Chu Mucheng sat in the car, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned off the engine, got out, and came to the front of that apartment.

Actually, just turning his head, he could see the door next to it.

That’s where An Xiaoyu once lived.

Back then, he bought this apartment just to be a little closer to her, closer and closer.

But, what’s the use of living close?

Their hearts... are still so far apart.

Chu Mucheng let out a chuckle.

An Xiaoyu already has Shen Yufeng, she probably will never return here. And this apartment, she probably already canceled the lease!

Nowadays, this small apartment he bought seems to mock the childish and crazy things he did in the past.

But the crazier thing is that he actually... brought a strange woman back and even did such things to her.

The madness of that night remains vivid in memory.

He admits that he’s not a gentleman.

But later, he learned that the woman’s name is Tao Zhixiang, and she was actually a fellow alumnus.

Originally, he thought that after that night, they would go their separate ways, but unexpectedly, he allowed that woman to stay here.

Being with her, the feeling... is very strange.

It’s as if she can tolerate all his bad moods, endure all his bad temper.

In front of her, he seems to be able to vent recklessly, without hiding.

And she would cook for him...

That woman, when soft, is like a little bunny, pitiful, making one want to torment her fiercely.

But when strong, the cool expression between her brows carries detachment and an unassailable, pure aloofness.

Very contradictory, isn’t it?

Yet he still used that method... to keep her here.

Her mother’s medical bills...

To her, it’s a huge sum of money, but to him, it’s just a drop in the ocean.

So, he admits he was despicable.

He once told her, Tao Zhixiang, you were the one to provoke me first, so don’t think about retreating now. Until I tire of you, you can only be my woman!

So under this guise and pretext, he made that woman stay!

Actually, he has many women, missing one wouldn’t matter, but she makes him feel... very at ease.

Many thoughts surged in Chu Mucheng’s mind, momentarily chaotic.

And when he carried such thoughts and opened the door, upon entering, he found the house empty, and at that moment, his handsome brows furrowed.

So... went home for new year’s?

Chu Mucheng walked into the kitchen and found a set of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, and a dish on the table, it seemed fresh.

And in the pot on the gas stove, there was jujube porridge, which also seemed freshly made.

Looking at the countertop, there were still wet water stains, also newly left.

So... she hasn’t gone home for the new year!

Realizing this, Chu Mucheng’s mood immediately improved significantly.

But, so late... where did she go?

Chu Mucheng squinted his eyes, called Tao Zhixiang, but on the other side came the prompt tone — The number you dialed is turned off!

For some reason, hearing this cold, unfeeling prompt tone, Chu Mucheng’s slightly relaxed and cheerful mood suddenly turned into stormy clouds.

This woman, so late... where did she go?
