Chapter 68 Ex-wife White Moonlight 1 She never thought that in this life she could still...
Returning to the system space again, Ali stretched comfortably.
She had already completed three worlds. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt a warm feeling in her heart, as if something was constantly absorbing nutrients and slowly sprouting.
Although it still felt empty to the touch, there was no heartbeat.
Seeing that she was adapting well, the system said, "Because the host has performed so well, the General Administration has granted me Level 1 permissions. Now, the host can choose the next world to be transported to."
After he finished speaking, many words appeared in front of Ali's eyes: campus, palace, modern...
She knew the meaning of some of the words when read separately, but she didn't understand what they meant when put together.
Ali looked at the last one: "What dynasty is the modern era?"
The system thought for a moment and said, "The modern era shouldn't be considered a specific dynasty. The host can understand it as the future, a future very, very far away from the host."
Ali nodded.
What will the future be like?
She pondered for a moment, then lightly touched her fingertips: "I choose this one."
The scene before his eyes began to change, and Ali closed his eyes.

"Passengers taking China Airlines flight HC6817 from Qingzhou to Xihai, please note that check-in for your flight is now open. Please proceed to Gate 145 for boarding. Thank you."
A clear voice announced something, and Ali opened his eyes. He saw people around him standing up and walking towards the exit marked "145".
She was stunned for a moment, then followed with her red backpack.
While queuing for boarding, the system transmitted the plot of this world to her.
This is a modern world. The name of the novel is "Marrying the Wrong Man into a Rich Family", and there is a bold word below it: Marry first, love later.
The male protagonist Sheng Yu is the only son of the Sheng family, the richest family in Qingzhou. He graduated from a prestigious university and is handsome. At the age of 26, he inherited his family's huge business empire.
As soon as he came to power, the rookie ignored the opposition and carried out drastic reforms to the Sheng family's various industries.
Even when the outside world was pessimistic and the economic situation was sluggish, Sheng Group achieved double growth in revenue and scale for several consecutive years.
Under his leadership, Sheng's status has risen rapidly in recent years, attracting attention, and he himself is a well-deserved industry elite and a child of destiny.
Such a business tycoon usually acts very low-key and keeps himself clean.
Apart from a relationship that ended without success many years ago, there has been no gossip about him. He has not yet started a family and is fully focused on his career.
The old man of the Sheng family saw it and was worried.
It was his 80th birthday, and his old friend Yan Jia came with his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter Yan Xia to celebrate.
The Yan family used to be businessmen like the Sheng family, but they gradually declined.
Now that the Yan family has brought their granddaughter to celebrate his birthday, Old Master Sheng knows exactly what their plan is.
It's just that the little girl from the Yan family is pretty and sweet-spoken. She is three years younger than his grandson and has just returned from studying abroad. The two of them look particularly well-matched standing together. Old Master Sheng likes them and acquiesces to this matter.
Unexpectedly, his grandson, who had always been indifferent to pressure to get married, did not object this time, and the two soon became boyfriend and girlfriend.
The daughter of the impoverished Yan family actually won over the handsome, wealthy and aloof Sheng Yu. This news caused quite a stir in the circle.
Many people thought that Sheng Yu was just acting and were waiting to see Yan Xia make a fool of herself.
But not long after, the Sheng and Yan families announced the good news of their engagement, and the Yan family's company was revived.
Yan Xia knew that this was the value of her clinging to the Sheng family, something she had earned with herself and her self-esteem.
After Mr. Sheng’s birthday party, in the Sheng family’s small garden, Yan Xia, who was forced into a desperate situation by her family, cried and begged Sheng Yu to give her a chance.
As long as the news of their marriage comes out, the Yan family will survive.
She doesn't want anything and won't interfere in anything about Sheng Yu.
As long as the Yan family overcomes this crisis, she will divorce him and will never usurp the position of Mrs. Sheng.
That night, Sheng Yu was silent for a long time and agreed to her.
After that, their marriage was in name only, and their lives were no different from before. She just had to go back to the old house with Sheng Yu occasionally to have dinner with the Sheng family and attend group dinners with him.
They acted like a harmonious couple in front of others, but behind the scenes they didn't even live together.
But Yan Xia fell in love with Sheng Yu unknowingly.
She knew that this was her wishful thinking, but she just couldn't control her heart.
After that, Yan Xia began to treat Sheng Yu well, taking care of his daily life and integrating into his life.
But the obstacle between the two is more than just family background.
Sheng's mother did not approve of this marriage and was extremely dissatisfied with her as a daughter-in-law. Sheng Yu did not love her either. In his heart, she might not even be as good as a stranger.
But Yan Xia never thought of giving up. For love, she would do anything, even if it meant throwing herself into a flame.
Finally, after a long period of misunderstandings, setbacks and difficulties, Yan Xia finally moved Sheng Yu's cold heart. The two opened their hearts to each other and made a promise to stay together for life.
Ali's identity this time is the other party in the male protagonist Sheng Yu's long-term love affair, or should be said to be the other party in his marriage.
It was the winter vacation travel season and the line at the boarding gate was very long. Ali didn't want to squeeze with the others, so he lined up at the end of the line.
She is tall and slim, with thick long curly hair hanging down her back and simple pearl earrings adorning her ears. She is wearing a black short coat and blue jeans, with a brown scarf draped over her arm, looking smart and neat.
Fortunately, the queue was not slow, and Ali quickly arrived at the ticket gate. He handed over the ticket he had been holding in his hand and saw the name on it, Xiao Li.
She went to Xihai this time for work. After graduating from graduate school, Xiao Li went abroad and worked in a well-known foreign newspaper.
In recent years, she has paid attention to the illegal poaching and trafficking of wild animals at home and abroad, and plans to make a special report to call on people to protect wild animals and resist illegal animal products.
The destination of her trip is Jiangyuan County, one of the world-famous wild snow leopard reserves.
However, there are no direct flights from Qingzhou to Jiangyuan County, so you need to land in the provincial capital Xihai City first.
Ali checked the seat number on the ticket and walked straight to the first row of economy class, where the seats were more spacious and only separated from the business class in front by a curtain.
After carefully placing the stuffed backpack into the overhead luggage rack, Ali took off his coat and sat down, waiting for the plane to take off.
She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat to adjust to the jet lag, feeling a complicated and indescribable feeling in her heart.
Five years later, she returned to this land.
The last time, she left with scars all over her body, and she thought she would never come back.
The plane took off quickly and the stewardess's gentle voice woke her up, asking if she needed anything.
Ali opened his eyes, his voice still a little hoarse: "Please bring me a blanket."
Her voice was not loud and did not attract any attention in the slightly noisy cabin. The flight attendant leaned over and listened again, and soon brought her a blanket.
"Thank you." Ali said.
The estimated flight time was two hours and fifteen minutes. Ali covered himself with a blanket and soon fell asleep again.
This sleep didn't last long, and she was soon awakened by a violent shaking and a shrill scream.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention! Due to air currents along the route, our aircraft is experiencing turbulence. Please take your seats as soon as possible and fasten your seat belts..."
The lights in the cabin flickered, the fuselage sank suddenly, the overhead luggage compartment door made a "click" sound, and the oxygen masks suddenly fell down, swinging wildly in front of my eyes.
Panic quickly spread in the cabin. Ali's face turned pale. He clutched the armrest of the seat and tried his best to stay calm.
"Tell me, who will die first among us in the future?"
"Pah! Why are you saying such unlucky things? We haven't even had our first wedding anniversary yet, and you're already thinking about breaking up?"
"Oh, it just suddenly occurred to me while I was watching the drama. Don't be angry... Of course we will be together forever, but when we are all old ladies and grandfathers, one of us will have to go first."
"Ms. Xiao Li, I solemnly tell you that your husband will definitely not die before you. I will accompany you through your entire life, and it will be a happy and peaceful life..."
The wings shook violently under the tearing of the airflow, and a short scream came from the back seat. Ali couldn't help but bend her body, and the necklace around her neck hung down. She subconsciously held it tightly in her palm.
Perhaps because he was on the verge of death, crystal tears welled up in Ali's eyes, and scenes from the past kept replaying in his mind.
I will accompany you throughout your entire life.
We will be together forever.
But later, they all broke their promise.
Or maybe, she should die alone like this.
After an unknown amount of time, the plane finally calmed down. The flight attendant's slightly trembling voice was heard, and bursts of crying were heard in the cabin. Everyone's face showed relief at having survived the disaster.
Half an hour later, the plane finally landed.
Everyone's anxiety reached a peak at once, and they rushed forward in waves, not caring about the order in which they got on and off the plane.
As soon as Ali in the front row stood up, he was pushed forward by the passengers behind him.
She lost her balance and fell suddenly toward the aisle in front, with half of her body almost falling over the economy class cabin.
Just as she was about to be pushed down, a hand on the other side of the curtain supported her.
The hand was clean and slender, with distinct joints, and light blue veins were faintly visible under the fair skin.
Ali quickly stood up with his help. A curtain separated the two of them. She said, "Thank you."
The hand seemed to tighten and suddenly grabbed her arm, but when Ali looked over in confusion, he had already let go.
Ali didn't have time to confirm who helped her. The passengers behind her were still pushing forward eagerly. She staggered a few times and quickly took off her backpack and held it in her arms.
All of her precious equipment is in here, and she would be heartbroken if they were broken.

Ali came to Jiangyuan County this time to observe and record the living environment of snow leopards, and asked for half a month's leave from the company.
Because I was worried that my long absence from home would affect my observation efficiency, I signed up for a ten-day tour group in advance.
I heard that the leader of this group has many years of experience in leading snow leopard observation teams, and it is hard to get a seat in his group.
Fortunately, Ali was lucky enough to join in at the last moment, and happened to be the last position among the five people in this group.
It was already evening when the plane landed. Ali, carrying a bag and pushing a heavy suitcase, circled the airport parking lot five or six times but couldn't find a place for the tour leader to park.
This situation is so similar to the panic she felt when she first went abroad and had no relatives.
In the end, the team leader came personally to take her to the car and took her back to the B&B.
All members of this tour group will land in Xihai today, rest in the B&B for one night, and then set off for Jiangyuan tomorrow morning.
Ali forced himself to check in, returned to his room and fell asleep without even coming out for dinner.
The jet lag, the near plane crash, and the team leader's aggressive driving style not only made her carsick as expected, but also exhausted her physical strength to the limit.
Sleep till dawn.
Ali did not forget the departure time for the next day as instructed by the team leader. He set the alarm before going to bed, but he was still late when he finished packing and went downstairs.
Seeing the tour leader waiting by the car, she ran over shyly and put her luggage in the trunk.
"You're the only one missing." The team leader breathed a sigh of relief, opened the car door, and let Ali get in.
This is a nine-seater commercial vehicle. In addition to the driver and co-driver, the seats in the back are two rows of double seats close together, and a three-seater seat in the last row.
The heater was on in the car. A young couple was playing around in the double seat in the front row, and a man was sitting in the window seat in the back row, with his long legs crossed in front of him and a cold expression on his face.
The car door opened and all three of them looked over.
Ali's body temperature, which had just risen, dropped to freezing point in an instant.
She never thought that she would see him again in this life.
"I, Sheng Yu, am willing to marry Xiao Li, love her, and cherish her. No matter whether we are rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will always protect her and never abandon her until death does us part."
The boy in a simple white shirt had young eyes and asked her excitedly and nervously, "Ms. Xiao Li, are you willing to marry Mr. Sheng Yu?"
The girl opposite smiled happily and sweetly, not knowing what it meant to be sad. She whispered maliciously in his ear, "I do! I do! I do!"
Later, she sat in the cramped and damp rental house with a blank expression, her eyes filled with fatigue and weariness, and handed him a piece of paper: "Sheng Yu, let's get a divorce."
"I don't love you anymore."
Ali, who was outside the car, almost immediately thought of running away.
But the tour leader behind her was still urging her to get on the bus, and the girl in the couple also greeted her enthusiastically: "Sister, come on up, there is a seat in the back."
Ali thought that her face must look extremely ugly at the moment. She was extremely glad that she was wearing a mask so that others could not see her expression.
"Ms. Xiao, please get in the car quickly! We're leaving soon!" The team leader was still urging.
Ali didn't know how she got into the car. She moved slowly and didn't even dare to look up at him.
Before she could stand still, the man had already put away the sharp sneer on his lips, stood up, avoided her, and sat on the other side of the last row, cold and distant.
The corners of their clothes intertwined in the hot air without any collision, just like two parallel lines that once intersected and then separated.
Ali clenched his hands in his pockets suddenly, and his chest felt stuffy and painful.
Bitter and embarrassing.
