Perhaps she lingered at the intersection for too long, attracting the attention of the police. A police car stopped next to Lin Yue, and the police got out and asked, "Young lady, is something wrong? If you have any difficulties, be sure to find the police. Don't do anything foolish."

"Officer, are you mistaken about me trying to commit suicide?" Lin Yue quickly shook her head. "No, no, I just came out to throw out the trash and take a walk. I'll be right back." Before she finished speaking, she turned and ran back.

She ran all the way back to the entrance of the residential compound. When the security guard saw her, he quickly came out and asked, "Young lady, what's wrong?"

Lin Yue rubbed her hands, which were stiff from the cold, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked into the security room, which looked so warm inside, and said shyly, "Uncle, can I sit here for a while? Just a little while, I promise I won't disturb your work."

Without a second thought, the security guard opened the door and gestured for her to come in. "Come in, come in! It's so cold outside, you must be freezing. What are you doing out in this weather? Did you have a fight with your parents?"

Lin Yue forced a smile, her lips stiff from the cold. "No. Uncle, am I bothering you like this?"

"No, it's rare to have someone to talk to, even for an old man like me."

Just then, Lin Yue's stomach rumbled again. She covered her stomach sheepishly and smiled.

"Are you hungry? Uncle has some instant noodles here, want me to make you a cup?"

Lin Yue nodded gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, Uncle."

Is this a blessing in disguise? She had almost forgotten what instant noodles tasted like. Before she met Song Yunzheng, her mother wouldn't let her eat them. After she met Song Yunzheng, he became even more perverted, and the number of things he wouldn't allow her to eat increased.

——

Song Yunzheng stayed alone in the study for a while. Frustrated, he casually tossed the ring into a drawer. He didn't want Lin Yue to know about this past relationship. After giving his all, he thought he could walk down the aisle, but just as he was about to propose, he was inexplicably abandoned. This became a scar on his heart.

Lin Yue's actions were like rubbing salt into his wounds, all while putting on a nonchalant act and saying things that could make a person want to vomit blood. He had almost forgotten about it all, but her meddling brought back all those unpleasant memories, both the good and the bad.

After calming down, he walked out of the study and saw that the living room lights were on but no one was in sight. He then went to the bedroom, thinking about how to coax her.

However, when he turned on the bedroom light and saw the neatly made bed, his heart sank, and he immediately shouted, "Lin Yue! Lin Yue!"

Where is the girl? Where did she go? I've searched every room in the house, but I still can't find her! Could she have run away?

Song Yunzheng immediately took out his phone and dialed her number. Three seconds later, the melodious ringtone of the phone rang out on the living room sofa...

Damn it, she didn't even bring her phone! It's freezing cold, isn't she afraid of freezing to death!

With a dark expression, Song Yunzheng grabbed his car keys and stormed out without a word. It was so late, and she was out alone. What if she encountered danger? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Just then, as the elevator was moving up and down, Song Yunzheng had just stepped into it when another elevator door slowly opened. Lin Yue walked out of the elevator with her head down.

She had just sat with the security guard for a while and even ate a bowl of instant noodles. Feeling too embarrassed to stay any longer, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go home.

Because she didn't have her keys, she hesitated at the door for a long time before finally mustering the courage to ring the doorbell. She secretly thought that if he was still angry, she could just sleep in the spare bedroom tonight.

The doorbell rang, but no one answered. Were you asleep? Your wife has run away from home, how can you sleep?!

She patiently rang the doorbell again, but still no one answered. Was he really angry? Was his punishment to keep her out and not let her come home to sleep? Lin Yue immediately felt wronged again. When he's nice, he calls her "baby," but when he's not, he tells her to get out. You dog of a man, so petty!

Lin Yue felt more and more pathetic as she thought about it, so she simply sat down on the ground. She had walked so far that she couldn't walk anymore. It was so late, and she had no money or phone. She couldn't go anywhere. Her husband had locked her out of the house in the freezing cold. She suddenly felt like a little cabbage in the field, with no one to care for her or love her.

Song Yunzheng slammed on the gas as soon as he got in the car. How could he argue with a little kid like her? She'd been gone for so long, and he hadn't even known! It was so cold outside; where could she go without money or a phone?

She just lets herself run wild and never learns from her mistakes. The Duan Yulong incident was barely over, and now she's causing this again. She can't stand not getting into trouble for him! It seems I've spoiled you too much; you have no idea what you should or shouldn't do. When I find you later, I'll give you a good spanking!
