nAt Yuxiu Garden.

nThe light of the bedroom was switched off, it was a dark, silent night. The moonlight crept into the bedroom quietly through the slits between the curtains.

nNing Meng lay on the bed. She had mixed feelings.

n

n

nShe was not angry at Huo Beichen, but at herself.

nWhat was she thinking about? How could that man fall in love with her?

nShe had even promised herself that she would never care for Huo Beichen. And yet, why would she return to the mansion just because of what he had said that day.

nWhat did he think she was!?

n

n

nNing Meng covered her face with the blanket. She wanted to slap herself.

nShe forced herself to take deep breaths and suppressed the annoyance in her heart.

nHow useless!

nIn actual fact, they were just a married couple on the surface. There was nothing to be upset about.

n

n

nNing Meng thought about that when her phone vibrated again.

nShe picked it up immediately and realized that there were some messages from Qi Shan.

nQi Shan: Stupid girl! I’m telling you now, you’ve got no more chances.

nI’ve never seen the boss adore a girl like this. He was quite angry today but his anger disappeared when I told him to buy a gift for the girl he likes!

nBy the way, do you want to know what kind of gift the boss bought for her? A pair of diamond earrings! Each diamond is worth three carats and they’re from Cartier! They’re worth 2.19 million!

nNing Meng was outraged.

n

n

nHow frustrating!

nNormally, she would retort to that kind of message, but today, she just couldn’t find it in her to say anything.

nShe threw her phone aside and closed her eyes.

nDownstairs.

nHuo Beichen sighed when he saw that the light was switched off. His face darkened and he said to the driver, “Go home.”

n***

nThe next day.

nNing Meng woke up early in the morning.

n

n

nShe had not slept well the whole night, and so, her eyes were rather swollen.

nShe looked at her phone twice. She had only received a message from Zhen Shanmei other than those messages from Qi Shan. “How’re you?”

nNing Meng seemed all excited and energetic all of a sudden. She replied to Zhen Shanmei with a voice message. “No man will love a good woman! We cannot limit ourselves to only a man! The new man will not come as long as we don’t let go of the past! Who the hell is Huo Beichen? How could I abandon the entire forest just because of one tree?”

nShe was releasing her anger and said all these things to Zhen Shanmei.

nRight then, she heard a knock at the door.

nNing Meng walked over to the door and opened it, revealing the man who had just been scolded by her earlier. Why was he standing at the door?

nHuo Beichen was wearing a black suit that showed off his nice and tall body. The dark eyes below his short hair seemed rather cold.

nNing Meng stood up straighter subconsciously when she saw him, and she asked, “Why did you come here?”

nShe sounded unfriendly.

nHuo Beichen could not understand why Ning Meng was having a bad mood so early in the morning.

nIf anything, he was the one who should be angry.

nHe had returned happily to the mansion yesterday but had not seen her there.

nHe had come to meet her today just to give her a chance to apologize to him.

n

n

nHuo Beichen frowned, deciding not to be angry at her.

nHe took a gift box out from his pocket slowly and put it in her hand. “This is for you.”

nHis ears becoming slightly red, he explained, “I bought it casually.”

nNing Meng looked at the gift with mixed feelings.

nJust then, the door of the lift opened with a ding.

nZhen Shanmei appeared and she was looking down at her phone, listening to the voice message which Ning Meng had sent to her just now. As she was holding the phone in her hands, Ning Meng’s voice message was heard throughout the entire floor. “…The new man will not come as long as we don’t let go of the past! Who the hell is Huo Beichen? How could I abandon the entire forest just because of one tree?”

nHuo Beichen was stunned.
