After driving for a while, Jiang Xiaoling heard the sound of a sports car behind her. Without even thinking, she knew it must be Xu Yi's.

The car stopped in front of her, and then a gentle male voice entered Jiang Xiaoling's ears.

"Miss, do you need a taxi?"

The voice didn't sound like Xu Yi's. Jiang Xiaoling turned her head and saw the dim streetlights shining on his face, making him look even more radiant.

She got into the car, and it wasn't until she got out that the driver said Xu Yi had sent him to take her home.

Jiang Xiaoling felt a little uncomfortable, having been tricked, so she thanked him and went upstairs.

After returning home, Jiang Xiaoling went straight to sleep, trying her best to forget everything that had just happened. But no matter how hard she tried to banish those thoughts, they kept swirling in her mind.

Xu Yi liked her; she had always known that. But ever since he agreed to marry Liu Yunqi yesterday, she thought he had given up on her. However, judging from today's events, not only had he not given up, but he also seemed determined to continue pursuing her relentlessly.

She knew full well that a relationship between them was impossible. Xu Yi was far superior to her, and he would gain more by marrying Liu Yunqi than by being with her. Moreover, even if they were together, Xu Haicang would not agree, given the vast difference in their social standing.

Jiang Xiaoling knew very well that she didn't have the means to dream unrealistic dreams.

All she can do is live in the moment, live each day simply and peacefully, and that's enough.

When I meet the right person in the future, I will get married, have children, and spend the rest of my life with him.

Instead of being with an unreliable person like Xu Yi, that was not her ideal life at all.

It was very late at night.

On the fifth day of Fu Hange's stay in the countryside, Fu Chengyi came again. This time, Fu Hange suddenly realized that the meals her landlady had been serving her these past few days, which were all thanks to Fu Chengyi.

Fu Cheng put the fruit he was holding on the table and found a seat close to her.

"When do you plan to go back?" Fu Chengyi asked.

Fu Hange looked up at the sky outside and said softly, "Let's talk about it when I'm in a better mood."

At least she's not ready to go back yet, nor does she have the courage to face Gu Yuan.

Fu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "When will you be in a better mood?"

Fu Hange didn't rush to answer; instead, she continued to look outside.

An awkward silence fell over the air, and Fu Chengyi sighed.

He then stood up, took her hand, and said, "Let's go out for some fresh air."

Fu Chengyi learned from the landlady that Fu Hange hadn't gone out since arriving here, keeping herself cooped up in her room.

Everything needs to be aired out to prevent it from rusting, and Fu Hange is no exception. Taking her out for a walk might change her mood.

She initially resisted, but the landlady persuaded her to leave.

Fu Chengyi led her into the car, and Fu Hange asked with some trepidation, "You're not planning to trick me into going back like this, are you?"

Fu Cheng rested one hand on the steering wheel and chuckled softly, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

That's hard to say. Last time, she was misunderstood by Gu Yuan because she was alone with him, which led her to come here. In the end, that incident was also related to him.

As the car drove up to the mountaintop, Fu Cheng asked, "How is it? The scenery here is quite nice, isn't it?"

Fu Hange stared at the sky for a long time, feeling a bit breathless and uncomfortable. The dim afterglow shone on them, and the setting sun was about to be covered by the moonlight. As the sun went down, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man next to her.
