In the ward, after Fu Xiao hung up the phone, Zhiyue visited him with some nutritious soup.

In the ward, after Fu Xiao hung up the phone, Zhiyue visited him with some nutritious soup.

“You finally show yourself! Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? Lingye would never allow me to get near you, even if I employ the services of a hypnotist or psychologist! But it’s great that you’re here now, and what’s more… Tongrui is far away right now in Florence. Nothing can stop us now!”

Fu Xiao was holding his phone and half-leaning on his bed. His expression was chilly, and he did not have any emotion on his face, “I want to be alone right now.”

Zhiyue was always a spoiled brat, so she could not be led around by her nose, “Hey, you’re the one who called me here! I even brought you some soup! Fu Xiao, what’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me that you are changing your mind and you would stop divorcing Tongrui?”

Fu Xiao snapped up and shot a cold glare at her. He blurted out–

“Get out now.”

“You! Don’t you forget that I was the one who saved you! If it were not for me, do you think you can resurface? You would be trapped forever in Lingye’s body!”

“You’re too noisy. Get out now.” Fu Xiao sounded even more merciless.

A bodyguard named Long Ming who followed Zhiyu jumped out and warned him, “You better watch your mouth when talking to our missus! If she did not save you in the sea last time, you would have been dead now!”

Fu Xiao ignored him.

Zhiyue gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, “Never mind, I won’t argue with you since you are hurt now. However, let me make things clear to you. You are mine. Long Ming, we are leaving.”

Long Ming shot a ferocious gaze at Fu Xiao who had no expression on his face before turning and leaving with Zhiyue.

Fu Xiao’s phone rang again. It was Tongrui again.

Fu Xiao answered the call, “If you still want to mend things…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Tongrui was snickering and sobbing at the same time, “Lingye, I will divorce you. I promise you. Now, are you finally happy?”

She sounded a little drunk.

Fu Xiao did not need to ask to know that Tongrui was drinking away her sorrow.

When he finally got that answer from her mouth, somewhere in her heart, something was nagging at him.

He clutched his chest and frowned.

Did Lingye sense this?

…

At a bar in Florence, Tongrui was seated by the window. She was sipping on the strongest liquor available, and her heart was going through a complete meltdown.

The sky was dark out there, and the light of the streets spilled into the bar. Although the night sky was littered with stars, she was not in any mood to admire the scenery.

She held her glass of alcohol and swirled it. It contained a very strong cocktail. With her swirling motion, the bright layers melded into each other into one fuzzy color. She stared at her glass and she could not stop her tears from coming. A bitter smile hung on her face.

“Everything is no more… Lingye is gone… Siqi is gone… How did things turn out like this…”

After her father’s death, she thought that she would lose the only blood relative that she had in the world. However, after returning from France three years later, a pleasant surprise was waiting for her.

It turned out that Siqi, who was absolutely adorable, was given birth by her as a surrogate parent. She thought that she was very lucky to fall in love with the father of that child. She thought that she would live happily ever after in a harmonious family.

However, everything changed in the blink of an eye. How could she lose her happy life so suddenly?

Lingye was determined to divorce her. In his eyes, she could not even compare with the Fu family.

…

In a dark corner of the streets in Florence, a Lincoln was parked right there.

“Mr. Yanchen, is that lady you saw on the plane really part of the family? Could it be that you’ve mistaken her for someone else?”

Yanchen shut her eyes while leaning on the leather backseat. He recalled that girl who was crying beside him on the plane. Then, he spoke, “I am not mistaken. She really takes after her mother when she was still young.”

“Then, shall we show ourselves to her now? But she doesn’t know us. Would it be too sudden?”

Yanchen opened his eyes, “Let’s make it like a coincidental encounter.

Yanchen had secretly put a mini tracker into her bag when he saw her on the plane.

His assistant, Kun Ye, came down from the car to open the door for him.

After stepping down from the car, Yanchen immediately walked toward that bar.

Whether she was really one of the family, a DNA test would reveal everything.

…

Tongrui had been crying for some time while sprawling on the table. She was completely drunk too.

A middle-aged foreigner came to strike up a conversation, and he was putting his hand all over her shoulders. Tongrui was annoyed as she shrugged him away impatiently.

“Go away…”

The foreigner did not seem to heed her as he continued to pester her. He was spouting disrespectful words from his mouth, “Miss, you are all alone right now. What about having a fun night with me? I will take you to the skies.”

Tongrui poured a mouthful of alcohol into her mouth and suddenly spat on his face, “Get lost!”

The foreigner was furious as he wiped his face, “Shit! B*tch!”

He was about to grab Tongrui’s hair when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The foreigner turned around and glared at Kun Ye who was holding his wrist, and Kun Ye immediately snapped his wrist. Then, he said to the foreigner in his native tongue, “Get lost now!”

The foreigner cried out in pain and he hurriedly ran away while holding his broken wrist.

When Tongrui saw Kun Ye, she cried even louder. She buried herself in his chest and wailed, “Lingye… Is that you? I know that you will come to see me in Florence… Lingye… Don’t divorce me, alright…”

Kun Ye was shocked at her reaction, “Mr. Yanchen, it seems that… She is drunk…”

Yanchen gave out instructions, “Help her to the car.”

“Roger, Mr. Yanchen.”

It was only a short distance to the car, and Tongrui could not stop scratching and punching Kun Ye, to which he had no choice but to accept her antics.

After all, this lady here could be the daughter of the Song family!

It took some effort to get her in the car. Tongrui collapsed to the leather seat and perhaps because of the comfortable environment, she was all curled up like a kitten. She continued to mutter some gibberish while her tears continued to flow. Her tears slowly wet the seats.

Yanchen sat beside her and he positioned her head on his shoulders so that she could be more comfortable.

Tongrui thought that Yanchen was the man of her dreams as she felt his muscular and warm chest.

She hooked her arms around his neck and cried out, “I know I shouldn’t blame you… I shouldn’t hate you… But I love you so much, how can you divorce me just like that? Lingye, I really miss you, no matter what I am doing at the moment, even when I am sleeping… Why don’t you take me back home from Florence? Why don’t you come to me?”

She began to shake him as Yanchen did not answer her.

She laughed bitterly, “Men are always liars… They are all liars!”

Kun Ye peered into the rear-view mirror and he could not help but wipe some cold sweat on his face.

However, Yanchen was calm. He spoke, “Look into her background, and this Lingye guy she has been talking about.”

“Yes, Mr. Yanchen. But are we bringing her back home right away?”

“We will do a DNA test first.”
