Chapter 1509 - 1526: You Still Can’t Let Him Go (3)
The humiliation you gave me, I will return it to you bit by bit...

Xia Xiaonuan sat alone on a bench by the street, holding an ice cream and eating.
The ice cream was delicious, yet she found it impossible to taste the flavor she remembered from the past.
Several couples walked by, holding each other, their faces radiating with happiness;
there were also a few girls holding hands, discussing a boy from school, laughing heartily;
as well as a man with spiky hair standing next to her, loudly speaking on the phone, yelling about breaking up with his girlfriend...
In this world, separations and reunions are performed daily.
She’s neither the first, nor will she be the last.
Xia Xiaonuan took another bite of the ice cream, a bitter smile flickering at the corner of her lips.
At that moment, she felt a slight shadow cast across her view.
A figure blocked the light in front of her.
Xiaonuan paused slightly, raising her eyes.
Then she saw Liang Shaochen standing before her.
"Shaochen?" Xia Xiaonuan looked at him with surprise, smiling, "What are you doing here?"
Liang Shaochen was slightly out of breath, looking at her with a smile, "I was here for some errands, such a coincidence to meet you here."
Xia Xiaonuan laughed, "Yes, but... what happened? You look like you’ve been running?"
How could he not be tired? He circled this plaza twice before finally finding her.
"Nothing... maybe it’s just a bit hot." Liang Shaochen said as he reached out, using the back of his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, then sat down beside her.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly bent down, taking out tissues from her bag and handing them to him.
At that moment, not far away, a man wearing sunglasses was hiding behind a vendor’s stand, holding a camera, "click-click" capturing the two.
Liang Shaochen paused slightly, took the tissues Xiaonuan handed him, and wiped the sweat.
"Why... why are you here?" he said, picking up a balloon from her other hand and waving it in front of her, "Still playing with this?"
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "A child gave this to me."
Liang Shaochen uttered an "Oh?", seemingly interested in the details.

Xia Xiaonuan had to recount the recent event.
Of course, she omitted the part where the little girl noticed her sadness.
Liang Shaochen murmured, "Balloon represents an angel’s wings..."
"Hmm..."
"This, seems to remind me of the time when you said..." Liang Shaochen stared at the balloon, almost blurting out.
Yet, halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced at him, a hint of awkwardness crossing her face, quickly averting her gaze.
Liang Shaochen shook the balloon and said, "Kids are really adorable..."
"Yes..." Xia Xiaonuan laughed, standing up to dispose of the ice cream cone.
Liang Shaochen swiftly stepped ahead, grabbing the trash from her hand, "Let me do it." He smiled at her as he said this.
With that, he turned and headed toward the trash bin.
Xiaonuan watched his tall figure, feeling somewhat dazed. She vaguely remembered he once told her that he was no longer Nan Mo, nor was she Qiqi.
But now, he still unconsciously recalled the past...
Xia Xiaonuan felt a surge of warmth inside her, yet it was accompanied by a faint unease.

At the same time, Nangong Yaoling’s car slowly pulled into the villa’s courtyard.
He was driving himself, so after removing the car key, he stepped out and walked toward the villa’s main entrance.
