In the following two days, Li Hao met with the director. Chen Dao wanted Li Hao to participate in the filming of the television drama throughout the entire process, but Li Hao did not agree immediately. He had promised Lin Xiao to accompany her for two years, and now, just two months in, he felt he couldn't keep that promise.
Upon hearing Li Hao's reasons for refusal, Chen Dao couldn't help but remark that he was being overly romantic.
During the day, Lin Xiao stayed at home with the elderly and children, watching as Li Grandma played with Tian Tian. She felt an unprecedented warmth of family.
"Mom, have you been busy lately?"
This was Lin Xiao's first call to Lin Qi Yue since their visit had ended in a fallout, which had been over eight months ago.
"I'm still the same. Have you been in touch with your brother? I called him, but he's always busy," Lin Qi replied.
Lin Xiao felt a pang of disappointment; she had expected this response. Her mother didn't ask how she was doing or how Tian Tian was.
"Lin Xiao, you’re working now and don’t need to be too frugal. I just added some money to your card," Lin Qi continued talking about Lin Xiao's situation. After a while, she remembered to ask, "Your little one is one year old now, right?"
Lin Xiao didn't know how to respond and simply hummed in acknowledgment.
"Li Hao is an only child; you need to find a way to have a son."
When Lin Xiao heard this, she surprisingly felt a sense of relief. Her mother cared for her in her own way, and it didn’t have to affect Lin Xiao's future.
"Mom, I have things to do," Lin Xiao said as she hung up the phone. Looking at the elderly in the yard playing with their grandchildren, she felt everything fall into place.
She recalled what Li Grandpa had said: "The foundation we built for our generation is meant for the next generation to live well; the next generation is not just anyone's children but belongs to all of us."
She truly wanted to hug her grandparents, feeling that they were indeed remarkable people of their time.
In the evening, Lin Xiao received a call from Nan Jia. "Lin Xiao, I'm at Washington Building; come over."
"Nan Jia, I can't drink anymore; I just woke up at noon," Lin Xiao quickly raised a white flag—her drinking capacity was indeed no match for Nan Jia's.
She heard Nan Jia's playful laughter on the other end of the line.
"This time I'm not inviting you out for drinks; Li Hao asked me to take you shopping and help you pick out some clothes you don’t have."
"Wait for me, I'll be right there."
"Don't drive over here; you’re not familiar with the roads. Let the Li Family's guard take you," Nan Jia urged.
After Lin Xiao explained the situation to her grandparents, she prepared to call for a car. She felt too embarrassed to use her grandfather's guard.
As she stepped outside, she ran into Li Hao, who had just returned.
"I'll take you. I came back to pick up Lin Xiao, knowing she would feel awkward using her grandfather's car."
"You've been busy all day; go rest. I can manage on my own," Lin Xiao said kindly.
"Get in."
Lin Xiao understood Li Hao's temper and quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
"You shouldn't wear flashy clothes to work," Li Hao said, trying to ease Lin Xiao's worries. "I know a place that does custom tailoring."
"You don’t need to explain; I know you mean well," Lin Xiao replied, holding Li Hao's right hand and unconsciously stroking it.
"Call me when you're coming back tonight, and come home early." Li Hao felt a rush of emotions as Lin Xiao touched him.
Lin Xiao noticed the hidden meaning in Li Hao's words, and her face flushed bright red.
"Got it."
Every time Li Hao saw Lin Xiao like this, he couldn't help but feel more drawn to her. No matter how many times it happened, at the beginning of their emotional moments, Lin Xiao would always be shy like a maiden, struggling to contain herself yet able to let go completely.
