For his birthday, I bought everything in advance a few days ago, and I even specially bought a bottle of red wine.

Thinking that Guan Mo used to create little surprises for me, I should also give him some romance.

But now, the joy I had two days ago when I bought things is gone.

I'm not in a good mood, and Guan Mo has been acting somewhat cautious.

The birthday gift I prepared is a watch.

After he opened the box, there was a look of surprise in his eyes. "Huanhuan, you still remember?"

Yes, I still remember.

Back then, he wouldn't even buy himself an 8,000 yuan watch.

But he gave me a 30,000 yuan bag on my birthday.

His kindness towards me is real.

That's why it's hard to let go.

He went to the bathroom halfway through, and his phone on the table rang.

The screen showed a message: [Guan Mo, I seem to be lost. I don't know where this is. Can you please pick me up?] Signed Xuexi.

Guan Mo came out, smiling happily.

He put on the watch and showed it to me. "Huanhuan, I really like it. Thank you for remembering."

As he said that, he came over and kissed me on the face.

But I just lightly pointed at his phone and said, "You have a message."

He picked it up and glanced at it, his brows slightly furrowing.

After a moment of thought, he looked up at me. "Huanhuan, I might need to go out for a bit."

I closed my eyes.

As expected, an ex is a weapon that harms the current, whether they're dead or not.

He hesitated but explained truthfully, "Tang Xuexi just arrived in this city. She's unfamiliar with the place, so I'm going to see her and come back quickly."

He didn't call her Xuexi anymore; he used her full name.

Almost the instant he finished speaking, I couldn't wait any longer and said, "Can you not go?"

I was afraid that even one second later, I wouldn't be able to say anything to salvage the situation.

This is my last chance for us.

You said you wouldn't contact her. Can you really do it?

Clearly, he couldn't.

He stood up and came over, squatting in front of me. "Huanhuan, there's really nothing between me and her. Don't overthink it. Even if it were any other friend, I would help."

Guan Mo has never been someone who's weak when it comes to boundaries.

After all, he would get jealous if I got close to other guys.

If any other girl tried to approach him, he would keep a safe distance.

Doesn't Tang Xuexi know you're married?

In this era of advanced communication, does she have to rely on someone else's boyfriend when she gets lost?

It's just a matter of whether she wants to expose it or not.

Now she deliberately approached, and you didn't push her away.

I think this is your choice.

I used to think that I had found a slow-cooked porridge in the fast food era.

Now it seems more like an illusion.

I weakly nodded, then forced out a bitter smile. "I believe you."
