Two days later, Ning Ran, dressed in white, appeared at the Tianhai Cemetery with fresh flowers and cake.

Today was her mom’s birthday. As such, she had applied a half-day leave from the crew to spend some time with her mom on this special day.

The woman placed the offerings in front of her mom’s tomb and lit a candle on the cake.

“Happy birthday, mom. I’m here to celebrate your birthday with you. You’ve worked so hard for our family your entire life and never had a proper birthday celebration. Sorry, I wasn’t a good daughter. I’ve never thought of planning any celebrations for you before.”

Tears flowed down Ning Ran’s cheeks as she continued to kneel beside the grave.

Her mom was smiling in the picture that was attached to the tomb, as if she was comforting Ning Ran, telling her to not feel sad.

Just then, the woman heard footsteps from behind her.

She was startled. When Ning Ran turned around, she saw a man approaching the her, carrying a bouquet of flowers in his arms.

It was Feng Minsheng. Why is he here?

“Ran, today is aunt’s birthday. I came to pay my respects,” Feng Minsheng said.

Ning Ran was moved by his gesture. She never expected that, apart from herself, there would be someone else in this world who remembered her mother’s birthday.

However, she felt strange that Feng Minsheng would know when her mother’s birthday was.

Sensing Ning Ran’s skepticism, the man explained, “We celebrated aunt’s birthday together once in the past, that’s why I remembered.”

“Really? Why do I have no recollection of that?” Ning Ran grew even more suspicious.

“Yeah, I even had dinner at your place. Aunt prepared lots of yummy dishes,” Feng Minsheng said confidently.

Ning Ran could not remember any of that. In her memory, she had never celebrated her mom’s birthday before, not even once. That was also her greatest regret.

But Feng Minsheng insisted that they had. No matter how hard she tried, she was still not able to remember.

Not that it mattered - Ning Ran was just grateful that Feng Minsheng made the effort to remember her mom’s birthday.

The aversion she had towards him also seemed to have diminished. The man did not appear as irksome to her now.
