"Boom."
Although Song Qiao had been mentally prepared.
When he heard Xia Yuqing ask him this, his mind buzzed.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
"Speak up, don't worry, no matter the outcome, I can accept it gracefully."
Seeing Song Qiao's prolonged silence, Xia Xueqing.
Anxiously shook his arm, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"I..."
Song Qiao's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't say them.
Once he spoke the truth, it would be too cruel for the current Xia Yuqing.
The Yuqing of now was the Yuqing he least wanted to hurt.
After all, because of his own foolishness in his previous life, he had caused a lifelong regret at this stage.
"Hurry up and say it?"
Xia Yuqing was so anxious she was about to cry.
But in the next second.
Song Qiao suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Then, he kissed Xia Yuqing's lips.
Xia Yuqing, who had been waiting for an answer, was instantly petrified on the spot.
Although she had lost some memories.
She also knew in her heart that the two of them hadn't been this intimate for a long time.
Now that her husband suddenly made such a move.
Her doubts vanished completely.
"Let's go, we'll go to the beach to play. I remember I promised you I'd take you to see the sea, but I never kept my word."
After more than ten minutes.
Song Qiao finally released Xia Yuqing from his embrace and, without further ado, pulled her into the car.
Yang City was a coastal city.
But it was a good four or five hours' drive from the sea for the couple.
However, Song Qiao couldn't bother with that anymore.
He made several phone calls, canceling all his appointments for the day.
He just wanted to spend this wonderful time with Xia Yuqing at the beach.
Although it was possible that Xia Yuqing would slowly regain her memory and realize that they had actually divorced.
But that was for later.
Let the future take care of itself.
What Song Qiao wanted to do now was to ensure that this time would be free of any regrets.
On the road, neither he nor Xia Yuqing spoke.
But the atmosphere in the car was unprecedentedly warm.
To reach their destination as quickly as possible, Song Qiao deliberately increased his speed.
The journey that should have taken four or five hours was completed in less than three hours to reach the seaside.
Although Xia Yuqing had seen the sea before.
This was the first time her husband had accompanied her since they got married.
She was so excited that she cheered and leaped with joy.
She ran barefoot on the beach, her feet kicking up the sand.
From time to time, she would scoop up a handful of seawater and run to Song Qiao for a prank.
The two of them laughed and played non-stop.
It wasn't until noon that they were completely exhausted and lay side by side on the beach, quietly gazing at the sea.
Song Qiao rested his head on his hands, with a can of chilled cola beside him.
Looking at Xia Yuqing, who was lying lazily beside him.
For a moment, he felt an unreal illusion, lost in a daze.
"Husband, why are you spacing out again?"
"Hurry up and put on this sunscreen, or I'll get tanned again."
Xia Yuqing said, stuffing the sunscreen in her hand into Song Qiao's, wanting him to apply it to her himself.
"Alright, alright, with this big sun, we can't let our Yuqing get tanned."
Song Qiao chuckled.
He squeezed some sunscreen into his palm and gently rubbed it onto Xia Yuqing's cheeks and neck.
He applied it with care, and his thoughts drifted back to the past.
He recalled that he had even applied hand cream to Xia Yuqing in the winter.
"Hehe."
Xia Yuqing, taking advantage of his inattention, smeared the sunscreen from his hand onto his face.
"I'll give you a painted face."
"So you don't turn into a charcoal briquette when you get tanned."
Saying that, she suddenly pounced on her husband and meticulously applied it to him.
Her cool little hands moved across Song Qiao's cheeks, making his face turn a little red.
Although they were an old married couple, they hadn't been this intimate for so many years.
Just then, Song Qiao's phone suddenly rang.
"Who is it?"
"Didn't we agree not to discuss business today?"
Song Qiao muttered, reaching for his phone to hang up.
"Hmm?"
"Why is Liu Dong calling at this time?"
Seeing the caller ID, Song Qiao was taken aback.
"Quickly answer it, what if they have something urgent?"
Xia Yuqing, afraid that Song Qiao would be delayed from work because of her, decisively pressed the answer button for him.
"Brother Song, how are you? Are you busy?"
As soon as the call was connected, Liu Dong's somewhat cheerful voice came through.
"Haha, Brother Liu, I'm out on vacation with my wife."
Song Qiao and Xia Yuqing exchanged a glance and replied with a light laugh.
"I have something, you need to come to my place tonight."
Liu Dong was a little curious. Didn't Song Qiao get divorced? Why was he on vacation with his wife now?
But he didn't dare to ask too much and stated his purpose directly.
"Oh? What is it?"
Song Qiao raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.
"You know Jiang Chuan, right? I heard you have a feud with his son, Jiang Yan. He asked me to be the intermediary to invite you to my bar for negotiations."
"Jiang Chuan is quite a character in our Yang City. What do you think..."
"Of course, if you don't have time, I can decline for you."
Liu Dong was meticulous in his work, clearly having thought of all possibilities.
This was also what Song Qiao admired most about him.
Song Qiao pondered for a moment and finally agreed.
He had already enjoyed himself to the fullest with Xia Yuqing today, and he would have enough time to go and see Jiang Chuan.
"Tonight, right?"
"Okay, I'll be there then. I want to see what Jiang Chuan is up to."
"Alright, then we'll see you at eight tonight. I won't disturb your quality time together."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Dong made a teasing remark and hung up the phone cheerfully.
"Is something the matter?"
"Where are you going tonight?"
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice on the phone, Xia Yuqing couldn't help but ask curiously.
"If there's anything important, let's go back quickly. I've had a great time today."
"After all, neither of us can neglect our work."
She thought for a moment and then comforted Song Qiao thoughtfully.
"To Liu Dong's bar, I have a collaboration to discuss."
"But don't worry, it doesn't start until eight in the evening, so we'll have plenty of time to play a bit longer."
Song Qiao chuckled, not telling Xia Yuqing everything, so as not to make her worry again.
"Liu Dong?"
Xia Yuqing's expression stiffened slightly when she heard the familiar name.
