Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Qi Yan and Lin Meiya's child arrived in the year Tuan Zi turned four.

There were quite a few changes that year.

For instance, Xie Xiao was about to return to the headquarters.

It meant that Luo Ming thought the training was almost done, and Xie Xiao should return to the head office.

Among these, Yang Lan and Xie Qingxiao were the happiest about it.

After all, Xie Xiao had been in City B ever since he went to study there.

Now that he was nearly thirty, it was time for him to come back.

Xie Xiao was actually fine with it; he could handle the company matters well.

Li Jun would follow him back, since a secretary always needs a trusted person to facilitate work.

Li Jun wasn't originally from City B anyway. Wherever he worked was just work, not to mention that the salary would increase by 1.5 times.

Utterly delightful.

Tuan Zi's kindergarten had also been found.

Qi Yan was a bit reluctant to let go, but flying in and out was common for them, so it wasn't too much trouble.

The more troublesome issue was Luo Yanran.

Her job.

She really liked the current law firm.

Plus, the law firm only had a presence in City B, without any branches elsewhere.

This meant that once she left, she would leave for good.

Although with Luo Yanran's abilities, finding a job in her hometown would be too easy.

But after so many years, she was definitely reluctant to leave.

The law firm was also trying to retain her.

Xie Xiao watched her suffer from insomnia for several nights in a row, just sitting on the balcony staring out.

They had lived in this house for four or five years now.

Their child was already four years old.

In fact, when they really thought about it, they had been in City B for nearly ten years.

Time seemed to have slipped away unnoticed.

Sometimes, Xie Xiao would wonder how time could pass so quickly.

The person in front of him still looked the same as before.

Xie Xiao carrying a glass of water, sat down beside Luo Yanran. It was already past midnight, approaching one a.m.

Xie Xiao handed the water to Luo Yanran.

She looked up and smiled at Xie Xiao, "Thank you."

There was sympathy in Xie Xiao's eyes. He sat next to her, and just today, Luo Yanran had just submitted her resignation.

It was approved.

After all, they had been negotiating for about half a month.

Yet Luo Yanran decided to leave anyway.

They were reluctant to see her go but still respected her decision.

"I'm sorry, I promised you before that you could always do what you wanted..." Xie Xiao truly felt apologetic, but also somewhat helpless.

He had previously suggested to Luo Ming, how about another two years?

Return after two more years.

But Luo Ming replied, "Xie Xiao, I know what you're considering. You're actually the same anywhere, but right now, your position in the branch is a comfort zone. You need to move up, and you know it. You're doing this for Luoluo, aren't you? But what difference would another two years make? The end result would be the same."

Indeed, Xie Xiao was at the prime of manhood and should be moving forward.

Luo Ming knew this, Xie Xiao knew this, and Luo Yanran knew it as well.

So they couldn't refuse Luo Ming's suggestion.

Their view included a Ferris wheel, clearly visible even at night.

It was the gift Luo Ming gave to Luo Yan for her 27th birthday.

Very beautiful.

At this moment, her gaze shifted from the Ferris wheel to Xie Xiao, "Apologize for what? Resigning was my decision."

Luo Yanran patted the spot next to her, "Sit down."

Xie Xiao sat down beside her and heard her whisper, "Of course, I'll miss it. After all, I've been at the law firm since my internship days, but it's not like I'm heartbroken about it. Like you all said, it's just a job."

She pointed at the Ferris wheel and said, "I've been sitting here these past few nights, thinking about all these years, thinking about our years together. It feels like we've just graduated from college, and our little Tuan Zi is already four years old."

She smiled, "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and indeed, it's time for us to go home."

Xie Xiao held her hand tightly, "Yeah, come home with me. Then what will you do after..."

Xie Xiao's voice hesitated; she didn't know what plans Luo Yanran had after returning.

They hadn't had the chance to talk about it before.

Of course, whatever decision she made, he would certainly support her unconditionally.

"I want to start a law firm back home." Luo Yanran's eyes shined, "Actually, my grandfather had a law firm before, but after he fell ill, he handed it all over to his partners. Later on, that law firm moved away."

Luo Yanran's voice was soft, "I'm still too young. Starting a law firm now, I need someone to help me, so I'll be very busy after going back..."

Her bright eyes just looked at Xie Xiao, "Can you bear with me, is that okay?"

Luo Yanran never wanted to slow down her pace because she needed to keep up with Xie Xiao's steps, even though Xie Xiao might think it's not a big deal, he could take her along.

But she preferred to stand by Xie Xiao's side rather than be a burden on him.

Xie Xiao was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, then Luo Law, let's do it!"

Xie Xiao would never question any of Luo Yanran's decisions.

He understood her, just as she understood him.

No matter what kind of Luo Yanran, he always found her dazzling.

But it was undeniable that Luo Yanran, who shined in her field, was indeed the most dazzling of all.

Xie Xiao gave her a peck, "Don't work too hard."

Luo Yanran softly hummed in response, "I know."

A week later, the couple boarded the plane home with their little Tuan Zi in tow.

Little Tuan Zi was feeling a bit down, after all, his little girlfriends were all back at the kindergarten here.

Xie Xiao coaxed the little guy for a while, but his spirits were still low.

He even sighed, "Daddy, there's no need to comfort me. I'm just temporarily heartbroken."

Xie Xiao:...

Qi Yan, you wait for me!

Luo Yanran laughed out loud at the side, then lightly tapped Tuan Zi's nose, "You can't just say things like that, you know."

Little Tuan Zi clutched his mother's arm, "Mommy, my heart hurts~"

His voice was so cute and childish it was deadly.

Xie Xiao watched as his wife, who just a moment ago had wanted to teach the little guy a lesson, was now playing games with him. They nuzzled each other and exchanged kisses, caught up in their private game.

Xie Xiao:...

His eyes were filled with amusement.

Before him was his family.

No matter where he went, as long as Luo Yanran and little Tuan Zi were there, it was his home.

Xie Xiao gazed out at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

He was about to turn thirty.

Many things flashed before his eyes, but most of all, it was Luo Yanran's smiling face.

Xie Xiao was at an age where he had a successful career and a happy family.

Friends, relatives, loved ones, all were doing well.

Xie Xiao thought that the wishes he made in despair in his previous life seemed to have all come true.

Heaven had been kind to him.

Xie Xiao heard Luo Yanran saying softly to Tuan Zi, "Baby, we're going home~ With daddy, mommy, and our little Tuan Zi~ That's what home is~"

"Okay then, with daddy, mommy, Tuan Zi is happy. Right, daddy?" Tuan Zi's childish voice rang out, a small hand grasping Xie Xiao's.

Xie Xiao withdrew his gaze, took his son's hand, and another hand reached for his wife's, "Yes, that's right. With you two, there's a home."

The couple exchanged a glance, their eyes heavy with unspoken affection.
