<h4>Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Just Like a Shadow</h4>


    He felt as if the sky was about to copse, and the deep despair and heartache tore him apart, making him wish he were dead.


    How desperately he wished An Ruo would ept him again, how they could be happily together once more.


    Was it possible that he was doomed to have no hope in this life?


    The night was profound; no one could understand the heartache of lovers except for the lovers themselves. Time still passed, and the earth still rotated; neither would stop even for a moment because of someone’s sorrow.


    Dawn soon broke, and because An Ruo had gone to bedte, she also woke upte.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw Kangkang lying by her pillow, staring at her with wide eyes.


    Seeing she was awake, he smiled happily and said, "Mom, you’re finally awake. Waking up and finding you beside me, I felt like I was dreaming."


    An Ruo propped herself up, and Kangkang stood up too. He was already neatly dressed; she had not felt him wake up, it seemed she had been sleeping too deeply.


    "Sweetie, have you had breakfast?" she asked him with a smile.


    "I have. Mom, you really can sleep! I almost couldn’t resist waking you up if you hadn’t woken up soon. But Dad said you went to bedte and were tired, and he told me not to wake you," said Kangkang, tilting his head and smiling.


    An Ruo nced at the clock; it was already ten in the morning. She threw off the covers and got out of bed, first holding the little one’s face and giving him a kiss, then bidding him good morning before hurrying to the bathroom to wash up.


    Kangkang followed her around like a shadow, wherever she went.


    When An Ruo turned around after washing up, she almost bumped him to the floor.


    "Kangkang, what are you doing following Mom?" she asked with augh.


    The little guy just giggled and did not answer.


    An Ruo did not mind him, and let him be.


    However, he did not follow her into the bathroom when she went to change clothes. When she came out in fresh clothes, he took her hand and led her out of the bedroom.


    "Mom, let’s go eat, Grandma Zhou’s cooking is still so delicious."


    "Grandma Zhou?" An Ruo paused for a moment.


    "Yes, Grandma Zhou is here at Dad’s ce. Seeing her made me so happy."


    So Tang Yuchen had asked Aunt Zhou toe back, which was good, his old servant being around him was somewhat reassuring.


    An Ruo and Kangkang went downstairs but did not see Tang Yuchen.


    Aunt Zhou brought the breakfast to the table and chatted with her with a smile.


    Tasting Aunt Zhou’s cooking, An Ruo felt a wave of nostalgia; she had firmly memorized the vor of Aunt Zhou’s dishes.


    Kangkang tilted his head to ask Uncle Tao: "Grandpa Tao, why isn’t Dading down for breakfast?"


    Uncle Tao smiled with squinted eyes, "Young Master is working in the study. Young Master and Miss An, you eat first. He said he’s not hungry and will eatter."


    "Oh," Kangkang nodded his head and began to eat.


    An Ruo, who had not known how to face Tang Yuchen, was actually relieved he did note down, sparing them both the awkwardness.


    After breakfast, she nned to leave for work.


    She said to Kangkang, "Kangkang, Mom is leaving. I’lle to see you another day. You have to be a good boy here, and study well, okay?"


    Kangkang nodded silently; An Ruo knew he was sad about her leaving and hugged him with a smile before turning to leave.


    She had just taken a few steps when Kangkang suddenly ran up and clung tightly to her legs, crying, "Mom, don’t go, please don’t leave!"


    An Ruo froze, hearing her child’s heart-wrenching sobs, and her heart ached deeply as well.
