After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
They reached the Tang residence.
Sun Lan had already prepared a full feast, and Tang Shan was waiting by the doorstep. When they saw the two of them, they quickly welcomed them in.
Compared to the awkward atmosphere last time, it was much better this time around. Although they were still pretty courteous and distant, it was not cold at all.
"Xiao Xi's here. Come in quickly! I'm really sorry. You left the last time before I could make you stay for dinner!"
"That's alright. It's just a piece of cake. Do you need help?"
"No need at all. Just sit around and wait for dinner. There's still the soup left to prepare, but it'll be ready soon!"
…
After a while, the family of four reunited together at the dinner table.
Sun Lan looked at Ning Xi, feeling a little awkward. "Such drastic changes! I almost can't recognize you anymore…"
Tang Shan nodded in agreement. "Xiao Xi, you've become prettier!"
