After dinner, Ceng Jiarou repeatedly urged the two to stay for the night.

Su Qiu suddenly raised her head and a warm feeling swept across her heart.

Shen Ling's hand that was supporting the steering wheel paused for a moment and he did not say a word.

She looked at him in astonishment, disbelief written all over her face.

"You …" "This is the first time you've said such a thing."

However, he seemed to have changed recently, and became more lively. His anger reached the peak, he could not control himself, and he often teased her. All of these things made her feel very pleasantly surprised in the beginning.

But now he actually envied what he had scoffed at before, and even said what was at the bottom of his heart to her. This really shocked her.

The man smiled faintly. His smile was very pretty. He turned around and looked at the stunned woman with a gentle gaze before slowly opening his mouth. "Did I scare you?"

Su Qiu mechanically nodded her head, expressing her agreement.

"I don't know why I've become like this recently either. I'm often envious of the affection others have for me. Maybe it's because I desire it too much." After Shen Ling finished, he turned and looked at Su Qiu with a meaningful look.

She had mixed feelings in her heart, so much so that she couldn't breathe.

Did he long for love? Did he miss the woman in his heart?

As she thought of this, a strong sense of jealousy rose in her heart. This tyrannical appearance caught even her somewhat unprepared. Even the way she secretly looked at him had a trace of grief in her eyes.

"That woman must be very outstanding." She had already done her best to suppress her trembling voice, but it was still a bit shaky. It made one's heart ache.

Hearing the woman suddenly say that, Shen Ling was a little confused, and did not realise what she was saying.

The woman's eyes met his, and the unconcealed sadness in them struck him hard, the disappointment and sadness in his wife's eyes when she found out that her husband had other women in his heart, and she lowered her head when she met his gaze.

He finally understood what she meant …

Ah, this silly woman!

He helplessly shook his head and looked at her lovingly before nodding, "Yes."

She didn't dare to look into his eyes. She only listened to his incomparably gentle and firm "Yes." Her mood sank to the bottom of the valley. A hint of jealousy welled up in her eyes.

She was still a woman after all. After three years of being together with such a man, she still couldn't bear to let him live in her heart. Just like that, a root of hair had sprouted in her heart.

This was the first time she had the strong desire to see the true face of this woman. She wanted to see what kind of woman would make Shen Ling so obsessed with her that he would never forget her.

She must be extremely intelligent, gentle and beautiful, how could she enter Shen Ling's eyes?

She suddenly thought back to last time when Shen Ling said that this woman was not the Su Xia she had always thought was, and that alone gave her some comfort.

But who could it be? Unable to control herself, she started to draw the image of her imaginary enemy in her heart. She even forgot that she was just like how she had imagined that woman to be. She was smarter than others, gentle and beautiful …

A strong sense of frustration slowly gathered in Su Qiu's mind. Ever since she had made the connection with her mother-in-law, she had worked very hard to slowly replace the position of the beloved one in his heart. In this period of time, she had been full of confidence.

However, at this moment, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been ruthlessly poured over her. She was so cold that she had no ability to judge directions. She didn't know if she should continue with her plan.

What could be more heartbreaking than this naked blow to the blueprint of the good life he imagined, the sweet love he longed for, all with another woman?

Once the doubt began, it would never stop, and she would never be able to pull herself out of it, buried in the dark world she had created for herself.

The sudden silence in the carriage made Shen Ling a little worried. He looked at her worriedly, but seeing that she was still deep in thought and her body was still shrouded in a layer of faint sorrow, his heart suddenly ached.

How long would it take this woman to realize that she was the one he couldn't let go of in his heart?

Neither of them said anything else. Although they were in the same car, their moods were completely different.

The furthest distance in the world is between the current him and her. In such a small space, sitting so close to each other, yet unable to see through each other's heart …

The car window was lit up by lanterns, and there was a bustling night life everywhere. However, their hearts seemed to be shrouded in the darkness of the night, so deep that they couldn't see the end of it.

The leisurely music in the car, the warm street lamps outside, can't pacify two hearts that can't get close to scars.

Both of them had their own thoughts as they silently walked to the entrance of the small house.

After the carriage stopped, Su Qiu quickly got off, and without saying anything, she rushed up the stairs in a hurry by herself, without waiting for Shen Ling to come out.

She didn't know how she was going to face him or what she was going to say. She just knew that if she stayed with him any longer, she wanted to cry.

Shen Ling looked at her obviously fleeing figure, and his heart slowly sunk. Until that sorrowful figure disappeared down the stairs, he still looked at her for a long time, and was so stubborn that he didn't want to retract his gaze.
