80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Huo Qingxia took a week off, afraid that Wang Yiming would cause trouble at her home, so she stayed at Lin Yue's house and didn't go anywhere else.

Lin Yue also stayed at home, taking the opportunity to make clothes for the children. She still had a lot of fabric left, so she made several more clothes for Xiao Bao and the baby in her belly.

Huo Qingxia helped her with the work and even made a dress for her unborn nephew and niece by hand.

When Wang Yiming couldn't find anyone at the hospital nurses' station, he went to the Huo family's house to look for them, but was coldly chased away by Huo's mother.

"You have nothing to do with Qingxia anymore, so don't come here again."

Huo's mother was really disappointed in him. She used to think highly of Wang Yiming and felt that it was a very lucky thing for her daughter to meet him.

She also kept advising her daughter to tone down her personality and get along better with Wang Yiming.

She never expected Wang Yiming to do such a thing, and now that he's causing trouble, she despises him even more.

Wang Yiming looked aggrieved and grabbed Huo's mother's arm, pleading, "Mom, I really didn't mean to. I lost my memory because I was injured while saving someone."

I don't want to be separated from Brigitte Lin. I've decided on her for the rest of my life, and all I want is to marry her.

"Mom, I promise I'll treat Qingxia well. Please help me persuade Qingxia to forgive me this once."

Huo's mother shook off his arm. "Go away. Don't waste your time here. Qingxia won't see you."

When Mr. Huo got home from get off work, he saw that Mr. Huo was not in a good mood at the door and told him to leave quickly.

He then pleaded with Huo's father to help persuade Huo Qingxia.

Mr. Huo refused outright. They never interfered in their children's affairs, and since their daughter had already made her decision, they wouldn't hold her back.

Wang Yiming didn't care whether they wanted to or not, and just sat guarding the Huo family's gate.

Many people came and went, watching him and whispering among themselves, but he didn't care or feel ashamed. He felt that he was flexible and resilient, willing to do anything for love.

Every day when Chang's mother goes out to buy groceries, she gets stopped and questioned for ages, which drives her crazy.

They weren't the type to gossip or hold grudges, so they didn't give a specific reason, only saying that the two of them weren't compatible and broke up.

But the neighbors love to gossip. The less you tell them, the more excited they get to guess, and they'll say all sorts of things.

Some say that Wang Yiming cheated on Huo Qingxia with another woman, which is why Huo Qingxia was unwilling to marry him.

Some say that Huo Qingxia fell in love with someone better and no longer looked up to Wang Yiming.

Wang Yiming didn't explain, but just lowered his head and stood guard at the Huo family's door like a wronged little wife.

He didn't believe that Brigitte Lin could stay indoors forever; he was confident that with enough patience, he could win her over.

The neighbors, feeling sorry for him, all stood up for him, thinking that Huo Qingxia had a spoiled temper and wouldn't let go of anyone's mistakes.

“Qingxia’s mother, please persuade Qingxia not to be so stubborn. There’s nothing that can’t be resolved. Why keep her hanging like this?”

"Look at this young man, he's been sitting here for two days without eating or drinking, and he even has a head injury. If anything bad happens to him, your family will be held responsible."

"Exactly, exactly. Brigitte Lin is just too stubborn. Where else can you find such a good boy?"

Let the child go inside and have a good talk with Brigitte Lin, clear up the misunderstandings, and they should still get married.

Brigitte Lin is getting older; she can't treat relationships lightly. If she encounters someone she likes, she should cherish them.

Huo's mother stomped her feet in anger. She called Huo Qingyan home and told him to get rid of the person.

Looking at Huo Qingyan's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Wang Yiming felt a little scared, but he still stubbornly insisted on waiting for Huo Qingxia to come out.

"If you're a man, get out of here. Don't be half-dead."

Wang Yiming kept his head down and didn't say a word, shrinking himself into a quail.

Huo Qingyan clicked his tongue and kicked him in the butt. "Get out of here. If you're still like this, I'll throw you out of the capital."

Wang Yiming's eyes were red like a rabbit's. "Brother Yan, please help me. I really can't live without Qingxia. You know how I feel about her."

Huo Qingyan looked at him with a stern face, "You only have her in your heart, yet you can do that kind of thing with other women. What do you take Qingxia for?"

Wang Yiming looked at him in shock, "Brother Yan, how did you know?"

Huo Qingyan's expression grew increasingly cold. "You think no one will know as long as you don't say anything? Do you think we're all fools?"

Sweat beaded on Wang Yiming's forehead. "No, Brother Yan, I didn't do it on purpose. I was drugged, and I don't even know what I did."

Those were all accidents... Let's just pretend nothing happened.

Huo Qingyan clenched her fists angrily. "Wang Yiming, you're a man. You should take responsibility for what you did to that girl, instead of pretending nothing happened."

I didn't tell Qingxia this to save you face. You'd better leave now, or I'll look down on you.

Wang Yiming wanted to say something, but seeing Huo Qingyan's increasingly cold face, he shrank back and left.

That matter must have been told to Brother Yan by Hu Zhenyu, that big mouth. Chang Yanran is a woman, she certainly wouldn't go around talking about such things.

He scratched his head in frustration. He hadn't eaten, drunk, washed his face, or shaved for the past few days, and he looked slovenly, almost like a beggar.

He went back to the garment factory, tidied up, and fell asleep immediately. Luo Xiaoshan and Wu Changyong exchanged a glance but did not say anything.

Wang Yiming's actions this time were unethical, and they felt he shouldn't have done it.

Brother Yan is their trusted brother, and Qingxia is his own sister. Wang Yiming has really hurt them this time.

Huo Qingyan sent them to the clothing factory in town to investigate the factory manager's problems. This time, Bai Ge and the others' incident also brought the factory manager to light.

A secret room was also discovered underground in the garment factory, but it was completely empty.

According to the factory manager, there used to be things inside, but Bai Ge and his group moved them all. He didn't know where they were sent.

He's just someone who gets paid to do things; he doesn't know anything about any organization or anything like that.

After sleeping in the dormitory for two days, Wang Yiming resumed his normal work, chatting and laughing with Luo Xiaoshan and the others, just like before.

Everyone thought he had let go of the matter, but unexpectedly he went to the Huo family again after get off work.

This time, instead of waiting at the door, he hid in a corner in the distance and waited for Huo Qingxia to appear.

Huo Qingxia has been in a good mood these past few days. Without Wang Yiming causing trouble, she can work in peace and has even started to study some traditional Chinese medicine knowledge on her own, wanting to improve herself.

This failed relationship made her realize even more that a woman can only live a good life if she is strong on her own, instead of placing her hopes on others.

She was holding a book in her hand, walking around while looking at an acupuncture technique, and even drawing it with her hand.

When Wang Yiming saw her return, he ran to her in a few steps and reached out to hug her.

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her, startling Huo Qingxia so much that her hand trembled and she dropped the book to the ground. "Ah..."

She instinctively kicked at the dark figure, but Wang Yiming nimbly dodged and still tried to hug Huo Qingxia, unwilling to give up.

After Huo Qingxia recognized him, she immediately slapped him across the face.

Wang Yiming stood there stunned; this was the first time Huo Qingxia had ever slapped him in the face.

In the past, when she was angry or upset, she would at most punch him a few times, but she wouldn't use much force; it was no different from tickling him.

He'd either kick me a few times, but I'd never slap him in the face.

Huo Qingxia wiped her hands on her clothes with disgust, looking at him with a look of revulsion. "Wang Yiming, are you ever going to stop? We've already broken off the engagement. Your current behavior is just being a scoundrel."

"You'd better leave quickly, or I'll go to the police station and report you, and you'll be arrested too."

She has let go of the past and harbors no resentment towards Wang Yiming.

But Wang Yiming's repeated harassment is making her very annoyed, and she is increasingly feeling that her previous choices were problematic.

She's either blind or blinded by love; she and Wang Yiming are simply not a good match. They've wasted so much time together, and she feels she's letting herself down.

Looking at Huo Qingxia's heartless expression, Wang Yiming felt even more wronged.

He only made a mistake that any man would make, and he didn't do it on purpose, so why is it like he did something heinous and was sentenced to death?

Apart from this one time, he dares to say that he has never done anything to wrong Huo Qingxia.

He has always been wholeheartedly devoted to Huo Qingxia, indulging her in everything, treating her like a precious gem.

He would coax her when she was angry, regardless of whether he was wrong or not; as long as she said he was wrong, he would admit it.

He worked day and night to earn money so he could marry her and buy a house.

He simply cannot accept that he cannot be forgiven for making a single mistake.

"Qingxia, you know how I've treated you these past few years. I love you, and I value you more than my own life."

Please forgive me this once. I really didn't mean it this time. I swear I'll never make any more mistakes like this again.

He looked at Huo Qingxia with bloodshot and urgent eyes, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from her.

Huo Qingxia suppressed her aversion, took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to soften her tone and speak calmly with Wang Yiming.

There's no deep-seated hatred between them, so there's no need to act like enemies.

"Wang Yiming, when we were together, you were very good to me, and I did what I could. We don't owe each other anything."

Now that we've broken up, we should do it with dignity and not let all the good memories of the past disappear.

Her voice choked as she spoke; her heart wasn't made of iron, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't hurting.

She acted as if she didn't care, simply because she didn't want her family to worry, and even more so because she didn't want to see Lin Yue blame herself.

Relationships are a matter between two people; if they get along, they stay together, and if they don't, they separate. No one else should be involved.

Wang Yiming pleaded desperately, "Qingxia, I know you have feelings for me too. I'm the one who hurt you. I'm sorry. Please give me another chance."

Everything's ready for our wedding. We'll definitely be happy together, so please don't leave me.

Huo Qingxia shook her head helplessly, "Wang Yiming, we can't go back. Haven't you realized it yet? We're just not right for each other."

You've been forcing yourself to be with me; you're not happy at all.

When you came to me to break off the engagement after losing your memory, I saw a light in your eyes that I never saw when we were together.

That means you have someone you truly like, and you're happy when you're with her.

Wang Yiming, stop deceiving yourself. You're just used to being with me and afraid people will say you're fickle.

What others say is completely unimportant; what matters is whether we are happy.

Wang Yiming couldn't listen to what she was saying at all; he only felt that she was unwilling to forgive him.

"No, Brigitte Lin, I love you. You are the only one in my heart. I can never love anyone else."

You're the one I've decided to spend my life with. I'll treat you well, and I'll listen to whatever you say.

As he spoke, he reached out to take Huo Qingxia's hand, but Huo Qingxia stepped back and dodged him.

"You..." Huo Qingxia held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, not wanting to say anything more to him.

"Wang Yiming, I'm saying this one last time: we've already broken off the engagement, and I can't go back."

Don't waste your time on me. Think carefully about who you really like. Don't choose the wrong person this time.

Looking at Huo Qingxia's resolute expression, Wang Yiming felt extremely distressed. "No, Qingxia, no matter how many times I have to choose, I will always choose you."

Give me another chance, and I promise I'll never hurt you again. Believe me.

Huo Qingxia was utterly fed up. She didn't want to listen to Wang Yiming spout these high-sounding, beautiful words anymore; she felt like throwing up if she listened any longer.

"Wang Yiming, I've made up my mind and I won't change it. What you think is your business. Just don't come looking for me again."

After saying that, she walked into the Huo family's gate without looking back.

Wang Yiming tried to follow him inside, but the door slammed shut in front of him.

He regretted it, he really regretted it. He shouldn't have lost control and had such wicked thoughts.

He would never try to save someone out of a show of bravery. If he didn't save someone, he wouldn't get hurt, he wouldn't lose his memory, and he wouldn't say such outrageous things as announcing the annulment of the engagement.

If he hadn't said those things, he and Brigitte Lin would probably have gotten their marriage certificate by now, and they would have their own little family.

We go to work together every day, cook dinner together when we get home, and sleep in each other's arms at night.

He made one wrong step, and now it's irreversible?

No, he won't give up. He just saw that Qingxia's eyes were red. She still has feelings for him. As long as he sincerely and persistently admits his mistakes, she will definitely forgive him.

Wang Yiming didn't stay at the entrance; he went straight to the department store to buy Qingxia some things she liked, to show her his sincerity.

After Huo Qingxia closed the door, tears streamed down her face. She knew that Wang Yiming was sincerely asking for her forgiveness.

But she couldn't be soft-hearted. Even if they made up now, similar things would still happen in the future.

Ultimately, they're not a good match. No matter how many times they reconcile, conflicts will still arise, and things will remain the same as they are now.

Instead of wasting time together, it's better to cut things off quickly.
