Chapter 1168 - 1165: Light at the End of the Tunnel 6

After a while, she took out her diploma, graduation photos, and some important personal items. Just as she was about to put them in her bag, Wan Donglin pushed the door open and came in.

He hugged her from behind, his voice unbelievably joyful: "Xixi... I can’t believe this moment is real, even in my dreams... Xixi, I love you... From now on, I will never be apart from you again..."

She pushed him away.

He didn’t mind at all, picking up her diploma for a careful look, smiling broadly: "Silly girl, you’ve really graduated from Harvard, wow, time flies, and the graduation photo looks beautiful..."

"..."

"Xixi, is there anything else you missed? Let me help you check..."

Anything missed?

Only missed Huang Dad.

Missed her own promise.

Yet she had no intention of mentioning this to him, nor did she want to divulge Huang Dad’s whereabouts or residence to anyone.

There are some secrets hidden deep in her heart, which even Liu Daqing will never hear about again.

"Xixi, I’ll help you carry this... and this... take them all back... Maybe it will be a long while until we return to Boston..."

He took her diploma, looking at it carefully, with deep regret and deep melancholy—honestly, if time could be rewound, at the moment of her graduation, he definitely would have rushed to her—no matter if the sky was falling, he would have attended her graduation ceremony first.

But time forgives no man.

"Xixi... If there’s anything you need, I can have someone bring it back... Forget it, let’s go..."

She still ignored him, swiftly stuffed things into the bag, and strode out.

Indeed, at the door, vehicles were already waiting.

Speeding along, heading straight for the nearby private airport, where the Wan Family’s private jet was already prepared.

Finally, the plane took off.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Yan Xixi suddenly felt an exhaustion.

For the past half year, her heart felt like a taut string, constantly worried about her identity being exposed, sometimes afraid of living a masked life forever, and now, she was about to escape the life of a masquerader, yet ironically, she felt no relief.

She looked through the window, seeing the blue sky and white clouds gradually rising.

The distance to Boston growing ever greater, the distance to Huang Xiaojue growing ever further—vaguely, it felt like the deepest string hidden in her heart was completely broken...

Originally, she planned to stay and take care of Huang Dad for a lifetime.

Not just because she felt indebted to Huang Xiaojue for saving her life several times.

She once harbored the hope: someday, after Huang Xiaojue fulfilled his mission, he would return, and maybe there would be a day to start anew, just like at the South Country University’s graduation ceremony, he stood below the stage, always smiling like that...

That moment, she once mistook it for eternity.

In a foreign land, hiding to the ends of the earth, never asking about external affairs, even if she can’t achieve greatness, as long as there is quiet companionship, warmth and happiness, it is already enough.

After all, in this world, only he sincerely cared for her, without reservation.

Yet, ultimately, he traveled far away, leaving no trace.

And she, forced by livelihood, had to accept yet another transformation.

Just like the plane gradually rising higher and higher, at thousands of meters high, the distance from him becoming greater and greater, ultimately, destined never to unite.

Her heart shattered as if splitting apart, but the scars within couldn’t be seen, like an earthquake had long since damaged the foundation of skyscrapers, yet on the surface not a crack could be discerned.
