"Brother Shouya, I want to go to Garden Village tomorrow," An Xin Ya suddenly said.
Garden Village! Shouya knew she wanted to pay respects to her mother, and it was good to accompany her there. After all, the Bai Group was now managed by Rowe and the data was being sent back to Rafas in Las Vegas. From now on, Rafas would be the true chairman of the Bai Family.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow," Shouya replied with a smile.
After finishing their meal, they returned to their room. An Xin Ya went into her bedroom first and opened the wardrobe to pick out a black dress. Shouya walked in and, seeing her change clothes, asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"To West Quiet Cemetery!" An Xin Ya said without hesitation as she removed her clothes in front of him, revealing her translucent skin and black lace bra. Shouya felt his mouth go dry, a current coursing through his body, causing him to swallow hard as he stared at her.
An Xin Ya stood in front of the mirror, seemingly admiring her figure. When she was blind, she had imagined what she looked like. After regaining her sight, she realized she was quite beautiful. However, in her eyes, Yan Wushuang was the most beautiful woman—stunningly gorgeous and ethereal, with an enchanting fragrance. No wonder Rafas loved her so dearly.
She finished putting on the dress and looked at herself from side to side in the mirror before tying up her long, silky black hair. It was then that she noticed Brother Shouya standing at the door. Seeing his slightly awkward expression made her chuckle softly. She turned around and smiled at him, asking, "Brother Shouya, are you not coming with me? If you’re not coming, then I’ll go by myself."
Shouya quickly snapped back to reality, a hint of panic in his eyes. He immediately put on a smile and walked over to An Xin Ya, saying, "Of course I'll go with you! What if someone tries to take you away? I need to be by your side to protect you!"
An Xin Ya felt a blush creeping onto her beautiful face as she lowered her gaze and replied coyly, "I'm already an adult; I know how to protect myself. Besides, who would dare take me? Even if someone did take me away, you could still find me!"
She raised her bright eyes playfully at him. His handsome face had rebellious eyebrows slightly raised; beneath long, slightly curled eyelashes were clear eyes like morning dew. He had a strong nose and lips as pink as rose petals against his fair skin...
When she couldn't see before, she had been curious about what Brother Shouya looked like. In the dark world she lived in, she felt his love for her through sound and scent and imagined his appearance in her mind. When the thick bandages covering her eyes were finally removed, she saw him—his handsome features radiated warmth like a spring breeze.
Shouya looked at her helplessly but said nothing. No matter what happened, he needed to stay by her side and protect her well. Recently, Grandma An from Las Vegas occasionally called him; after all, Xinya was still inexperienced in the world. She asked him to take good care of Xinya. He had promised Grandma An that he would protect her and could not leave her side for even a moment.
Looking at her lips, Shouya couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.
"Mmm... Brother Shouya, please don't do that!" An Xin Ya said with flushed cheeks as she pushed him away shyly and lowered her head. "Let's hurry up and get going!"
Stepping out of his embrace, she went to tidy up her bag. Holding it in front of him with a look that signaled they could leave, she was the first to walk out of the bedroom.
Shouya smiled secretly as he touched his lips where he could still taste her sweet flavor like fragrant rose petals. He followed her out of the room.
Walking beside her, he wrapped his arm around her waist tightly against himself.
At first, Xinya felt a bit shy since there were staff members and other guests around; it would be quite embarrassing if they saw them!
But Shouya was indifferent; such things were quite normal abroad, only relatively conservative in China.
After taking the elevator down to the first floor, the car was already waiting at the hotel entrance. Shouya quickly opened the car door, and An Xin Ya glanced at him with a hint of a smile before getting into the car.
Shouya closed the door, walked around the front of the car, opened his door, and sat in the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove out of the hotel gate, soon merging onto the highway heading towards West Quiet Cemetery.
Inside the car, An Xin Ya felt a bit stuffy in her chest. She rolled down the window, and a refreshing breeze rushed in, brushing against her face and blowing her hair.
As she watched the scenery and objects rush by, she realized that Beijing was a city rich in culture, preserving many cultural relics from the past, mostly glazed tiles, courtyard houses, and hutongs...
"Brother Shouya, you said if we get married, will we always live in Las Vegas?" Xinya suddenly asked as she turned to look at Shouya, who was gripping the steering wheel.
"If you want to live back in China, that's fine too." After all, this was her hometown; she was born and raised here and had deep emotional ties. If Xinya wanted to return to China, he would go back with her.
"Really?" An Xin Ya seemed a bit unhappy. She had lived in Las Vegas for nearly ten years, and her grandmother had also gotten used to life there. The small town had many Chinese elements; it wasn't necessary to return to China but could visit occasionally to pay respects to her parents.
"What's wrong?" Shouya noticed her change in mood and furrowed his brow slightly, asking softly with concern.
An Xin Ya shook her head and said, "It's nothing. No matter where we live, as long as you're by my side." As she said this, a naive smile appeared on her face, radiant like the afternoon sun.
Shouya didn't respond but smiled back; he would respect whatever choice she made about where to live.
West Quiet Cemetery
Upon arriving at West Quiet Cemetery, Shouya accompanied An Xin Ya to Bai Jingyan's grave. An Xin Ya gently placed the chrysanthemums she held at the grave and looked at the black-and-white photo on the tombstone. He still smiled so elegantly; she believed he must have been a refined and graceful man during his lifetime.
It was said that twenty-one years ago, under Bai Jingyan's management, Bai Group opened up markets in Europe and America, with stock prices steadily rising and setting numerous records.
There were so many things she wanted to say to her father, but when it came time to speak, words failed her; she could only silently communicate with him in her heart.
Now that they had won the lawsuit and Bai Jingsong was imprisoned, no one went to visit him in jail. His wife couldn't withstand their father's pressure and had no choice but to have a lawyer present him with divorce papers for his signature, severing any future ties with the business.
Bai Jingsong in prison looked aged and worn; his hair had turned white. He had aged significantly all at once. This was all his own doing; he couldn't blame anyone else—what goes around comes around.
After reclaiming the Bai Family assets, even White Residence was returned. An Xin Ya entered White Residence; everything here felt unfamiliar. Stepping into her father's study, she heard from the long-serving butler that nothing in the study had been moved.
While she was searching through the books on the shelf, she came across a copy of "Gone with the Wind." When she took it out, a photograph slipped out and fell to the floor. She picked it up; the back had a date written on it, while the front showed her father with a young and beautiful woman. She noticed that she bore some resemblance to the woman, and there was a word at the bottom: "Xin." Finally, she saw her mother's appearance—beautiful and simple, with bright eyes and white teeth.
An Xin Ya then walked to the grave of her father's first wife. The woman looked dignified and graceful, her smile warm. No matter what, she was her mother. Although not her biological mother, she had accepted and raised her, even if only for a short time.
In front of her grave, she placed a bouquet of White Lilies.
Afterward, they left West Quiet Cemetery and did not return to Millennium Hotel for now but went to Bai Group instead. All the staff greeted them respectfully upon seeing them. Although the company had been nearly ruined by Bai Jingsong, many veteran employees continued to work silently within the company, contributing greatly.
Many employees had been exploited by Bai Jingsong, but now that Rafas had taken over, the company felt completely revitalized. Rowe, the manager of Bai Group, greeted them with a smile as soon as they arrived. He approached Shouya and shook his hand, complaining, "Shouya, look at you enjoying yourself while I'm here busy as ever, hardly able to catch my breath... Have you considered coming back to help?"
Shouya playfully punched Rowe's chest and said, "Neither Xinya nor I are business people, so we’ll leave all this to you. I trust you and Lefas; you will manage Bai Family well."
Rowe looked at the sweet and beautiful Xinya. It wasn't his first time seeing her, but each time felt refreshing and surprising; this woman was simply stunning! She radiated a cleanliness akin to a gentle breeze that warmed people's hearts.
An Xin Ya smiled lightly at him, quietly standing by without interrupting their conversation. Occasionally, she glanced around; this was her father's company, built by his own hands. Now that she had finally reclaimed it, she felt particularly gratified.
Rowe initially wanted to invite them for dinner but Shouya politely declined. He left with Xinya from Bai Group. They weren't ready to go back yet; Shouya accompanied An Xin Ya as they explored various attractions in Beijing, enjoying themselves immensely.
Xinya thought that when they returned to Las Vegas, she must have enough fun before going back because once she did, she would marry Shouya and become a housewife, raising children without much time left for outings.
They returned to Beijing Millennium Hotel around seven in the evening. An Xin Ya rushed into the bathroom first for a hot shower while Shouya secretly followed her in for a couples' bath. The air was filled with their heated desires; the bathroom echoed with deep breaths from him and soft moans from her under the warm yellow light that swirled with an indulgent and ambiguous atmosphere.
