Chapter 767: Side Story: little liar

“Why would I quit my job?” the autumn wind in the capital was strong and hot. Huo ningxin looked up at him and suddenly asked curiously,”if it was Huo niannian here today, would you have asked her to quit her job?”

Most humans loved pain, and the specific symptoms were licking mouth ulcers, pressing blue and purple bruises, and the stupidity of asking the obvious.

Huo Sicheng took out a cigarette from the box, lit it, and stared at her with cold eyes. “What do you mean?” he asked.

He asked her in an impatient tone, as if he was talking to an unreasonable woman.

After all, Huo ningxin was his wife. Even if he didn’t want to marry her, she was already Mrs. Li. In that case, he shouldn’t be like a jealous woman who always competed with outsiders.

“Huo ningxin, don’t mess with me. We had an agreement before we got married. ”

That’s right, they had made a promise before marriage. She had happily married off, thinking that they were a match for each other, but all she got in return was a sentence,”it’s fine if you want to be a rich wife. After marriage, we’ll play on our own and not interfere with each other.”

The carriage was silent, mixed with the smell of tobacco.

Huo ningxin smiled. Her face was pale.”Yes, I remember everything.” She raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were red, but her voice was numb.”But brother Sicheng, didn’t you break up with Huo niannian? Why did you stay with her at the waterside pavilion in the South?”

Li Sicheng also looked at her, his eyes cold.”You investigated me?”

Huo ningxin shook her head.

Huo Sicheng stared at her for a long time.”From the moment you married into the Li family and got this marriage, you had no choice.”

“Yes, I’ve always understood, Si Cheng.”

She replied very obediently, but for some reason, the more she heard, the more ear – piercing it felt. The cigarette burned his skin, and Li Sicheng lost interest and threw the cigarette out of the window.

“Huo ningxin, don’t mess around with me,” he said as he reached out to hug her.

Huo ningxin frowned. The wind blew past her ears, and it was bone – chilling.

Seven days ago, in the same car in front of the hospital, she wondered if he had done the same thing to Huo niannian, holding her in his arms with extreme gentleness.

She thought.

I won ‘t, li Sicheng. I met you, fell in love with you, and diligently protected this marriage that existed in name only for seventeen years. It has consumed all my energy.

I don’t have the strength to love you anymore.

——

——

Li Sicheng was the heir of the Li family, and he liked to show off his luxurious things.

From expensive watches to expensive cars.

When Huo ningxin went to work the next day, her colleagues in the company saw her and immediately burst into an uproar.

“Here, Mrs. Fu is here!”

“Sigh, some people work to survive, while others work to kill time!”

“I say, Xin Xin Zi, your husband is so rich. One car is enough for me to work for three lifetimes. Why are you still working?”

“That’s right, he’s handsome and rich. It’s Xin xinzi’s first time working overtime and he’s here to pick him up. Your husband must love you very much. I don’t care, you have to treat everyone to a big meal tonight!”

Huo ningxin pursed her lips. She was paid 10000 Yuan, but she had to treat guests worth 5000 to 6000 Yuan. Her heart ached, but could she refuse?

The happy marriage in the eyes of outsiders was just like drinking water for her. She knew what was going on. Li Sicheng’s RV was all his things, and she was eager to have something of her own. Even if it was only a 40 square meter building, she felt happy. She was no longer lonely like a ghost in this city.

Soon, the employees in the company dispersed.

Huo ningxin went to work on Fu Jiang’s documents as usual.

Just half an hour later, the phone in her hand suddenly rang.

Huo ningxin picked up the call.”Hello.”

“Auntie, it’s Fu Zhi. Where are you now? Nan Li had just fainted! He saw the hot search on Weibo today. Many people are scolding you for being the third party who steals other people’s marriage! After seeing him, his emotions became unstable and he directly vomited blood. The doctor is treating him now, but I remember the doctor saying that brother Nan Li’s emotional outburst would hurt his brain. Will something happen to him, Auntie!”

The anxious voice on the other end almost came through the phone! At that moment, Huo ningxin felt her blood boiling. The scene that she was trying to maintain peace was suddenly torn apart by an invisible hand. Huo ningxin’s first reaction wasn’t heartache. Her mind went blank. Two seconds later, she stood up and asked with a trembling body,”Zhizhi, what did you say happened to Nan Li?”

“She was so emotional that she hurt her nerves and fainted. Auntie, on Weibo, Huo niannian is saying that you stole her marriage. Everyone’s blaming you.”

“Weibo?” Huo ningxin’s hands trembled as she rummaged for her jacket. Just as she was about to run out, she saw her colleagues who were still working looking at her in disbelief.

“Ningxin, did you see the comments online? The netizens are saying that you were adopted by the Huo family and you’re ungratefully snatching away the marriage of their real daughter. Is that true? Are you really little San?”

“How did your husband end up in the same apartment as the Huo family’s daughter? The two of them are even hugging?”

“This must be fake. Your husband just came to pick you up from work last night. How could this happen?”

“Huo ningxin, are you really the cruel and unscrupulous person that the netizens said you are?”

It wasn ‘t.

No!

Huo ningxin shook her head helplessly. Some colleagues raised their phones. On the Weibo page, there was a video of li Sicheng sending Huo niannian back to the waterside pavilion. There was also a short essay on Huo niannian’s five – year relationship that had been interrupted by someone.

“At first, the video of President li hugging a woman was released on Weibo, and everyone thought that this person was Mrs. Li. They didn’t expect the fashion designer from Country m, Huo niannian, to come out and explain that her fans pitied her. So, ningxin, is what she said true?”

Was it important? Did it matter whether it was real or not?

When the video was posted, li Sicheng did not find anyone to delete it. Huo niannian posted her essay, and her parents and Li Sicheng did not point out her lies on Weibo.

Look at you, Huo ningxin, how pathetic you are!

How could you live such a failure?

The mist in her eyes blocked her from looking at everyone’s expressions, but those gazes were always fiery, like her disappointed biological parents, making her feel like there was a dagger on her back.

She rushed out of the crowd and stumbled all the way to press the elevator button.

“AI, ningxin, where are you going?”

He left resentfully.

Yingying wanted to leave this place.

It started to rain heavily in the capital.

She ran all the way to the door and accidentally bumped into a black figure.

While the world was spinning, someone raised his hand and quickly pulled back his crying face.

“I’m sorry,”she said. Huo ningxin sobbed as she lowered her head.

“It’s okay.” The person’s eyes were gentle and almond – shaped. She restrained herself and helped her up. Before she took her hand out, she stuffed a black umbrella into her hand.”Take it. It’s raining heavily outside.”

Huo ningxin didn’t have time to look at him carefully. She felt like she had seen this face somewhere before. She thanked him and quickly took a taxi to the hospital.

There was a faint peach fragrance in the air.

Fu Chao slowly tied his bow tie and glanced at Fu Jiang, who was smiling lightly.”What were you doing just now?”

“What?”

“I saw it. When she ran out with her head lowered, you deliberately bumped into her.” Fu Jiang didn’t want to go anywhere on such a wide road, but he chose the road that Huo ningxin had run out from. “Also, I know her. She’s our high school classmate, the little girl who always followed li Sicheng.” Why did you hit her?”

Fu Jiang adjusted the gold – rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.”If I don’t hit her, how am I supposed to help her?”

Fu Chao was confused.”???”

Are you crazy?

Are you any different from the loafer who pulls the hair of other girls in kindergarten?

“Silly. You’re so pushy. ” Fu Chao scolded him.

However, he paused and continued,””I told you before that I felt like something was missing around me. Do you really not feel the same way?”

“A little.”

“Then what do you think is missing? I really can’t remember. I don’t know why, but I’m starting to like children more and more recently. I don’t even find other people’s children noisy. ”

“Do you think that I had a one – night stand with someone a few years ago and had a group of lost pearls outside?”

Fu Jiang pursed his lips.”What novel have you been reading recently?”

“Nine babies in one baby. CEO daddy came to find you.”

“……”

No wonder.

——

——

By the time Huo ningxin arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already examined li Nanli.

“It’s a little strange. It doesn’t feel like it’s caused by emotional agitation.” It seemed like some medicine had been used, but the blood test couldn’t detect anything. The doctor could only say,”if the patient saw something that stimulated him before he fainted, it could theoretically cause him to fall unconscious.” However, his body’s indicators aren’t too bad. He was lucky this time, but I can’t guarantee the next time. ”

“Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor.” Huo ningxin saw the doctor off. As soon as she closed the door, she started crying as she looked at her son on the bed.

“Auntie.” Fu Zhi called her from the side.

“Yes, Zhizhi.” Huo ningxin wiped her tears and forced a smile at her.”Thank you for your trouble today. I didn’t handle my personal matters well and caused you to send Nan Li to the hospital. I’m sorry for the joke.”

Fu Zhi shook her head. Her hands still had the strong smell of Chinese medicine. She put her hands behind her back and said,”Auntie, don’t say that.”

He paused for a moment and continued,”I’ve seen the comments on the internet, but I know that there are some things that make a Tiger out of three people. I believe in auntie’s character.” Also, I heard that Huo niannian hurt someone the other day. The murderer is still out there, and the only ones injured are you and Nan Li. Auntie, crying won’t solve your problem. If you don’t do it, Huo niannian will do it again soon. Do you want to see your son get hurt again?”

Yes, Huo ningxin didn’t want to.

But what could she do?

All these years, she had explained to her parents and Li Sicheng countless times, but all she had received was …

“Auntie, I can help you. I’ll help you make your parents regret, your husband regret, and make Huo niannian disappear from your world. Do you need my help?”

Huo ningxin looked up in disbelief.

——

——

November was a bright and beautiful month.

It had the coldness of winter, but the sun was high up in the sky, warm as usual.

Li Changgu’s divine power was recovering well.

At the beginning of the month, the Huo family and the Li family released an official statement.

She denied the internet’s claim that Huo niannian was the real heiress of the Huo family.

It also revealed the fact that Huo niannian’s biological parents had raised Huo ningxin in the countryside.

Fu Zhi only moved her fingers and sent the recording of Huo niannian’s face and the proof to the Huo family’s elders. The two elders had already broken down.

In his memory, Huo niannian was a sensible and obedient child that they had raised.

But now, Huo niannian’s ferocious face in the video reminded them of the past. Every time ningxin and niannian got into an argument, she would always look like she was wronged.

As for her parents, as soon as they thought about how their child was adopted by Huo niannian’s parents, they couldn’t treat it as a mistake. Rich people always thought more than others and felt that this was a conspiracy.

They began to regret trusting a stranger instead of their own daughter.

In order not to be criticized behind their backs and make people think that they didn’t want to adopt a daughter because they had a biological daughter, they completely hurt their biological daughter’s heart for the sake of their face.

As parents, most of them felt that “all parents are right,” so they vented all their emotions on Huo niannian.

Huo niannian had no other choice but to beg li Sicheng.”Sicheng, you’ll help me, right?”

She begged the man like a mad woman, but all she got was a cold smile.”Huo niannian, I thought we had nothing to do with each other ever since you drugged me and went abroad.”

“Besides, I’ve already made it clear to you in the car that day.”

For the first time, Huo niannian realized that Huo Sicheng knew everything.

After all, he had been with Huo ningxin for 17 years. How could he not know what kind of person she was?

His sarcasm and his unwillingness to get close to Huo ningxin was nothing more than him feeling that falling in love with Huo ningxin was more embarrassing than when he once said that he would never fall in love with someone like her.

She pretended to sprain her ankle on a rainy night, and when Huo Sicheng helped her put on her seatbelt, she deliberately glanced at Huo ningxin, who was standing at the entrance of the hospital.

Huo ningxin lowered her head and stared at the bluestone steps in front of her.

She felt extremely carefree.

Huo ningxin shouldn’t have returned to the Huo family in the first place. As soon as she came back, her parents, who originally belonged to her, began to love this wretched girl. Even li Sicheng had been paying attention to this little girl when he was not paying attention.

If he didn’t love her, why did he just resist his family and accept the fact that he was married to Huo ningxin?

That was why he felt guilty towards Huo niannian. He felt guilty for not keeping his promise to marry her.

She had been involved with Huo Sicheng for a long time because of this promise, which was enough to make Huo ningxin crazy and fragile.

But so what?

Huo niannian thought viciously,”you were the one who seduced Huo ningxin when she was at her most helpless. Now that she has her parents” love and the whole world pities her and gives her love, will she look back at you?”

——

Everything was settled.

With the guilt of the Huo family, li Nanli had the capital to settle down.

Huo ningxin was very grateful to Fu Zhi. “I’ve never laughed so happily before,” she said over the phone. I’ve also fantasized countless times that someone would come to save me and tell me the truth on my behalf when I can’t explain myself. ”

“I used to hate Huo niannian, my parents, and … But now that things have come to this, I suddenly feel that the person I hate the most is the person in my memory who kept trying to please li Sicheng and lost herself because of love.”

“Lstan is a beautiful city. I’ll be back before Nan Li’s exam. ”

She wanted to find her past self, who was indomitable and determined to do what she liked.

——

——

Li Sicheng didn’t know that Huo ningxin had taken the latest flight and left. He didn’t even know that Huo ningxin had drafted the divorce agreement.

He only found out about it when he returned home in the evening after a drinking party.

His stomach was very uncomfortable, and because of the alcohol, his mind was not clear enough.

Old master Li was scolding him. You’re always out of the house, and I don’t know who you learned this habit from!”

“What’s that on your collar? Did it get stained with another woman’s lipstick? Those who know that you’re going to discuss business, those who don’t know would think that my son is going out to sell his body!”

Old master Li only came to the Li family’s old residence eight or nine times a year, and every time he came, there would be a huge commotion.

The servants in the villa were all terrified.

They all looked in the direction of the kitchen, but that seat was empty. Other than mother Wang, who was cooking The Hangover soup, there was no familiar figure.

Where was Mrs. Huo?

In the past, whenever old master Li scolded Mr. Li, she would always come out to resolve the dangerous atmosphere. After all, she was very good at talking and had a sweet mouth, especially when dealing with a strange old man like the old master. When the old master scolded li Sicheng, she would definitely come out and change the topic by saying,”hey, why are you angry? I didn’t see any wrinkles on your forehead. Why did one just appear? You can’t be angry anymore, or you won’t be the youngest among your comrades. ”

At this moment, old master Li would wave his sleeves. He was clearly very happy, but he still kept a straight face and said, “I’m really the most handsome one in this group?”

When Mrs. Huo was still around, they didn’t think that she could do anything when she praised the old man like that. But now that she was not around, they felt that the old mansion was terrifying.

Old master Li was getting on in years, and he was tired of scolding loudly for a long time. He couldn’t help but wonder where his daughter – in – Law had gone. If she hadn’t come to hold him back, he would have been thirsty from all the scolding.

He simply waved his sleeves and left.

Huo Sicheng sat on the sofa and massaged his eyes and brows. “Where’s Huo ningxin?” he asked a question that his Grandpa didn’t manage to ask.

Everyone looked at each other.

In the end, it was still mother Wang who spoke.”I don’t know. Madam hasn’t come back for three days. She didn’t pick up her phone either. Maybe she’s busy at work.” Why don’t I try calling her to ask?”

Li Sicheng originally wanted to tell her that there was no need to call and that she would come back after she had calmed down enough. But after a pause, he changed his mind and said,””Go and ask.”

Some time ago, he had sent Huo niannian to the waterside pavilion in the South. On the way, they had been caught by a paparazzi from a third – rate newspaper. Huo niannian had accidentally fallen and he had raised his hand to help her up. It was the paparazzi who had taken the opportunity to make it look like he had his arm around Huo niannian’s waist.

He knew that Huo ningxin was sensitive about Huo niannian’s matters and had not replied to his messages for a few days. However, he was too lazy to explain. He thought that she would come back once she calmed down, so he didn’t take it to heart.

After a while, mother Wang came over with a bowl of hangover soup, a little embarrassed.”After Madam transferred me a sum of money three days ago, she seems to have blocked me. I tried to call her, but the line was blocked.”

Li Sicheng was stunned.

Mother Wang tried to probe.”Why don’t you give her a call?”

Li Sicheng called Huo ningxin’s number, and the line was also occupied.

Li Sicheng realized that he had also been blocked by Huo ningxin.

He couldn’t send any messages on WeChat, and no one picked up his messages.

Huo ningxin seemed to have disappeared from the city.

Mother Wang said worriedly,”Madam won’t not come back, will she?”

Li Sicheng stared at her.”You really want her to come back?”

Mother Wang nodded subconsciously.”Sir, you don’t know, but Madam is a very good person and always takes everyone’s feelings into consideration. Every time you come back, she’ll give me a day off and personally cook for you … We’ve all received her kindness.”

However, things were different now. Madam had left, and they might never meet such a gentle and kind mistress again.

Li Sicheng’s face was cold. He returned to his room and tried to add Huo ningxin on WeChat again. Huo ningxin had blacklisted him many times before, but in the end, she would just come up to him and add him back with a smile.

However, this time, he didn’t receive any news from Huo ningxin for two months after the new year.

He couldn’t explain what he was feeling at this moment, but li Sicheng knew very well that his heart had indeed contracted and he was panicking.

——

Li Sicheng knew better than anyone how much Huo ningxin liked him.

During the three years of high school, Huo ningxin had countless suitors, but she would always be by his side.

Huo ningxin liked him, but she didn’t have the courage to write him a love poem. She would come to the classroom early to buy him breakfast.

He would usually throw these high – calorie breakfasts into the trash can and remind her,”don’t bring these junk food to me again. Stay away from me.”

In front of more than 50 students in the class, she blushed. Someone said loudly,”tsk, tsk, tsk, a country bumpkin is indeed a country bumpkin. An adopted daughter still wants to snatch a real daughter’s marriage and fly up to the branches to become a Phoenix? Look at what cheap things she’s eating, one Yuan’s soy milk and fifty Yuan’s youtiao, made of gutter oil? Who would dare to eat it at such a cheap price?”

The entire class was laughing at her.

Huo ningxin’s face turned red, and she became the biggest joke in the class. Carrying the label of a country bumpkin on her body made it a great sin for her to like someone.

Li Sicheng frowned and coldly looked at his classmates mocking her. She thought that this was good too. It was a burden to be liked by someone she didn’t like. It was great that Huo ningxin knew how to back off.

He thought that this matter would soon pass as a small interlude, but in the end, he did not know how it alarmed the Dean, who said that Huo ningxin was going to get into a relationship at a young age and that it would affect li Sicheng’s studies.

That morning, the head of teaching came to the class angrily. He thought that Huo ningxin was just an adopted daughter who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth and scolded her loudly,”why don’t you take a look at your own grades? you dragged the whole school down!” Don’t think that just because she’s adopted, she’s a rich young lady. Can’t you study hard and make your adoptive parents proud? You even learned to write love poems! Don’t tell me that you’re really lusting after li Sicheng?”

There were mocking smiles all around.

But this time, the girl with a soft personality suddenly gathered her courage and said,””I do like him. He’s good – looking and he’s good at studying. Dean, can’t I like him?”

That year, the wind blew on the Willow branches, and the Willow leaves fell to the ground.

The young girl’s voice was choked with sobs, but her tone was extremely firm.”Everyone has the right to like someone. Don’t I have that right?”

The adoration of a young man should be the most beautiful emotion.

It probably triggered some of the soft memories of some of the students in the class. Gradually, some girls no longer isolated the girl and hung out with her.

She had become bright and beautiful. The capital’s environment was nourishing, and she had become more beautiful. The only thing that had never changed was her love for him.

After that, he went to university.

The two families decided to put his relationship with Huo niannian on the agenda.

However, he didn’t know why he didn’t confess to Huo niannian even though he had promised to end their relationship after the college entrance examination.

Huo niannian’s college entrance examination results were terrible.

Huo ningxin, on the other hand, got into the same university as him.

She knew that he wasn’t with Huo niannian, so she asked him carefully and clumsily,”will you consider me?” Will you like me one day?”

He wouldn ‘t.

He was certain that what he needed was a wife who stood on the same level as him, a wife who had a circle of friends with nobles and an average mindset. She wasn’t a girl who could make a fool of herself anytime and anywhere just because of what she was wearing.

A few years after she found out about his attitude, she gave up on her favorite painting and specially signed up for etiquette classes to learn how to behave.

She knew that he liked Huo niannian’s violin, so she quickly signed up for the violin team.

At that time, the Li family was in chaos, and the brothers were trying to cheat each other. She understood his difficulties, so she went to learn about finance.

She consoled him,”it’s alright. I believe in you. You’re definitely the best.”

Then, in the last few days of Midsummer, she asked him,”I’ve learned everything. Will you like me?”

Of course not.

He thought to himself, I didn’t like you from the beginning, so how could I be touched and feel sorry for what you’ve done for me?

He looked on coldly as she became uneasy because of his words.

In the second year of University, the Li family fought even more fiercely.

He decided that he had to confirm his relationship with Huo niannian. Only then would he be able to secure his position in the Li family.

On the day of his engagement with Huo niannian, his eyes swept over the little girl squatting in the corner with red eyes from crying.

Her lips moved slightly. She wanted to say her best wishes several times, but in the end, she choked and swallowed them.

At that moment, he did not notice that his eyes were slightly red.

——

His third and fourth year of University was his busiest period of time. He was immersed in work all day long. Huo niannian felt that he didn’t care enough for her, but he also felt that Huo niannian didn’t understand him enough. The moment their beautiful love entered society, cracks appeared and it was on the verge of collapse. One day, when the building was about to collapse, he was forced to drink a lot of alcohol by his partner and was sent to a bed.

His thoughts were in a daze as he touched the delicate skin on his body.

He opened his eyes and saw a familiar face. The difference was that, compared to the weak face he had seen in the past, the person on the bed had fallen asleep with her eyes closed. She was completely naked, and her white skin made his body burn with an unknown fire.

Everything that happened after that was logical.

During this period, she woke up once and cried out in pain. She reached out to push him, but he pressed her hand over her head as if he was determined and coaxed her,”be good. It’s going to be soon. Don’t cry.”

Huo niannian was timid, but her heart was evil.

She only dared to drug li Sicheng once. In fact, he had already woken up after the first time he vented. However, he still pressed her down on the bed and bullied her for the whole night.

He said he didn’t like her, but once he touched her, he had an addiction that he couldn’t get rid of.

He was too proud to admit it, so he followed Huo niannian’s words and gave himself an excellent way out.

It was often said that the way two people got along at the beginning would determine how they would get along in the future.

They didn’t have a good start, so he always ignored the feelings he had for her.

After that, he received a call from his Secretary. The other party said,”Madam left you a letter before she left. She’s in the office. Would you like to come and take a look?”

Li Sicheng’s heart tightened, but he was relieved for no reason.

By writing a letter, did it mean that she had told him where she had gone and that she was going to come back?

However, when he opened the letter, there was only a divorce agreement inside.

Li Sicheng finally realized that Huo ningxin was not throwing a tantrum at him. Unlike the past, this time, she really wanted to leave the world where he existed.

She was no longer the cautious girl she was when she first came to the Huo family at the age of 17 or 18, and she was no longer full of love for him.

She had seen the vast sky, so she would not lower her head to look at the scenery at the bottom of the well.

Before li Sicheng was about to sign a contract with the Jiang family, he broke his contract at the last minute and took the nearest flight to lstan.

This was the first time he had given up on such a big order so willfully.

Fu Corporation had picked up the scraps.

Fu Chao comforted Jiang Tian.”The Li family is shameless and dare to look down on the Jiang family. However, the fu Corporation is very sincere. Once we sign this order, I will remember your great kindness in my heart.”

Only then did Jiang Tian feel better. He said,”little Fu, you have a bright future. In the future, when you have more business dealings and if you have a daughter, you can get engaged to my son. We’ll be even closer.”

“Good, good, good!” Good my ass!

Fu Chao agreed verbally, but he was thinking in his heart, is the son of a dissolute old dog worthy?

None of them were good!

When I have a daughter, I’ll definitely make Fu enterprise bigger and make my daughter the family’s breadwinner for the rest of her life.

——

When old master Li learned that li Sicheng had gone to lstan to look for Huo ningxin, he didn’t say anything. He only hoped that li Sicheng would find Huo ningxin.

It was drizzling that day.

Li Sicheng was wearing a casual sweater and dragging his suitcase.

He passed by a small shop selling wind chimes, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

What did he see?

Huo ningxin put her hand on a man’s arm.

What is Huo ningxin doing?

Didn’t you say that you only like me?

Liar!

——

The rain in lstan came without warning.

Huo ningxin was in a bad mood when she came out of the mall.

She looked at the couples around her who were holding umbrellas for each other and thought to herself that she really did not get along with the rainy season.

Her beautiful newly bought cheongsam was about to be drenched by the rain, and she was a little reluctant to part with it.

At this moment, a black umbrella suddenly covered her head.

Huo ningxin looked up and saw the man’s face clearly.

The other party’s skin was porcelain white, his eyebrows were sharp, and his entire face was as handsome and good – looking as a ghost’s axe. He was wearing a green shirt, which inexplicably matched the green cheongsam she was wearing.

“We meet again, Huo ningxin,”

The other party said her name with a smile.

His voice was low and magnetic, and his beautiful and gentle peach – shaped eyes made her instantly think of something. She said uncertainly,””Fu Jiang?”

“Yes.” It’s hard for her to remember my name.

Fu Jiang’s eyes swept over the figure who was approaching leisurely not far away. He raised his hand and said,”there are many stone roads in this area. The rain has covered the stones. It’s not convenient for you to wear high heels. Let me help you walk.”

——

Li Sicheng stood in the distance, looking at the two of them with red eyes.

But in the end, he didn’t rush over to ask.

He still remembered Fu Jiang’s face.

Compared to the faces of his high school classmates, which were already blurry, the only thing he could remember was Fu Jiang, who had expressed his goodwill to Huo ningxin.

As a man, he naturally knew how much Fu Jiang liked Huo ningxin.

After all, she was so good, gentle, and beautiful.

She was a young lady that many boys secretly liked and wanted to cherish.

He had followed them all the way.

She watched as Fu Jiang walked Huo ningxin to the door with a smile on her face.

Finally, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. Before she opened the door, he grabbed her hand.”Huo ningxin.”

He called her name and was about to ask her about her relationship with Fu Jiang when he heard the other party ask him,”li Sicheng?” What are you doing in lstan? Have you signed the divorce papers?”

“An agreement? why should I sign an agreement? You’re my wife, why should I sign an agreement for you to leave me and hug another man?” Moreover, he’s wearing a long green robe and wants to stand by your side.

Huo ningxin slapped him across the face.

It was raining heavily and the cold wind was piercing. Li Sicheng could smell the sweet blood on the corner of his mouth.

“Hugging someone else is something that you, li Sicheng, can do. Li Sicheng, I’ve liked you for more than 20 years. I liked you so much that everyone knew about it. I liked you so much that I gave up on myself. You liked the violin, so I went to learn it. You had a bad stomach, so I personally cooked medicinal meals to nourish your body. You said that you wanted a well – educated girl who could take care of your family for you. I even gave up my dream of painting. I, Huo ningxin, have only ever truly loved you in my life. I have never let this relationship become dirty or tainted. But there’s a limit to liking someone. If you don’t get a response, the love that you’ve been supporting will dry up one day. ”

Huo ningxin closed her eyes and said tiredly,”In the past, I also thought that I would love you for the rest of my life, even if I didn’t get a response from you. But now, I realize that I can’t do it. ”

“Sign it. See, I’ll set you free and let you learn not to love you anymore. Why are you still clinging to me?”

Li Sicheng felt a metallic taste in his throat. As if he could not understand her words, he muttered,”set me free and no longer love me?”

He saw her clear eyes, so beautiful that there was no love in them.

“I don’t believe you,” li Sicheng said through gritted teeth.

Huo ningxin had liked him for so long, how could she just give up? She must be lying to him, wanting him to apologize to her.

He tried to find some clues from Huo ningxin’s eyes.

But there was none! There was nothing!

The pair of eyes that would only silently look at her now reflected everything, including his tiny self.

“Don’t do this, don’t do this to me. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have sent Huo niannian to the waterside pavilion. I’ve been cold to you. It’s my fault. Should I apologize to you if you’re angry, or … Or do you want to hit me or scold me?”Huo yunshen said. That’s right, ningxin, hit me. If you vent your anger, we’ll go home tomorrow, no, tonight, okay? I don’t like lstan. Let’s go home and I’ll go to another city with you, okay?” There was a Fu Jiang in this city that he didn’t like, which made him feel cold, scared, and trembling.

Huo ningxin could feel his fear. Even the fingers on her waist were trembling. The last time he had lost his composure like this was the day old Madam li passed away. He was also aggrieved and afraid like a child.

However, things changed with the passage of time. Huo ningxin touched her heart.

The heart that had been beating violently for li Sicheng had long been silent.

She could no longer feel any love for him.

After leaving li Sicheng, Huo ningxin could finally return to her original self, becoming bright and happy.

She raised her hand to push li Sicheng away.”Let go of me first.”

Li Sicheng’s eyes brightened.”Then, have you forgiven me?”

“I’ve never blamed you,” Huo ningxin sighed, and under the other party’s bright eyes, she slowly said,””What should I blame you for? It’s been one – sided from the beginning. You like Huo niannian so much. If it wasn’t for me, you two would have been together a long time ago. ”

No, that’s not it!

Li Sicheng’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley. He held Huo ningxin’s waist tightly, trying to feel a trace of warmth.”Don’t say that. Please, don’t be like this. There is no Huo niannian, only you. Huo ningxin, I only have you!” What do I have to do for you to believe me? tell me, I’ll do anything for you, alright?”

He was breathing heavily, and his tears soaked Huo ningxin’s shoulder.

Huo ningxin bit her lip and shook her head.”Other than signing the divorce papers, I don’t need you to do anything for me.” Li Sicheng, when I was pushed down the stairs by Huo niannian and Nanli almost miscarried in my stomach, I wanted you to help me. But I know that as long as I have a dispute with Huo niannian, you will only believe her words. That’s why I didn’t say anything when you came to see me the day Wang Ma sent me to the hospital. ”

“I was wrong, I know I was wrong.”

“During the three years of high school, the rainy season was frequent. I would give you an umbrella every day and watch you open it to shield Huo niannian from the rain. I followed behind you all and braved the rain to return home. Sometimes, I’m envious. Why am I not the one you cherish? why must I be so lowly? Just like in September last year, when it rained like this in the capital, you brought her to the waterside pavilion. I was caught in the rain the entire way, and when I got home, I had a fever, but I knew that I couldn’t collapse. Nan Li is still in the hospital, and he’s seriously ill. I have to go and take care of him. ”

Huo ningxin said,”do you know what I was thinking when Fu Jiang held the umbrella for me just now? The husband I’ve loved for more than 20 years has never held an umbrella for me, not even once. The man whom Huo niannian secretly likes, a stranger, has held an umbrella for me. ”

“From the looks of it, I’m not that much of a failure, am I? I’m not that disgusting?”

The more she said, the more afraid li Sicheng became. He bent down and begged her,”don’t be like this. Don’t hate me.”

“I don’t hate you, li Sicheng. I just feel that I’ve been following you for so long that I’ve forgotten that I’m also a girl and that I need other people’s love.”

That was why she said,”sign the agreement before I completely detest the fact that I love you.”

“I still have to leave for the rest of my life. You know that my parents feel that they owe me a lot. They will give me a lot of money, and I can spend money to buy a lot of love and a beautiful face. Li Sicheng, you can’t be so selfish.”

That night, Huo ningxin shook off his hand and closed the door.

Li Sicheng was squatting on the ground.

He felt like he was going to die from the pain. The pain from his heart almost made him faint.

He knew that Huo ningxin was not joking.

It was not that he could not see a person’s love clearly.

Huo ningxin no longer needed him.

On the other hand, he wanted to forget, but he clearly understood that there would never be a second person in his life that he would like and then lose.

——

It was March.

Outside Chang Hong junior high, a willow tree sprouted.

Li Nanli ran from home to find Fu Zhi. He was about to go to the Army, but this time, for some reason, li Sicheng disappeared after dealing with all the matters of the Li Group. The right of inheritance became his, and his uncle had been dealt with by li Sicheng.

His life was no longer dangerous. He stood in front of Fu Zhi and thought of the script he had prepared. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fu Zhi say,”Li Nanli,”

“What?”

“I heard two days ago that Auntie and my dad … And I, no, Fu Jiang, are in a relationship. They might give birth to a younger brother or sister for you. By then, you won’t be lonely anymore, right?”

Fu Zhi asked him in a very gentle tone. For some reason, li Nanli suddenly panicked.”Why do you say that? I won’t feel lonely if you’re around. I’m tired.”

“But I won’t always be here.” Fu Zhi raised her hand and touched li Nanli’s eyebrows.”I also wish to always be with you, but I can ‘t, li Nanli.” I’ve touched the laws of this space and time, speeding up the development of some things and changing the trajectory of some things. The laws no longer allow me to appear. I should go back. ”

“But it’s a good thing that you’ll forget me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to bear to, li Nanli.” I can’t bear to leave you like this, I can’t bear to not be able to accompany you.

But I can only accompany you for a short period of time.

“Fu Zhi, why are you so stubborn?” li Nanli raised his hand in a panic, wanting to pull the young girl in front of him. However, the next moment, the Willow catkins flew and the young girl standing in front of him suddenly disappeared.

A gust of wind blew through the treetops.

The young man stood under the willow tree and looked around in confusion.

Why was he standing here?

“Ding dong!”

He followed the sound and saw a silver ring that had fallen by his feet.

He bent down to pick it up. The ring was still slightly warm.

“Strange.” He touched his heart, not understanding why his heart hurt so much when he saw the ring.

——

Guangyuan year 2034,4 am.

Li Nanli got up from his dream.

Fu Zhi was sleeping on her side on the pink pillow, breathing softly.

He pulled up the blanket for his wife beside him and gently kissed her eyebrows.

Then, he walked to the study room.

He pulled open the second drawer and found a dark silver ring.

The ring seemed to have been there for a few years, but it was well – preserved and had not turned to dust.

He picked up the ring and touched the edges of the ring with his warm fingertips.

She thought of the love she had never expressed in her youth.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

She had promised that she liked him and would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Little liar.
