Suddenly, the surrounding lights went dim and then different colored lights began to shot out, just like in a nightclub. The once calm hot spring pool, now rippled, like waves crashing against the shore.

Xue Feifei explained, “Tonight they’re hosting a ‘Mysterious Night’ themed event here. Rumor has it that a lot of handsome guys will be attending. Just look at your current lifestyle, it’s like you’re a retired cadre at a nursing home. Why not seize this opportunity to let your hair down? A woman’s youth gets extended by mingling and chatting with charming men.”

To prove her point, many men and women dressed in bikinis began to flood into the hot spring. Many of them were indeed good-looking with attractive figures. No wonder earlier Xue Feifei shook her head in disapproval when she saw that Lu Weixi planned on wearing a conservative one-piece swimsuit with a small skirt. Feifei insisted that she wear a sexy bikini instead.

As the deafening music started, Lu Weixi frowned and shook her head lazily. “Go and have fun. Leave me here to rest.”

Xue Feifei was perplexed, “What’s wrong with you? You weren’t like this before. Did Qin Zhiyou control you? This jerk is out there enjoying himself but still trying to interfere in your life. I remember when Qin Zhigu even agreed to accompany you to the nightclub.”

“This has nothing to do with Qin Zhiyou, it’s my choice.” Maybe it was maturity, or perhaps just fatigue. The days of spending nights in clubs, drinking, and dancing away were long gone. Looking back, she didn’t think it was that enjoyable. It was just a way to kill time.

These days, she was constantly thinking about how to work hard to make money, how to take care of her mother, and how to better her own life. She just didn’t have the time or the energy to indulge in such frivolity.

Moreover, isn’t it too noisy in the club? Aren’t there too many sleazy men trying to grope you? And don’t they water down the drinks at clubs?

Lu Weixi shifted her position, leaning against the edge of the pool facing the water. Her arms gently floated on the water surface, creating ripples. Her mood fluctuated with the waves.

Not long after she married Qin Zhiyou, Qin Zhigu went abroad. Although he had been away for years, learning or avoiding gossip, he was always a member of Qin family. He would come back one day, and they would inevitably meet again. She had already prepared for this emotionally.

To say that she felt nothing when hearing his name was a lie. After all, he was her first love, and they had been together for three years from freshman to senior year.

However, what she could never forget was his mistrust and betrayal.

Xue Feifei asked her what she thought, and that’s what she thought. From her parent’s divorce, her best friend’s betrayal, to the moment when Qin Zhigu broke up with her, she knew that she could not rely on men, friends, and sometimes even close relatives.

The only thing she could rely on was herself, her work, and the money she earned.

Compared to Qin Zhigu, she even felt more comfortable with Qin Zhiyou now. They keep their monetary transactions clear, and her status as Mrs. Qin was unshakeable. What else could she ask for?

Love affairs were indeed a drain on finances.

Xue Feifei turned around along with her, sitting shoulder to shoulder with her, and stared at the petals floating on the water that danced with the waves. “But, I heard that Qin Zhigu might be coming back soon. What will you do if you guys meet?”

Lu Weixi’s expression didn’t change, not even an eyebrow twitched. She gave a faint laugh..
