"I'll contact Gu Nianshen right away."
"Bai Se," Lin Yiqian said just as Bai Se was about to hang up.
"Is there anything else?"
"Why not…" Lin Yiqian began to speak as tears appeared in her eyes. Her hands balled into fists as she held her breath momentarily. "Perhaps you should bring Xiaoyu back to America."
Bai Se remained silent for a long while.
"Let's talk about this after I pick Xiaoyu up," he said calmly.
"Alright."
After hanging up, Lin Yiqian tossed her phone onto the passenger seat as she rested both arms on the driving wheel while she stared straight ahead.
There was a look of melancholy and guilt in her eyes.
'Xiaoyu, what must mother do to make him fall in love with me? What must I do so that I won't lose you? What must I do so that Daddy doesn't hate Mommy?' Lin Yiqian wondered to herself.
Gu Nianshen and Xi Xia were the publicly acknowledged couple. Xi Xia was the one who wore his proposal bracelet.
