Of course, Mubai didn't know about this either. He didn't know she was going to leave the country.
That night, he called her to invite her for lunch the day after.
After she rejected him outright, he quickly added, "Lin Lin will be coming as well. He said he misses you a lot."
"Of course, I'll be there," Xinghe agreed the moment Lin Lin's name was brought up.
Xinghe felt she shouldn't deprive Lin Lin of the chance to have a real family meal. She was dying so she didn't want Lin Lin to have this regret.
Mubai was rather ashamed that he had to use his son as leverage but that was quickly overshadowed by happiness when Xinghe said yes.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step; as long as he persevered, he believed that one day, he would be able to get Xinghe to remarry him.
Mubai extensively prepared for their lunch date.
Xinghe on the other hand, treated it like any other day.
