People are bidding on sweaters that cost such exorbitant prices.

In a daze, Tang Li looked up and saw Huo Chenyu's car parked across the street.

This truly proves the saying: "Gathering and parting are all predestined, and nothing is up to us."

Tang Li got out of the car and met up with Huo Chenyu.

Everything went very smoothly.

After receiving the divorce certificate and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Tang Li glanced at the messages on her Xianyu account and replied to the other party:

"Sent out at noon, SF Express cash on delivery."

Postage was her last act of defiance.

It's strange how people can buy things for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars without batting an eye, but they absolutely cannot tolerate postage of just a few dollars.

But the other party accepted it readily and said thank you.

Tang Li smiled bitterly.

The smile caught Huo Chenyu's eye, and he felt inexplicably irritated. He swallowed back what he was about to say and strode towards the car.

"Huo Chenyu".

Tang Li called out to him.

Huo Chenyu turned around in response, and Tang Li took two steps forward, then changed his form of address:

"Mr. Huo, it is a great honor to have traveled this far. In the years to come, though the journey may be long and arduous, I hope that your wishes will be fulfilled."

The word "Mr. Huo" ignited a long-suppressed flame within Huo Chenyu.

He took two steps forward, closing in on Tang Li:

"I heard you rented out the house?"

It's only 10:30, so it seems his assistant went to get his luggage.

Tang Li took a few steps back, creating distance between them, and said politely:

"Legally, the house belongs to me, and I have the right to dispose of it as I see fit."

She didn't even have the slightest bit of regret.

Huo Chenyu turned the tables and accused others:

"You seem even more eager to escape than I am."

It turns out he wanted to escape.

These two words are very hurtful.

Tang Li smiled faintly, her dimples radiating a stubbornness as she met Huo Chenyu's gaze, and said, word by word:

"The freedom that you gave me is invaluable, and I dare not fail to cherish it."

Huo Chenyu looked down and saw the faded ring mark on her left ring finger. He lowered his voice and asked:

"Where's the ring?"

Tang Li rubbed that section of finger and asked with a smile:

"Are you going to take it back?"

Huo Chenyu nodded:

“I’ve changed my mind. I do have this idea. After all, what you don’t like, your future Mrs. Huo might like.”

Tang Li clenched her fingers, suppressing her emotions, and said with a light laugh:

"I've already said, the ring has your name on it, it's too personal for me to keep."

so what?

Huo Chenyu took a few more steps closer, but Tang Li did not retreat. Instead, she looked at him with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and said:

"I threw the ring into the fishpond. If you want to retrieve it, you'd better hurry."

She needed to rush back to sign the lease agreement.

After getting into the car, Tang Li took the ring out of her bag, looked at it for a long time, and then put it back. On her way home, she passed by a real estate agency and signed a rental agreement, but she didn't see the person who rented the house. That person had entrusted the agency to handle the matter entirely.

They only said their flight would arrive the next day and they would check in directly.

Back home, Tang Li casually tossed the ring into the fishpond, picked up her luggage, and left the home she had lived in for three years without looking back.

In this city, she only had one close friend, Tang Sui, who was the adopted daughter of the Tang family.

Tang Li traveled thousands of miles to settle down here for Huo Chenyu. As Tang Li's adopted daughter, Tang Sui was unwilling to be separated from her and resolutely followed her to this city to make a living.

Tang Sui was quite surprised to see Tang Li carrying only a simple suitcase and asked:

"Have you run away from home?"

Knowing that Tang Sui would ask, Tang Li stuffed the still-warm divorce certificate into Tang Sui's hand.

Seeing that the divorce certificate listed Tang Li and Huo Chenyu's names, Tang Sui pinched herself several times:

"Am I dreaming? Just two days ago you were so happy to tell me that you knitted a sweater for Huo Chenyu as a gift for your wedding anniversary."

Why did they suddenly get divorced?

Tang Li glossed over it:

"That's the day we decided to get divorced."

Tang Sui grabbed Tang Li and pressed him for an answer:

"You want a divorce?"

Tang Li shook his head:

He said he wanted to give the woman he loved a home, and he estimated that it wouldn't be long before he would openly marry her and have children.

During their three-year secret marriage, she never openly held hands with Huo Chenyu.

Tang Sui was naturally very irritable and insisted on going to Huo Chenyu to demand an explanation, but Tang Li stopped her:

"Sui Sui, you know I have my pride."

Knowing her stubborn temper, Tang Sui had no choice but to suppress her anger and ask:

"Do you know who that vixen is?"

Fearing that Tang Sui would keep bringing up Huo Chenyu's name endlessly, and that Tang Li was afraid she would lose control of her emotions while trying to hold back her tears, she abruptly changed the subject and said to Tang Sui:

Did you know? Lin Yiyun is getting married.

In his rage, Tang Sui completely forgot that Lin Yiyun was a big star, automatically projecting that image onto her, and roared:

"Damn it, Huo Chenyu and Lin Yiyun are having an affair?"
