Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.

Besides, he had a failed marriage that could be described as a loveless union arranged by his parents.

Although this lack of affection was only from his side toward his wife, regardless of the type, emotions between husband and wife are always foremost.

Chu Jingyun said, "I’m 27 this year, soon to be 28, yet I remain so stubborn. Don’t you think I’m quite foolish too?"

Lin Junyi knew that the reason for Chu Jingyun’s weariness was still related to that man.

Even during their occasional casual chats, they couldn’t escape mentioning that man!

His thin lips moved a bit, and he said, "Yes, very foolish, so much that I often don’t know what you’re holding onto..."

Chu Jingyun smiled, "Holding onto my own foolishness, what else could it be?"

Lin Junyi frowned and said, "Jingyun, although I know you might not listen, as a friend, saying nothing would be a disservice to you... Let go, let go of Song Yansheng. This man might be excellent and great, but he is destined not to be yours, especially now that he is already married. If you continue, you’d become the third party ruining someone else’s marriage. You’re such a good woman, how can you be the third party? You..."

"Stop talking..." Chu Jingyun didn’t want to hear any more. The third party?

Those three words were truly hurtful!

After all, for the past seven years, she had been the woman closest to Song Yansheng.

But now, out of nowhere, she had become the third party!

Chu Jingyun said, "You don’t understand... you will never understand the pain in my heart..."

"How could I not understand?" Lin Junyi laughed self-deprecatingly, "Jingyun, all these years, you watched Song Yansheng, but have you ever noticed someone else was always watching you? You’re in pain, I can see that clearly. But your pain, have you ever seen mine?"

Chu Jingyun frowned without speaking.

Lin Junyi took out his phone and sent a link to Chu Jingyun’s phone.

"Take a look, maybe after watching, some of your thoughts will change... Jingyun, I believe you understand Song Yansheng better than I do. You could say that anyone woman in T City that he desires doesn’t have to be through marriage, but why did he do it this time? Think about it!"

After saying that, Lin Junyi turned and left the office, and Chu Jingyun watched his figure walk away, saying nothing.

After a while, she finally opened the news link Lin Junyi had sent her.

Chu Jingyun read it earlier among many websites before they were managed by public relations, but it was evident TK had already taken action.

Underneath the article, many netizens commented, speculating that the woman in the photo was Ji Xiangling.

Some expressed that the couple looked good together, while others felt they weren’t well-matched at all.

Another group felt sympathetic toward Song Yansheng’s so-called "exes," such as Yao Ziwan, with whom he had rumors, and her.

Mostly, they lamented because Song Yansheng was no longer single.

Chu Jingyun continued scrolling and saw a comment that said: "Let’s not mention Yao Ziwan, but it’s been many years between Chu Jingyun and Song Yansheng, yet she was still left behind. And how coincidentally, months before Ji Xiangling returned to the country, she was already let go. Evidently, Song Yansheng intends to clear his emotional slate to welcome his former girlfriend back!"

At that moment, Chu Jingyun wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

She had thought about when Song Yansheng would bring Shi Nuan into the public eye.

Introducing Shi Nuan to everyone, letting the world know she was his wife.

She knew he would certainly do that, surely!

Just like Lin Junyi said, she understood Song Yansheng. She knew that since Song Yansheng married Shi Nuan, it wasn’t simply because he liked her.

He had fallen in love with Shi Nuan, really fallen in love.

Although the reason for falling in love, as she learned from Ji Xiangling, made it hard to accept.

But falling in love was falling in love; it couldn’t be changed.

Yet she didn’t expect everything to happen so quickly!

Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan’s relationship was still warming up; such exposure at this time was not favorable to her.

Because at this moment, Song Yansheng would certainly protect Shi Nuan with all his might.

Yes, with all his might, and that wasn’t the outcome she wanted to see.

She had been quietly waiting, not because her heart was unruffled, but because she knew at this time, doing anything would be futile.

Her thin lips moved slightly, as she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered, with a soft and slightly low voice of a girl on the other end.

She said, "Hello? Hey, I’m lv Nan Nan, may I ask who’s calling?"
