She divorced with her property, and her ex-husband chased her around the world

The man buried his forehead in the back of her neck, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, as if all the irritability could be soothed at this moment.

His voice was unusually gentle in the dark night.

He hummed softly.

Shang Manyue fell silent again. He hadn't come for quite some time since they parted unhappily at the Chamber of Commerce banquet last time. She had thought that their relationship would fade away like this.

This is fine, she thought.

If they don't meet, there will be no quarrels, no sadness. If he enjoys the colorful world outside and is no longer obsessed with her body, then they will forget each other.

But unexpectedly, he came again...

Shang Manyue was no longer used to being so close to him. If he came to satisfy her physical needs, she would rather he be direct and leave after he was done.

It's better than having to be so warm.

He felt the woman's body tense in his arms, with silent resistance. If it were before, Huo Jingbo would feel disliked and would definitely get angry.

Now, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

I don’t know if this is called... heartache?

Huo Jingbo hugged Shang Manyue tighter, not allowing her to resist, almost as if he wanted to embed her whole body into his flesh.

The man's thin lips pressed against Shang Manyue's small ear.

"Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"

Get ill……

Shang Manyue was stunned for a moment, but then calmed down. She didn't intend to hide her illness, so now she knew it.

She said calmly: "There's nothing to say."

If he was still the Huo Jingbo who loved and cherished her, she would naturally tell him, but he was heartless and indifferent to her, so what was the point of telling him?

It's just asking for humiliation.

Even though Huo Jingbo had made up his mind to be considerate of Shang Manyue, he couldn't help feeling a little angry after hearing this.

In fact, it’s more about the taste.

I am still jealous of myself.

This made him even crazier.

What can he do when his competitor is actually me?

He bit her delicate neck as punishment and snorted, "You are like this, always keeping me at a distance. How can I not be angry?"

She was almost making him unlike herself, and she herself felt like a stranger.

Shang Manyue sighed inwardly.

She really didn't understand what Huo Jingbo meant by appearing here tonight.

You didn't come here to sleep, but instead you're talking about irrelevant things?

Shang Manyue turned around from the man's arms. The only light in the bedroom was the silver moonlight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The man had deep eyebrows and eyes, and was still handsome enough to make people's heart beat faster.

Shang Manyue sometimes couldn't help but think that beauty can really mislead people.

If she had not been bewitched by this face back then, how could she have started a relationship with him, entangled with him for so many years, but still unable to get a happy ending.

Perhaps it was late at night and people's hearts inevitably became sentimental.

She couldn't help but say what was in her heart, "Huo Jingbo, it was you... who excluded me first."

She had many grievances in her heart, which she would never speak of under normal circumstances. But on a night like this, the man lay quietly beside her and looked at her. He restrained all his sharpness and expressed his dissatisfaction in such a childish way.

She has been suppressed for long enough and still feels very aggrieved.

Shang Manyue's nose felt a little sour, although she remained calm on her face, "You are unwilling to be responsible for my future, but you let me give you my heart, and you play with it at will. When you have had enough fun, are you going to throw my heart to the ground, stomp on it a few times, and then kick me away?"

Huo Jingbo frowned and opened his thin lips slightly, wanting to say something.

Shang Manyue put her finger on his lips, stopping him.

She continued softly, "Or maybe you just can't have enough fun in your lifetime, so you use this to imprison me and make me your lover who never sees the light of day."

"Huo Jingbo, we are not young anymore. We don't have that much time to waste. It has been more than seven years. How many seven years are there in a lifetime?"

"Actually, I'm really tired. If you'd like to spare me, I'd be very grateful. Really."

She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Life is not just about love, she also has children, family, and business.

If love cannot make her enjoy happiness and joy, at least it cannot be a burden to her.

Indulging in love, she lost herself and wallowed in pain. Even she herself despised her.

It was this self-loathing that made it impossible for her depression to be cured.

Because it means that she is giving up on herself.

Since he came back, Huo Jingbo has never had a heart-to-heart talk with Shang Manyue like this. From the very beginning, he has rejected her re-entering his life.

There is no emotion in his heart, and he thinks love is just an obstacle for him.

After all, he really looked down on Huo Jingbo, who once risked his life for Shang Manyue.

He felt that he was stupid in the past.

All ambitious people are typical egoists.

They instinctively reject anything that would affect their rationality.

At this moment, he realized that he was wrong.

His emotionless artificial heart was actually beating in pain.

It hurt more than when he had just woken up from surgery and was going through that adjustment period.

Human emotions are really something that is hard to fathom.

And he actually... began to no longer reject it.

Huo Jingbo didn't know what he felt for a moment. He was annoyed and powerless, and finally bit Shang Manyue's lips again.

He said, "No, I can't let you go."

If he lets Shang Manyue go, who will let him go?

He thought that Shang Manyue seemed to have really... made his artificial heart begin to yearn for something called emotion.

Shang Manyue was not surprised by this answer.

Huo Jingbo has always been self-centered and has always done his own thing. How could she convince him with just a few words?

But she was still disappointed.

She lost the mood to communicate with him and spoke calmly.

"If you don't want to do anything, I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed."

She took a lot of medicine, all of which contained sleeping pills. It was not easy for her to hold on until now.

As she spoke, her eyelids drooped.

Huo Jingbo was silent for a while before he murmured, "If...if I start loving you again, will you be willing to accept me?"

When Shang Manyue was about to meet Zhou Gong, she was pulled back by his words.

She looked stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Huo Jingbo kissed her eyes and said, "I have cancelled my engagement with the Jiang family. I am now single and free, and I can date you."

Cancel the engagement.

single.

Freedom...

Shang Manyue knew every word, but when she heard him say it, she didn't know for a moment whether she was hallucinating because of the medicine she had taken.

Seeing her speechless, Huo Jingbo was a little unhappy. He asked, "Shang Manyue, can I date you now?"
