A moment of frustration is caused by wrapping up, the full moon's clear light is born from love
"What can we do? Miss Yue, Princess Yue, if you don't want to force him into complete despair with a stern warning, then we can only curb his despair gradually. The rejection is yours, but his will to refuse is his. Over time, he'll either give up or fall in love with someone else. If he persists despite all the hardships, then perhaps Manager Yue should reconsider."
Looking at the answer given by "Spit Star", Xue Jiuyue confirmed it with a small half glass of whiskey. She wanted to deny the ending again, but felt it was unnecessary. So she put down the glass and replied with one word, "Let's go!"
Game time took over the night...
A good sleep creates an interval in the continuation of time, making the moment you open your eyes a new beginning.
Morning jog, coffee, and croissants are the standard ingredients for Xue Jiuyue's daily "morning." So more often than not, her first sip of coffee and first bite of bread don't come from "a single moment of time," but that doesn't affect the start of a new day.
Especially today - if I don’t open the bag my dad gave me, it might be exposed during the next surprise inspection by the “police” - I’ll go out with a new bag today.
After her morning run, Xue Jiuyue changed into a white dress and white sneakers. The white from head to toe made the candy-colored bag on her waist the most eye-catching dream in the sun.
A new sun always brings a new day, but it doesn't always bring a new mood. Especially the endless loneliness and bitterness brought by the long night without her beloved, like maggots gnawing at the beauty in Mei Rugu's memory.
No matter how you feel, you will always be strong again when the day breaks.
Mei Rugu, resilient, first went to the office to catch up on her work. A typical day's work was compressed into half a day. It was past noon when Mei Rugu finally stepped into "Inch of Time." The shop wasn't crowded, so Mei Rugu quietly took a seat. She ordered a cup of coffee, briefly familiarized herself with the shop's surroundings and requirements, and then walked over to Xue Jiuyue, who was in the distance.
"Hello!"
Mei Rugu's voice surprised Xue Jiuyue, who was reading the newspaper, because she was showing an embarrassed face.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar person in front of him and recalling the familiar person they passed by, Xue Jiuyue politely asked the other person to take a seat.
"We've met before." Mei Rugu sat down and looked at Xue Jiuyue closely. Even though they were both women, she was captivated by her beauty. Especially in her white dress, Xue Jiuyue exuded a clean, transparent, and even holy aura, which reminded her of Li Jingzi's words, "She will definitely not become a mistress."
"Hello, yes, we've met before." Xue Jiuyue sat up straight, even pulling her fluffy dress in place. The candy-colored hair that had been hidden at her side was revealed, dazzling the eyes of the person opposite her and dispelling Mei Rugu's hesitation.
Mei Rugu took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, and then said word by word, "My name is Mei Rugu, and I am Qian Jianjun's wife."
Mei Rugu's choice of words and tone clearly revealed too much that was left unsaid. Xue Jiuyue was not only completely confused but also deeply hurt. Her pretty face was as cold as ice as she replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't know the Qian Jianjun you're talking about!"
Mei Rugu sneered at the expected answer and said, "Isn't Qian Jianjun, the chairman of the Jianru Group, your distinguished guest and your lover?"
"Please be careful with your words. Everyone who comes here is a guest, and only a guest! I repeat, I don't know the Qian Jianjun you mentioned, and I don't know the so-called chairman of the board of directors." Xue Jiuyue's tone was cold. The hurt to her self-esteem made her on the verge of exploding, but her reason still told her that there must be a misunderstanding.
"I've already given you the bag, and you still say you don't know me. Are you kidding me?"
Although this sentence revealed part of the reason for the misunderstanding, it also touched Xue Jiuyue's bottom line, the bottom line of her true love. Her breathing became rapid, her body trembled uncontrollably, her vision went dark, and she was about to faint.
After taking a sip of coffee and leaning back on the sofa, Xue Jiuyue finally caught her breath and laughed in anger. She took the bag and patted it gently, just like she would pat her father's belly when she was a child. Then she replied affectionately, "Yes, this was given to me by a man. The man I love the most and who loves me the most! What? The man you love didn't give it to you?"
The provocative words made Mei Rugu furious. She stood up suddenly and wanted to expose this "vixen" in public, but her hands were grabbed and she could not take the next step.
Qian Jianjun, giving himself a break, completely abandoned time, following his instincts. A night fishing trip with friends allowed him to experience a rare reversal of day and night. He went to a hotel for a nap, but the distorted biological clock and unfamiliar surroundings left him feeling exhausted, leaving Qian Jianjun to slowly rest in the fleeting moments of time.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked around to find a suitable place to sit, but the most familiar figure gave him the most unexpected surprise.
By the time he got closer, he had already guessed about 80% of the truth, so he grabbed Mei Rugu's hand in time to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"Why are you here?"
Qian Jianjun's hasty and blunt questioning left Mei Rugu feeling humiliated. Fuming with rage, she lashed out with hurtful words, "You're allowed to come here secretly, but I'm not allowed to come openly, right?"
Xue Jiuyue, who was already furious, calmed down. Now that the real culprit was here, she could probably guess what was going on. She was already deeply hurt, so she didn't mind watching the fire from the other side.
"Mei Rugu, could you please stop making a scene outside?" Qian Jianjun was so ashamed and angry that his deep voice sounded like the growl of a beast ready to devour people.
The rule in the coffee shop that one cannot speak loudly and disturb others still constrained Qian Jianjun even at this moment. He then apologized to Xue Jiuyue repeatedly while holding Mei Rugu's wrist tightly, wanting to leave the coffee shop first.
Although their arguments had become increasingly frequent and intense over the past two years since their marriage, they had never had a physical altercation. But now, her wrist was painfully clamped, and the force of the pull had left Mei Rugu unable to feel any tenderness.
If you are so determined, then what is the meaning of everything?
Strength instantly drained from every corner of Mei Rugu's body, leaving only endless weakness. She couldn't resist, couldn't speak, couldn't maintain her dignity. She was so weak that she couldn't even hold back her tears, which flowed out silently...
Qian Jianjun was so angry that he didn't notice Mei Rugu's change. As soon as he walked out of the cafe, he completely exploded.
"Mei Rugu, you're really capable of doing this! You've embarrassed yourself outright! Are you done yet? Do you still have some dignity?"
Mei Rugu remained silent, unable to even hear what he was saying. She simply watched the face she loved so much twist and blur before her eyes...
Qian Jianjun finally realized that this situation was different from the past. But he was not wrong, not at all.
Qian Jianjun was so choked with anger and grievance that he didn't know what to say, and even his gaze was unsteady. He clenched his teeth, holding his breath, looking up at the sky, down at the ground, around him, and into the distance, finally returning to Mei Rugu. He swallowed and explained as calmly as possible, "You were busy with your work, so I had to find a place to relax! I only spoke to that girl once! Is that not okay? Is that wrong? It's okay for you to act unreasonable at home, but can you please not make such a scene that everyone knows about it?"
A plausible explanation and a modicum of peace became the straw that kept Mei Rugu alive. A burst of rapid breathing, followed by a cough, choked out the despair of utter despair. Returning with her were not only wisps of hope but also her unwavering, unwavering logic.
"Just one word and you get a bag for free. Boss Qian is indeed generous and has a lot of money."
"You! You!..." Qian Jianjun pointed his finger at Mei Rugu, speechless with rage. The countless arguments he'd had had already drained his patience for explanation. Looking at Mei Rugu, who had returned to normal, Qian Jianjun, his mind racing, uttered only one sentence: "You're hopeless!" Then, without even a backward glance, he walked away.
Qian Jianjun's attitude more or less revealed some information. Mei Rugu began to quickly sort out his own chain of thought. Could it be that as Li Jingzi said, he was "suspecting his neighbor of stealing an axe"?
There was no answer, but Xue Jiuyue's provocative words were still ringing in my ears, the pain in my wrist was still lingering in my heart, and a thick cloud of suspicion still hung over me. I wanted to find the truth to relieve my worries, but it seemed I needed to find another way.
Mei Rugu, who had become strong again, also left, in the opposite direction of Qian Jianjun...
Time flows like flowing water, covering all ravines, leaving only the illusion of clarity, concealing the hidden reefs, whirlpools, and endless heartache beneath the calm. Xue Jiuyue rejected the concern of Ke Yike and the others, sinking beneath the surface of time to lick her wounds alone.
On a summer night, a stubborn yet weak figure sat alone on the roof, sobbing silently under the full moon sky, facing the dim lights in the distance.
A fat man came and sat next to her. He put his warm arms on her thin shoulders, held her in his arms and leaned against his chest without saying a word.
But the little girl's tears turned into tears. After a long while, she finally said, "Dad, I really didn't take her pen."
"Dad knows."
"But my classmates all said behind my back that I took it."
"Xiao Shi, we don't live in the eyes of others, nor in the mouths of others, we only live in our own hearts!"
"Living in your own heart means not caring about what others think or say and just following your own heart."
"My daughter is so smart!"
"But I can't do it. I can't see inside myself."
"Wait a moment."
After saying that, the man walked away, turned on many lights around him, and then came back.
"Xiao Shi, look up at the moon now..."
Then he turned off the lights again, sat back down and hugged his daughter.
"Xiao Shi, look at the moon now, what's different?"
"Dad, the moon is brighter!"
"Correct! The light is the external interference, and the moon is your inner self. Calm your heart and eliminate all distractions, and you will find that the full moon is always there, guiding you!"
"Dad, I understand a little bit."
"Xiao Shi, don't worry. Just remember it and slowly understand it. You were born on a full moon night, so there will always be a full moon shining in your night sky. Be happy, my daughter. When people see the bright moonlight, all the noise will disappear..."
"We don't live in the eyes of others, nor in the mouths of others, we only live in our own hearts!" Xue Jiuyue softly recalled what her father said.
Like a spell, her mood gradually calmed down amidst the gentle words. Xue Jiuyue picked up the bag her father had given her and placed it on the table. Then she leaned her face against it, feeling as if she were leaning against her father's chest, warm and solid. Tears and longing filled her eyes...
