Fang was right in front of the Chen family mansion’s door, wringing her hands together. Gentle warmth stroked her hair, but she had a heavy heart.
That day has come – the day she was never really prepared for judgement day she knew would one day come. Looking at her parents Chang Chen, Daiyu and her younger brother Hao Yu standing together to wish her goodbye made her eyes misty with unwept tears.
“Fang…” Fang's mother Daiyu quietly said, walking several steps forward. She sounded choked, she stopped and scolded herself before sweeping Fang in a hug. “Take care of yourself my daughter. Never forget that wherever you are you have us behind you.” Fang tried to say yes and bow her head on her mother’s shoulder capturing jasmine scent "I will mama, I will come back there as often as I can." Fang said and wispered back to her mother. Her father Chang Chen who was as still as an emotionless wall. He lightly held her shoulder, with either satisfaction or sorrow in his eyes. “You have turned into such a pretty lady, Fang.
We understand and appreciate that Aleksandr will be concerned for your wellbeing, but do not forget where you came from.”
Her brother Haoyu, standing a few steps away, tried to mask his emotions with a stoic expression. But Fang knew him too well — his eyes betrayed the sadness he felt at seeing his older sister leave.
"Don’t worry, Jie," he said, his voice low. "I’ll take care of things here. You just enjoy your new life."Fang smiled through her tears and reached out to ruffle his hair, just as she used to when they were children. "I know you will, Haoyu."The bittersweet moment stretched out, each second feeling both fleeting and eternal.
Finally, Fang took a deep breath and stepped back, her hands trembling slightly. She gave one last look at her family, her heart swelling with love and a touch of sorrow.Waiting by the sleek, black car parked at the end of the driveway, Aleksandr stood tall, his gaze fixed on her. His features softened as their eyes met, offering her the strength and comfort she needed in that moment. He held the car door open, his hand outstretched, inviting her into this new chapter of their lives together.With a final, tearful glance at her family, Fang turned and walked towards Aleksandr.
