Chapter 42: The End

"Oh, come inside. Give me a minute, I'm going to go wash up." Huo Mian opened the door to let Ning Zhiyuan in.

Walking inside, he slowly looked around this little home, and his chest filled with a complex mix of emotions.

He still remembered how excited he was when he had first moved in with Huo Mian. Even though they slept in separate rooms, the simple fact that they could be together from dawn to dusk filled him with joy. If it hadn't been for the incident at her high-school reunion, perhaps they would have held their wedding already.

Ning Zhiyuan truly hated that ex-boyfriend of Huo Mian's. They broke up so many years ago, so why did he have to come running back and bother them?

If he was that rich, why didn't he just go and find another girlfriend? Why did he have to cling onto Huo Mian?

Huo Mian got dressed, then went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she saw Ning Zhiyuan was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper.
