Mu Yao’s expression froze, and she was in a daze.

Lin Zhan.

Was he coming back? The gentle big brother in her memory.

Lu Jinchen saw her expression.

He stepped on the brakes.

“What’s wrong? Feeling guilty? Didn’t you leave resolutely for him? Mu Yao, do you even have a heart? We’ve been married for three years. Is your heart made of stone?”

The rain was getting heavier.

It was accompanied by lightning and thunder. It was like the sky was going to be torn apart.

Mu Yao felt as if her heart had been torn in half. It was bloody and filled with pain.

Every time she thought of what had happened on the day of the divorce, she would feel pain.

“Lu Jinchen, I’ve seen many scumbags in my life, but I have never seen someone as scumbag as you.”

Mu Yao wanted to open the car door, but it was still locked.

“Lu Jinchen, if you let me go, I’ll let you go too. We’re even now.”

Lu Jinchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his expression darkened.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Mu Yao had already gotten up and pressed a button on the driver’s seat.

The car door opened, and she rushed out in the heavy rain.

Lu Jinchen was sitting in the car when he heard the door open and close.

That was the only sentence that kept repeating in her mind. “We’re even now.”

How could he let Mu Yao go? Impossible!

The heavy rain was still falling.

Lu Jinchen thought of the thin clothes Mu Yao was wearing and cursed in a low voice.

He took the umbrella and chased after her.

But it was still too late.

Cars came and went in the heavy rain.

Lu Jinchen couldn’t find Mu Yao.

Lu Jinchen stood in the heavy rain and felt a sense of powerlessness he had never felt before.

It was just like the day Mu Yao left.

After Mu Yao left the Lu residence with her suitcase, Lu Jinchen sat in the living room for the whole night.

When the sky was almost bright, Lu Jinchen only took a short nap.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Mu Yao’s busy figure in the kitchen. In his half-awake state, he saw a heart-shaped cake on the table.

He remembered that yesterday was their wedding anniversary.

She seemed to have left…

Lu Jinchen was jolted awake from his dream and ran upstairs immediately.

Everything in the bedroom was neat and tidy.

However, Mu Yao was nowhere to be seen.

He opened the wardrobe full of clothes he had bought for her.

Mu Yao didn’t take a single item with her.

Lu Jinchen opened the drawer and saw that the jewelry was neatly arranged. He had carefully chosen them for her.

She didn’t bring any either.

The ring he bought for her was on the top layer of the jewelry drawer.

They had bought each other’s wedding rings. Lu Jinchen still remembered when he put the ring on Mu Yao’s finger.

Mu Yao had the happiest smile.

She said, “Once you wear it, you can’t take it off for a lifetime.”

She said, “We’re going to be together forever.”

He remembered that smile. He remembered the curve of her lips.

He wanted to see that smile for the rest of his life.

But she left.

It turned out vows are all lies.

…

By the time Mu Yao got home, her clothes were already drenched, and it was impossible for her to go to work.

She called and asked for a half-day leave.

Then, she took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and made herself a bowl of ginger soup.

Just as she lay on the bed, her phone suddenly rang.

Mu Yao took it and saw that it was her aunt’s.

“Yaoyao, Little Mango is having a fever.”

“Ah?” Mu Yao quickly sat up. “Is it serious?”

Her aunt would not call her if it were just a slight fever.

“A little. It started yesterday afternoon. I thought it wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t call you. Little Mango is in the hospital now. Yaoyao, can you find a time to come back?”
