When the driver saw that the person coming was Chu Xing, he quickly lowered the window.

"Mr. Chu, are you done?"

"Well, where's Song Mai?"

"Miss Song is walking around the ancient town. She just called me and told me that she plans to go back at 9:30 and asked me to pick her up later. But I don't have anything else to do, so I'll wait for her here first."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go find her."

After saying this, the man raised his legs and walked into the ancient town.

Tongzhuang Ancient Town is a famous scenic spot in Zicheng, known for its unique style and large area.

Since it was developed into a tourist attraction, more and more businesses have settled here, and it is now very bustling.

Chu Xing searched for a long time in the ancient town and called Song Mai twice, but the woman did not answer.

It was almost nine o'clock before he saw her in front of a stall selling sachets.

He was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and his expression only relaxed a little when he saw Song Mai.

"How not to answer the phone?"

God knows how anxious he is. Although Zicheng has beautiful scenery, it is not a safe place to live.

Because it is located at the border of two countries, there are often some lawless elements doing shady businesses roaming around, and there are also many foreign illegal immigrants. The security in Zicheng is strictly controlled, but it cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents 100%.

This was the first time he was not with her during the few days he had been in Zicheng. It was also night time, and he was so anxious that he almost called the police when he couldn't find her.

Song Mai took his cell phone out of his pocket and saw two missed calls on the screen.

She deliberately didn't reply to the message, but she really didn't hear the phone call.

"It was too noisy. I couldn't hear it."

The man wanted to lecture her and tell her not to be so careless, but fortunately she was fine, so he never said those words.

"Purple City is not peaceful, please be safe and don't run around."

"Okay, thank you for your concern."

Since Song Mai said she would keep her distance from him, she really did it. She thanked the man very politely for his concern.

This made the man choke in his chest.

She really knew how to irritate people.

"Go back?"

The woman continued to carry the sachets.

"I'll wait a moment. If you want to go back, you can go first."

He didn't know whether she was angry or not, and at this moment he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

I felt like she was angry but her words and attitude were very normal. But I also felt that she was not angry and something was wrong with her.

This really stumped Chu Xing.

He sighed silently, stopped talking and followed the woman.

He was tall and handsome, very eye-catching in the crowd, and soon many young girls were staring at him.

Song Mai didn't care about these things. She just looked at her when they looked at Chu Xing. There was nothing wrong with looking at her, but these people often looked at her with disdain and contempt.

Finally, she got angry when she heard a girl whisper, "His girlfriend isn't that good-looking either."

She turned her head sharply and looked at Chu Xing with a serious expression:

"Please stay away from me. If you want to flirt with your romantic partners, please don't take me with you. I don't want to travel and be influenced by you and be judged by others."

At first Song Mai didn't think anything of it, but as time went on she started to feel annoyed.

In addition, she and Chu Xing had become like this inexplicably, and she was holding a grudge in her heart, which made her feel very uncomfortable if she couldn't express it.

Before, Zheng Yao had only met him once and she had harmed Song Mai many times for him. Now that she was in Zicheng, every time she walked on the street with him, she would hear other people's comments about her, and they all said that she was not worthy of him.

"Song Mai, we are husband and wife, we are one."

Song Mai looked at him with a bit of sarcasm: "Husband and wife? Just a contract husband and wife... It's been more than two months now. In another nine months, we will be strangers with no relationship."

"Besides, this is Purple City. No one knows you and no one knows me. You can go and have fun by yourself. You can play with whoever you want. You don't need to be bound by this superficial identity. There is no need for me to stay by your side and listen to others insulting me."

Her words were blunt and hurtful.

Although this is indeed the case, they have been together for more than two months and have experienced a lot. Before this, Song Mai always felt that even if they divorced after more than nine months, they could still be friends.

But after what happened in the morning, she immediately realized that this friend would never be able to do this again.

Once you start, things will only get more confusing.

Plus, she was holding her breath, so she blurted out the bloody fact in the most straightforward words.

Chu Xing's face was as cold as the snow on the top of the highest snow-capped mountain in Zicheng, without any warmth at all. He stared into Song Mai's eyes without blinking, his eyes as sharp as arrow feathers.

"You just don't care?"

Song Mai just found his words funny.

What does she care about?

What else could she care about?

Do you care about your relationship with him?

Or do you care about him as a person?

"It's nothing that I don't care about. I just don't want your romance to affect my travel experience."

She said calmly.

The man grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her to a corner where no one would notice her.

"What are you upset about? If you still care about what happened this morning, I can apologize to you and make it up to you."

It was the first time he had ever met someone as awkward as her. She said it was okay, but her every move proved that she was angry.

Song Mai shook his hand off with force, looking serious and stubborn.

"I've made it very clear that we should keep our distance from now on."

As she spoke, she took two steps back, putting some distance between her and him, as if she was putting her words into practice.

Her appearance deeply hurt the man's heart. The more distant she was from him, the closer he wanted to be to her.

The man pulled her over and held her tightly in his arms.

"Let go!"

Song Mai struggled hard.

This was the third time he hugged her. The first time was for comfort, the second time was due to impulse in the morning, and what was this third time?

Chu Xing was very strong, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

The woman's brows were deeply furrowed, with anger evident in her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

The actions of the two attracted the attention of many passers-by, and some men even whistled.

"Dude, you can't be such a gentleman when a woman is angry. Sometimes a kiss is enough."

Song Mai glared at him, and the man immediately walked away quickly.

"Song Mai."

He called her, with some helplessness in his eyes.

Song Mai didn't say anything, but waited for his next sentence.

"I'm sorry about what happened this morning. I'm a normal man, and you took the initiative to sleep in my bed, so you also have some responsibility. Of course, the main fault is still mine. I promise not to offend you again. I also hope that you won't deliberately distance yourself from me."

"We had a good relationship before, and I don't want to break this harmony. Even if our marriage is doomed to end, I hope we can get along well in the remaining months."
