure gradually becoming clearer in the twilight. He was running towards her.

The moment she saw him, Xia Rui's grievance and fatigue instantly burst out.

I could no longer control my emotions and broke down crying.

Li Hao's eyes were full of self-blame. He was breathing heavily, his brows were twisted into a frown. He didn't care that he was sweating profusely. He squatted at Xia Rui's feet, took out a tissue from his pocket, and gently wiped the tears from Xia Rui's face.

After wiping away her tears, he carefully wiped the mud off her body.

Xia Rui stared at him, her lips trembling slightly. She had a thousand words to accuse him, but she couldn't say a single word.

Li Hao wiped her high heels and found that her ankle was red and swollen. He suddenly tightened his grip and gently reached out to touch it. As soon as his fingers touched it, Xia Rui gasped in pain and cried out with a pursed mouth, "It hurts!"

This cry of "pain" was like a sharp knife stabbing into Li Hao's heart.

He raised his eyes, his red eyes met Xia Rui's wet eyes, and self-blame and regret almost drowned him.

"sorry..."

Xia Rui complained to him aggrievedly, "Is it enough to say sorry? It was wrong of me to hide it from you, but why did you disappear?"

Li Hao was stunned and quickly explained: "I...I didn't disappear. I really stuffed a card at your door saying I needed to be away for two days."

Xia Rui blinked her eyes, looking unyielding, "Humph, no! I didn't see it! You are playing missing!"

Li Hao smiled helplessly, "It's my problem."

Xia Rui muttered: "You came here to avoid me!"

Li Hao explained: "I'm not hiding from you. My former squad leader is sick, so I came to see him and, by the way, to sort out some things."

Xia Rui's mouth corners curved downward, and she muttered with a wronged look on her face, "Have you sorted it out? Are you breaking up with me? Is your golden ticket of immunity from death invalid?"

Li Hao said: "Let's not talk about this issue for now. It's getting dark. Let's go to the hotel where I'm staying."

Xia Rui wanted to solve the problem right away, but it was already dark and there were no street lights, so she was a little scared.

Li Hao squatted down with his back to her, "Come up, I'll carry you."

Xia Rui pursed her lips, climbed onto Li Hao's neck, and lay on his back.

Li Hao carried her steadily on his back and walked slowly in the twilight.

"I seem to have caused you trouble today." Xia Rui whispered in his ear.

"Ok?"

"I slapped Zhou Dan."

Li Hao paused. Although Xia Rui was sometimes willful, she was not a person without sense of propriety. He turned his head and asked, "Are you okay?"

"You don't want to ask me why I hit her?"

"You wouldn't hit someone for no reason. She must have done something to make you angry."

"She insulted me."

"She deserves it."

Xia Rui's lips curled up into a smile, and she felt very comfortable.

The shadows of the two people were stretched very long under the light of the mobile phone...
