Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

It was two in the morning in Florence.

It was two in the morning in Florence.

Tongrui had been fidgeting with the pen for a long time. She mustered a lot of courage, yet she was unable to sign the papers.

In the divorce agreement, even the amount of alimony had been spelled out clearly. Lingye had really set his mind to divorce her. It was inevitable.

In their relationship, she was always the passive one. However, it was Lingye who had taken the initiative to divorce her. There was no way she could sit still and allow that to happen just like that.

Once this divorce was set in stone, her life would be a barren wasteland. There would be no Lingye to accompany her, and it meant that the woman who stood beside him would be a new one.

Tongrui wiped her tears away and took her phone. She decided to make that call.

It was in the death of the night in Florence, but the sun would soon rise in North City.

…

At that moment, Fu Xiao, who had taken over Lingye’s body, saw the incoming call. He saw that it was a call made from Florence. A terrible glint appeared in his eyes.

He immediately rejected the call.

…

Tongrui was trying her best to dry her tears while holding her phone. When she heard the line go dead because the other party did not want to answer, a new wave of tears came to her eyes.

Lingye had rejected her call…

Was he angry at her for disappearing into thin air without saying goodbye?

Other than this, Tongrui did not dare to bring herself to entertain other possibilities–

Was he so heartless to the point that he did not even bother to talk to her after making up his mind about the divorce?

Even if their divorce was on the horizon, she still wanted to hear his voice.
