Chapter 1213: Chapter 1308: Coming Clean (2)

The shop owner looked up and saw a tall and distinguished figure walk in.

The shop owner smiled, "Mr. Chi is here?"

Chi Cheng nodded with a gentle smile, "The usual white roses, thank you."

Chi Cheng was a regular at this store.

Every time he went to his mother’s grave, he would buy a bouquet of white roses.

"I’ll wrap them for you right away." The shop owner stood up and then noticed this time, Mr. Chi was accompanied by a pretty and adorable young girl.

Their hands were tightly held together.

The shop owner was a bit surprised.

Because as long as she had known Mr. Chi, he always came alone, never with anyone.

Plus, the shop owner was almost twenty years older than Chi Cheng and knew that even though he was always polite and had a gentle smile,

every time he bought flowers, there was always a lingering dark cloud in his expression.

But this time... it seemed like there was something different about Mr. Chi.

It felt as if he had finally let go of something.

The shop owner expertly wrapped the roses, and with a teasing look, asked Chi Cheng, "Mr. Chi has a girlfriend now?"

Chi Cheng glanced at the girl beside him, gently tousling her hair with a smile, "Yes."

Ah, it seemed like brother was quite familiar with this shop owner.

An Ran quickly spoke up, "Hello."

The shop owner handed over the flowers, smiling, "You two look great together."

For the first time, as a brother’s girlfriend, receiving such a comment from an outsider.

An Ran felt unprecedentedly happy.

After politely thanking her, An Ran held the flowers, and Chi Cheng opened the door for her to let her go out first, then followed behind.

In the past, once Chi Cheng bought the flowers, he would leave alone.

Now, looking at them, the two of them seemed so well-matched.

-

It was already evening when they returned from the outskirts.

Chi Cheng had laid everything out clearly in front of his mother’s grave.

All the truths were revealed, everything had settled.

Lin Wanqing and Lin Chun received the punishment they deserved.

His heart’s burdens were completely resolved, but unfortunately... people cannot come back to life.

On the way back, Chi Cheng’s eyes were fixed on the road, his expression showing no emotional fluctuations.

Brother actually... must still be feeling sad inside, right?

An Ran suddenly grasped his large hand that was resting on the gear shift, without saying a word.

Seeing the young girl’s serious expression, it actually made Chi Cheng laugh.

He knew what An Ran wanted to convey.

Chi Cheng held her hand in return, brought it to his lips, and gave it a light peck, "What do you want for dinner?"

"I want to go home."

Back to the Chi Mansion.

Because it had really been a long time since she had stayed at home with her brother, enjoying that blissful time.

"Okay." Chi Cheng agreed with her, "Let’s go home."

Just as they drove into the city, Father Chi’s call came through.

An’s mother was able to speak now!

Although her speech hadn’t yet returned to its fluent pace from before, it was already a significant breakthrough.

An Ran was really happy, and if it weren’t for her brother still driving, she would’ve jumped into his arms for a big hug!

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

The two didn’t return to the Chi Mansion but instead turned around and headed back to the hospital.

When they reached the floor where her mom was staying, the elevator doors just opened, and they were greeted by a familiar figure.
