The day of departure has arrived.
Many people were walking around the airport, holding their suitcases and travel bags. Some planned to leave and return early, some came from another place after leaving the airplane, and some planned to leave the country for a long time and return only for a bit.
Ran Xueyi was the latter. She will leave for a while. Nobody knows when she will return but if things went as she had planned, she might return after two years.
Because it was a sudden trip abroad, aside from Song Yu Han, Zhao Fei, Wu Qi, and Feng Huai, who was the last to know about her leaving, nobody else knew about this since it was a bit too sudden.
Zhao Fei hugged Ran Xueyi and said, "Take care of yourself. I will prepare everything here so you can have a smooth return."
"That's right, Sister Ran. Make sure to take care of yourself. We won't be able to see you while you're out there, but don't forget about us when you finally become too popular all right?" Feng Huai rubbed the corners of his eyes, which were currently red after shedding some tears.
Ran Xueyi patted his head and told him not to worry, "I will not forget you. When I return, I will buy you some things you can play with!"
"Sister Ran, I'm not a dog!" Feng Huai pouted his lips and grumbled. Of course, he knew that Ran Xueyi was only messing with her so he could stop crying but being treated like a child or a pet with his owner leaving and promising to buy toys for him, Feng Huai still felt a bit wronged.
Ran Xueyi and Zhao Fei turned their heads to look at each other before laughing together.
After greeting the two, Ran Xueyi faced Wu Qi, who was standing on the side and watched them silently.
"I will leave for a while... I will have to trouble Uncle Wu to take care of Chestnut while I'm away," said Ran Xueyi to the older man.
Since she had to leave, Chestnut's President office would be empty for a while as well. Only Wu Qi would be left behind to take care of the matters there. Unlike when she's there, where she could help him manage and solve some situation they encountered, this time, Wu Qi, who has little knowledge about the entertainment world, had to take the responsibility to take care of Chestnut.
Naturally, it was not only taking care of the company... It was also to make sure that the growth of the company will continue.
Wu Qi nodded his head at her, "Madam can call me anytime if you encountered any problem while staying abroad. I may not be there, but I know some people who can come to you and help you immediately."
Ran Xueyi felt warmed when she heard that. This older man still wanted to take care of her even when she's abroad.
Soon, farewells were said to the three and they immediately had to leave since they had other matters to do. These matters were unknown but it should be connected to the words they had just said to Ran Xueyi.
Watching them leave, Ran Xueyi felt surging emotions inside her. The sadness of parting with the people who believed in her made her feel uneasy and want to tear up.
"You can trust what Wu Qi said to you. Even though you will live abroad for a while, there are people who will take care of your things and help you. Those people are working under me and have my trust in them."
Song Yu Han untied the scarf around his neck and put it around her. Though it wasn't winter in Flower Country, the place where Ran Xueyi would be living from now on was very cold. Summer was never hot there and instead, it was colder than early winter here.
"I heard it's cold there. Wear your coats properly and try not to get sick." He held her by the waist and put his lips against her forehead. "I will finish everything here and go to your side soon. So, wait for me..."
Ran Xueyi nodded her head and closed her eyes as she wrapped in his warm embrace. The feeling of his arms hugging her... it will probably be awhile before she could feel it again.
And she was right to think so...
The two shared several minutes hugging each other before Ran Xueyi walked inside the plane that would take her to Ren Country.
"All passengers, please take your seats and wear your seatbelts. Turn all of your mobiles and electronic devices. For a smooth departure, we want you to refrain from standing as the plane will leave now."
Hearing the voice of the flight attendant making announcements, Ran Xueyi could no longer hold back her tears. Tears after tears rushed down her cheeks as soon as she realized that it would probably take a while for her to see Song Yu Han again.
With her head facing the window, looking outside to see a shadow of his figure, Ran Xueyi was disappointed that she couldn't see him for the last time.
And just as she thought that Song Yu Han had already left as soon as she entered the plane, she saw a black car parked across the fence.
Song Yu Han stood and looked at the plane for a while. He didn't know where Ran Xueyi would be seated, but he still stared as if it didn't matter where she was, he could still see her and watch over her.
p
She spent years inside that country, but only mere short months did she feel so happy and reluctant to leave.
Within those months, Ran Xueyi found out about her family's schemes, met Song Yu Han, and started her own career once again.
She even had a child now growing inside her womb.
Unfortunately, the world was still against her even though she just wanted to start over again. That is why... Ran Xueyi will do everything to take down the world and let no one underestimate her again.
Days passed by soon turned into months to years. The world continued to rotate and grow even more developed as time passed slowly.
It was already almost three years since she had left the country. It was not a smooth and easy journey being a stranger and outsider inside Ren Country, but now she feels much more free than when she was in Flower Country.
Ran Xueyi watched as the petals fell to the ground from the tree across the window to her room. A cluster of pink flower petals formed underneath the tall tree.
As she watched the tree swaying with the wind and more flower petals fell like snow, knocking sound was heard from the closed door.
-Knock, knock.
"Ran Xueyi, are you inside?"
Hearing Jian Yiling's voice from outside, Ran Xueyi briefly told her to come in. Perhaps because of the voices that sounded inside the room, a small figure in the bed, stirred uncomfortably.
When Ran Xueyi swept her gaze towards the figure, she became afraid that she would wake him.
As soon as Jian Yiling opened the door and entered the room, she saw Ran Xueyi standing next to the bed with a finger on her lips, gesturing for her to lower her voice, as if she was afraid of waking a sleeping dragon in the bed. Of course, there was no dragon in bed, but the figure could induce a sound like a dragon's roar.
Jian Yiling even shivered thinking of those days whenever she heard the small child's screams and cries. There were several times when she had to be sleep deprived because of the noise. Though every room was soundproofed, nothing seemed to be able to stop the noise from traveling across and shaking the whole manor.
"I say... I am known for being not afraid of anything. But when it comes to your son, I feel like I will soon celebrate my 100th birthday because of him," Jian Yiling approached the bed where the two were and said these words in a low voice, still scared to wake the little one.
Ran Xueyi could only laugh.
These past few years, Ran Xueyi and Jian Yiling have been together. Most of the time, it was Jian Yiling who was willing to take care of her. And when she finally gave birth eight months after she left Flower Country, Jian Yiling took care of both mother and son.
Looking at the small figure sleeping in the bed, Ran Xueyi's eyes became softer and she reached her hand to move the stray hair that fell on the small child's face.
The small child seemed to recognize his mother's touch and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Tsk, how can someone be so adorable while sleeping?" Jian Yiling mumbled and reached her finger to pinch the small one's cheek. She never liked children, but towards this small child, she somehow made an exception towards him.
Ran Xueyi, who saw her best friend complaining but still treated her son gently, also smiled.

Poisonlily has something to say: Sorry guys, my father unexpectedly passed away last night while I was in the middle of writing. I didn't finish to write this chapter until today so last night's update arrived a day later. One of the main reason why I'm writing is to give my parents the money I earn from writing, and previously, my father for his dialysis. However, now that he's gone, I feel so depressed and down. But don't worry, I will still continue writing this novel until the end.
I'm okay now...
Thank you for waiting and all the support!
