As Ni Sitian walked across the street to hail a taxi back, she saw Xu Tingchuan and a woman coming out of the residential area.

She instinctively hid behind a big tree, peeking out cautiously. She saw the woman holding Xu Tingchuan's arm, and Xu Tingchuan didn't seem to mind at all; the two were very intimate.

The woman was probably four or five years older than her, with long curly hair, very beautiful, and with a great demeanor.

Their intimacy was very natural. Although Xu Tingchuan didn't speak and it was the woman who did all the talking, she could see that there was a kind of indulgent and doting look in his eyes when he looked at her.

She wanted to rush up and confront him, but she held back. Qin Mubei was still nearby, and she didn't want to give him a chance to laugh at her.

And so, she hid behind a big tree and watched helplessly as Xu Tingchuan and that woman drove away.

Her expression became somewhat bewildered. How could the man who was so intimate with her yesterday be acting like that with other women today? Are all men in this world so heartless and cold-hearted?

Father is like this, Li Shaoan is like this, Qin Mubei is like this...

Ni Sitian smiled bitterly, stepped out from behind the tree, and walked along the road, stopping and starting, somewhat hesitantly.

She doesn't want to go back to that home, but she doesn't know where to go.

She has lived in Yihai City for 21 years, but there is not a single place here that belongs to her.

The more I thought about it, the more lost I felt. I wandered aimlessly for who knows how long, and my shoelaces came undone.

She squatted down, tied her shoelaces, and suddenly her stomach growled.

Nothing is more important than eating, Ni Sitian took a deep breath and decided to put all that nonsense aside and find a place to eat first.

After looking around, she walked towards a snack shop.

Recently, in order to soothe Xu Tingchuan's stomach, she has been making a point of eating those bland soups and broths with him.

Today she decided to eat to her heart's content, ordering spicy hot pot, fried stinky tofu, grilled sausage, fried chicken, and takoyaki, filling a small table with food. She put aside all other thoughts and began to focus on eating.

She only stopped eating after stuffing herself until she couldn't eat anymore.

After eating, I felt very full, so I went to a nearby shopping mall by myself.

With a hint of revenge in her mind, she took out the card Xu Tingchuan had given her and swiped it to buy a bunch of random items, mostly brands she wouldn't normally dare to even look at.

She walked until after 4 p.m., her legs were tired, and she finally went home carrying her bags.

Upon entering the house, she found that Xu Tingchuan had not returned. She took off her shoes, too lazy to even put on slippers, and walked barefoot into the living room. She threw a bunch of things onto the sofa and then headed towards the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Ji Xiaoyun called, and she realized that it was the editor-in-chief's birthday party today.

She was in a bad mood and wanted to use being sick as an excuse not to go, but then she thought that he was having a good time outside, so why should she be listless and lethargic?

Hmph, I'll go have some fun tonight.

With that thought, Ni Sitian felt much better. She put on some makeup, applied a rose-pink lipstick, and then chose a white lace dress from the clothes she bought today to change into.

Then put on large round earrings, let your long hair down, put on high heels, and spray on perfume.

She looked at herself in the mirror and seemed to have matured by five or six years. Satisfied, she picked up her handbag and went out.

She took a taxi straight to the agreed location, arriving about half an hour late. As soon as she entered the private room, everyone was already there, and all eyes turned to her.
