Li Manrui hung up the phone, sat alone in the living room and was stunned for a while, looked down at the phone, Mike didn't know if it was intentional or coincidental, and sent a message saying that he would not come back tonight.

It has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and she still deeply remembers Lin Musen standing at the entrance of the airport, repeatedly confirming with her that she would not return to China, when she gritted her teeth to control her thoughts about the child, and stubbornly insisted that she would stay.

In order to pursue the so-called self-worth, the pursuit of the dream of the United States that makes many people hit their heads and bleed. Li Manrui looked at the huge living room faintly, the wood-colored floor reflected the light of the room, warm but unreal.

With his hands on the wheel, Lin Zitan walked through the intricate variety of one-way streets in downtown and the Midtown Queens Tunnel before finally turning onto Interstate 495 to Long Island.

The early summer wind blew through the slightly open gap in the car window, blowing Lin Zitan's broken hair, slightly curling up his thoughts again and again, and then abandoning it, he didn't know how to accurately describe and define his father Lin Musen.

The Lin Musen I saw today is a little more human than every time I saw him when I was a child, more like a traditional man with rough and deep fatherly love, and I can't find the careless look of ignoring his son back then.

"Is it because I've grown up?" Lin Zi twitched the corners of his mouth, and a trace of mockery disappeared again with another breeze pouring in.

.......

The car finally stopped in the driveway outside the villa, Lin Zitan raised his hand and glanced at the time, it was already 11 o'clock, but the lights in the living room were as bright as day, he knew that Li Manrui must still be waiting for him in the living room.

"Dida~" When the gate was opened from the outside by Lin Zitan, Li Manrui hurriedly put down the red wine glass in his hand, looked towards the gate, and waited for so long, and finally saw his tall and handsome son walking in with a tall and handsome posture.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Lin Zitan saw Li Manrui with starry eyes as soon as he came in, for this maternal love, it has slowly become a helpless habit for him in the past few years of refusal and welcome, and he also found that

A little care that he occasionally gives back can make Li Manrui moved, maybe this is a kind of belief that people support each other! He is Li Manrui's support, and Li Manrui has gradually become his dependence.

In this lonely and cold city, it is a great happiness to have someone to support and rely on, and to be able to gather for warmth! Especially after both of them have personally felt the loneliness and pain of wandering alone!

"I can't sleep a little, are you hungry, do you want me to prepare some supper for you?" Li Manrui did not rush to ask Lin Musen about Lin Musen from Lin Zitan, but pretended to be calm and concerned as usual.

"No, I'll just have a glass of milk for myself, what about Mike?" Lin Zitan threw his car keys into the drawer on the shoe cabinet and walked towards the refrigerator at the outermost point of the open kitchen.

"He had something to do tonight and didn't come back. Li Manrui's tone was indescribably calm and natural, as if she had long been accustomed to Mike's husband and wife mode of making a report and not returning all night.

"He actively helped arrange accommodation some time ago, and I thought he would be looking forward to meeting Lin Musen!" Lin Zitan took a glass, poured himself a full glass of milk, sat down on the bar, and said lightly at the corner of his mouth.

"He... It's just blind and nervous!" Li Manrui threw the red wine glass in her hand into the kitchen sink, turned on the water and washed it gently, and there was no special emotion in her voice.

"Did Lin Musen say how long he would stay here?" Hanging the glass on the cabinet and placing it, Li Manrui finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's only two weeks! The ticket is the 17th to return. Lin Zi drank the milk from the cup, put the cup back on the bar, and made a crunchy sound with a ding~.

"He... Do you have.. ”

"He says he wants you to arrange a time to meet with him, but it's up to you to see him or not. Lin Zitan intercepted what Li Manrui wanted to ask, and said Lin Musen's proposal to meet.

"Okay, let's see him, and then you can arrange for them to come to the store for dinner~ I don't want to go to see him alone. After Li Manrui finished speaking, she picked up the cup that Lin Zitan had put on the bar and received it into the pool.

Turn on the faucet and wash silently until Lin Zi got up and went back to the room, and never said anything more.

......

Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, Lin Musen and his entourage had been in New York for more than a week, Lin Zitan personally accompanied him when he had time, and arranged an assistant to accompany him if he didn't have time, and took them to visit all the major attractions in New York for a week.

From Times Square to Central Park, from Pier 17 to the Statue of Liberty, from the Metropolitan Museum to the Empire State Building.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, after Lin Zitan received Li Manrui's instructions, he finally took the three of them to her restaurant on Long Island.

When people arrived, only the foreigner manager Hailey was there at the front desk, and the guests only had one or two tables on the iron plate.

Seeing Lin Zitan, Hailey gave him a hug very warmly, and then looked at Lin Musen, who was very similar to Lin Zitan, with a curious face.

Lin Zitan hurriedly introduced a few people, and just after the introduction, he saw Li Manrui coming out of the back kitchen, with light steps and a graceful posture, and today he specially changed out of his restaurant shoes and wore a pair of black mid-heeled shoes.

A Chinese-style modified cheongsam, sky blue brocade, lined with her pale skin, showing the charm and style of a mature woman in her forties.

"Well, this is ... A companion behind Lin Musen saw Li Manrui and immediately spoke.

"Mom, my dad and they're here, I'll take it to the seat over there first!" Lin Zitan looked at Lin Musen's slightly out of shape expression, and immediately called Li Manrui vigilantly.

"Hello, please sit inside. Li Manrui's eyes were full of smiles, and there was no strangeness and embarrassment that she hadn't seen for many years.

"You... Lin Musen originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Lin Zitan had already led his two companions to the table position, he had no choice but to smile and follow the crowd inside.

"Marry, do they want to dine here?" asked Manager Hailey, who was following Li Manrui, immediately expertly holding the three menus.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you~" Li Manrui took the menu in her hand and followed Lin Zitan and them to the dining table.

At this time, the two female business stations that were busy with side work elsewhere had quietly approached the bar, and in the morning they felt that the proprietress seemed to be different from usual today, not only dressed differently from usual, but also slightly put on light makeup.

Women in their forties dress up beautifully, which makes them young and beautiful little girls envious and jealous. At this time, seeing Lin Zitan and Lin Musen appear, they finally understood why the proprietress was dressed so charmingly.

"Well, do you think that's the boss's ex-husband?" asked one in a whisper.

"It should be the ex-ex-husband, I heard that Mike is the third boss lady. A smaller voice whispered.

"The figure and appearance of the proprietress are not strange. The first one to speak continued.

"The key is to have means, you see that Mike revolves around the boss lady all day long, how considerate. Another envied.

"Oh, don't you say I forgot, why didn't Mike come today?

"Lisa, go and bring three cups of green tea. The two of them were talking when they heard Hayley come up behind them and say loudly.
