After divorcing Chen Xiao, I returned to my parents' home.

At first, when my parents found out about my divorce, they advised me not to act impulsively.

After I told them about Chen Xiao's infidelity during the marriage, my parents' attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

Dad: "I thought he treated you well at first, that's why I agreed to let my daughter marry him. I didn't expect him to be such a despicable person."

Mom: "You sacrificed so much for him, and he didn't know how to cherish you. It's his loss. It's better to leave him. We'll find someone with good character this time."

Dad: "Even if you can't remarry, it's okay. Dad will take care of you for a lifetime."

My parents' stance gave me peace of mind, and I settled down at home.

During the day, I went to work, and in the evening, when I returned home, Mom had already prepared delicious meals for me.

After dinner, I played chess with Dad, went for a walk downstairs, watched Mom dance in the square. Compared to before, where I had to cook dinner for four people no matter how late I finished work, then do the laundry and house chores...

Oh, now I'm living a life like a fairy tale.

Living comfortably at my parents' home led to one consequence - in less than half a year, I gained ten pounds.

My best friend refused to let me continue like this and forced me to run to lose weight, even bringing her cousin along as a training partner.

Her cousin's name is Jing Chi, a graduate of the Sports College, a national-level athlete who became a skiing instructor after graduation.

It was just the beginning of autumn when Jing Chi said it was the off-season for him and he could accompany me in running for three months.

From early autumn to deep autumn, the two of us went from being reserved with each other to becoming friends who could talk about anything.

Despite Jing Chi being two years younger than me, perhaps due to living in a sports school since childhood, he was independent, decisive, and knew how to take care of others.

Once we became familiar, we often went out to eat together.

My best friend was my college classmate, and her boyfriend was Chen Xiao's roommate.

During one meal, my best friend told me about Chen Xiao's recent situation:

"Chen Xiao's new wife gave birth to a baby boy. At first, it brought joy to their whole family, showing off everywhere, always posting photos of his son on social media."

"However, they soon lost their joy. Pang Xiaomin doesn't do any housework at home, doesn't take care of the child, relying entirely on Chen Xiao and his parents. Chen Xiao's mother complained once, and Pang Xiaomin immediately started a fight, saying, 'You guys in the Chen family, if you don't take care of your grandson, who will?' After saying that, she even smashed the TV at home."

My best friend looked gleeful: "They must be regretting it now. Who marries a wife like that, it's like inviting a grandmother."

Jing Chi: "Serves them right! Lin Man is so good, they didn't know how to appreciate her. Now they have to face the consequences."

"Oh, that sounds great, then say a few more words, I love to hear it." I smiled and poured him a glass of wine.

Jing Chi took a sip, and his ears inexplicably turned red.

My best friend looked at me, then at Jing Chi, and slyly smiled.
