It seemed that from the day they arrived at the villa, Qiao Lingyu had been deeply interested in Su Ranqing.

In the three years they had been married, she had never asked him to accompany her on her birthday, and he, as her husband, had never mentioned it.

He ordered a cake, bought a gift, and called her early that day.

"Remember to come back early tonight. I have something to tell you!"

With a sense of nervousness, Qiao Lingyu dialed Su Ranqing's number.

"Alright."

Su Ranqing did not think much of it and answered. Then she said: "But I want to go to a place first."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you come back first?"

Could it be that this woman was going to work overtime on such a special day?

Qiao Lingyu couldn't help but think in his heart, and his voice also began to sound a little displeased.

"I'll do it as soon as I can." Su Ranqing didn't tell Qiao Lingyu where she was going.

Qiao Lingyu was a little unhappy in his heart. After thinking a bit, he decided to forget about it.

"Then you must come back early and hear it, right?"

Su Ranqing, who was on the other side, was startled. What happened to Qiao Lingyu today? Did he say all these things?

"I know." Even though she was very suspicious, Su Ranqing still replied her.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ranqing's mind started to wander.

In fact, she couldn't help but go somewhere today every year.

Although it was just a glance, she still couldn't let it go.

Presumably, Qiao Lingyu would not know that today was her birthday.

Su Ranqing laughed self-deprecatingly. After all, someone who hadn't asked her about her birthday for three years, how could he possibly give her a birthday?

After packing up the documents, she got up and went downstairs to drive to a place.

She went to a department store.

After buying some snacks and children's things, she then drove to welfare home.

This welfare home was the place Song Zimo had stayed at before, and also the first place Song Zimo had accompanied her to for her birthday.

The memory of that birthday was vivid in her mind, and in the blessings of a group of children, the world no longer seemed dull, but full of color.

"Sister Ran Qing, you're here!"

All of the children of welfare home recognized Su Ranqing, and many of them immediately surrounded her.

"Go to the car and bring the stuff out!" Su Ranqing said to the slightly older child.

On the day of her birthday, she didn't receive any presents other than those of her parents. Instead, she gave a lot of gifts.

Seeing those children smiling so brilliantly after getting the presents, Su Ranqing also laughed along.

If Qiao Lingyu was here, he would definitely be very surprised that Su Ranqing could have such a beautiful smile.

"Miss Su, you're here." The dean walked up to her and said, "Come, let's go take a seat inside!"

"You are too polite, President Ma." Su Ranqing laughed, she was already very familiar with this place, and her relationship with President Ma was also very good.

"No matter what you say, the money you donate every year will allow these kids to live a better life. I have to thank you for that!" President Ma said to Su Ranqing, "I just wonder how that child Zimo is doing right now."

Mentioning Song Zimo, the smile on Su Ranqing's face lessened.

The President Ma didn't notice and instead sighed. "From the moment I was born, he was very stubborn. I had thought that you could change him, but who knew that this child …"

While talking, President Ma noticed the forced smile on Su Ranqing's face, and said embarrassedly: "Look at me, I brought up these unhappy things again."

"It's alright, President Ma." Su Ranqing said.

President Ma was now almost seventy years old and should have retired, but she couldn't bear to part with the kids here, so she stayed behind. Su Ranqing knew that President Ma truly treated every child here as if they were his own, and respected her a lot.

"Big brother Zimo!"

While the two of them were talking, a surprised exclamation came from outside.

Su Ranqing was immediately shocked, she thought she had heard a hallucination, and remained motionless, not daring to turn her head back.

"Zimo? It's really you? "You're back!" When the surprised voice of the President Ma entered his ears, Su Ranqing was completely stunned.

"That's right, President Ma. I'm sorry, I left for so long before I returned." Song Zimo said to the President Ma, then looked towards Su Ranqing who had his back facing him: "Ran Qing."

Su Ranqing seemed to have slowly regained her senses as she turned around and stared at Song Zimo.

His expression was still the same as before, just like when he accompanied her to the welfare home for the last time three years ago. The corners of his mouth were bent, and his appearance was as warm as jade.

When old friends met, Su Ranqing's entire being was a little absent-minded.

As the two walked in the welfare home, Su Ranqing only felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"After returning, I didn't even go to welfare home to take a look, and suddenly remembered that today is your birthday. I thought you might come here."

Song Zimo looked at Su Ranqing, his eyes full of tender affection.

Su Ranqing's heart froze. Three years ago, when they had still not broken up, she remembered that after their first birthday, she told Song Zimo that they would come here every year.

He smiled and said yes, he would come with her in the future.

She kept her promise, but unfortunately, he was gone.

Not far away, a reporter was carrying a backpack as he walked in.

Because someone said that this welfare home's Principal was a very dedicated person, her mission today was to interview this President Ma.

"Seriously, there was an even more explosive gossip, yet I was asked to interview some positive powers. My specialty was to dig up gossip and expose hot spots, alright!?" The reporter wearing a peaked cap mumbled to himself, then walked into the welfare home.

Just as he was about to ask someone where the President Ma was, the reporter saw a figure with sharp eyes.

That figure was Su Ranqing from the business world?

A hint of doubt flashed past her eyes, who was the person beside Su Ranqing? What was their relationship?

Even though they were just standing together, her mind was already working on the plot. A mysterious smile played at the corner of her mouth, and she quickly picked up the camera.

In front of him, Song Zimo suddenly reached out and held Su Ranqing's hand, "Ran Qing, I know you still love me, right?"

Su Ranqing did not speak, her face did not have any expression, but despite her heart aching pain, she was able to hold it in.

The most painful moment is already over, isn't it?

When he had left her in such a cruel manner, she had sworn that she would never be tempted by anyone ever again.

But why did she feel so sad?
