Xu Mengyu blocked all of Zheng Tianming's contact methods, saying that she would cut ties completely and stop bothering him.

After spending a short time together, Xu Mengyu finally realized that they were incompatible in every way except for sleeping together...

It was already noon when they got off the plane. Xu Mengyu was holding an iced coffee, followed by a maid, and a bodyguard was carrying Xu Lu. She couldn't be happier.

Xu Mengyu bought a luxury mansion in the city worth over 100 million yuan. The magnificent European style filled every corner. In the living room, the huge crystal chandelier was the focus of the entire space, with countless dazzling crystal beads shining brilliantly under the light.

As soon as Xu Mengyu got home, she made an appointment for a beauty and body care specialist to come to her home. She was too lazy to go out. She had been so exhausted lately that she was almost unrecognizable.

She's the type to have a hundred million and be willing to squander two hundred million, but she's rich enough to do whatever she wants. Even if she doesn't want it, Xu Sichen will still transfer money to her account every day.

"Mom, Uncle Zheng called me," Xu Lu said, pointing to the lit screen, his voice trembling with excitement.

Xu Mengyu had just hung up the phone and was standing at the door talking to the bodyguard when she heard Xu Lu's voice and glanced down at him.

"Go abroad and help those people find out where Chen Han is." Xu Mengyu had a very bad feeling. The people she sent out still hadn't heard anything.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, she sent someone to look for him, since the memory card was still in his possession.

The bodyguard with a scar on his face lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I'll go check right away." He had lost the young master before and was worried about not having a chance to make amends.

Seeing that Xu Lu was still waiting, Xu Mengyu's fingertip landed on the phone screen and gently swiped it.

Xu Lu pouted. He really liked Uncle Zheng. On the night he was rescued, he stood in the crowd, the police lights shining on him. Many people surrounded him, some following his instructions, others thanking him.

He looked exactly like the hero in his heart, but his mother didn't seem to like him very much...

Zheng Tianming stared at the phone that had been hung up, his face darkening. When he woke up, Xu Mengyu had run away with the child, just like a few years ago. She would sleep with him and then run away. This time, she even blocked all his contact methods. She was really ruthless.

He didn't know Xu Mengyu's exact location, so he could only go home and ask his elders for directions.

Feng Xi was sitting on the sofa looking at the documents her assistant had just brought over when the door opened. She turned her head and saw Zheng Tianming: "Why did you come back by yourself? Where's Mengyu?"

Zheng Tianming, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, his smooth arms taut, held a can of Coke he had just bought downstairs: "Mom, call Mengyu, I lost my phone and need to talk to her."

Feng Xi looked at Zheng Tianming meaningfully. He couldn't even lie. How could someone steal his things?

Xu Mengyu was listening to Xu Lu playing the piano when her phone rang. She glanced at it and said, "Hello, Aunt Feng."

Feng Xi looked up at Zheng Tianming standing to the side, her face grim, as if asking who owed her money: "Mengyu, Tianming said he has something important to discuss with you."

Xu Mengyu was silent for a moment. He reacted quickly, knowing that he was no good, he went home to get help, and even complained that she liked to tattle. Isn't that all he's good for?

Zheng Tianming strode out with his phone in hand, his face frighteningly grim. Feng Xi, worried about his loose tongue, tried to follow him, but the door slammed shut with a loud bang...

Zheng Tianming gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger: "Xu Mengyu, you can say you're unhappy, but you just slept with me and ran away. What do you take me for?!"

Xu Mengyu sat on the sofa in silence for a moment: "Zheng Tianming, we each have our own careers. We're not suitable for each other. When I was eighteen, I thought love could overcome all difficulties, and I even believed that love could create miracles."

Some things are hard to say face to face, but since he's called, I'll just say it all at once.

Zheng Tianming's anger gradually subsided. All he could hear in Xu Mengyu's tone was "indifference," a kind of indifference born of utter disappointment.

Xu Mengyu continued, "We grew up together. When you said you wanted to join the army, I was so proud of you. In the month before you left, I prepared everything for you."

Zheng Tianming carefully recalled what happened back then. He was graduating at the time and was about to join the army. He was only focused on hanging out with his friends, and being young, he wasn't very perceptive and didn't notice Xu Mengyu's unusual behavior.

She often throws tantrums and is used to being willful, so I assumed she was just being unreasonable again and ignored her.

Xu Mengyu's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "But you really don't care about me. I cried and begged you not to leave. I acted so strangely, and you didn't even bother to ask why. You just went to have a farewell drink with your brothers. I was still young then, and in this relationship, I was always the one who took the initiative. You were just half-heartedly going along with it..."

He never took the initiative, not even in bed. He always seemed reluctant. She wasn't sure if he loved her, and from the beginning until now, she didn't want to use the child to tie him down.

As it turns out, she wasn't that important to him.

Zheng Tianming's voice was a little hoarse: "Mengyu, I admit, I wasn't mature enough back then. I'm sorry."

If he had found out back then, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings between them, and she wouldn't have had to endure the grievances and pain of giving birth alone.

Xu Mengyu chuckled softly: "I'm an actress. If you're with me, your true identity will be exposed. How can you be a great hero then? You see, it was destined from childhood that we couldn't be together. As for Xiao Lu, I was wrong. I was too stubborn in trying to make you prove that you care, that you love me."

Before Zheng Tianming could say anything more, Xu Mengyu said softly, "[Knowing there's nothing you can do about it, accept it as fate. Zheng Tianming, just accept it.]"

After the call ended, Xu Mengyu felt a cool sensation on her face. She placed her fingertips on it, and large tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

It was something she wanted to let go of, but her heart ached involuntarily. Afraid that Xu Lu would see, she found a position to hide her face under a pillow.

Go to sleep. When you wake up, maybe your heart won't hurt so much...

Holding his phone, Zheng Tianming slowly squatted down, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant. His heart ached. He had missed eight years, and the young lady had waited eight years.

Now he knows everything, but she's not waiting anymore...

Zheng Tianming's deep eyes dimmed, the corners of his eyes reddened, and everything in sight became hazy and indistinct.

He knew better than anyone that some people, once lost, can never be found again.

The thought that the young lady might marry another man in the future made him extremely distressed; even a thousand needles wouldn't hurt as much as he was now.

When Feng Xi came out, Zheng Tianming had already left...
