e other, they walked into the alley.Wen Man felt like she couldn't shake him off. She turned around to shoo Huo Mingzhu away, but the next second, her eyes widened.Ho Mingzhu was knocked down from beh...Zhang Chongguang greedily stared at her.

She looked very well, much better than before. There was almost no trace of her previous sadness in her expression, as if the harm inflicted by someone named Zhang Chongguang had never existed at all.

Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but gently caress his wedding ring.

Huo Xi went straight in and walked to the attached tea room to make herself a cup of coffee. She didn't ask him if he wanted one, because between them, that kind of formality was no longer necessary.

Through the whirring of the coffee machine, Zhang Chongguang's gravelly voice came.

"You got nothing in the divorce!"

"Here's a deal. Apart from my company's 20% stake, which I transfer to your name... You can move back into that villa with the kids. They're used to living there."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the coffee machine stopped.

Huo Xi stood up and took a small sip of his coffee before slowly walking to sit across from him. This was probably the first time in several months that they had sat face-to-face and spoken so calmly.

Ho Xi gazed at Zhang Chongguang.

She was not a naive little girl; she knew very well that this was Zhang Chongguang courting her.

Twenty percent of the shares, worth hundreds of billions, just give it away.

Then it's easy to get, right

All he wants is her, all he craves is her change of heart, but... water spilled can't be collected.

Huo Xi smiled faintly and refused directly: "The divorce agreement clearly states that we go our separate ways, neither taking advantage of the other nor owing anything to each other... As for the villa, I don't want it. You can continue living there or sell it as you wish. However, there are some things of mine there, and I'll pick them up when I have time."

Zhang Chongguang understood that she didn't want to see him.

He murmured softly, "I won't be here before eight o'clock tonight."

Huo Xi nodded. "Okay, I'll pick it up when I have time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to see her guests off. However, Zhang Chongguang was reluctant to leave. He had finally gotten the chance to meet her, and she was surprisingly willing to talk to him for a while, even though what she said wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear.

Huo Xi got up and saw that he had no intention of leaving.

She then said in a soft voice, "Mr. Zhang, it's best to take off the wedding ring on your nameless finger. It might lead to misunderstandings."

Zhang Chongguang gently stroked the spot.

That was put on by Ho Xi himself, he couldn't take it off and wouldn't want to...

***

On Friday afternoon, Huo Xi left work early and went back to the villa.

A white BMW drove slowly into the villa. As soon as the car stopped, the maid, Mrs. Wu, came over happily and greeted: "Madam is back."

But then she thought of something and immediately changed her tune: "I'll just call you Miss Huo from now on."

Huo Xi nodded. "I'll go upstairs and get some things!"

Wu Sao wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only see Huo Xi go upstairs.

Huo Xi hesitated for no moment, she went upstairs and pushed open the master bedroom door. It remained just as it was before, even with their wedding photo still hanging above the bed, a testament to her and Zhang Chongguang's past.

She didn't want to look any longer, and hurried into the dressing room.

She didn't take any jewelry or clothes; she only took her and the children's documents, especially their passports, from the safe and put them in her bag.

Ho Xi took the things and left, but as he passed by the big bed, he saw the glazed vase on the bedside table.

She stopped.

After a moment's thought, she walked over and picked it up. Her slender fingers gently turned it over, then she chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Back then, she was so meticulous. Now it just feels ironic.

Huo Xi put the glass back where it belonged and turned to leave, but before she could even turn around, a pair of strong arms enveloped her...

Her body stiffened, wanting to break free.

But Zhang Chongguang held her very tightly, embracing her from behind and resting his face gently against her thin back, murmuring softly, "Xi Huo, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Ho Xi sneered, "Interesting, Zhang Chongguang"

Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but touch her face, knowing he was despicable for tricking her back.

He really missed her, longed to hold her.

He whispered, "You still care about me, otherwise you wouldn't have picked up this glass, Hoxi... give me a chance, I won't let you down again. Let's start over, okay"

"Zhang Chongguang, you're overthinking this!"

Huo Xi pushed him away impatiently. She picked up the glazed object and turned to face him, a cold glint in her eyes: "If this still gives you any delusions, I don't mind telling you, you and your touch disgust me. Every second I spend with you is an act of endurance."

Zhang Chongguang forgot to breathe.

Huo Xi, under the weight of his heartache, raised the hand-made glass...

She let go of her hand lightly.

Those colorful fragments, scattered everywhere.

Zhang Chongguang stared blankly, but Huo Xi had already taken a step back and walked towards the bedroom door.

As soon as he came to his senses, he rushed downstairs.

In the hall, he caught up to her, grabbed her hand, and lowered himself: "Ho Xi, don't leave!"

Huo Xi broke free from his grasp. "Zhang Chongguang," she said calmly, "we've said everything that needed to be said, signed the papers, and gone through the ceremony... We have nothing left but two children we share together! I will forget everything that happened in the past, please do the same."

She has never been a procrastinating person.

But she broke her principles again and again for Zhang Chongguang, leading to this situation. She won't listen to him anymore, nor will she have any feelings for him.

At first, she watched the scene of him kissing Song Yun countless times.

She had already decided to break with Zhang Chongguang, severing all ties and ending their relationship.

Hoxi still left.

Zhang Chongguang stood in the hall, hearing the sound of a car engine outside. He thought, Huo Xi seemed to have become the former Huo Xi again, someone who was both admirable and irresistible.

And he, it seemed, was back to being the original Zhang Chongguang.

Originally, without Ho-shi, he was nothing.

He's not even Zhang Chongguang anymore!

After Huo Xi left, the servants dared not approach. Zhang Chongguang didn't eat; he just went upstairs and back to his bedroom. He walked into the walk-in closet and opened the door. He saw that her clothes were neatly arranged, and when he looked at her usual jewelry, it was all there too.

Huoxi didn't take away a single piece of clothing, not even a piece of jewelry. She didn't want anything that was related to him, probably because she felt disgusted!

Even... the glass she made for him shattered.

Zhang Chongguang knelt down and picked up the pieces of glazed tile. His palm was bleeding, but he didn't feel the pain...e middle of his relationship with Mingzhu. The Huo family had agreed easily and hadn't blamed her too much, perhaps out of consideration for Wen Man's face...He knew it in his heart, but he just embra...
