These days I have been restless at home, often starting to lose concentration in the middle of doing things, then being startled awake by Luo Junyu.

"Baby, what's wrong with you? You've been zoning out a lot lately."

"I think I'm just too tired."

My emotional changes cannot escape Luo Junyu's eyes, but I really didn't have the courage to tell him the truth.

"If you're tired, just rest at home for a while and don't go out to work for the time being."

Indeed, these days I have been absent-minded, seldom replying to messages from clients on WeChat.

"I've been dreaming about my sister these days. She says someone is bullying her... I want to go to the cemetery to see her."

"Stop overthinking, in a few days I'll go with you to see her."

I didn't mention this to get him to accompany me to see my sister, but to bring up the topic of my sister and talk about something else.

"Do you have anything else you want to tell me? About my sister..."

At that moment, Mr. Liu's call interrupted me.

I answered the phone and went to the bathroom. The client had arranged to meet me in the afternoon, and I had already declined for various reasons multiple times, but this time I could only agree.

In the afternoon at the appointed coffee shop, I met Mr. Liu again.

I was distracted and he even noticed it.

"Lianlian, have you encountered something recently?"

"Nothing... work hasn't been going very smoothly."

We've been "dating" for over a month, met six times, and according to what Hua Jie requested, I could close this deal. And, considering the impact of Maige's news on my life, I resolutely broke up with him.

"Why? Darling. Is there something wrong with me?"

"It's not your fault. It's that I haven't handled my own emotional issues well..."

I ruthlessly declared the end of this "relationship." Then, back at the shop to meet up and take more orders, I wanted to tell Hua Jie not to send me any more orders for a while, as I needed some rest.

But when I walked into the store, Hua Jie was not there.

I only saw Jiang Qiqi looking mysteriously at me, and I followed her outside the store where she looked around before speaking:

"Lianlian, I just heard Hua Jie taking a call."

"You still haven't changed this bad habit; eavesdropping will bring you trouble..."

"She was talking to someone named Maige..."

My nerves were struck by lightning once again. "Maige" had really appeared again.
