After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

A loud bang filled the sky, prompting people within hundreds of meters to all look up simultaneously.

One, two, three large fireworks exploded in sequence, dazzling like shooting stars, illuminating the entire night sky.

"Wow, what's going on tonight? I don't remember receiving any notice."

Amidst his surprise, Li Shihao couldn't help feeling puzzled. This was downtown, and the fireworks were huge and clearly expensive.

Just shooting them up into the sky like this... hadn't there been talks about Edinburgh nearly going bankrupt? When had they become so lavish and wealthy again?

Suddenly, he felt a chill at the back of his neck and instinctively looked back. Several tall and sturdy men, about 1.9 meters high, covered his mouth and grabbed his waist and legs, carrying him away like a big fish and placing him in a van.

From grabbing to placing in the van, it all took less than five seconds.

It was as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times. Everyone around was watching the fireworks in the sky, and no one noticed what was happening here, including Su Wanyu who was still immersed in the shock of the fireworks.

Li Shihao's eyes widened, not having enough time to panic.

Then he suddenly heard a familiar voice in Chinese, "This is not a kidnapping, don't move around, don't scream. Can you do that?"

He nodded repeatedly, seeing that none of the men were wearing masks and that they were all suited up like businessmen, all Chinese, each with an apologetic smile on their face.

Li Shihao immediately relaxed, stopped struggling, and asked in a low voice, "Brothers, why are you taking me like this all of a sudden?"

One young, robust man, who seemed to be the leader, scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "We just wanted you to leave the area, but it seemed too complicated to explain, so carrying you away seemed more straightforward."

"...," Li Shihao was speechless. What the hell kind of excuse was that?

Suddenly, he thought of Su Wanyu. If they wanted him to leave, then she was probably the target.

"Let me go," Li Shihao started struggling again, but in the cramped van, he was just squirming among a bunch of big men.

Shiyu Fang helplessly pulled him to the van window, "Don't talk, just watch. And from now on, stop bothering Yu."

"Yu? Su Wanyu? You know her?"

Li Shihao looked baffled but didn't have time to ask further.

He just saw Su Wanyu staring blankly into the sky, completely unaware that someone had taken his place right beside her.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall and rather sturdy, but the night was dark, and he was facing away from them, so only his silhouette was visible.

"The moonlight and fireworks are beautiful tonight, aren't they?" Lu Liang said softly, placing a hand on Su Wanyu's shoulder.

Su Wanyu was startled, not having time to react and thinking it was Li Shihao's rash action, she raised her hand ready to slap him.

Bang~~

A firework called "Galaxy Brilliance" exploded in the sky, like a galaxy falling from the heavens.

The bridge over this little creek, the best viewing spot, was as brightly lit as if it were daytime.

She saw the person beside her wasn't Li Shihao, but a bastard who had haunted her dreams.

The raised hand gently fell, and she touched her cheek and then pinched it, murmuring softly, "Is this a dream?"

Lu Liang smiled, turned his head to kiss her palm, and held it in his own, "Can dreams be this real?"

Su Wanyu fell silent, staring straight at Lu Liang, as if even the starry fireworks could not compare to the man before her.

Her eyes, bright as stars, gradually became misty. Lu Liang quickly hugged her, coaxing her, "Don't pull this move; I'm scared."

Su Wanyu laughed through her tears but couldn't help choking up, "In this world, there's something you're afraid of?"

"Yes!" Lu Liang said sincerely, softly, "I'm afraid you won't come back, I'm afraid our child won't recognize his dad."

Su Wanyu bit her lip, tears that had just dried re-formed in her eyes.

Lu Liang wrapped his arms around her waist, looking forward to change the subject, "Beautiful, isn't it? I prepared it especially for you."

Su Wanyu nodded vigorously, sweeping away half a year's gloom with a sweet, charming smile returning to her face.

Firework after firework launched in perfect order.

The entire fireworks show lasted over forty minutes, filling the skies above Edinburgh with clouds of white smoke.

Not until the remote launch site sparkled with red and blue lights did the grand fireworks display come to an end.

Su Wanyu looked dazedly, "Those are police cars, right?"

"Should be," Lu Liang said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders, "Let's go, the gas is harmful, don't wait for it to drift over."

In the heart of Edinburgh's city center, it's not so easy to get a foreigner to finance a fireworks display.

It just so happened that a few homeless people found some fireworks shipped over from East Country. They felt like having some fun, and it just so happened that public officers from the fire department, environmental protection, and other departments were all in a meeting discussing, and the 200,000 British Pounds donated by kind-hearted people, so they couldn't respond in time.

Everything was just so coincidental.

Su Wanyu was about to leave when she suddenly remembered Li Shihao, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is Li?"

"Where is he?" Lu Liang smiled, asking as well.

Su Wanyu was puzzled, how would she know where he had gone?

Suddenly, the van's door opened and Fang Shiyu got out, scratching his head and smiling goofily, "Yu, long time no see, Mr. Li left a while ago."

When Li Shihao saw his cousin hugging Yu, he quietly opened another car door and left.

He was also uninterested in Lu Liang's identity.

Liking someone, as long as she was happy, that was enough.

A person capable of arranging a fireworks show for her in the city, one could tell without thinking that he was very capable.

"Shiyu, long time no see."

Su Wanyu waved and didn't ask further, holding Lu Liang's hand with much joy and heading to her apartment.

Walking on the road, she suddenly asked, "When did you actually find out? And weren't you supposed to have gone back to the country? And that person in the library this afternoon, was that you?"

She had been swept away by happiness and hadn't thought about anything, but after walking a little while, she suddenly calmed down.

"Guess?" Lu Liang said with a smile.

"Hmph~ I don't want to guess anymore."

Su Wanyu tilted her head, in total little girl mode.

She seemed still to be mad at Lu Liang, but their fingers were intertwined tightly, not willing to let go even for a moment.

Unable to hold back his chuckle, Lu Liang patted his puffed cheek back in place, "Should we go sit at your place, or at a hotel?"

"How did you know we're home?" Su Wanyu pouted, looking at a doorplate less than five meters away, "Let's go to your place."

"I'm not living alone, there's also a Chinese girl living there; her name is..." she started, then suddenly turned to Lu Liang.

"What's her name?" Lu Liang asked knowingly.

"Her name is Zheng Xiaoxuan, she's been very kind to me. When I first arrived, she was a huge help, and she even agreed to be the godmother to the baby."

"From what you say, she seems like a nice person."

"Mhm, a really nice girl."

Just as they entered the hotel, Su Wanyu's phone rang. Zheng Xiaoxuan asked excitedly, "Yu, was there just a big fireworks show? I went to Livingston with my stepmother and only caught the tail end, what a pity..."

Her mouth was like a machine gun, Su Wanyu hadn't said a word, and she just kept talking non-stop.

"Invite her over, let's all have dinner together."

A smile tugged at Lu Liang's lips, and though he was far, Zheng Xiaoxuan still heard him, she asked, "Who? Who was that talking just now?"

"Xiaoxuan, we're in the next room at Alison's. Can you come over soon, and call me when you arrive?" Su Wanyu said.

"We?" Zheng Xiaoxuan's tone was not pleasant, hurrying along, "Wait for me, I'll be there in five minutes."

After speaking, the phone went to a busy tone.

Su Wanyu couldn't help but laugh and quickly explained, "She's always been like this, very straightforward and impulsive."

"It's good to have such a friend in a foreign land," Lu Liang smiled. He didn't reveal the fact that she was the same sex.

According to Zhuo Yifan's investigative report, while Zheng Xiaoxuan was of the same sex, her help toward Su Wanyu was genuine.

If it hadn't been for Zheng Xiaoxuan, Su Wanyu might have been depressed, especially with being pregnant while studying abroad.

Any normal person might think she was either living an undisciplined life or trying to automatically obtain residency status.

Regardless of which type of speculation, it was extremely unfriendly to a girl.
