Tan Yubai leaned against the door, sat on the ground to rest for a while, and finally accumulated some strength. He propped himself up against the wall and felt a sharp pain.

Tan Yubai sat in front of his desk, his phone had information on Shang Duo, and as he sat there lost in thought, he thought about all the things that happened between him and Shang Duo in the afternoon.

Tan Yubai naturally scoffed at him. He said, "Why?"

Shang Duo paused for a moment before continuing, "Shang Hui holds onto the most important resources of the merchant's underworld. If we do not find him, it will cause the merchant's to lose a large amount of profits."

Tan Yubai only coldly replied: "What does the Shang Clan's profits have to do with me?"

"If Shang Hui used the resources in his hands to stand up again, do you think he would let your wife off?"

Tan Yubai was startled.

Shang Duo caught every single detail on Tan Yubai's expression, and continued to exaggerate, "You must know Shang Hui has other intentions towards your wife, not to mention your wife's attitude, just based on Shang Hui's attack, very few women would be able to fully resist it right?"

Tan Yubai did not say a word. He knew what kind of woman Yu Meng was, and he did not need to explain himself.

"I know you must have a way to find out where Shang Hui is." Shang Duo opened his mouth: "Listen to my advice, no matter how much you trust your woman, remember, no matter how much she loves you, she's still a woman."

"She is a woman who loves to be pampered and held in the palm of her hand. She is also a woman who no one can guarantee that she will never change her mind."

"Only by ensuring that Shang Hui would never appear in front of her will we be able to completely eliminate any future troubles."

Shang Duo gave Tan Yubai a choice before leaving confidently.

Tan Yubai believed that it was impossible to reach a consensus with someone like Shang Duo.

He could not do such a despicable thing.

But at this very moment, Tan Yubai's heart couldn't help but waver.

Shang Hui could come and meet Yu Meng anytime he wanted, and he could insert the needle into the needle whenever he saw a crack.

Maybe Shang Duo was right.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The door to the study room was suddenly knocked. Tan Yubai put his phone back into the drawer without batting an eyelid.

Yu Meng walked in, holding a steaming bowl of slim figures in her hands.

"I cooked noodles for you."

Tomato and egg noodles, red and yellow color seems to be very easy to stimulate the appetite.

Tan Yubai raised his hand from his stomach and picked up the chopsticks on the table, stirring the noodles in the bowl.

"Is it a stomachache?" Having been with Tan Yubai for such a long time, she could easily tell whether or not he had a stomachache.

Tan Yubai's lips turned white, he pursed his lips and pretended to be strong: "I'm fine."

Yu Meng squatted beside Tan Yubai's chair and rubbed both of her hands together to heat him up. Then, she reached into his clothes and placed her hand on his stomach.

"Go ahead and eat. It'll be more comfortable this way."

Tan Yubai looked down at Yu Meng, his black eyes filled with love.

"Yes."

Until now, nothing could match the temperature of her palm.

After Tan Yubai ate a few bites, his stomach began to ache and he couldn't eat too much. He put down the chopsticks and pulled Yu Meng who was beside him up, placing her on his lap.

"My feet must be numb."

His palm was still warm from the bowl, so he held Yu Meng's foot and massaged it bit by bit.

"No, I didn't squat for too long." Yu Meng asked Tan Yubai in a soft voice, her head leaning on his shoulder as she wrapped her arms around Tan Yubai's neck.

"What friends did you meet this afternoon?"

Tan Yubai paused for a moment, then carried Yu Meng's waist and stood up. He walked out of the study room and headed towards the bedroom.

As they walked, they said, "My former business associates, they were working on a new project and wanted to see if I was interested."

"Oh." Yu Meng was placed on the bed by Tan Yubai. She turned around and looked at Tan Yubai who was unbuckling his belt on the bed, "Are you interested in joining them?"

"Yes." Tan Yubai took off his clothes and crawled back into the blanket, hugging Yu Meng's soft and warm body, he calmed himself down: "I agree."

Yu Meng did not say anything, her head in Tan Yubai's embrace as she spoke in a muffled voice.

"Sleep, I'm so tired."

Tan Yubai didn't understand the emotions behind her words. He only thought that Yu Meng was really tired, so he tucked her in, and then whispered in her ear, "Good night wife."

In the dark room, the curtain was tightly shut, blocking all the moonlight. One bed, two people, but not the same heart.

The reason why Yu Meng asked Tan Yubai who she went to see in the afternoon was because when she was helping her pack up her new suit, she found Shang Duo's name card in her pocket.

This clearly showed who the person he was meeting in the afternoon was.

But when she asked him, he lied to her.

Yu Meng had originally wanted to be honest with Shang Hui about his visit this afternoon, but she wasn't able to give him an honest answer when she tried to probe him. This made her prepare to be honest, so she lost the courage to bring it out.

A barrier was the most vicious tumor in a relationship. However, it was always easy to produce one.

They all slept together, but each had his own thoughts.

When Yu Meng decided to visit Lina's grave, Tan Yubai happened to be busy. Recently, he had been leaving his house frequently, so Yu Meng did not ask too much.

Some questions were better hidden in the mind than spoken.

The address of Lina's grave was very far from where Yu Meng lived. She had been driving for around two hours.

This place used to be a barren mountain in the suburbs, but it was later converted into a cemetery. The summer was very hot, and the sun was high in the sky, but there were very few shade trees to take advantage of.

Only after Yu Meng asked the person in charge did she find out the exact location of Lina's tombstone. The distance between them was too far for the car to travel, so she could only go on foot.

As they walked, Yu Meng's sweat dripped all the way down. She had forced herself to face Lina's death and face all these serious matters.

After walking for about 20 minutes, she finally saw Lina's photo.

There was a two-inch black and white photo, embedded in the middle of a black stone tablet. The picture of her in the picture was very light, completely different from the one she usually wore on TV.

This way of looking at her, it was simple and pure, the kind of look that all good-looking girls have.

Such a good life, he would not be here if he said it wasn't.

Yu Meng did not know how the Shang family had sealed off the news of Lina's death.

The focus of everyone's attention these days was on the Shang family's matters.

Yu Meng found it harder and harder to understand the social order of this society.

She placed the words she brought under the photo with Lina, then bowed deeply and sincerely said "I'm sorry."

She knew that this apology was useless, but the only thing she could do was do those meaningless things.

There were no withered flowers here, the only flowers that were more than enough for a dream. Probably because no one knew that Lina was currently buried here, only Dream knew.

It was sad just to think about it, how crazy she was when she was alive, how she wore the most beautiful dress and was published in magazines all over the world, how she played the role of the most painful sadness, how she participated in the most hilarious evening shows, how she was surrounded by so many people, how she had so much love and care, but now, she could only exist in such a small square box without anyone being sad.

Yu Meng knew that all of this tragedy happened because of her.

She looked at the stone stele in front of her, and her heart began to ache. She had lost too many people in her life, and had also failed too many.

All the sadness and sorrow from the past had melted onto Lina's body at this moment, and turned into her face, and her figure. It was imprinted in Yu Meng's mind, and would remain there for days and nights, unforgettable.

She was destined to bear this sin and move forward. She was destined to pay the price for her actions.

There was a gust of wind, blowing white petals into the air. The fog was too thick, and no matter where she looked she would be completely pale. Yu Meng stood there unmoving. Suddenly, she felt very tired from living.

Only by dying would he be released. Only then would he be done with it.

She felt that there was no point in trying so hard to live. She looked at the petals under her feet, the petals falling into the soil, even though they had been beautiful and bright, but in the end they had still been crushed and turned into someone else's mud.

In the gloomy and cold atmosphere, the sound of footsteps slowly approached.

Yu Meng looked back, her eyes still glazed over.

The man wore the simplest kind of hooded gray frock coat, beige slacks, and had his hands in his pockets. He stood not far away from the only tree on the hill.

He paused and continued to walk toward Yu Meng.

"Shang Hui? "Why did you come here?" Yu Meng furrowed her brows. The man in front of her really did surprise her.

"I was waiting for you."

"When I told you the address of Lina's tomb, I knew that you would definitely come, so I waited for you here."

Yu Meng turned around and looked at Lina's tombstone and sighed.

"If you were to say that you were always here to accompany her, she would perhaps be happier."

Shang Hui stood beside Yu Meng and looked at the photo of Lina.

"I've lied to her for a lifetime, and now that she's dead, I don't want to lie to her anymore."

Yu Meng felt her heart ache.

"Aren't you sad? The memories that she and you had, when you remember them now, won't you be reluctant to part with them? "

Shang Hui sighed.

"I'm not you. I can't look forward to this world, much less give my heart to everyone."

Yu Meng felt a sense of loss. When he said so much, it basically meant that he was not sad.

If Lina could hear it, she wondered if she would regret paying everything for this man.

"When you're not in love, each man is more cold-blooded than the last."

The corners of Yu Meng's mouth curled up, but bitterness overflowed from within.

"Little Meng …" Shang Hui frowned slightly. He wanted to step forward and explain something, but he suddenly heard clapping sounds from the quiet surroundings.

The sounds of clapping followed the messy footsteps of the group, getting closer and closer.
