The person approaching had a graceful figure, exquisite makeup, and a dazzling charm.
“lan,” Cathy softly called his name, her eyes filled with affection.
Ian looked at her for a moment, responding with a faint acknowledgment.
“Are you leaving?” Cathy asked, craning her neck to look inside.
“It’s rare that everyone is here. Stay a little longer,” she suggested.
Ian showed little interest. “No, you guys enjoy yourselves.”
A visible disappointment appeared on Cathy’s face, and her fingers curled up silently.
Behind her, Robert’s dissatisfied voice came: “Ian, come on. Our Princess Cathy rarely has time; don’t spoil her
mood.”
In Robert’s heart, Cathy was a princess.
“Yeah, I’ve been rushing to finish several jobs recently. I’m almost exhausted,” Cathy chimed in, her voice sounding pitiful.
She didn’t forget to use her delicate fingers to massage her shoulders, looking genuinely fatigued.
In the past, Ian would have cared for her and put her first, even if it meant setting aside important matters.
However, this time, he showed no reaction at all.
He still maintained that indifferent expression.
A look of puzzlement appeared in Cathy’s eyes.
He had previously expressed publicly that he would protect her for a lifetime. During these days, she had expected him to contact her proactively, just like before, acting as her guardian and taking care of her.
However, he had disappeared without a trace, not even calling her once!
Cathy had initially felt relieved when she learned that he had divorced Sherry, thinking that her spring had finally arrived. But at this moment, she felt inexplicably anxious.
He didn’t respond to Cathy, nor did he turn around and go back. He simply continued walking forward.
Cathy’s heart sank to the bottom, and tears almost burst out.
She hurried a few steps and caught up with Ian in the corridor.
“Ian! I miss you!”

She ran up and hugged lan tightly from behind, resting her head on his back.
Ian stopped in his tracks.
His back tensed.
But he didn’t turn around.
Cathy hugged him even tighter. “Ian, in these four years apart, I’ve thought of you every single day. Let’s… start over, okay?”
Ian learned about the gala from Robert, who also said in the message, “Some things won’t come to fruition if you
don’t reveal them.”
Cathy was a person with high self–esteem, especially since Ian had pampered her like a jewel since she was in her teens, and she had Robert as a henchman at her service.
Her sense of superiority was extremely strong, to the point of looking down on others.
Even after seeing Robert’s reminder, she still had no intention of proactively lifting the veil.
But Ian’s indifferent attitude just now frightened her.
Only then did she realize that if she didn’t take the initiative, even with Ian’s divorce, she might still lose him.
Tears welled up in Cathy’s eyes as she stood behind Ian and said, “Even if you’re angry, punishing me by being away for four years is enough.”
Outwardly, she appeared bright and charming–a graceful goddess.
But now, facing Ian, she looked pitiful and softly cried.
It was the kind of sob that could tug at anyone’s heartstrings.
Ian gently pulled her hand away and faced her.
Cathy’s eyes brightened, thinking that he would hug her.
However, he only lightly placed his hand on her shoulder.
“If you have time, accompany me somewhere tomorrow,” he said.
Cathy looked at him, and her heart seemed to stop for a moment.
He didn’t immediately accept her confession!
She had already put away her pride, even sacrificing her face, and taken the initiative to make up with him.
Cathy remembered too well the affection and indulgence Ian had once shown her. She had thought that when she reached this point, he would be excited and happy, immediately agreeing.

The huge gap between her expectations and reality left her stunned for a while, and the tears that had welled up in her eyes could no longer fall.
She just stared at him in a daze.
Ian didn’t force her, and she was about to leave.
Cathy became anxious and quickly grabbed his arm. “If you have time, wherever you want to go, I’ll accompany you!”
At least he didn’t reject her, right?
No rejection meant there was still hope.
Over the years, Cathy has experienced a lot and finally understood that in this world, there was no man like Ian, who was not only outstanding but loved her to the core.
Sherry’s perspective
Today, I went to the river pond with Iris for a live stream.
This river pond was located to the northeast of Ceres Village and had been idle because the owner had gone out for work. Worried that the pond might become desolate, the owner asked Arthur to take care of it.
Arthur had raised some fish and planted lotus flowers in the pond.
At this time, it was the season when the lotus flowers were in full bloom.
The lotus flowers that Arthur planted were not as diverse as those found in professional gardens outside; they were all white in color. However, each blossom was exceptionally large, held up by thick stems, and the entire pond was filled with a snowy white scene.
The lotus flowers exuded the temperament of rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, a sight that captivated everyone’s attention.
I stood elegantly in the boat, wearing a long dress. Dad was responsible for rowing the boat, and Iris was busy creating a lively atmosphere.
As the boat sailed along, the wind blew gently, making the corners of my skirt flutter gracefully. I casually played with the white lotus beside me using my slender fingers, and my hair floated in mid–air. At that moment, I felt as if I were a fairy strolling in the clouds.
Looking at the live stream room, I could see all kinds of exclamations and screams from the fans. They were praising my ethereal aura, Iris’s cuteness, and Dad’s calm temperament.
Thinking back to the local folk songs that Dad used to sing to me when I was a child, my heart was stirred, and I couldn’t help but start singing.
My voice came out particularly crisp and sweet, just like that of a nightingale. I also cleverly added some local flavor to the song. In an instant, the entire live stream room seemed to boil over, as if it was going to explode!

“Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful person, and such a beautiful voice! Oh my, even TV dramas can’t be this good–looking!”
“I’m going to faint; I can’t take it anymore.”
“I want to die in this voice.”
“Can I die in the arms of the Thousand Faced Fox?”
“The Little Fox is here; no foul language allowed!”
Dad, who was usually quite shy, couldn’t hold himself back when he heard me singing that folk song he used to sing to me. He started singing along too.
Iris hadn’t learned how to sing yet, but that didn’t worry her at all. She just danced and made all sorts of adorable movements on the boat, keeping in time with our singing.
“Oh my, I’m being warmed up by the Fox family.”
“I didn’t expect even Fox Dad to be such a great singer.”
“Little Fox, baby, be careful not to jump into the water!”
With all these praises and kind reminders from everyone, the screen was filled with such a warm and pleasant
atmosphere.
Before long, the live streaming room was filled with nearly eight million viewers, and the number just kept on
soaring!
Later, I didn’t know what was going on at the other end of the computer screen. But I surely didn’t expect that there was a gentle and tender face with slightly pursed lips.
It was William, and his gaze was fixed on the screen, watching my figure that probably looked like a fairy in the
video.
After singing and dancing, the three of us finally ended the live stream.
Arthur brought the boat ashore and carried Iris off the boat.
Iris held a large net bag in her arms, filled with fish that Arthur had caught.
The plump and tender fish kept sliding inside the net bag, making Iris’s clothes wet and dirty.
She didn’t mind at all and held the bag tightly.
Her little face was smiling like a rising sun, constantly talking to the fish, “Don’t make trouble; the obedient ones won’t be steamed by Grandpa.“.
I asked Iris and Dad to go home first, and then I made my way to the express delivery point in town. I wanted to send some fresh lotus roots and the agricultural products that Dad had grown to Fredrica.

Chapter 62.
After carefully sending off the package, I started to walk back slowly.
I was strolling along the village road when suddenly, out of nowhere, a motorcycle came roaring towards me. The person on the bike had such a fierce look on their face, and there was this terrifying murderous intent in their eyes. They seemed to be aiming straight for me, as if they wanted to crash right into me!
