Chapter

Qin Mo loved me for seven years, standing against both me and my family. He risked his life in a car accident to protect me.

I thought that we would love each other for a lifetime, growing old together.

But one day, I accidently discovered him holding a pregnant girl, telling his friends, "This is your future sister-in-law..."

I was stunned to realize he had long cheated on me. He would accompany her for prenatal check-ups, putting the ring he had promised would only be for me, on her finger.

Our mutual friends all knew he betrayed me but kept the secret from me.

With a broken heart, I left, terminated my pregnancy, boarded a plane to a foreign country on our wedding anniversary, leaving only a divorce agreement.

Qin Mo, mad as if he had lost his mind, tried to find my whereabouts, but he could never find me...

In a private hospital, I lay half-reclined on a hospital bed, a thick needle injected into the back of my hand, pouring Qin Mo's blood into my body drop by drop.

I have a blood clotting disorder, which requires regular blood transfusions every month. Qin Mo, who has the same blood type as me, insisted on giving me blood every month despite others' discouragement.

Come rain or shine, he's already been doing this for three years.

Everyone says that he deeply cares for me.

At this moment, he sat beside the bed, looking at my bruised hand with heartache, and gently kissed it. "After a bit more recovery, you'll be completely well and won't have to endure this anymore."

The nurses in the ward looked at me with envy. I just drop my gaze.

Envious, huh?

Qin Mo and I were indeed the most famous loving couple. We met in campus, where the self-assertive young man Qin Mo fell in love with me at first sight, and pursued me relentlessly despite our different family backgrounds.

For my sake, he openly defied his parents. Even when he was cut off financially and kicked out of the house, he didn't back down. At that time, he held my hand and made a solemn promise:

"Mian Mian, I'll surely marry you grandly."

He made his words come true. He started his own company while still in school, working tirelessly, sleeping only three hours a day. With his innate intelligence, the company quickly took off and grew strong.

By the year of our graduation, his company was significant enough to rival the Gu's family business, forcing Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to acknowledge and respect me.

As he promised, he gave me a grand, once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony, making me the happiest woman in the whole city.

After the wedding, he continued to treat me as before, bringing home flowers every day, surprising me with gifts, and unconditionally supporting everything I wanted to do.

Every year, he would hold a grand celebration for my birthday and our marriage anniversary.

Once, under a star-studded sky, he made a promise to me: "Qin Mo will love Shen Mian with his life, and will never change his heart."

Back then, he kept his word. In a freak car accident, when a van rushed directly toward us, there was no escape. At the crucial moment, he turned the wheel rapidly, moving his side of the car into the path of the van.

He faced death head-on, and saved my life.

But nothing in this world is constant. Even the deepest feelings will dissipate, and the most sincere promises can be broken.

The sweet and beautiful memories of the past make the present reality seem even more cruel.

Looking at Qin Mo, I see the ambiguous red marks hidden behind his slightly lowered neck—such a sight for sore eyes.

Qin Mo, how could you have changed your heart?

After the blood transfusion, he tenderly pressed down on the needle point for me, letting me lean on him as we walked out.

"I want to go shopping. You can go back to the office first."

Outside, I softly gazed at Qin Mo, my face tilted up.

"Okay, don't tire yourself out. I'll get off work early today, and I can go home to make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

Qin Mo took time to fix my clothes for me, his handsome face full of perpetual affection and patience.

I stood by the street and made sure his car was out of sight before hailing a car straight to the police station.

"Ms. Shen, are you sure you want to renounce your Chinese nationality? All your information will be erased in a month."

"I'm sure, I will be emigrating overseas soon."

I whispered. After submitting my application, I stepped out of the police station, looking up at the azure blue sky.

Qin Mo, I told you when we got married, if you betray me, I will make sure you can never find me again.

Now that you've betrayed me, we will never meet again in this lifetime.

I discovered Qin Mo's infidelity half a year ago, revealed intentionally by his mistress. When I saw the series of intimate photos, I knew he had split himself in half - one half to accompany me, the other half to be with his golden canary.

Probably because of his impressive time management skills, I hadn't suspected a thing.

With a bitter smile on my lips, I printed out divorce papers at the print shop and returned despondently to what was no longer a home.

When I woke up the next morning, Qin Mo cuddled me from behind and cooed:

"Mianmian, today is our wedding anniversary, I have a surprise for you."

"Sure, I'm curious about what you've prepared this year."

I respond indifferently, smirking slightly but with apathy hiding within my eyes.

Qin Mo, always so keen on sensing my emotions, fails to notice my lack of enthusiasm, and continues speaking with excitement.

As we were about to go out, he helped me put on my shoes and change my clothes, treating me like a child.

Despite countless attempts to reject his help, he was obstinate, grinning from ear to ear, stating that serving his wife makes him happy.

He blindfolded me and led me to a mansion. When I opened my eyes, my vision was filled with the blinding sight of roses all around.

Wrapping me in his arms he proclaimed, "My dear, I remember you once telling me how you dreamed of having your own rose castle as a child, living as a princess within. Today, I've made your wish come true. You're the princess, and I will be your knight forever."

I'm taken aback, realizing that he has turned a casual remark of mine into reality.

Tears well up in my eyes as I feel a bitter sting in my heart.

How, Qin Mo, can you gaze at me with such adoration even though your heart has changed? How can you still care for me so attentively?

Instead, it pierces my heart deeper.

"Don't cry. Aren't you happy?"

Seeing the tears welling up in my eyes, Qin Mo hastily held my face, gently wiping my tears away.

"No, I'm crying from happiness."

I shook my head lightly and led him on a leisurely stroll around the estate, strolling through the flower beds. It was as if we were in a fairytale.

In the heart of the rose garden, he delicately pulled out a rose carved from a pink diamond and placed it in my hand:

"This rose that always blooms, like our love, will continue until the end of life."

I looked at the delicate pink diamond, then at the deep love in his eyes, wanting to question.

Really?

In the evening, he sat with me on the hillside, watching the brilliant fireworks. However, he seemed preoccupied, occasionally looking at his phone. I pretended not to notice anything unusual and focused on the fireworks.

Brilliant and grand but brief, just like my marriage with Qin Mo.

That night, Qin Mo and I stayed in the castle. He personally cooked dinner for me while I sat in the living room watching TV. I happened to flip to a live broadcast and saw his pet canary named Bai Ling.

She was being hard-pressed by a cruel reporter.

"Miss Bai, there are rumors online that you have a sugar daddy. Is it true?"

"You've obtained so many resources within a year. Did you really earn all of them on your own?"

The young and pretty girl's face was full of deer-like panic, a stark contrast to the aggressive demeanor she had previously.

"Please step aside. I don’t have any sugar daddy. These are all false accusations."

She cried pitifully, but was blocked and unable to leave.

The sound of chopping vegetables stopped abruptly, and I instinctively looked towards the kitchen. Qin Mo was furiously typing on his phone, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. Upon a close look at his profile, I could clearly see his surging anger.

In no time, about a dozen imposing bodyguards boldly rushed into the encirclement, guarding Bai Ling out like a precious gem. The leading lawyer in a gentle, yet domineering tone, said:

"Miss Bai is our young mistress. As for the rumors on the internet, I, on behalf of my boss, will take full responsibility to pursue the matter."

"Gentlemen of the press, your reckless defamation is not very fitting for your profession. I hope to see your resignation declarations tomorrow."

His domineering and brazen protection for his wife excited all the netizens watching the live broadcast.

"The domineering CEO's doting wife, I can't get enough of it."

"My daughter is so lucky! Can anyone find out who her husband is? He must be a hottie."

My hand loosened on the remote control, I thought I wouldn't feel the pain after a few days' buffer. But why is my heart still hurting so much? All of a sudden, my face turned somewhat pale.

Young mistress -

His subordinate actually respectfully addressed her as the young mistress. Then what's my position?

The third chapter - The sound of the remote control falling alarmed Qin Mo, he dashed over in panic. Looking at my pale face, he asked anxiously:

"Mian Mian, where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital right away."

His expression was earnest and intense, clearly he was madly in love with me.

But that didn’t stop him from keeping a mistress behind my back.

In a daze, I found it absurdly humorous. Could a man really divide his deep affection between two people?

"I'm alright. I just got startled by a horror movie on the TV," I said, nonchalantly brushing his hand away.

After my incessant persuasions, Qin Mo finally gave up the idea of taking me to the hospital.

A table full of my favorite dishes was served. Qin Mo attentively peeled shrimps and picked fish bones for me. Yet his occasional text responses, and the affectionate flash in his eyes when he looked at his phone signaled his distractibility.

I silently watched and said nothing, just quietly enjoying the delicious food.

Only by evening could he no longer sit still. Using the excuse of having to work overtime, he rushed out, even forgot his usual habit of kissing my forehead before leaving.

Despite my hesitations, I decided to follow him by car. Initially, I was worried about being discovered, but later, he seemed oblivious to me, even when I was openly trailing behind.

His heart was clearly set on that canary.

His car slowly pulled over in front of a medium-scale residential community. I parked in a concealed spot, and helplessly watched as Bai Ling, clad in her thin pyjamas, flung herself into Qin Mo's arms. She pouted cutely, her face full of grievance.

Qin Mo's face was full of indulgence as he carefully held her waist and slipped off his blazer, draping it over her before carrying her princess-style into the building.

The lights on the sixth floor turned on, two ambiguous shadows entered my sightline. Right there in the living room, Qin Mo impatiently pressed Bai Ling against the window. Their two shadows melded into one. Just the thought of how over the past six months, Qin Mo had been touching my body after soiling his with hers...

"Ugh…"

I sat in the car, abruptly vomiting.

Disgusting, truly disgusting!

I closed my eyes, the entangled figures of the two stamped in my mind like a nightmare, impossible to shake off.

My face felt cold, and I subconsciously touched it, realizing that I was drenched in tears.

I thought of Qin Mo once saying he had a cleanliness obsession, that he would only ever touch me, one woman, in his life,

Now think of it, it's a monumental lie.

The next night, Qin Mo returned home weary, as usual bringing a bouquet of my favorite roses.

Usually, when he came home, I would be chattering about the day's trivialities, but now, I just sat on the sofa, somewhat listless, my fingers softly stroking a beautiful box.

Finally, Qin Mo sensed something was wrong. He carefully asked:

"Mian Mian, did I do something to upset you?"

Lowering himself, he looked at me with a pleasing expression, just like a tail-wagging puppy.

Every time he had showed this pitiful look in the past, I would soften and forgive him.

But not this time.

"I read online about a couple who had been loving for ten years. The husband still cheated. I'm just feeling a bit sorry for that woman."

I casually told a white lie, uttering it in a flat tone.

Qin Mo let out a sigh of relief and joked, "So that's it. Such a tragedy will never happen to you."

"Mianmian, you should know how much I can't live without you."

"You are my life."

I listened to his hearty assurances without rushing forward to be cutesy like usual. I just answered with a light smile.

After dinner, Qin Mo sensed something missing from the room. Our wedding photo was gone.

"Mianmian, where's our wedding picture?"

His inner unease was surfacing, and the anxiety was apparent in his shaky voice and flustered gaze.

Of course, I threw it away. Yesterday when I came home and saw our enormous wedding photo on the wall, it seemed like it was mocking me. I smashed it to pieces and discarded it.

"The nail on the wall was loose, and the picture fell and broke the frame. I had someone fix it."

I explained it off casually. Qin Mo believed it without a doubt.

Our relationship appeared to return to the sweetness of the past, but only on the surface.

I started packing slowly, waiting for the immigration application to be approved so I could leave.

When Bai Ling found me again in Chapter Four, I was not surprised. After all, she is eager to claim her throne.

In the secluded private room, she rubbed her belly arrogantly and said to me:

"I am carrying Qin's child, a boy."

"You, a spent hen who can't even lay any eggs, should concede your place early to avoid any drama in the future."

My heart froze in shock, feeling like it had broken into several pieces.

I have difficulty conceiving due to physical reasons. Qin Mo once held me in his arms, comforting me, saying he didn't like children, and that he only wanted me.

But now, another woman is carrying his child and has the audacity to confront me.

Pale-faced, I cling tightly to the table to steady myself, while my other hand cradles my belly, trying hard to remain calm:

"Being a shameless mistress, what gives you the nerve to taunt me in my own house?"

"Do you believe if I tell Qin Mo now, he could make you disappear from the entertainment circle?"

"Shameless? You old woman better stop deceiving yourself."

"Come over Saturday morning, you'll understand."

Hearing my words, Bai Ling laughed with a profound meaning. She handed me an address. Upon seeing it, I realized it was the resort owned by my mother.

Anticipating this to be a Pandora’s box, I still went ahead early morning.

I hid at the most inconspicuous spot, watching helplessly as Qin Mo, along with our mutual friends, held a barbeque party on the lawn.

A familiar car arrived and to my disbelief, Qin Mo appeared cheerfully, protecting Bai Ling. My friends even went over smiling, teasing:

"Young sister-in-law, you’re looking more and more radiant. Brother Qin, you sure know how to take care of your loved ones."

"Young sister-in-law, are you the one always coming up with new ideas?”

Faced with their teasing remarks, Qin Mo smiled, saying without any hesitation, “She's as soft as a fairy.”

"Brother Qin, so many people are still here!"

Bai Ling chided and playfully hit Qin Mo’s chest, but her eyes were full of conceit.

"The elder sister-in-law can't have children, right? Wait until the younger sister-in-law has her baby."

"Brother Qin, just admit you adopted from the orphanage. It would be convenient to keep the child close."

"The elder sister-in-law is learned and reasonable, and she would undoubtedly educate the child very well."

"We are opulent and influential, and have high status. How could we possibly have just one woman?"

"As long as you hide it well, the elder sister-in-law would never know for life. Let alone, your mother-in-law is on your side."

My blood seemed to flow counter-current, and I stood numbly in place, cursing myself for eavesdropping on these vile rumors.

The golden canary has been crossing the boundaries of friendship for long now; my mother was aware too.

Everyone knew about Qin Mo's infidelity but helped him hide it from me. I was kept blissfully unaware.

I assumed my life was blissful, and my marriage was fulfilling.

Such a big lie.

In a daze, I returned home, packed my documents with trembling hands, and placed the gift box containing the divorce agreement prominently on the coffee table.

Without any lingering, I decisively left.

Qin Mo, let us never see each other again in this lifetime.

Chapter Five

On the grassland, Qin Mo suddenly felt a sense of unease as if something important was leaving him. He furrowed his brows, pushing away Bai Ling who was clinging onto him, grabbed his car keys and left: "You guys have fun, I need to go back for a while."

He drove back to his villa, only to find decorators moving in and out, refurbishing his house. He felt a twinge in his heart and hurriedly approached: "Stop, what are you doing?"

The housekeeper was taken aback: "The lady said she wanted to redecorate the house, so she called the decorators."

Redecorate?

Qin Mo felt a lump in his throat. This villa was what he and Shen Mian decorated together when they got married. Why did she want to renovate it?

"By the way, the lady left something for you," the housekeeper announced.

Qin Mo quickly walked into the villa, which was now unrecognizable. He distinctly spotted an exquisite box on the coffee table.

He stood still, the panic in his heart growing stronger. It's as if it were a Pandora's Box, and opening it would unleash hell.

After hesitating for a long while, he ultimately decided to open it.

Then, he saw the divorce agreement I left behind, as well as a piece of paper with the name Bai Ling written on it.

Upon seeing these two items, Qin Mo's face turned pale. As clever as he was, he instantly realized that I knew about his affair.

So, I left decisively, leaving nothing behind for him to reminisce, even smashing our home.

His trembling hands dialed my number, which ended up being disconnected.

"Mian Mian, I was wrong, I was terribly wrong. Can you please come back?"

With his eyes tinted red, Qin Mo staggered outside, making hasty inquiries to all of our friends, none of whom knew where I had gone.

"Look for it, trace the Lady's whereabouts immediately," Qin Mo roared at his subordinates over the phone. A trembling voice came from the other end, "Mr. Qin, we couldn't find any information about the Lady."

"How could..."

His iPhone slipped out of his grasp as tears uncontrollably cascaded down his cheeks.

While Qin Mo was in a frenzy, searching for me, I had already arrived in Northern Europe. In order to avoid Qin Mo's pursuance, I had deliberately made several stopovers in different countries before finally settling in a small town.

This quiet little town in Northern Europe had a slow pace and serene environment, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Here, I opened a handicraft shop, spending my time leisurely while supporting my livelihood.

I deactivated all my modes of contact, leaving behind only one email address. Everyday, I received emails from Qin Mo, friends and my mother.

After a week of settling down, I managed to come to terms with Qin Mo's betrayal. But what I found unbearable was my mother's betrayal.

Knowing fully well that I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes, she still helped Qin Mo cover his tracks.

I silently stared at the email my mother had sent. Between the lines, it was nothing more than persuading me to stop being impulsive. I couldn't conceive a child, so it was convenient someone else could do it for me.

Why would I need to pick a fight with Qin Mo when he loved me to the bone?

I stared at the email, not sure how to respond. Not long after moving abroad, I discovered I was pregnant. Faced with this unplanned child, I pondered for a day and then ultimately decided to abort.

My mother, who divorced my father when we were children and raised my sister and me amidst adversity, I appreciated her for all her kindness. But I could never forgive her for her betrayal.

After considering my circumstances, I sent a brief email, telling her I was well and that I would never forgive Qin Mo.

Then, I deactivated my email account.

Chapter Six - "Mianmian replied."

Upon receiving my response, my mother eagerly opened the email. The dispirited Qin Mo immediately leaned in to read. After seeing the content of the reply, his eyes dimmed, he murmured,

"I have to face it, Mianmian will never forgive me."

"Why is she so stubborn?"

My mother frowned, and then continued: "The real question is, who let Mianmian know about this?"

"Weren't you the one who promised to protect Mianmian, to keep her from knowing about the mistress?"

"I'm looking into it..."

Qin Mo muttered. Just then, his phone buzzed. The investigation results had come in. It was Bai Ling who had intentionally approached me.

What followed were a variety of provocative words and suggestive photos. Qin Mo's hand trembled as he held his phone. These words were heart-wrenching to him, he couldn't imagine how heartbroken Mianmian would be upon seeing them.

His eyes were filled with regret and remorse.

He had always loved Mianmian so much, so why did he stray?

Perhaps it's because everyone around him had affairs, or because many people told him that it was normal as long as he had attained success and wealth.

More individuals began to whisper these words into his ears, leading him astray. When his friend offered him Bai Ling, he accepted.

Bai Ling was nothing like his dignified and steady wife. She was like a seductress entangling him, leading him deeper into obsession. All the types of tricks and games he wouldn't dare to do with his wife, he could do freely with Bai Ling. She would just look up at him adoringly with her big, round eyes, fully satisfying his male ego.

He had always been hopeful, believing that his wife trusted him completely and would not discover his infidelity.

But reality gave him a harsh blow, his recklessness caused him to lose his woman…

"It turns out it was this despicable woman who sought out my wife. I knew it was a mistake to let her grow so bold!”

His mother saw the news and began to curse Bai Ling angrily.

Qin Mo silently left and took some men to find Bai Ling.

Chapter 7.

Upon sighting Qin Mo, Bai Ling's eyes lit up with joy. She sauntered over to him and said softly, “Qin Brother, you’re here? The baby just moved, do you want to feel it?”

Qin Mo’s eyes were cold as he grabbed her jaw, icily questioning her, “Did you go to see my wife?”

“Did I not explicitly warn you not to disturb her?”

Bai Ling’s face instantly drained of color. She could not utter a word.

“Since you decided to harbor such ill intentions, you are no longer needed. I will take back everything I gave you."

"Even this child. You do not deserve it!"

"Please, do not harm this child. It's your own flesh and blood!"

"I didn't mean to do it, I just love you too much, Brother Qin. Please spare me this time," Bai Ling pleaded with wide, terrified eyes, tears streaming down her face as she desperately begged Qin Mo for mercy. However, he remained unmoved.

He glared at her with hate-filled eyes. If it weren't for her, Mian Mian would not have left him!

Bai Ling looked at Qin Mo's cold gaze in despair, then suddenly burst into a defiant laugh: "It takes two to tango, could I be by your side if you didn't have thoughts of being unfaithful?"

"You entertained the thought of being unfaithful, but you placed all the blame on me. Bah, you scum, it serves you right to lose your loved one!"

"Hahaha, I know women very well, Shen Mian would never forgive you!"

"Shut up! Mian Mian will return to me, she absolutely will!"

Bai Ling's words had enflamed Qin Mo. Enraged, he forcefully pushed Bai Ling to the ground. A sharp scream filled the air, followed by the nauseating smell of blood.

"My child!"

Bai Ling screamed pitifully, writhing and rolling on the ground. After Qin Mo sent her to the hospital, she had to undergo a miscarriage operation.

Before she was even discharged, a hefty bill was delivered to her detailing all her expenses - a staggering ten million, with a stern instruction to repay or face a lawsuit.

Seeing the astronomical bill, a still recovering Ling Bai became agitated, her wound reopened, resulting in another trip to the operating room.

Upon her discharge, she discovered she was blacklisted and had nowhere to go. Disguised, she returned to her village and disappeared entirely.

Chapter 8: I lived in a small town in Northern Europe for half a year, never imagining that I would run into Qin Mo again. He was wearing a black trench coat, looking gaunt, and gazing at me carefully.

"Mian Mian, I was wrong, I beg you to forgive me this once."

Looking at the pleading expression on Qin Mo's face, I bid my friend goodbye, then opened the door to let him in.

Witnessing my surprise invitation, a light of joy flickered across Qin Mo's tired face. But once he stepped inside, I handed him the divorce agreement once more.

"Please sign it..."

As Qin Mo stared at the divorce agreement I pushed toward him, his body jerked in shock. He pleaded with reddened eyes, "Mian Mian, I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

I regarded him with an emotionless gaze. After the past six months, I had completely let go of Qin Mo. Now, when I think of his betrayals, my heart no longer aches.

"Qin Mo, before we were in a relationship, I told you that I can't tolerate intellectual disability and I can't stand betrayal."

I caressed the water glass, "You promised me that I would always be the only one."

"You betrayed your vow, so I left you, just as I said I would."

"Let's make this decent. A clean break."

"But I can't, I really can't, Mian Mian."

Qin Mo stared at me in agony, his tears finally falling, "Without you, I don't know how to live on."

"But you're still alive, aren't you?"

I said indifferently, unmoved by his tears.

After drinking the water, I gently pushed the water glass. It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. I pointed at the glass and said, "Our relationship is like this broken glass. Even if it's fixed, the cracks will still exist."

"With the passage of time, it will crack open again."

Qin Mo remained silent, as if his silence could somehow delay time.

Looking at the stubborn Qin Mo, I sighed deeply. Looks like I'll have to move again.

Politely asking Qin Mo to leave, I began to research the next suitable city to live in.

Chapter Nine: After being kicked out, Qin Mo kept standing in front of my house as if he could somehow atone for his sins in this way.

I only glanced at him from the window, then pulled the curtains. Qin Mo stood on the street, watching my cold demeanor, his heart filled with sorrow.

Mianmian really doesn't care about him anymore!

During the following days, Qin Mo shadowed me like a clingy plaster wherever I went. His handsome features drew a lot of attention, and consequently, I was also noticed.

"What on earth are you trying to do? Can't you go back to your country?"

I couldn't tolerate it anymore and asked coldly.

"Will you go back with me?"

Qin Mo asked tentatively.

"I've told you, you and I will never be possible!"

I was a bit exasperated, "What would you think, what would you do, if I were to look for another man behind your back?"

"I will kill that man..."

Qin Mo blurted out wordlessly, his fists tightly clenched, his eyes spewing out a murderous intent.

"Look, you can't even endure betrayal, why should I forgive you?"

I looked at his furious face and found it a bit humorous.

"I'm living a good life now, I don't like you disturbing me."

"Qin Mo, for the sake of the love we once had, please spare me."

"I don't want to hate you."

Gazing serenely at Qin Mo, I slowly spoke.

At the sight of my cold eyes, Qin Mo finally admitted what he had been reluctant to acknowledge - I truly no longer loved him.

His eyebrows knitted tightly together, feeling a painful ache in his heart as though it might suffocate him, he looked at me as if begging for mercy, hearing his heart break.

"Fine, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Thank you."

Graciously thanking him, I turned and walked away.

The next day, sure enough, Qin Mo did not appear before me anymore. Instantly, the air seemed much fresher, but soon, I discovered him hiding in the shadows.

Taking a deep sigh, I hastened my pace in finding a new home.

One early morning a month later, I left the small town with my light luggage.

Perhaps going on a global journey isn't a bad idea.

The next day at daybreak, Qin Mo, as usual, was hiding in the floor facing my property watching me, but he kept waiting and the door did not open.

Growing anxious, Qin Mo once again came to my small shop, but discovered that inside, the handmade items that were once packed in here had disappeared. The house was eerily empty.

Where is Mian Mian?

His body wobbled twice, and Qin Mo immediately went to look for the landlord. The landlord informed him:

"Are you looking for that young girl? Her lease ended today, and she told me a month ago that she wasn't going to renew."

"She probably moved out last night."

A month ago...

Qin Mo stood diligently on the street, a bitter smile on his face. It was a month ago that he arrived.

So Mian Mian had planned to move out at the time he came looking for her.

She had really carried out the words she once said.

If there's betrayal, we will no longer meet in the remaining years of our life.

He really regretted it, but alas, there is no such thing as a second chance in this world. For the rest of his life, he could only live with deep regret and loneliness.

The End.
