Chapter 1 - The Forgotten Promise

9 am. Yuexin was sitting at the table eating breakfast. Today is the last day of the year. So there are a lot of things left to do. Yuexin was making a list of everything one by one while eating breakfast.

Just then, Weisheng came and sat next to her. Seeing Yuexin working with food in front of her, Weisheng took the notebook from her—the one she was writing everything in.

"What happened?" Yuexin looked at Weisheng and asked.

"You don't have to work, When the food is in front of you. You'll have plenty of time to work. Eat breakfast first."

"But what if I forget later?" Yuexin asked worriedly.

"That's why Lina was hired, right! She'll take care of all this."

Lina then brought food to the table for Weisheng. Standing next to Yuexin, she placed the food in front of her and said,

"Mr. Weisheng is right. Eat food without worrying about these things. If you forget then I'll remind you."

"Oh no. You already do a lot of work for me. You always have to follow me around. You have to watch everything from my eating to my sleeping. You don't have to make things worse by doing this."

"Mrs. Yuexin, eat your food. I'll take care of the rest." Lina gave her a warm smile.

Lina pushed the plate of food in front of Yuexin.

"Thank you."

"What's there to say thank you? She gets money every month for this."

Lina looked down at Weisheng's words, upset. Yuexin glared at him.

"What is this, Weisheng? Can money do everything? Lina works hard for me all day long. She helps me even when it's not her job. If you hire someone else, she will never do this things for me."

" Are you going to argue with me for her now? "

" I'm not arguing with you. I'm just correcting your mistake. "

" Did you need to spoil my mood by doing all this in the morning! Now eat your breakfast happily. I'm leaving."

Weisheng got up from the table and went to his room without eating anything. As soon as Weisheng left, Yuexin looked at Lina. She said soothingly,

" Please don't mind what he said. "

" I don't mind. Mr. Weisheng was right. But Mrs. Yuexin, I think it wasn't right to cause trouble between you for me. Mr. Weisheng left without eating. "

" Don't worry. He is a bit of a hot-tempered person. He'll eat it by himself after a while if he gets hungry."

Yuexin started eating breakfast. After putting the first bite of food in her mouth, Yuexin said to Lina,

"Lina, maybe Haoran and Meilin will come today. So tell the chef to cook something good. I don't remember anything. That's why I'm bothering you."

"So your childrens will come today?"

"Maybe."

"Okay. Then I'll tell him and ask anyone to clean their rooms too."

"Yeah, please. I totally forgot about it. Please tell someone to clean their rooms."

Lina smile and left. Yuexin started eating her breakfast.

Weisheng was sitting in the room with a lot of files. Papers were scattered all over the bed. Yuexin entered the room and was surprised to see the situation.

"What have you done to the room?"

"I can't find a file. Do you know where it is?"

"How should I know? Lina keeps everything in the room tidy now."

"That Lina again—" Weisheng said annoyed.

"Why do you treat Lina like this? You brought her to take care of me. So why do you always talk to her in such a irritable mood? She will feel bad. "

" I brought her to take care of you. Who knows what she's taking care of? I don't see any signs of you getting better. "

" It's not her fault. It's my fault. I try so hard, I obey everything, but I can't get better. "

Yuexin said upsetly. Weisheng put down the paper and went to her. He placed his hands on her cheeks and said,

"You will get well soon. Don't worry. I am always by your side."

Yuexin placed her hands on Weisheng's hands and said, "I have come this far because of you. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to me all these days? I feel very lucky to have you."

"Oh, on the contrary, you are my luck. I am so successful today because of you are in my life. If people know me then it's all because of you. Everything that happens in my life is for you."

Weisheng gave Yuexin a small kiss on the lips. Yuexin closed her eyes. Weisheng hugged Yuexin. Yuexin closed her eyes and hugged him, feels his heartbeats.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Yuexin heard the knocking and said to Weisheng.

"Let me go. Someone must be at the door."

"Nah, not now."

Weisheng said while hugging Yuexin.

"But the door isn't closed. It will be embarrassing if anyone sees us hugging like this." Yuexin lies so that Weisheng will let her go.

"Huhh! I'm hugging my wife. What's the point of being embarrassed here?"

"Oh! Let go. Otherwise someone will come inside."

"Let the person come. Right now, at this time, only your Lina will come. No one else."

"Lina? Who is Lina?" Yuexin asks in surprise.

As soon as he hears Yuexin's words, Weisheng lets her go. Yuexin frowns at him.

"Go open the door." Weisheng says softly.

Yuexin opens the door.

As soon as the door opens, Yuxi runs into the room with small steps and hugs Yuexin. Yuexin is surprised to see Yuxi. Sitting down, she pulled away from her, gently smoothing her hair, and asked.

"What is your name baby? Who did you come with?"

Yuxin's smile faded upon hearing Yuexin's words.

"Grandma, don't you recognize me?" Little Yuxi said in a tearful voice.

Yuxin looked at Weisheng. Weisheng let out a sigh and walked over to them. Seeing Weisheng, Yuxi addressed him and said.

"Grandpa, grandma forgot me!" Yuxi started crying.

Seeing Yuxi crying, Weisheng picked her up. He gently wiped her tears and said,

"Aaaaah! Yuxi Baby has really become an fool! She couldn't understand her grandmother's mischief. "

Yuxi's crying stopped.

"Really! Grandma was playing a prank on me?"

"Yes. Isn't that right! Can your grandmother ever forget you? She loves you so much. You are her number one. "

Hearing Weisheng's words, Yuxi looks at Yuexin for confirmation. Yuexin understands everything they said by now.

Even though she doesn't remember anything, she uses her intelligence to talk to Yuxi. She takes Yuxi from Weisheng's lap and puts her in her lap. Then she kisses her cheek and says.

" Yuxi, you've lost. I've made a fool of you. Now you have to give me my gift. First, Give me my gift."

Yuexin closed her eyes and leaned her left cheek towards Yuxi. Yuxi understood what she said and hugged her neck and kissed her.

"Grandma, don't do that again. I don't like these mischiefs at all."

"Okay, okay. I won't do that again."

"Now let's go downstairs. Dad, aunts are all here. Come on."

Yuxi hugged Yuexin and stayed in her arms. Yuexin looked at Weisheng. Both of their faces were sad. Because they knew that no matter how much Yuexin made these promises, she would never be able to fulfill those promises. No matter how hard she tried. She would keep making this mistake over and over again.
