I spent the night at my mother's place.

After dawn, I returned to the tiny dwelling I shared with Ling Yu.

Ling Yu seemed unsurprised by my return.

He cast me a fleeting glance and made no mention of yesterday's events.

He casually picked up the clothes hanging on the rack, turned his head and walked out, "I'm going to work. We have a few days left till our wedding, Shen Wei, I said I wouldn't disappoint you, stop making trouble."

With just a promise not to disappoint, am I supposed to resign myself to fate?

What in this world is that easy?

Yet I made no fuss.

I didn't even say a single extra word.

Ling Yu paused slightly as he left, seemingly puzzled by my lack of confrontation, because my personality has always been intolerant of flaws.

But he ultimately said nothing and left with peace of mind.

Watching his departing figure, I lowered my head to look at my phone.

The days away from my mother were not good for me, though Mom is still my mother, my guardian is my father.
