Sheng Zexi was stunned.
Then he nodded and said, “Okay.”
It wasn’t until Sang Yuwan’s figure disappeared that Sheng Zexi slowly turned around.
But the moment he turned, his eyes reddened.
He remembered that in the past, his mother always used to pat his head while talking to him.
He also loved having his mother pat his head.
Back then, he was still a child.
Back then, his mother could reach his head easily.
Now, over a decade later, he had long grown taller than his mother.
And now, for his mother to pat his head, she had to raise her hand high.
But…
Even after more than ten years, even though his mother had no memories, this habit of patting his head hadn’t changed. It was still buried deep in her memory.
However, just as Sheng Zexi was about to leave, he spotted Sheng Xinhao not far away.
When he walked over, Sheng Xinhao said, “Are you really that comfortable letting your mother stay with that scheming foreigner?”
Sheng Zexi raised an eyebrow at him. “Are you going to stop it? On what grounds?”
Sheng Xinhao was left speechless.
This kid, why was he still so sharp-tongued?
But Sheng Xinhao didn’t say anything more. He just couldn’t accept that Sang Yuwan was still staying with Henry.
Henry was the one who had destroyed their family.
If it weren’t for Henry’s meddling back then,
Sang Yuwan wouldn’t have “died,” and their relationship and family would surely have been fine.
He wouldn’t have married Fang Wanrong, and there wouldn’t have been any conflict between him and A Xi.
Perhaps they would still be a happy family of three today.
Sheng Xinhao knew he had also made mistakes over the years.
But the root of those mistakes lay with Henry.
Now, he was blaming everything on that foreigner, Henry.
He prayed that A Wan would leave Henry and return to Jing City with him.
—
Meanwhile, Sang Yuwan and Henry returned to the guesthouse.
Looking at this guesthouse, it was clear that before they left this morning, everything had been fine, and they had still been a loving couple.
But now that they were back, everything was different.
Yet Sang Yuwan didn’t feel regret.
Although Sang Yuwan had lost her memories, her personality, her understanding, her principles—none of these had changed.
As soon as they returned to the guesthouse, Henry tried to take Sang Yuwan’s hand, but she pulled away.
Seeing the hurt in Henry’s deep blue-green eyes, in the past, Sang Yuwan would have felt sympathy.
But now, she didn’t.
“A Wan, I know what I did is unforgivable. You can handle me however you want, but…”
Before Henry could finish, Sang Yuwan said, “When we get back to Country A, let’s get a divorce.”
Henry’s heart ached sharply. “A Wan, is there really no hope for us? The love we shared these past ten-plus years was real.”
“It’s precisely because of these past ten-plus years that I can overlook what you did back then. But there’s no way for you and me to stay together anymore.”
“Henry, you should know—I hate being deceived more than anything.”
“You were too selfish.”
Henry closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. In truth, when he had decided to come to China, he had already anticipated this. He knew Sang Yuwan’s personality well.
But when this moment truly arrived, he still didn’t want to face it.
Yet even though he didn’t want to face it, he also knew that now, he couldn’t force A Wan.
Over a decade ago, he had “forced” A Wan once. Now, he could no longer do so.
“Alright, I understand. Whatever needs to be done, I’ll listen to you.”
“Back when you took me away, did you also take something from me?” Sang Yuwan asked.
When she saw Sheng Zexi today, when she saw her son, she vaguely remembered that she should have had something precious connected to Sheng Zexi on her.
But she hadn’t seen it all these years.
Henry didn’t expect A Wan to recall that.
“Yes,” Henry said.
Then, he opened his suitcase, took out a pocket watch from a hidden compartment, and handed it over.
Sang Yuwan took it with a cold expression.
She had only asked tentatively, never expecting…
All these years, the person sleeping beside her, whom she thought was the most devoted, had turned out to be a complete liar.
The moment she held the pocket watch, Sang Yuwan instinctively opened it.
When she saw the photo inside,
her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Droplets fell one by one onto the pocket watch.
No wonder Henry had hidden this thing so carefully all these years.
If she had seen this pocket watch before, how could she not have suspected?
She gripped the pocket watch tightly and shot Henry a sharp look. “So, you’ve been hiding this all these years.”
“You always knew who I was. You always knew how happy and fulfilling my life was before. Yet, because of your selfish love, you acted so unscrupulously.”
“Henry, you should admit it—the person you love most is yourself.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated her like an object.
Taking her away without her consent.
Stealing her memories without her consent.
…
Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing had come to Yangcheng not only to find Sang Yuwan but also to take the children to the Canton Fair.
On the second day after their arrival, Sang Yuwan was found.
Now, this matter could finally be put to rest.
So, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi took the children to explore the Canton Fair over the next few days.
Sang Yuwan had initially come to Yangcheng as a Canton Fair exhibitor. Reuniting with her son, parents, and the others was an unexpected blessing.
Although Sang Yuwan’s company was based in Country A, since she had decided to stay with her parents,
she planned to move back to Jing City for permanent residence afterward.
So, she needed to handle matters concerning her company in Country A. Ideally, she would relocate the headquarters to China.
However, that probably wasn’t possible—the Country A government likely wouldn’t agree.
But opening a branch office should be feasible.
As for Country A, she could entrust it to someone she trusted. If her presence was needed, she could occasionally take a flight there.
The Yangcheng authorities wanted to introduce some production lines.
Being Chinese herself, Sang Yuwan naturally hoped for her country’s development and saw no reason to refuse.
While Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing were taking the children around the Canton Fair in Yangcheng,
Sang Yuwan was quite busy.
First, she flew to Country A and promptly divorced Henry.
When it came to decisions she had made, Sang Yuwan was always resolute.
Then, she dealt with subsequent company matters before flying back to Yangcheng.
When Sheng Xinhao went to pick her up at the airport, he saw her alone, without Henry, who he loathed. Upon hearing that Sang Yuwan had divorced Henry, he was instantly delighted.
However, Sang Yuwan wasn’t particularly close to Sheng Xinhao either.
After all, she hadn’t regained her memories yet and didn’t recall anything related to him.
Besides, she also remembered that her son had said Sheng Xinhao had remarried.
