"Aci, how have you been lately?"

When Song Ci was about to go out for dinner, he ran into Chi Nan who came over.

She hadn't run into him for a while since she heard the news that he was getting married. She thought he had let it go and wouldn't bother her anymore, but she unexpectedly ran into him at the door of the store today. Judging from the situation, he must have been waiting for a while.

She stopped a meter away from him, looked at him, and said something indifferent, "Mr. Chi, I heard you are getting married. You should be busy with your wedding recently. How do you have time to hang out with me?"

"I happen to be nearby today because of something. Can I have dinner with you?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. No need to eat."

"I'm getting married soon, can't I just have a meal with you? I won't pester you."

Seeing that he was sincere, Song Ci thought he was not lying. In that case, he might as well take this opportunity to get it over with to avoid dragging it out in the future.

"Okay, let's go."

"I remember you like taro pork ribs, so let's have these." After Chi Nan ordered a few dishes that Song Ci liked, the waiter went down to prepare the dishes.

Song Ci didn't say anything. What if he remembered it? No matter how clearly he remembered it, the result would be the same.

"Do you like these dishes?"

"Chi Nan, I agreed to have dinner with you, not to reminisce about the past."

"You're still the same, leaving no room for maneuver, not even a chance for extra self-pity..."

"You're about to get married, what room do you need?"

"What if I don't get married? Do I still have a chance?"

"Chi Nan? How many times do you want me to say this? Whether you get married or not, you and I will just be strangers in this life. There will never be any possibility."

"Why?"

"Oh, funny? Why do you say that?"

"But why didn't you say it then?"

"Does it matter? It's all in the past."

“It’s not important why, but it’s very important to me.”

"Chi Nan, even if we take a hundred steps back and say your mother didn't agree with me then, she still wouldn't agree with me now. Do you think your mother would let a married woman be with you?"

"As long as you are willing, my mother will not be a problem."

"You are truly stubborn."

"I just like you, right?"

"Expired things should be thrown away. Besides, you are going to get married soon. Since you have chosen to get married, don't come to me again. Don't waste other girls' time. Don't make me look down on you and make me think that I had poor vision in the past for falling in love with someone like you."

Chi Nan was silent and didn't say anything.

It's not that he didn't understand. To him, his entanglement was nothing more than stubbornness, an obsession that he was unwilling to give up. He thought that as long as he didn't give up, there would still be a chance, but he forgot, forgot that she was not the kind of person who would go back to her. He still remembered what she once said, that as long as she didn't love him anymore, then she really didn't love him anymore.

Even if she loves and lets go, even if she still likes him, she will never look back.

How could he not understand that the moment they broke up, they were doomed to be apart in this life.

"Okay, I understand. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you happiness."

"I wish you happiness too."

The two of them started chatting and then ate lunch quietly. This was probably the last time they would eat together in their lives.

Outside the restaurant, Mu Jingjue, who had picked up the gift, wanted to go back directly, but when passing by the restaurant, he inadvertently discovered that his wife seemed to be sitting and having dinner with her ex-boyfriend, and the scene looked very harmonious.

He clenched his hand holding the gift slightly, feeling a little sad.

Does she regret this?

Does she want to be with him?

He picked up the phone with difficulty and called her through the glass, not missing the expression on her face.

Song Ci was eating when she saw the phone on the table light up and saw the familiar note. She didn't answer it immediately, but wanted to wait for it to hang up automatically.

But, for some reason, she still accepted the call.

Mu Jingjue, who was outside the door, looked at all this and felt a little bitter and blocked in his heart.

"Hello."

After Song Ci answered the call, seeing that he didn't say anything, he broke the silence first.

"Well, where are you? Are you free? Can we have lunch together?"

"I'm already eating."

"Alone?"

Song Ci originally wanted to tell him about her ex-boyfriend, but then she thought, if she did, she might not be able to explain it clearly. She might as well just keep it a secret from him, so they wouldn't have to argue with each other later. "Yeah, alone."

Mu Jingjue, who was outside the door, didn't react for a moment after hearing her lie. He suddenly felt like a joke and didn't know how to save the situation.

"Nothing, I'll hang up first." Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Song Ci thought that he had something to do, so he wanted to hang up.

"Um."

Then there was a beeping sound.

Song Ci thought he was a little strange. Under normal circumstances, he would not hang up the phone so easily. Moreover, hadn't he been trying to find him in various ways these days?

But she didn't think much about it. She put down her phone and looked out the window inadvertently. As a result, her eyes met Mu Jingjue outside the door.

She never expected that someone would be outside the door. Didn't that mean he saw everything that just happened?

Mu Jingjue's gaze disappeared as soon as it made contact, and then he turned and left without hesitation.

Without saying a word, Song Ci quickly picked up his phone and chased after him.

She could be angry and upset, but she could never get upset because of him misunderstanding her.

What is going on? The original intention was to save trouble, but now it has ended up creating trouble.

Chi Nan looked at her and then glanced out the window, then ran away without saying goodbye. He turned his head curiously and saw her chasing a familiar shadow.

He suddenly felt a little envious. Once upon a time, she had pursued him in the same way. Unfortunately, things were different now.

However, even if Song Ci ran out immediately, the person was already gone.

She chased him to the company, but he didn't come back. She called him back, but he said he didn't see him. She had a headache for a moment.

Where did he go?
