Li Jingchen was silent.

He said in a hoarse voice that it should be next week as he was still a bit busy.

"Then you have to come back soon, mom misses you too!"

Li Jingchen's eyes slowly looked at Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong turned around and reached out to ruffle Yang's soft hair. You are the one who talks too much.

"Hehe, I'm going to go see Xiao Huihui, then you guys can chat, I won't disturb you anymore."

Jiang Mingyang ran into Xiao Huihui's room.

Li Jingchen looked at Jiang Tong in the video, his eyes were complicated, as if he had thousands of words to say to her.

Jiang Tong realized something and saw him pinching his brows with a tired look, so she walked to her room.

"Are you okay? Did something happen to you?"

"Why do you ask me that?"

"Nothing, I just thought you looked terrible, are you really okay?"

“……”Li Jingchen was silent.

Finally, he said calmly that everything was fine, nothing happened, he was just busy with work.

"You should take a rest and don't get tired."

"..." Li Jingchen fell silent again.

He said to Jiang Tong, "Close the door," because he wanted to talk to her alone and the children should not hear.

Jiang Tong's heart skipped a beat. He really had something to do, so she locked the door.

Sitting on the bed with the phone in hand. Ask him what's wrong?

"Break up!"

At the other end of the video, the man's magnetic and slightly hoarse voice came over.

At that moment, Jiang Tong thought she had heard it wrong, and her head buzzed as if she had been hit on the head.

"What did you say?"

"I've thought about it carefully these past two days, and I still don't have time to play those house tricks with you. There's no need for the ex-wife and ex-husband to fall in love again. There's no need to get to know each other again."

"Didn't you say that remarriage is the prerequisite? Or do you want to remarry directly?"

"...I don't want to remarry." Li Jingchen's voice was very calm, "I don't love you anymore, so there's no need to remarry."

"Oh ok, got it. Okay."

Jiang Tong actually didn't know what she said and hung up the phone.

It was as if I was shot with such force that I realized only later that the bullet had hit me in the back. Blood was already flowing out of my heart, and the tears I had been holding back finally fell.

Her face was covered with tears and she could no longer cry.

Neither of them is the type to cling to others.

As adults, we should learn to part ways in peace. Why bother to fight to the death?

She thought of giving each other a chance to get to know each other again. Since he didn't want to anymore, there was no need for her to do anything about it.

Should I thank him? At least he didn't drag her along. They had just confirmed their relationship, so clean and tidy, cutting the Gordian knot, just like their flash marriage, but that time it led to happiness, this time it cut off the possibility of happiness, and of course, the possibility of pain.

It's just this bed -

She couldn't sit any longer.

It seemed like just yesterday when they confirmed their relationship and they were so close. He kissed her and said that he wanted to feel her well today. He held her hand and interlocked their fingers.

I can't think about it anymore!

She went to sleep in Feifan's room tonight. Sheep was already asleep and didn't want to disturb her.

-

Jiang Tong left Fu Jiang Rose completely the next morning.

The driver took Sheep to the kindergarten. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but that she didn't have the energy to put on a smile in front of the child.

She needs at least two days of good rest.

Xu Miaomiao saw that Jiang Tong’s face was very pale, grabbed her wrist and asked her what was wrong?

"Nothing, I'm just going to a meeting." Jiang Tong forced a smile.

"You must have something wrong. Don't hide it from me. Is it Li Jingchen again?"

"no--"

"You don't have to hide it from me, I know it's him."

Jiang Tong pinched her palms and felt very painful, but she said to Xu Miaomiao lightly, "We broke up."

"what?"

Xu Miaomiao was furious. "What is he doing? Didn't you just tell me that you two wanted to try each other out? Is he teasing you or playing with you? I'll go find him—"

"No."

Jiang Tong grabbed Xu Miaomiao's wrist.

"You don't have to look for him. We have a special relationship. The relationship between ex-wife and ex-husband is very awkward. And I was the one who took the initiative to pursue him. I said I would give him three days to think about it. He thought about it for one day and then answered me. I think he felt it was too fast and didn't think it through clearly, so he was on a business trip and thought about it for another two days. This is just right. I don't blame him."

It's better than being dragged behind.

It was so refreshing, at least she thought it wouldn't hurt that much.

"Don't say good things for him. He's just playing with you. Is he taking revenge on you for divorcing him or for hiding the fact that you had a secret relationship from him? I'm really impressed. Why is he holding a grudge like that? It's been such a long time, but he's still holding a grudge. How can he be so narrow-minded to take revenge on you like this?"

"He's not that kind of person. He can't possibly take revenge on me. Don't think of him like that."

"You——!" Xu Miaomiao was so disappointed with Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong was fooled by Li Jingchen! Jiang Tong, wake up.

Why are you still speaking well of him?

"He's not that kind of person. I know his character. He probably doesn't love me anymore and doesn't want to start over with me. It's okay, I understand. I accept this answer."

"But--"

"It's nothing but I was too naive. I wanted to start over with each other. How could it be possible for an ex-wife and an ex-husband?"

Jiang Tong was very calm this time.

Xu Miaomiao was very unconvinced and angry and wanted to beat Li Jingchen up.

"Forget it. Why should we beat him up? There's no need. We are not children. There is no point in fighting. I can handle it as an adult. I have two children. He doesn't owe me anything. So let it be."

They both maintained their dignity, but pretended that the warmth and affection no longer existed.

Xu Miaomiao hugged Jiang Tong and said, "Okay, I respect you! Tongtong, cry if you want to."

"I'm really fine. It's no big deal."

But Jiang Tong's eyes were still red.

Maybe it's the wrong time to fall in love?

If I had seen what he wrote in Nanshan earlier, if I had agreed to remarry him when he was still determined to do so, if I had not hidden the matter of the child from him, if...

Looking back again, you have already missed it. It's like a number line. One person walked left and the other walked right. When the other person suddenly turned around and walked right, he realized that he could no longer catch up with the other person.

No one will wait for you there, and the same goes for him.

Jiang Tong pushed Xu Miaomiao away and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

This time, it was not so painful, at least it was better than the last misunderstanding when he ran away.

At least this time they were both calm, and she knew that he didn't love her anymore, so there was nothing to be sad about.

In the evening, Jiang Tong returned to Ziwei Garden alone.

As for Fujiang Rose, Xu Miaomiao has already gone there. Xu Miaomiao will find a good excuse for Jiang Tong to tell Ming Yang why Jiang Tong didn't come.

Jiang Tong returned to the bedroom and placed the jade bracelet that Li Jingchen had given her on the table. She would return it to him when he came back.

The doorbell rang suddenly...
