After working in my room for an hour, I went to the kitchen to get some water because I was thirsty, but I didn't expect to see Shen Zhixia in the dining room.

Why hasn't she left yet?

I was puzzled as to why she hadn't gone to see Xu Jin yet, but I didn't show it on my face.

As I went to the kitchen to get some water with a blank expression, Shen Zhixia suddenly asked, "Where are our wedding photos?"

I froze, clearly not expecting her to suddenly ask me that question.

Isn't she the one who hates seeing photos of me and her the most?

Just when I thought I was hallucinating, Shen Zhixia asked again, "Where's our wedding photo that's hanging in the living room?"

"lost."

I gave a curt reply and went straight to the kitchen to pour water.

When I came out, Shen Zhixia was still sitting in the restaurant. "Ji Nanchen, we're not divorced yet."

"so what?"

I looked at Shen Zhixia with some impatience, not understanding what the point of her saying this now was.

I married her with great joy, thinking that as long as I put my heart into it, she would eventually feel my love, and we would eventually fall in love with each other.

But the truth is, if someone doesn't love you, they just don't love you; you can't force it.

Holding my water glass, I said softly, "Shen Zhixia, I know you don't like me and hate seeing our photoshopped pictures, so I threw them away so you won't be bothered anymore."

And I will no longer harbor any illusions, thinking that this is our home.

Shen Zhixia became inexplicably impatient. "Ji Nanchen, don't assume you know me so well."

"Okay," I replied casually, then turned and left.

I really don't understand Shen Zhixia, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Just as I was about to leave the restaurant, her voice rang out again, "Ji Nanchen, I've bought your mother's house."

I gripped the water glass tightly, and my fingertips turned slightly white.

That house was bought by me for Zhang Guifen.

The day I learned that Zhang Guifen had been scammed in a gambling case, those people told me that she had already mortgaged her house to them.

But why did Shen Zhixia want to buy that place?

Shen Zhixia got up and sat down on the sofa in the living room. "I know that house. It's the house you bought for your mother with your own money after you graduated. That house is very meaningful to you, so I bought it."

Significant?

I lowered my eyes and clenched my fists tighter by my side. I bought that house so that Zhang Guifen could have a better life.

But now, what's the point of that house?

I pursed my lips, and the day Zhang Guifen jumped off the building involuntarily came to mind.

Crimson blood, a cold corpse—Zhang Guifen is dead. She committed suicide in the house I bought.

I think I never want to set foot in that place again in my life; I don't want to experience that terrifying scene again.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Shen Zhixia changed the subject and brought up another matter.

“Nan Chen, something happened to Xu Jin’s house. He happens to have some business to attend to nearby, so I asked him to stay with us for a couple of days.”

Is Xu Jin coming to stay here for a couple of days?

I was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Shen Zhixia to say such a thing.

However, given her style, it's not surprising that she would do something like this. After all, before I was completely disheartened, she had brought Xu Jin to my home to flaunt their affection and humiliate me.

Now, I don't care anymore.

I nodded, but the tone of my voice betrayed no emotion.

"This is your house, you can decide what to do."

Seeing my calm demeanor, Shen Zhixia raised an eyebrow in surprise.

In her mind, I always considered this place to be our private territory, so every time she brought someone back to show off her love, I would fly into a rage. But she didn't expect that this time I would agree so easily.

Shen Zhixia's eyes flashed, and she suddenly added, "Once Xu Jin's business is finished, he will move out."

"Also, he said he has always been grateful to you for donating blood to him, and given all that has happened recently, he wants to spend some time with you and give you some advice."

Try to comfort me?

I laughed sarcastically, never expecting Shen Zhixia to say something so absurd.

She cheated on me, and she still expects the male mistress to comfort me?

"Shen Zhixia, if he were truly grateful to me, he wouldn't have deliberately come here to disgust me!"

Shen Zhixia frowned slightly, and her voice turned colder: "Xu Jin is just worried about you."

"This is the first time I've met someone so worried; it's quite a novel experience."

I nodded in agreement and turned to walk towards the stairs.

When I was halfway there, Shen Zhixia suddenly said, "Ji Nanchen, this is our house."

I paused for a moment, glanced down at the water in my hands, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

There was a time when I really wanted to have a home of our own with her.

But now, I don't want to anymore.

I paused slightly and said in a deep voice, "Shen Zhixia, I don't like you anymore."

I've liked you for so many years and suffered so much pain; I'm exhausted.

That's it for the rest of the time; there's not much time left anyway.

Hearing this, Shen Zhixia, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned even more. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the woman she had met at the hospital that day.

Is he in love with her?

Shen Zhixia thought this to herself, and asked the same question: "Have you fallen for that female doctor?"

"No."

I answered indifferently, my face full of fatigue.

Shen Zhixia couldn't see my fatigue, and only asked coldly again, "Then who have you fallen for?"

"I will meet someone I like again in the future, but that person will not be you."

I lifted my foot and continued walking uphill, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

As Shen Zhixia watched me walk uphill step by step, the irritation between her brows intensified.

“Ji Nanchen, you must remember that you are a married man. If you dare to mess around outside, I can’t guarantee what incomprehensible things I might do.”

I paused for a moment, then continued walking uphill... So she knew we were married, then why had she been playing around with other people all these years?

Why is it that only officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?

Before I could speak, Shen Zhixia seemed to have guessed my thoughts and suddenly said coldly, "My relationship with Xu Jin is not what you think. In short, if you dare to do anything to betray me, I will definitely not let you get away with it."

"it is good."

I responded expressionlessly, not wanting to get entangled with Shen Zhixia any further.

But she clearly wasn't going to let me off the hook so easily.

She said, "Ji Nanchen, let bygones be bygones. Let's make things right from now on."

It's strange, I used to really want to hear Shen Zhixia say this.

But now, for some reason, when I hear these words, I feel completely calm.

"Shen Zhixia, can we ever go back?"
