I went to the private kitchen downstairs, ordered a bowl of shredded chicken congee with dried scallops, took a sip and found that I seemed to not like it anymore.

Maybe it's not the fault of the cook, but the heart of the eater is not right.

I took a sip and put it down. When I checked out, the boss looked at the full bowl of congee, also puzzled.

"Is it not delicious?"

The man looked at the bowl of congee in doubt, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"It's not that it's not delicious, I just don't have an appetite."

"There are no customers without appetite, only cooks who can't cook well."

He insisted on giving me a free meal, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

As I left, he brought out a few lilies for me.

"I can see you're not feeling too good, so I'm giving you these flowers. Lilies clear the mind, as Zhen Huan said, they're authentic."

Looking at the flowers being handed to me, I didn't expect to be a super fan of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

I took the flowers back to the rented room. My younger sister went back to deal with things and will be back in two or three days.

"Yuwang."

Looking at Gu Xing'an waiting at the door, I really didn't know how he found this place. My hand holding the flowers was trembling slightly, remembering the suffocating feeling that day.

"I was wrong, come back with me, let's start over."

Gu Xing'an forcefully grabbed my shoulder. I didn't know how the once gentle person had turned into what he is now - irritable, sullen, violent, and frightening.

I remembered Qin Xuan telling me last time, not to confront him head-on, not to provoke him when meeting him alone again.

"Gu Xing'an, what about that girl?"

"I'll take care of it. When I'm done, will you come back home with me?"

"Go ahead."

Whether it was the pain in my shoulder or the fear in my heart, my hand was shaking as I inserted the key many times before opening the door.

As soon as he left, I contacted Qin Xuan, hoping to stay at her place for a night as I was afraid to be alone.

Qin Xuan arrived quickly, packed up my things, and took me back to her empty house.

"Thank you."

"No need, we're kind of friends. Just stay in peace, and let's work on getting a successful divorce."

Gu Xing'an started to frequently send me messages with a strange number.

"Xia Yuwan, you lied to me."

"Come back, I'll fix everything, and we'll start over."

"We'll have a child."

"Everything will be fine."

I don't know why he's insisting like this. What's the point of persisting in a marriage like ours.

Human emotions are really strange. In the past, I loved Gu Xing'an to death.

Now, it seems like I don't love him at all.

Occasionally thinking of him, there's no wave in my heart.

Maybe the heart died in an instant.

All of a sudden, I feel like I should let it go.

Qin Xuan applied for property preservation in court, as well as an evidence retrieval application and an online inquiry and control application.

She said it's very useful, but I, an outsider, don't understand.

I thought my second sister was the most unstable time bomb, but it turns out that my younger sister exploded first.

When I saw the message from my second sister, I was eating at the private kitchen.

"The younger sister went to find that bastard Gu Xing'an."

I put down the half-drunk catfish and tofu soup, quickly paid the bill, and left in a hurry.

"What happened?"

"It's urgent."

"If you've drunk half, we'll only charge you half."

This boss is really strange. I ordered one, but he insisted on calculating based on how much I drank.

Looking at the boss with a headscarf, I was a little puzzled. Can he make money like this?

"Do you need a ride?"

The boss raised his nice eyebrows, his eyes like hooks.

"No, thanks."

Dealing with the ex-husband in public is really not a glorious thing.
