Lu Tiance had no intention of bringing up the past unless Rong Rong mentioned it first.

In truth, he did remember Rong Rong from their first meeting in the country, but he pretended not to recognize her. Lu Tiance decided not to mention it unless Rong Rong brought it up.

Two years ago, he had been on a mission in Epea.

After successfully completing the assignment, his return flight was scheduled for the following day. That evening, in high spirits, he decided to treat himself to a meal at a nice restaurant recommended by a friend.

However, midway through dinner, a commotion erupted in the restaurant.

A young lady suddenly fainted and collapsed on the ground, frothing at her mouth.

The restaurant staff promptly called the emergency number, but due to the heavy rain that day, the ambulance got stuck halfway to the location. The young girl's life was in immediate danger.

A bunch of people surrounded the girl and chatted among themselves, but no one bothered to save her.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Tiance swiftly took off his jacket and wrapped it around the young girl. He then lifted her up and dashed through the rain, making his way to the nearest hospital. The doctor later revealed that if they had arrived any later, she would not have survived.

The results revealed that the young lady suffered from vertiginous epilepsy.

After paying the medical bills for her, Lu Tiance received an order to return to his country earlier than planned.

Thus, he left in a hurry without even getting the chance to say goodbye to the young lady.

He didn't leave any information behind, so she wasn't able to find him.

Nevertheless, she remembered he had tanned skin and looked solemn.

For some people, even though you had known them for decades, you might not have been able to recall their appearance when you closed your eyes. But for some people, even with just a brief glance, you could never forget them.

Rong Rong remembered the face of the person who saved her.

She gave up on completing her studies overseas, instead returning to the country earlier, eager to meet him again and personally express her gratitude.

Due to his skin tone, Rong Rong presumed he would be residing or working in the highlands.

The highlands was where she went at first, but she failed to find him.

She then went to Livingsfill, where she met Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan.

Among a sea of people, it was impossible to find someone whose name she didn't even know.

Back then, she had no idea that Lu Jingyuan was the younger sister of her savior.

Fate was amazing. They had been so close yet so far.

Today, she came here to visit Ning Ran and the kids, but she had no idea she'd run into Lu Tiance again.

At a glance, she instantly recognized him, with not a bit of doubt in her.

Rong Rong glanced at Lu Tiance again before chuckling softly.

Lu Tiance didn't look at her, but his expression had softened. He was glad fate had brought them together again.

“How are you doing?” Lu Tiance asked.

“I've been diagnosed with vertiginous epilepsy since I was young. With ongoing treatment, I rarely fall sick nowadays. However, I tend to avoid socializing, fearing that I might scare others. The illness can strike at any time, and I never know when it will happen. While in Epea, I thought I was fine since my last attack was over a year ago, so I decided to take a walk. Little did I know that I would suffer an attack. Thankfully, you were there to help me. Otherwise, I might not have made it. Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Tiance nodded slightly. “Have you recovered now?”

Rong Rong shook her head helplessly. “I haven't had an attack since that day, but I have no idea when the next attack will be. The doctor said I have recovered, but I cannot stop taking the medicine. However, taking medicine too long will cause side effects, so I have to take the medicine for some time and stop for some time. Don't worry, though. I've already gotten used to it. If I collapse one day and die, I don't mind, but I don't want to trouble others. That's why I don't live with my family.”

Rong Rong sounded jovial and didn't seem sad.

Because of her illness, she chose to live in the moment.

Lu Tiance turned to look at her, his gaze firm and filled with warmth. “You're a normal person, so don't dwell too much on it,” he reassured her.

Rong Rong grinned. “Thank you, Mr. Lu. I think the same way, too.”

“You don't have to address me as 'Mr. Lu'. I can't get used to it.”

Rong Rong pondered over it. “Well, since you're Jingyuan's brother, I shall call you Mr. Tiance. Is that okay?”

She quickly corrected herself. “Wait, that makes you sound old. Will Tiance do?”

Lu Tiance was fine with anything. “Anything works.”

He knew he was at least ten years older than Rong Rong.

“Tiance, I haven't felt this happy in ages. If you're not busy, could I treat you to a meal as a way to express my gratitude?” Rong Rong asked timidly.

“No need for that. I was simply doing what I should have done by taking you to the hospital. We're from the same country, so if I encountered anyone else in a similar situation, I'd do the same,” Lu Tiance replied.

“Oh,” Rong Rong responded weakly, looking disappointed.

“Thank you, though. After reviewing the surveillance footage at home, I realized how frightening my condition was during the attack. Yet, you weren't fazed at all. You truly are a kind-hearted person, and I'll keep you in my prayers, wishing for a lifetime of peace and safety for you.” Rong Rong spoke sincerely, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.

At a glance, she instantly recognized him, with not a bit of doubt in her.

She didn't tell Lu Tiance that she had been looking for him.

She didn't tell Lu Tiance that she had been looking for him.

She was glad that her efforts hadn't gone to waste and that she finally got to express her gratitude in person. That was enough.

At that moment, Lu Tiance's phone rang. He answered the call and mostly listened to the person on the other end, speaking very little. In the end, he simply responded with “Got it” and “Understood.”

Turning to Rong Rong, he said, “My meeting has been canceled, so we can have supper together. However, aren't you worried about gaining weight if you have supper?”

Rong Rong's eyes lit up. “Really? Are you willing to eat dinner with me?”

Lu Tiance sternly corrected, “It's supper, not dinner.”

What a rigid person. Is there really a need to differentiate between supper and dinner?

“What do you want to eat? It's on me!” Rong Rong said cheerfully.

Lu Tiance pondered briefly before answering, “Barbecued meat!”

Rong Rong was stunned to hear that. Did he ponder that long before deciding to eat barbecued meat? We're in Horington, an international city. Even though it's late, many delicious restaurants are still open for business. Isn't barbecued meat too simple a meal?

Lu Tiance continued, “Make sure to find a restaurant with generous portions. And don't choose any high-end places; we're not permitted to go there.”

Rong Rong nodded. “Okay. Generous portions but not high-end restaurants. Let me think about it.”

Despite racking her brains, she couldn't think of such a place.

She had to ask her friends for help by texting their group chat: Does anyone know of a place where we can get generous portions of barbecued meat without it being too expensive?

Her friends were surprised to learn that she wanted to eat at an inexpensive place. Has Prosperity Holdings gone bankrupt? No, they are still operational. Although they were caught up in some rumors

recently, their share prices have stabilized lately. Besides, they are still financially well-off. Even if Prosperity Holdings isn't doing so great, she doesn't need to worry about affording an expensive supper.

Nevertheless, they asked around and finally found a secluded little restaurant for her.

The name of the restaurant was simple: “Delilah's Grill.”

After getting off the car, Lu Tiance glanced at the name and broke into a smile.

Horington is a great place. I can't believe she found a place with generous portions but isn't expensive. This is perfect.
