After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Zhao Mengmeng lowered her head and continued eating, replying casually, "Going south."

Qi Mu'an panicked, "You deliberately ran so far away to avoid me?"

Zhao Mengmeng: "So what if it is? I said we should separate and cool off for a while, and think about whether we should continue."

Qi Mu'an looked at Zhao Mengmeng and realized she was serious. He became anxious and said, "Mengmeng, I..."

Zhao Mengmeng's phone, which was on the coffee table in the living room, suddenly rang. She put down her chopsticks and went to the living room to get her phone. As she walked back, she answered, "Dingding, I'm done with my work. I'm having lunch."

Ding Ding was especially excited: "Mengmeng, Zhao Dongyu has been confirmed to join 'Winter Sonata'! The production team just said that Zhao Dongyu chose you to be his CP. Your chance to become a huge star has come!"

"Zhao Dongyu is also joining my variety show? And she's going to be my CP? Is there such a good thing?" Zhao Mengmeng deliberately repeated it in front of Qi Mu'an.

Qi Mu'an frowned as he looked at Zhao Mengmeng. Zhao Dongyu was a rising star who had become popular in the past two years. Was he going to form a CP with Zhao Mengmeng?

Ding Ding: "Yeah, isn't that surprising? This is a huge surprise, isn't it? Oh, by the way, I need to remind you of something: you must keep the same story to everyone, saying you're single, okay?"

Zhao Mengmeng smiled and said, "I've always been single."

Upon hearing this, Qi Mu'an's face darkened, and he snatched Zhao Mengmeng's phone away. "Dingding, it's me, Qi Mu'an. Mengmeng won't be taking this show. She needs to rest for a while and is not allowed to accept any gigs."

"Qi Mu'an, what right do you have to interfere with my work? Ding Ding, don't listen to him!" Zhao Mengmeng shouted.

She tried to snatch her phone back, but Qi Mu'an hung up first, saying, "I'm your fiancé. If I say no, then no. We'll go get our marriage certificate in a bit."

Zhao Mengmeng snatched back her phone, pouted and glared, "I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go. Let me tell you, Qi Mu'an, I don't want to marry you anymore. I'm not throwing a tantrum. I've made up my mind. Let's break up."

Qi Mu'an stared at Zhao Mengmeng in astonishment. "What did you say? You want to break up with me?"

Zhao Mengmeng: "Yes, I want to break up with you. I don't want to be stuck between you and your shameless ex-wife. I feel disgusted just thinking about that woman."

"Whether she lives or dies, it will affect your emotions, so why should I put up with it?"

Qi Mu stared at Zhao Mengmeng for a few seconds before suddenly getting up and leaving.

Hearing the door slam shut, Zhao Mengmeng's heart skipped a beat.

She picked up her chopsticks and pretended to eat as if nothing was wrong, letting her tears fall silently.

After taking two bites, she stopped, pounded her chest, which felt tight, and burst into tears.

"It's okay, Zhao Mengmeng, you'll be leaving here in a couple of days," she murmured between sobs. "I know breaking up will hurt, but time will solve everything..."

Qi Mu'an took the elevator downstairs, got into his car, started the engine, and drove away.

Half an hour later, he returned to Qi Muci's house.

When the butler saw him return, he greeted him, "Mr. Qi, why are you back so soon?"

Qi Mu'an ignored everyone, went straight into his room, and slammed the door.

Upon seeing this, the butler quickly went upstairs to the study to report to Qi Muci and Qiao Ran.

“Sir, Madam, Chairman Qi came back in a huff. I greeted him, but he ignored me and slammed the door.”

Qi Muci and Qiao Ran exchanged a glance, then Qi Muci replied to the butler, "Yes, Uncle Yang, let him be."

After the housekeeper left the study, Qiao Ran quickly dialed Zhao Mengmeng's number.

After a long wait, Zhao Mengmeng finally answered, "Hello, Ranran."

Qiao Ran: "Mengmeng, did you have a fight with your older brother? He just came back, and Uncle Yang said he was very angry."

Zhao Mengmeng took a breath. "Ranran, I'm breaking up with you. We're over. Oh, and by the way, I just wanted to let you know that my flight to Nanya Island to record a show is scheduled for the day after tomorrow night."

"Time is tight, so I need to make some preparations in the next couple of days. I might be quite busy. Dingding will arrange a car to take me to the airport the night after tomorrow. I'll send you a message to let you know I'm safe once I arrive in Nanya Island."

Qiao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only reply, "Okay, then I wish you a safe journey and a smooth filming process. We'll be waiting for you to come back so we can celebrate the Spring Festival together."

Zhao Mengmeng: "I might not come back. It's too cold in northern Beijing. I might stay on Nanya Island for the Spring Festival and then come back."

Qiao Ran: "Okay, it's too early to talk about this now. We'll see when the time comes. You go ahead and do your work, take care of yourself."

After Qiao Ran hung up the phone, Qi Muci asked, "Did you really break up?"

Qiao Ran nodded and said worriedly, "Mengmeng has a very strong personality. If she is the one who proposed breaking up, it means that she has really thought it through carefully. Big brother is in trouble this time."

Qi Muci put down the book in his hand. "I'll go downstairs and take a look."

Qi Mu'an lay on the bed, angry. He had already apologized, but why was Zhao Mengmeng still so persistent?

They even said things like "let's break up."

She even had to go to the south to film a dating reality show with that pretty boy named Zhao Dongyu and form a couple with him.

There was a knock on the door twice. Qi Mu'an turned around and saw his younger brother, Qi Muci, open the door and come in.

Qi Muci pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, crossing his arms and looking at him. "I heard Mengmeng broke up with you."

Qi Mu'an said irritably, "Your information network is quite impressive."

Qi Muci chuckled, "If I were you, I'd be kneeling at Mengmeng's door right now begging for her forgiveness. You actually ran home and are lying here so comfortably. Aren't you afraid she'll run away?"

Qi Mu'an: "I did nothing wrong, why should I kneel down and beg for her forgiveness? It's clearly her who's being unreasonable, okay? Do you know that she still wants to be paired with Zhao Dongyu to film a dating reality show? If she cared about my feelings, she wouldn't have done that."

"Have you ever cared about her feelings?" Qi Muci retorted. "You put her in the middle of you and Xu Weiyan, making her feel uncomfortable. Have you thought about how she feels?"

"If you don't consider her feelings, why should she consider yours?"

Qi Mu'an was taken aback for a moment, then defended himself, "Why are you all dragging Xu Weiyan into this? We only met once in the mall, and I didn't say anything at the time."

Qi Muci: "You didn't say it, but you're wavering. Don't deny it. You're my brother, I know you too well."

Qi Mu'an was speechless.

Qi Muci spread his hands and slapped his thigh. "It seems you still haven't realized the problems you have. In that case, let's break up. Don't drag Mengmeng down. She deserves someone better to love her."

Qi Mu'an: "Hey, Qi Muci, whose family are you, anyway?"

Qi Muci raised an eyebrow. "Mengmeng is my wife's best friend. In my eyes, my wife is the most important person."

Qi Mu'an: "What if your wife was being unreasonable like this? Would you kneel down and beg her for forgiveness?"

“Of course,” Qi Muci answered without hesitation. “If my wife is being unreasonable, then it must be my problem. If I don’t have a problem, why would she make a fuss? Have you thought about that?”

Qi Mu'an was stunned.

Qi Muci stood up, looked down at his older brother, and deliberately stirred things up with a smirk, "I heard Zhao Dongyu is quite good at getting along with people and is very popular with girls. Brother, aren't you worried?"
