After Ji Junlin finished speaking, he looked at Tang Miao, his eyes trembling. Tang Miao looked through Ji Junlin, as if looking at him, but also as if looking at someone else. Her expression was still calm, and there was no change from when he just finished speaking. Ji Junlin's eyes were fixed on her, and he said, "We can still take a different path than the one we have chosen now, right?"
They can take a path other than the one they are taking now.
He could separate from Ke Yi, and Tang Miao could separate from He Xiao. They couldn't continue to live like this.
After Ji Junlin asked the question, Tang Miao did not find the naivety of his question funny. Perhaps for her, any words or decisions made by Ji Junlin would not cause her any emotional fluctuations.
Tang Miao looked at Ji Junlin. She didn't make any movement. She just spoke to him in a plain and straightforward manner.
When Tang Miao denied his problem, he thought that maybe Tang Miao just hated him, hated his infidelity at that time, and even everything she did now was to avenge his past infidelity.
But after Tang Miao finished the last two sentences, Ji Junlin felt that everything had indeed changed. Tang Miao's feelings for him, the feelings between Tang Miao and him, were like paper that had been burned through by fire, and they all fell apart with a pinch.
Burned paper cannot be restored. Even if you can still make out the patterns and words on it before it was burned, it is no longer the same paper as before. It will break if touched, and will scatter if the wind blows. Even the patterns and words on it will disappear completely.
Tang Miao's life now is like a new newspaper, with the headline of her marriage, the testimony of her and her husband's love, and the photos of her and her husband.
Tang Miao's newspaper, which was once full of everything about him, now has no trace of him. The only thing left is, perhaps in the corner, a note that Tang Miao accompanied her husband to attend his cousin's engagement party, and he was the groom of his cousin's engagement party.
Whether it was his ten-year relationship with Tang Miao or everything between him and Tang Miao now, it all seemed like a dream.
The feeling in his dream was not real. He seemed to have emptied his consciousness and watched the development of the plot as if he was watching an absurd drama.
In his conscious state, he gradually realized that he was also a part of this absurd drama. His emotions fluctuated as he recalled the past plot. He asked Tang Miao this question, and after asking, he looked at Tang Miao in a somewhat ridiculous way, his eyes tightened, as if he was approaching her.
"We've been together for ten years. How could you go so fast?"
Ji Junlin seemed to be questioning her.
After hearing Ji Junlin's questioning about their relationship, Tang Miao remained calm. She looked at Ji Junlin and said, "Aren't you pretty fast too?"
"You were the one who left first," said Tang Miao.
Tang Miao calmly told Ji Junlin the reason for the change in their relationship. She did not accuse him of anything in her words, but simply stated that it was he who started it all.
This was more painful than her scolding him.
She had really let it go. So when she talked about her relationship with him again, she didn't feel any sadness at all. It was just like telling a story, and reminding him appropriately when he was dissatisfied. After the reminder, she had nothing to say.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, Ji Junlin looked at her and fell into a long silence.
His emotions were too complex to be revealed, in his eyes, and through the way he looked at her.
He is in great pain.
Although Tang Miao didn't know why he was in so much pain.
He had everything he wanted, career, money, and a bright future.
He took this step on his own initiative to gain all this. Now he shouldn't show such sad emotions like a victim.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, she looked at Ji Junlin, who was also silent. But she didn't look at him for too long. When Ji Junlin was still not ready to speak, she prepared to take the coffee and leave to continue reading in the garden.
But before she could move, Ji Junlin's words came out of her mouth.
"I don't love her."
After Ji Junlin finished speaking, Tang Miao stopped and looked at him.
Ji Junlin's eyes were still on her. Behind the countless emotions, there was an irresistible love surging out. Tang Miao looked into his eyes, seeing his surging love, she pursed her lips slightly.
"I love He Xiao very much." Tang Miao said.
Tang Miao talked to Ji Junlin about her feelings for her husband. After that, Tang Miao said to Ji Junlin.
"Because he's much better than you anyway."

The old lady played mahjong all night last night, and when she was urged by the housekeeper to rest, she was later than usual. After lunch today, she chatted with Tang Miao over flower tea, and when she went to take a nap, she was also later than usual.
Although she had less rest time than usual in the past two days, the old lady woke up earlier than usual. After taking a nap for half an hour at noon, the old lady opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
The rest of the elderly cannot be compared with that of the young. They sleep lightly, and when they are awake, they are almost fully awake as soon as they open their eyes.
After waking up, the old lady looked at the time and found that she had gotten up earlier than her usual nap time. After looking at the time, she got up and left the bedroom.
Usually when the old lady was resting, the housekeeper and the servants were also resting. So when the old lady got up, there was no one in the huge house. She had just gotten up and felt a little thirsty. Because there was no one in the house, the old lady didn't call anyone else, so she went directly to the tea room.
The lunch was a bit heavy, and the old lady woke up early, probably because she felt thirsty. In the future, even if she indulges herself, she shouldn't eat such heavy flavors. She is old, so she should pay more attention to herself.
After leaving her room, the old lady walked down the carpeted steps, thinking about health issues as she walked. She walked slowly and lightly, and because she was a little absent-minded, she only regained her consciousness from eating less heavy food when she reached the door of the tea room.
As she pulled her hand back, the old lady's hand that had fallen on the door handle of the tea room stopped there.
When Tang Miao smiled at the old lady, the old lady asked this question. After the old lady asked, Tang Miao raised her eyes from the book again, she looked at the old man, and the old man also looked at her, with only calm inquiry in his eyes.
After that, she had to leave the tea room. She couldn't stay in the tea room with Ji Junlin for too long because it would be weird.
-
And when Uncle Zhou found out, he would naturally tell grandma.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After the old lady finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled indifferently and said, "I will also let Ah Xiao help me with some things."
"I hope you won't do anything as stupid as you did now."
But the tone is different.
"I heard from Lao Zhou that Junlin is here?"
After she said the above to Ji Junlin, Ji Junlin did not speak again. Regardless of whether he spoke or not, Tang Miao did not continue to talk to him, and took the coffee cup and left the tea room.
"That should be it."
Ji Junlin left.
"He said he was here to get something for Ke Yi. I was feeling a little sleepy, so I went to the tea room to make some coffee, and that's when I bumped into him."
"I can't possibly forget!"
"Then he said he was looking for something. I realized I couldn't help him, so I made some coffee and came back."
"Yes."
"I like this one, too," said grandma.
Although the voices were very low, the old lady could tell that they were not the housekeeper or servants. On the contrary, because she had seen them together yesterday, she could recognize that the speakers were Ji Junlin and Tang Miao even in such a low voice.
The door of the tea room was ajar. Even if the two people's voices were very quiet, they would be heard. Fortunately, grandma was resting at this time, Uncle Zhou and the servants were not there, and the whole house was empty.
"Please."
After Tang Miao left the tea room, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of his grandmother's room on the second floor. The door of his grandmother's room was closed. After Tang Miao took a look, he withdrew his gaze and went to the garden.
After hearing what grandma said, Tang Miao smiled at her.
The sound of the car gradually faded away and could no longer be heard. Tang Miao lowered his eyes and put his hand back on the book.
The two spoke in low voices.
"I'm scared."
"You're up." Tang Miao smiled when he saw his grandmother and stood up from the rattan chair.
The old lady was open-minded and her words were pleasing to the ears. After hearing what the grandmother said, Tang Miao laughed along with her and nodded.
After what happened just now, she was not sleepy even if she hadn't drunk coffee. Tang Miao sat on the rattan chair and read a book, flipping through the papers in her hands.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, grandma casually said this. After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "That's how Ke Yi is. She always likes to order Junlin around."
Not long after, the sound of a car was heard outside.
-
Tang Miao returned to the rattan chair in the garden and continued reading.
There's someone in the tea room.
"You don't know how scared I am of losing Xiao."
"He should have left not long ago, right?" Tang Miao said to his grandmother, "I heard the sound of his car leaving just now."
"But so what? I don't have any feelings for you anymore. To me, you are just the fiancé of my husband's cousin. I love my husband very much. So I have been hiding our past from him. I am worried that if grandma or He Xiao finds out, it will create a rift between me and He Xiao."
When Ji Junlin drove over, the driver would definitely know whether Uncle Zhou was there or not, because he had to help park the car. After helping park the car, the driver would definitely tell Uncle Zhou, so it was not surprising that Uncle Zhou knew Ji Junlin was coming.
Ji Junlin became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his suppressed voice rose a little. Before his voice became louder, Tang Miao's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him as if warning, and interrupted him with a word.
Because the door of the tea room was not completely closed, the faint voices of conversation inside could be heard through the half-open door.
After hearing her question, Tang Miao handed the book over and said, "Take a look at it."
"You are husband and wife, so it's only natural for you to help each other." Grandma said with a smile, not minding that she ordered her grandson around.
Tang Miao had been at home the whole time, but Ji Junlin didn't know when he arrived.
Judging from their behavior yesterday, it seemed like they had just met for the first time yesterday, but now hearing the voices coming from the tea room, it seemed like it was not just that.
Tang Miao looked at her grandmother, then smiled and said, "Yes."
"Sit down." Seeing Tang Miao standing up, grandma came over and said to Tang Miao with a smile. After that, grandma also walked under the parasol and sat on the rattan chair on the other side. After sitting down, grandma came over and asked, "What book are you reading?"
"I don't love Ke Yi."
This is a Brazilian novel about a woman who lives under the shadow of her ex-wife after marrying her husband. Tang Miao thinks this novel is quite interesting. The heroine regards herself as a substitute for her husband's ex-wife, and the whole novel is about how she walks out of this shadow.
Tang Miao and Ji Junlin said a lot of things in a row.
"I think I was together with her because I was overwhelmed by reality. Now I think about the days I spent with you every day. We have been together since we were sixteen, Tang Miao, there is no way you can forget." Ji Junlin said.
After Tang Miao read for a while, her grandmother woke up from her nap. She went to the tea room to get a glass of water, and then went directly to the garden. Hearing the sound of the garden door opening, Tang Miao turned around. Her grandmother smiled at her with a cup of water and said, "Lao Zhou said you were reading here."
Tang Miao's tone was as light as hers, with a hint of warning and negotiation. Ji Junlin, on the other hand, was much more excited, as if he was accusing her, but also begging her.
