Cheng Yang had booked a room in the hotel in advance, but Wen Li had not. When Cheng Yang asked someone to check her in, she was told that there were no rooms available.

Wen Li didn't care and said, "I can just live somewhere else."

Cheng Yang's assistant helped her book a nearby motel, but Cheng Yang insisted on checking out and moving in with her, saying, "I'm worried about my sister."

Wen Li forced a smile and said, "I will go to sleep as soon as I enter my room, and I will not go out tomorrow. When you go back the day after tomorrow, just ask someone to pick me up. What is there to worry about?"

His agent also said, "You are staying in a motel, what if you are photographed by fans?"

Cheng Yang then gave up and asked his assistant to accompany Wen Li to check in.

After completing the formalities, Wen Li politely sent the assistant away. Still feeling quite bad, he bought three cups of coffee at the hotel entrance and chased after him to deliver them.

After doing all this, she checked in with her suitcase, and collapsed on the bed as soon as she entered the room, not wanting to move at all.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, so she covered her eyes with her hands. Only when it was dark in front of her could she concentrate on thinking.

She started from the time when Huo Yuanchen was on a business trip, recalling and analyzing things bit by bit, only to find that there were clues to many things a long time ago.

As soon as he went abroad, he stopped replying to her messages.

She called him and he spoke in a deliberately low voice.

He did not come back with Yu Jingchen, but stayed for several more days.

The day he came back, she had a severe stomachache and when she wanted to hug him, he subconsciously avoided her.

...

His dislike for her was so obvious, but she was stupid and couldn't see through it. She was being self-indulgent, thinking that after being with him for so long, she must have developed some feelings for him.

She remembered the day An Wen came to her studio, and she secretly laughed at the girl's mean means. Now thinking about it, it was really ridiculous. She probably thought An Wen was almost laughing at her at that time.

How could she be so stupid?

Wen Li thought she was going to cry, and after being in a daze for a long time, she realized that she hadn't shed a single tear.

She even found that after knowing that Huo Yuanchen had gone abroad to accompany An Ran without telling her, she actually felt a sense of relief that "it was just as expected".

Yes, a scumbag won't suddenly change into a good man. All the good things he had done to her before were, on the one hand, out of consideration for his mother, as a reward for her accompanying Michelle Yim, and on the other hand, it was probably just a man's simple physical desire for a woman.

After all, An Ran was so far away that she couldn't satisfy his physical needs.

She was in a daze for nearly an hour, and finally slowly accepted the fact that she was just a tool for Huo Yuanchen to satisfy his desires.

After realizing this, I suddenly felt relieved.

When she no longer had unrealistic fantasies about him, the unfair treatment and grievances she suffered around him were no longer a big deal to her.

Wen Li felt a little thirsty, so she went to get the free bottle of mineral water from the hotel. When she tried to unscrew the bottle cap, it didn't open the first time, so she put a little more strength into it and twisted it hard.

As a result, she used too much force and the mineral water bottle fell from her hand and fell on the carpet. Transparent liquid flowed out and soon wet a large area of the carpet.

She picked up the bottle, screwed the cap back on, threw it in the trash, and took another one to drink from.

There's no need to feel sad about something that's already dirty.

It's not a rare thing, and it's the same if you change to another bottle.

After drinking the water, Wen Li just felt tired. He didn’t even take a shower. He took off his shoes, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

She slept until midnight, and when she checked her phone to see the time, she discovered that she had several unread messages.

One was from Cheng Yang, asking her, "Is sister feeling better?"

She felt a little sorry. She came here to work, but she caused a lot of trouble for the client.

She wanted to reply to Cheng Yang to say that everything was fine and to apologize, but when she looked at the time, she realized that he should have already gone to bed. It would not be nice to disturb him by sending him a message so late at night, so she planned to apologize tomorrow.

The other unread messages were all from Huo Yuanchen.

He sent her several photos of various sexy lingerie and asked her, "Which one do you like?"

She felt even more stupid when she remembered what she had promised him before leaving.

She deleted all the messages Huo Yuanchen sent her, and naturally, she did not reply to his messages.

Unable to sleep in the second half of the night, she tossed and turned in bed, wondering how to explain to her parents about her breakup with Huo Yuanchen.

Of course she couldn't tell the truth, she was afraid that Wen Yongjie would be so angry that he would be hospitalized because of the stupid things Huo Yuanchen had done.

But Wen Yongjie likes Huo Yuanchen very much. If she can't find a sufficient and decent reason to break up, her father might blame her for being willful and ignorant and force her to apologize to Huo Yuanchen and ask for reconciliation.

She thought of several reasons, but quickly rejected them all. After thinking about them over and over again, she felt that they were not good enough and did not notice that it was already dawn.

She didn't want to sleep, but she felt that she had almost recovered and there was no need to waste a whole day staying in the hotel.

She sent a message to Cheng Yang, first apologizing for her behavior yesterday, and then saying that she would leave early today.

As for the reason, she felt that she and Cheng Yang were not familiar with each other, and their relationship was just that of a photographer and an employer, so she made up an excuse that "something urgent happened".

Fortunately, Cheng Yang didn't ask any further questions, but just said, "I'll ask my assistant to drive my sister to the high-speed rail station. When my sister gets home, she must let me know."

She agreed, quickly packed her luggage, and waited for Cheng Yang's assistant's car.

On the way, she chatted with her assistant and inadvertently asked how Cheng Yang got his own exclusive assistant and agent as soon as he entered the entertainment industry.

The assistant smiled and said, "Our boss is Mr. Cheng's brother. Mr. Cheng can choose all the resources in the company."

Only then did Wen Li realize that Cheng Yang had such great resources behind him.

The assistant also said, "It's not just our boss. Yesterday, Mr. Meng, did you think he really came to visit the show he sponsored? Then why didn't he come earlier or later, but only came when Mr. Cheng was on the show?"

Wen Li asked him, "Did Meng Jinnian come here for Cheng Yang?"

She thought Meng Jinnian came to visit her on set because he knew about her filming for a variety show. Now she realized that she was being too sentimental again.

The assistant looked at Wen Li strangely, probably curious about how Wen Li knew Meng Jinnian's name.

He said, "We are all in the same circle, so of course Mr. Meng has to give our Mr. Cheng some face."

When Wen Li heard the word "circle", she thought a little sensitively that whether it was Meng Jinnian's circle or Huo Yuanchen's circle, it seemed that they were incompatible with her.

Yes, the Wen family has long ceased to be part of the wealthy circle in Hai City, so it is natural that she does not belong to their circle.

It was not yet noon when she returned to Haishi. She took a taxi at the high-speed rail station and asked the driver to drive to Huo Yuanchen's apartment first.

She came to take what was hers.

Afterwards, he returned to his apartment with several large suitcases.

In the evening, Huo Yuanchen called her.

She didn't answer the first time, but she did the second time.

He spoke, his voice full of impatience and accusation, and asked her, "What are you making a fuss about?"
