For several days, Lin Qian stayed home, waiting for her annual leave to end.
Xu Xinyi had moved out, and each morning and evening, Chu Yelin would pick up and drop off the two kids at school.
The days were peaceful—so calm that it felt surreal.
Almost as though she and Yin Moran had never crossed paths.
Only the pain lingering in her heart reminded her vividly that she had once been hurt because of a man.
When her annual leave finally ended, she pulled herself together and prepared to return to work.
Early in the morning, Chu Yelin arrived as usual to take the two kids to school.
"Good morning."
Lin Qian, dressed up, greeted Chu Yelin at the door with a slight smile and motioned for him to come inside.
These past few days, Chu Yelin had taken to having breakfast in her apartment.
Seeing the delight on the kids' faces, she didn't bother to object.
She let Chu Yelin push his limits—from freeloading breakfast to staying for dinner.
