Fu Yanci frowned deeply as he looked at the photos on the ground.

How did his mother get photos of Wen Qingruan and that doctor?

How did his mother know that Wen Qingruan had returned?

Why did his mother send him these photos?

Fu Yanci bent down and picked up the photos one by one; it was clear from each one that they had been taken secretly.

Most of them are in hospitals. One photo shows Wen Qingruan nestled next to a doctor, looking haggard, seemingly at the entrance of the operating room.

That doctor must have just finished surgery.

Fu Yanci stared at the photos, his brow furrowed in a knot.

If his mother hadn't sent those photos, he might have really thought that Wen Qingruan was dating that doctor.

But now, regardless of what Wen Qingruan's relationship with that doctor is now, he began to suspect that Wen Qingruan's departure back then might have been related to his mother.

Otherwise, why would his mother be so bothered by Wen Qingruan's return, even going so far as to have someone follow her, take photos, and send them to her?

Isn't the point to make him think that Wen Qingruan has another man by her side, and to make him keep his distance from Wen Qingruan?

Wen Qingruan...

Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then...?

He made a phone call.

"Check all the interactions between my mother and Wen Qingruan from five years ago."

The next morning, Wen Qingruan received a call from the police station, asking her to come in and cooperate with the investigation and give a statement.

It was still early, and Luo Luo was still asleep, so she had to ask Gu Ying to take care of her.

Wen Qingruan left only after Gu Ying arrived.

"Thank you for looking after Lolo."

Gu Ying waved her hand, "Anyway, I'm free today. I'll take Luo Luo and Lu Lu to see a movie later. You can pick her up when you're done."

"Okay, I'll be back soon, thank you."

Wen Qingruan went out and had just stepped out of the apartment when she saw that familiar car parked there.

Through the windshield, she could see the man in the driver's seat.

Clearly, Fu Yanci had also noticed her.

At this point, he had already opened the car door and was standing beside it.

He wore a long black coat, his face was handsome, and he looked somewhat haggard, which gave him an air of aloofness and nobility.

Seeing that Wen Qingruan refused to come forward, Fu Yanci walked towards her.

He didn't say anything, but simply grabbed her wrist and walked towards the car.

It wasn't until he opened the car door and Wen Qingruan sat in the passenger seat that she realized what was happening.

"Fu Yanci, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a hot breakfast was already in her hand.

"Chen Rong Ji's crab roe buns should still be warm."

Fu Yanci started the car and slowly drove onto the main road, heading towards the police station.

Wen Qingruan looked at the lunchbox in her hand. He was right; the crab roe buns were still warm, and they even warmed her heart.

For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she had returned to the past.

At that time, she had just been accepted into the ballet troupe.

She wanted to stay in the theater troupe's dormitory, but Fu Yanci refused, insisting that she stay with him.

Because of this, Wen Qingruan and Fu Yanci had a falling out.

She didn't want to get up early and felt that living in the dormitory was more convenient, but Fu Yanci refused to be separated from her, even though she promised to go back once a week.

In the end, with no other option, Fu Yanci bought an apartment near the theater troupe, and they lived there.

Wen Qingruan loves to eat the crab roe buns made fresh by Chen Rongji. Every time, Fu Yanci would get up early and drive half an hour to queue up, then drive home, pick up Wen Qingruan, and take her to the theater troupe.

Every time she got into the car, she would pretend to be very surprised and hold up her breakfast, then give Fu Yanci a warm kiss.

"Who brought me the most delicious crab roe bun in the world? It was my husband!"

"Who's so lucky to have such a lovely girlfriend? It's my husband!"

"Who is the happiest person in the world? It's me!"

……

Memories flashed through my mind. The happiness we felt back then was so intense that when we lost it, the pain was excruciating, and I still can't let go of it.

Wen Qingruan can still clearly recall every single thing they did together.

She knew that was a happiness she could never have again...

The crab roe soup dumplings in her hand were still the same as before, but she could no longer love him so freely and flamboyantly.

At the traffic light intersection, Fu Yanci stopped the car and got out.

Seeing that Wen Qingruan was holding her breakfast but not eating, he reached out and opened the box.

"Try it, it's been a long time since I've had it, I wonder if it still tastes the same."

Wen Qingruan looked at the crystal-clear crab roe buns in the box, her vision gradually blurring.

She dared not look up, afraid that Fu Yanci would see the tears in her eyes.

But the tears wouldn't listen and fell onto the back of my hand, scalding hot.

She quickly wiped away the tears on the back of her hand, picked up a steamed bun, and put it in her mouth.

Fu Yanci looked at her, "Is it delicious?"

Wen Qingruan nodded, then shook her head.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and held back her sobs.

"It's different now."

Five years have passed, how could it still taste the same as before?

Things are not what they used to be.

Fu Yanci tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"Really? Let me try some."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth in Wen Qingruan's direction.

Wen Qingruan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Fu Yanci wanted her to feed him.

They used to do this often when they were together.

He was in charge of driving, and she was in charge of feeding them.

But now, they are no longer the same people they were back then.

Fu Yanci seemed unaware that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"Give me one; I haven't eaten anything since last night."

Hearing that he had been hungry, Wen Qingruan disregarded everything else, picked up a steamed bun, and fed it to Fu Yanci.

"Why have you been hungry for so long?"

If you have a sensitive stomach, you should eat on time.

"You used to be so eloquent when you talked about me, but now you seem so indifferent when it comes to yourself."

She was so focused on Fu Yanci's stomach that she didn't notice the slight upturn of Fu Yanci's lips.

"Want more?"

Wen Qingruan asked.

Fu Yanci put away his smile and said in a serious tone.

"Hmm, give me another one. Now that you mention it, my stomach does feel a little uncomfortable."

Wen Qingruan gave him another stomach pill.

"Does your stomach hurt a lot? Do you have any stomach medicine with you? Why don't you stop by the roadside for a moment, and I'll go to the pharmacy to buy you some medicine."

Fu Yanci turned his head and glanced at Wen Qingruan.

The concern in her eyes didn't lie.

She still cares about him.

Fu Yanci looked away. "No need, I feel much better after eating."

Eat it while it's hot.

I think it still tastes the same as before, it hasn't changed.

Try it again carefully.

Wen Qingruan didn't say anything more and kept her head down eating.

The car quickly arrived at the police station.

Fu Yanci got out of the car and went inside with Wen Qingruan.

He had already given instructions, and Wen Qingruan only needed to give a simple statement and would be out in no time.

Fu Yanci also finished taking notes.

Chen Shu is suspected of kidnapping and intentional assault. He has been arrested and awaits legal punishment.

As Fu Yanci emerged from the police station, his face grew even paler, and his vision began to blur.

Upon seeing Wen Qingruan, he stepped forward.

"Have you finished taking the statement?"

Wen Qingruan nodded.

"I have other things to attend to, so I must go now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yanci suddenly fell straight towards her.

"Fu Yanci!"
