After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

The vehicle stopped smoothly in front of a luxurious villa, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Jiang Yi stared quietly at the intertwined light and shadows outside the car window, his eyes falling on a place that was both familiar and yet had nothing to do with him.

She clenched her palms tightly, feeling the tension creeping in. "Why did you bring me here?"

The man raised his lips slightly, and replied with a half-smile: "What do you think? I carried you back in the rain tonight, shouldn't you thank me properly?"

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, making it hard to tell his true intentions.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and asked coldly: "Just tell me, how much money do you want?"

She understood that any euphemism or escape would be futile in the face of this man.

However, Shi Lu just shook his head and chuckled: "Don't you know whether I am short of money or not?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing Jiang Yi's last line of defense.

She couldn't help but raise her voice and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

The anger in my heart was ignited, but more of it was sadness.

At this moment, Shi Lu suddenly reached out and gently stroked Jiang Yi's cheek, and said softly: "Go upstairs and take a shower first, I will tell you later."

"Don't push yourself too far!"

"Yi, what are you thinking about? Or did you think about it?" Shi Lu teased her.

"Shut up!"

The man smiled and got out of the car.

He walked around the front of the car to the passenger seat and opened the door for Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi stared at the man in front of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally got out of the car.

The two walked into the villa gate side by side, and a strange yet familiar breath hit them.

"Go upstairs and take a hot bath. Don't catch a cold. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Shi Lu gently reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yi silently walked up the stairs.

Entering the room that once seemed so familiar to her, she saw that the interior layout was still the same as before, and she suddenly felt confused.

She didn't know how to deal with this complicated emotion, and wanted to escape but there seemed to be nowhere to hide.

Jiang Yi stood there quietly, his thoughts surging like the tide.

After a long and careful consideration, she finally made a decision: take a bath to relax her body and mind first, and make plans for other things later.

She walked gently to the closet, slowly opened the door, and glanced at the neatly arranged clothes inside.

Everything is the same as usual, nothing has changed.

Her clothes were still hanging there quietly, as if waiting for her choice.

Jiang Yi stared at these familiar clothes, was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and took down a casual suit, turned and walked towards the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yi changed his clothes and went downstairs with light steps.

When she came downstairs, she saw Shi Lu sitting quietly on the sofa, as if he had been waiting for her to appear...

"Are you ready? Come here and drink the medicine." Shi Lu raised his head, looked at Jiang Yi with deep eyes, and said softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but frown, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

What medicine?

She looked at the man with puzzled eyes.

"Cold medicine."

Jiang Yi shook his head slowly and said softly, "No need, I'm going back."

Before she finished her words, she turned around resolutely and walked towards the door.

"It's hard to get a taxi here, you know that, so just stay here tonight." Shi Lu shouted hurriedly.

"Impossible." Jiang Yi paused and refused.

"Yes, stay."

"If I had any intentions, do you think you could still stand here safely? I will sleep in the guest room and you can go to our bedroom to rest." Shi Lu explained patiently.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she finally said, "...I'm hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Lu's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a barely noticeable smile.

He replied softly: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Yi walked silently to the sofa and sat down, scrolling through his phone out of boredom, but his eyes kept drifting towards the busy figure in the kitchen.

She couldn't help but think to herself, how great it would be if time could stay at this moment forever!

Without any worries or concerns, and without any obstacles from the outside world, spending every minute and every second peacefully and simply is the real happiness.

It’s a pity that things in the world often go against one’s wishes, and there are not so many assumptions and ifs.

The cruel reality is like an insurmountable wall standing before them.

Whether it was her family background or his family situation, it was destined that they could not pursue the life they wanted as they wished.

Everything seems to be predestined and difficult to change.

More than ten minutes later, Shi Lu carefully brought out two bowls of steaming noodles.

"Yi, it's done, come over and try it." He called softly.

After hearing this, Jiang Yi slowly put down the phone in his hand, stood up and walked towards the dining table.

When she saw the noodles and the two round eggs in the bowl, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She slowly sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to enjoy this delicious meal.

Shi Lu sat quietly aside, looking at Jiang Yi's satisfied expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Don't be anxious, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Shi Lu said gently.

However, Jiang Yi, who was eating with gusto, was suddenly choked by these words and couldn't help coughing.

Seeing this, Shi Lu immediately stood up and quickly poured a glass of water.

Then he quickly walked behind Jiang Yi and patted her back gently.

"Here, drink some water. I told you to eat slowly."

Jiang Yi took the cup of water and drank it in big gulps. The discomfort in his throat was immediately relieved a lot.

At this moment, she realized that her other hand had been tightly grasping Shi Lu's hand without her knowing when, and she quickly let go.

Jiang Yi opened his eyes wide, glared at the man in front of him, and said angrily: "Can you shut that disgusting mouth when you eat!"

She muttered to herself that this man's constant chatter was simply unbearable.

What does this mean? I am a starving ghost reincarnated.

Shi Lu was not angry at Jiang Yi's rebuke.

Instead, he smiled gently and replied, "Okay, it's all my fault. You can continue eating."

Seeing Shi Lu's sincere attitude, Jiang Yi's anger subsided a little.

She slowly relaxed and began to chew slowly.

After a while, Jiang Yi finished the last bite, burped loudly, and then put down his chopsticks contentedly.

She touched her slightly bulging belly, her face filled with happiness.

Seeing this, Shi Lu asked with concern, "Are you full?"

Jiang Yi nodded and simply replied: "Well, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
