The sound of seconds spinning filled the living room.
"Madam, it's almost dawn, don't wait any longer," the servant Zhang Ma advised reluctantly.
Beside the sofa, the woman was thin, wearing only a plain white nightgown and sitting quietly.
The dim light illuminated her pale, almost transparent profile, with a hint of hazyness.
The chapped lips opened and closed, "He said he would come back."
He said it.
Xiao Muyu kept repeating this sentence in her heart.
"But..." Zhang Ma was still about to say something, but the next second the door was opened.
"Click."
The crisp sound of opening the door came, and Zhang Ma said excitedly, "It's sir who is back!"
Xiao Muyu looked back and saw that familiar handsome face with sharp edges and corners, showing a bit of coldness.
It’s He Jinchao.
It's her husband who's back.
He smiled instantly and quickly stood up to greet him.
Probably because the movement was too violent, and she had just maintained one movement for a long time, her body swayed slightly and she almost fell.
"now……"
She called his name with joy in her voice.
But faster, she saw a petite figure behind He Jinchao.
It’s... Cube Tang, He Jinchao’s first love in college.
Xiao Muyu lowered his eyes and looked at the two people's intertwined hands. The smile full of hope froze on his face. His whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and his limbs and even his soul were frozen to pieces!
While petrified, I heard He Jinchao's deep voice again, "You go down first."
These words were obviously meant for Zhang Ma.
Zhang Ma looked at the three people in front of her and probably knew what was about to happen, so she lowered her head and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people standing facing each other in this huge space.
Seconds keep moving, time passes minute by minute.
The air seemed to be filled with the tension of a horror movie climax.
Fang Tang spoke first, breaking the dead silence in the room.
"Today...how about I leave first?"
While speaking, she gently shook He Jinchao's hand, and looked at He Jinchao lovingly with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
He Jinchao lowered his eyes and looked at her, his deep black eyes showing tenderness and care, "It's not you who should go."
These words fell into Xiao Muyu's heart, as if he was being pressed down by a huge boulder, and even breathing was difficult.
Sure enough, she soon saw He Jinchao looking towards her.
In an instant, he became extremely cold, without any affection, as if he was looking at an insignificant stranger.
"You can move out."
Without a word of hesitation, Xiao Muyu was sentenced to death.
At that moment, she only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and the world turned into black and white.
She didn't know how she came back to consciousness, she only heard her own voice in a trance.
"Why... why?"
The meaningless rhetorical question is like the last desperate struggle of a drowning person.
He Jinzhao frowned his slender eyebrows in displeasure, "This house was originally prepared for Tangtang, you should know."
Ah……
Xiao Muyu twitched the corner of his mouth gently.
Of course she knows...
After so many years, he could never forget the sugar cube.
She once thought that her love could impress him, but she was too naive after all.
How can you warm up a heart that doesn't belong to you in the first place?
In the silence, Fang Tang's voice came again.
"Mu Yu, don't blame Jin Chao. I am pregnant with Jin Chao's child. He is also worried that I live outside alone and cannot take care of myself and the child, so..."
The soft and weak voice fell to Xiao Muyu's ears, causing her head to buzz in shock.
Unconsciously, she raised her eyes and saw Fang Tang reaching out to caress her belly, as if he was showing off some trophy.
Only at this moment did she know what it means to feel the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows...
Perhaps because she was also a pregnant woman, she slightly raised her hand to caress her belly, but she gritted her teeth and held back.
The reason why she had to wait until He Jinchao came back tonight was because when she went to the hospital in the afternoon, she learned that she was two months pregnant.
She wanted to tell him in person that she was pregnant with his child.
It's a pity that this joy has already been poured out of my heart before it even started.
"I..." Xiao Muyu opened his mouth, but before he could continue, he was ruthlessly interrupted by He Jinchao.
"What? No? Or do you plan to stay and be a servant?"
Those aggressive words completely shattered the last trace of attachment Xiao Muyu had for him in her heart.
Before she could say anything, Fang Tang pulled He Jinchao again, "Don't be like this, Mu Yu is your wife, and I should be the one who should leave..."
As he said this, Fang Tang lowered his eyes, and the crystal tears fell down as if he wanted no money.
He Jinchao suddenly felt extremely distressed, "What kind of wife? She is just your substitute. Don't worry, Tangtang, I will definitely give you and our child a birthright."
That gentle tone ended the next second when he turned to look at Xiao Muyu, "This is the divorce agreement. The alimony will be to your satisfaction. Leave here at dawn!"
Then Xiao Muyu saw a document thrown at his feet.
Looking up again, He Jinchao had already disappeared out of the door with Bai Yueguang hugging him.
The living room once again regained its previous tranquility.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Muyu leaned over to pick up the divorce agreement from the ground and turned to the last page.
On the signature line, there are three big characters written: He Jinchao with flying dragons and phoenixes.
I don't know why my vision became blurry.
She remembered that when they got married, he also signed something like this...
In a blink of an eye, they were divorced.
Did time pass too fast, or was their fate too shallow?
Zhang Ma waited until there was no movement in the living room before she dared to come out. Then she saw Xiao Muyu squatting motionless on the ground, and immediately ran over anxiously, "Madam?!"
She touched Xiao Muyu lightly, and Xiao Muyu fell to the ground like a broken ceramic doll.
Xiao Muyu bit her lower lip, saying nothing, and kept crying.
Zhang's mother saw that she was holding something in her hand, and when she saw the divorce agreement written on it, she immediately understood.
She has seen how kind my wife has been to her husband over the years.
This is really unexpected...
Zhang Ma held Xiao Muyu in distress and cried, "Madam, don't be sad, it's all over, it's all over..."
The last line of defense in Xiao Muyu's heart finally collapsed at this moment.
She burst into tears.
"I feel so much pain...I don't want to love him anymore, Zhang Ma, let's go...let's get out of here..."
"Okay, okay, I'll call the master right now..." Zhang Ma kept stroking her back, comforting her with a tearful tone.
Xiao Muyu couldn't remember how long she cried that day. She only knew that when she left, she looked back at the villa where they had lived for three years, and she could no longer see the outline clearly.
There was still drizzle in the sky.
Is even God lamenting for her that she spent these three years feeding dogs?
There were neighbors passing by, all talking about it.
"There seemed to be a quarrel next door last night? I heard there was going to be a divorce?"
"I've guessed it a long time ago! If my husband doesn't come back often, there must be someone outside!"
"This Mrs. He is also pitiful. She was kicked out like this. Alas..."
Before anyone could finish speaking, a Rolls-Royce stopped behind Xiao Muyu.
The driver quickly got out of the car and respectfully bent down to open the door for Xiao Muyu.
