Li Manfu stepped out of prison and saw the long-absent free world, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Dad." Li Xi approached, took his arm, and led him to the car, "Get in the car first."
Li Manfu glanced at the empty car and knew that only Li Xi had come to pick him up, his face couldn't hide the disappointment. Although so many years had passed, he knew his bond with Song Xianying had long been exhausted, yet he still held onto a glimmer of hope—what if she was still willing to see him? Now it seemed he was just wishful thinking.
"What's the matter?" Li Xi looked down and asked.
"Nothing, it's nothing," Li Manfu shook his head, "Just being inside for so many years, suddenly coming out, not quite used to it."
He slowly got into the car, Li Xi closed the door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the vehicle.
The car neared a mid-range residential community close to the city center, where Li Xi parked in the underground garage and took Li Manfu upstairs.
