Time seemed to have stopped at that instant, causing the wind to stop blowing and the water to stop flowing.
All that was left was a woman leaning against another man's chest.
Everything felt as if it would extend into eternity.
After an unknown period of time, the man finally let go of Qiu Mucheng and turned to leave without saying a word.
“Can you tell me who you are?”
Watching the man's leaving silhouette, she was filled with curiosity.
For some reason, the stranger gave her a sense of indescribable familiarity.
She felt as if she had run into someone who was close to her in his past life.
In fact, she felt especially warm and comforted in his embrace.
The delight that filled her heart was similar to that of a fish who had returned to the water.
All this while, only one man could melt her heart that way.
Unfortunately, that man was no longer around, for she had seen his dead body buried with her own eyes.
However, she didn't expect to encounter another man who made her feel the exact same way in Jiangbei.
It was just that she couldn't see his face from underneath the mask he was wearing.
In spite of that, she could feel the intimacy he exuded as if he was her fated soulmate.
All of a sudden, her heart began to beat furiously as she nervously asked the man for his name.
However, he simply ignored her.
Qiu Mucheng pressed on with her questions, “May I know if you know Ye Fan?”
Despite being shaken, the man maintained his silence.
After that, he picked up his pace and left swiftly.
At that moment, Qiu Mucheng hadn't noticed that her son had returned to her side. Raising his adorable little face, he looked in the direction the man had gone and asked Qiu Mucheng, “Mommy, it's Daddy. Did he come to visit us?”
Qiu Mucheng didn't even know how to answer him.
Why does that man give me the same vibe as Ye Fan? But since Ye Fan is definitely dead, who can this man be? Or is reincarnation really possible?
“Fan Junior, let's go home now.”
Failing to figure the matter out, Qiu Mucheng decided not to dwell on it.
When she looked up again, the man was no longer anywhere to be seen.
Subsequently, Qiu Mucheng led Qiu Mufan home with a tinge of disappointment.
Ever since the Zhang family learned of Qiu Mucheng's relationship with Ye Fan, they protected her from the shadows, resulting in a massive improvement in her circumstances.
By then, Qiu Mucheng had found a job workingas middle management in a listed company.
Not only did she receive a handsome salary, but her company also arranged for her to stay in a high-end residential area close to Westlake. There, she was provided with an apartment that was two hundred square meters big.
With that, Qiu Mucheng's life not only settled into a routine but also continued to make progress.
The only event out of the blue was the sudden appearance of the mysterious man.
It wasn't until the mother and son were no longer in sight that the man hiding in the corner of the street recovered his gaze.
“Mucheng, I'm sorry for not being able to be by your side. The only thing I can do now is shelter you from the storm. Goodbye, Mucheng,” Ye Fan bid her farewell in a low voice.
With that, Ye Fan cut a forlorn figure as he turned and left.
In the end, he chose not to reveal himself to Qiu Mucheng.
Once upon a time, he thought that her status as his wife would bring her honor and safety.
In reality, it brought her nothing but suffering and relentless torment.
