"She didn't want to come back, so I set her free."

Even as the secretary walked out of the door in a daze, Lu Peijing's words were still in his mind.

Coming back to his senses, the secretary thought, it seems that this time, their President Lu was really hurt.

A person who never smokes and is always calm is now surrounded by madness, collapse, and emotions that are about to explode.

Feelings are such an unpredictable thing.

The secretary shook his head and went back to work.

* Compared to the madness beneath the calm here.

Su Zhiruan spent a few wonderful days with her grandmother.

The location was one she had chosen long ago, a city with blooming flowers in spring, distinct four seasons, low prices and a slow pace of life.

Every household here grows a lot of flowers, which are all colorful and beautiful. As soon as my grandmother came to this small town, she fell in love with it immediately.

"Ruan Ruan, are we really going to settle down here?" Grandma looked at the small booklet of real estate certificate in her hand and still couldn't believe that they actually bought a house here.

Su Zhiruan looked at the house. She was very satisfied with this large flat. Security was guaranteed, the rooms were square and spacious, bright and beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with it except that it was expensive.

But after all, it was a small city and the prices were not high. She bought the house for two million and also paid in full for a car.

"Grandma, just live here peacefully. This will be our home from now on." Su Zhiruan looked at the bright flowers outside the window and felt the fresh air. Her mood became much better.

"Okay, okay!" Grandma was very happy. She looked around and soon chose a room for herself. It was a sunroom near the east side with a large windowsill, which was very suitable for planting flowers. This room was not the largest, but it was the most suitable one for planting flowers and grass.

"Grandma, I bought a lot of express deliveries. We can decorate this house together. Let's go outside in the afternoon and get familiar with the environment." Su Zhiruan smiled and patted the pile of express deliveries on one side. With the other hand holding a utility knife, he opened two express packages while speaking.

"It's a blessing in life to be able to live here in my old age!" Grandma was very happy.

She looked at Su Zhiruan lovingly as she watched her open the express package.

When people get old, they just want to see their children spend every day smiling in front of them. Perhaps, some people will say that children are also human beings and need to go out and explore the world, but the older generation still thinks that the best life is for children to stay with them and be happy.

Su Zhiruan was busy all day. In the evening, she had a nice meal made by her grandma and then lay on the bed to rest.

This season is neither cold nor hot. I lie on the bed in my pajamas with the window slightly open, and occasionally the night breeze blows through.

She was holding her phone and watching short videos.

"Ruan Ruan, grandma went to bed first! You should go to bed early too!"

"Okay!" she replied quickly.

Then I turned down the volume of my phone a lot.

However, just as she was rewatching the short video, a phone call appeared at the top.

She looked carefully and saw that it was Lu Peijing!

Just as she was about to pick up the phone, she saw the other party hung up.

Su Zhiruan sat up and was a little confused when talking on the phone. It might be a wrong number, but it could also be something else. What if the children were sick?

Thinking of this, she decided to call Lu Peijing back.

As she watched her cell phone beep, she felt a little uneasy.

Then the call was connected.

"Hello?" Su Zhiruan asked tentatively.

There was no sound from the other side.

She moved the phone closer and could only hear light breathing sounds from the other side. If she listened more carefully, she could hear the sound of flowing water.

She became more and more confused and continued to ask, "Is it Lu Peijing?"

There was still no response from the other end.

But strangely, he didn't hang up the phone.

Su Zhiruan thought that maybe she answered the call accidentally and there was no one on the other end, so she added, "If there's no one, I'll hang up first."

There was still no response from the other end.

Su Zhiruan hung up the phone in confusion, but soon she put the matter behind her.

On the other side of the phone was Lu Peijing.

If someone could see him now, they would definitely be horrified!

At this moment, Lu Peijing's eyes were full of red bloodshot, and his overall condition was extremely bad.

There were piles of wine bottles on the table, and the remaining wine was flowing all over the table. Even the ground was covered with wine, mixed with cigarette butts. It was hard to imagine to what extent he was addicted to alcohol and smoking.

Lu Peijing himself felt that he looked like a homeless person at this moment.

During the day, he maintains his persona, taking care of his children at home and handling things meticulously at the company.

But when he returned home at night, he even began to hate his own room.

He began to fear his own room.

Here, as soon as she opened her eyes, she disappeared.

He didn't dare go back into that room.

The room where her scent lingered became his daily home.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lu Peijing never thought that it was just a transactional relationship, a relationship of support.

He could actually fall into it, and so deeply.

When Su Zhiruan was around, he felt that he was gradually becoming popular and had his own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

But she doesn't want him anymore.

She doesn't want him...

Every word seemed to be cutting into Lu Peijing's heart.

He raised the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, the aroma of the wine flowing down his neck.

But he knew nothing at this time. In his unclear consciousness, he really wanted to hear her voice.

Even if he was afraid in his heart, even for just a second.

The moment he dialed Su Zhiruan's number, he regretted it.

Love is in my heart but hard to express.

But from the beginning, this relationship was destined to end.

He hung up the phone in a panic.

But in the next second, I saw her dial the number back.

He thought about it and decided that he still wanted some warmth, so he answered the phone.

Her voice was soft, still with that familiar gentleness, and she was still herself.

But after losing her, he, Lu Peijing, seemed to have turned into a monster, a timid, cowardly, crazy person, clamoring in his heart, instigating him to start over, and even using some means that she didn't want to use to keep her.

But Lu Peijing couldn't bear to do so.

Lu Peijing is a human being. Only when Su Zhiruan is around, he is a human being who can cry and laugh.

Lu Peijing is a monster. Without her, he has no spiritual sustenance, no heart, and becomes a complete monster.

He drank a lot of wine and continued to drink.

The more he drank, the more pain he felt in his heart.

The tranquility of the day has long been unable to suppress the monsters of the night.

He wanted to set her free, but who could give him freedom and love?

Lu Peijing felt a wave of desolation in his heart and the whole mountain and field were desolate.

Afterwards, he felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and his heart ached greatly.

At the last moment before he fell, he heard a noise outside.

"Oh no! Mr. Lu fainted! Call an ambulance!"
