333 Reunion 27 (2/2)
An Xiaoning was resting in bed right after receiving a dose when she received Mo Li's call.
Noticing that it was a call from an unfamiliar local number, An Xiaoning hesitated for a moment before picking up. She remained silent and waited for the caller to speak.
An Xiaoning finally let her guard down upon hearing Mo Li's voice.
”Mo Li, we haven't spoken to each other in ages.”
”Yeah, Xiaoning, where are you now?”
”I'm overseas now. How have you been lately?”
”Great. I returned to Xiaotian's side. He decided to bring me home after finding out that I was still alive. The child is born. It's a girl. We'll be getting married once the child is one month old,” said Mo Li.
”Congratulations, it's been hard on you. You've finally found your happiness. I'm really happy for you,” An Xiaoning congratulated her from the bottom of her heart.
”Thank you. Actually, you're the person I'd like to thank the most. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be here today.”
An Xiaoning expressed assent and said, ”It was nothing. Don't mention it. I'm really glad that you're getting married soon. But it's a pity I won't be able to attend your wedding. I'll have to remain abroad for a long period of time.”
”It's alright, no worries.”
”Mo Li, do you still detest him?” An Xiaoning asked slowly.
”After all that pain and suffering, there are still scars that time can never heal. After so many twists and turns, I've returned to square one and gotten back together with him again. I've loved him and hated him before. In fact, I don't quite know what I'm feeling now, though I do wish I could go back in time and change some things. I just hope life will be good from now on.”
”That's right. There'll always be an end to suffering, no matter what. I hope you will have a blissful life from now onwards.”
”…”
A smile formed on Mo Li's face as she ended the call.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Although Mei Yangyang and Long Tianze had yet to hold a proper wedding, Long Tianze still abided by the traditional marriage customs.
He still proceeded with the proposal and betrothal gifts.
The betrothal gifts were selected according to the rules Mei Yangyang's family was accustomed to. Long Tianze gave Mr. Mei a betrothal sum of 88 thousand dollars as well as other gifts.
On the day of the proposal, Mei Yangyang was moved to tears as Long Tianze handed her all his savings as well as all the property under his name. He also swore to treat her well for the rest of their lives.
Mei Yangyang responded by promising to bear him a few children and build a family of their own.
Long Tianze was over the moon. Ever since they had gotten married, they were head-over-heels in love with each other and were practically inseparable.
Long Tianze would return home every day after work. Today was no exception.
After getting off from work, he drove straight home.
He changed into his home slippers at the door before zooming towards the kitchen, only to be greeted with the sight of Mei Yangyang cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
He inched forward gleefully and picked Mei Yangyang up in his arms. ”Hey, beautiful, I'm home.”
”Put me down, quick. We may begin eating once I'm done cooking this dish,” said Mei Yangyang, who was holding a spatula in hand.
Long Tianze did as she instructed and helped to carry the cooked dishes out of the kitchen.
Mei Yangyang removed her apron after completing the last dish and proceeded to bring it out. She then sat down opposite Long Tianze on the dining table.
”Before we dig in, I'd like to talk to you about something.”
Noticing the stern expression on her face, Long Tianze asked in surprise, ”What's the matter?”
”I've been keeping something from you, and I know that you're also hiding something from me. After dinner, let's come clean with each other, alright?” she said calmly while looking at him.
Long Tianze squinted and answered, ”You know that I'm hiding something from you?”
”Yes. Nothing can escape my eyes. I know all about it, that's why I'd like you to tell me about it yourself. I'll then also tell you what I'm hiding from you.”
