the other side.

Nan Shu had been restless ever since she left Qi Yuye's room.

Qi Yuye's sudden announcement of wanting to remarry was like a huge stone thrown into her calm heart, causing a huge upheaval on the tranquil lake of her mind.

Seeing Nan Shu lost in thought again, Enen couldn't help but speak up.

"Mom, your lines are crooked!"

Hearing the "hmm" sound, Nan Shu immediately came back to her senses.

She looked at the half-finished drawing on the paper in front of her. A long line had been added to the leg of the horse that was already formed.

This is the art project that Enen needs to complete at kindergarten. Enen looks at the damaged horse, her mouth is drooping, and she looks like she's about to cry.

Seeing Enen like this, Nan Shu felt both guilty and heartbroken.

She quickly patted Enen's head and apologized to him.

"I'm sorry, Mom didn't mean to."

"Mom has a way to salvage this painting, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, the tears in Hmm's eyes gradually disappeared.

He rubbed his little nose and then nodded emphatically.

"good!"

Seeing how well-behaved Enen was, Nan Shu felt her heart soften again.

Her poop was so well-behaved...

Nan Shu held Enen's hand and added a few strokes to the paper, and a lifelike little pony appeared next to the previous horse.

Nan Shu pointed to the two horses and said, "Yes, look, this is the mother horse, and this is the foal, and this is its child."

Hmm, looking at the painting in front of him, clapped his hands happily.

"I know, just like my mom and I! The little pony will always be with my mom, and I will always be with my mom too!"

Enen reached out and hugged Nan Shu, her small body giving Nan Shu tremendous energy at that moment.

Nan Shu took a deep breath and cleared her mind of all the random thoughts.

At this moment, only her two children matter.

The phone next to me suddenly lit up, and a unique ringtone suddenly sounded.

Nan Shu was stunned when she heard the familiar ringtone.

This custom ringtone was something Chen Jingyan insisted on back then. He said that even if it was a fake marriage, they should at least make it look like it.

Nan Shu thought it was just a ringtone, so she changed it.

Since that day they met, Nan Shu has not seen Chen Jingyan for a long time, and Chen Jingyan has not contacted her again.

Nan Shu had already sent the signed divorce agreement to Chen Jingyan. She had always thought that Chen Jingyan would never contact her again in this lifetime.

After hesitating for a moment, Nan Shu finally answered the phone.

On the phone, Chen Jingyan's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a lingering gloom in it.

"Nan Shu, let's meet."

"I think we shouldn't meet..."

Nan Shu paused for a moment, then finally steeled herself and said those words.

"Jingyan, I know you like me, but I can't reciprocate your feelings, so this is the only way to end it. I hope you won't blame me."

After saying that, Nan Shu hung up the phone.

The call had barely ended when Chen Jingyan called again, unwilling to give up.

Just as Nan Shu was about to hang up, seeing the number flashing on the screen, she saw a text message from Chen Jingyan.

"If you won't see me, then I'll go to the Qi family to find you."

Seeing these two sentences on the screen, Nan Shu had no choice but to answer the phone.

The call connected, and Chen Jingyan's voice came through immediately.

"Same place today at noon, see you there! I'll be waiting for you."

Nan Shu knew where Chen Jingyan was referring to; it was a restaurant she used to love, and Chen Jingyan would often take time to go there with her after they got married.

Nan Shu remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Okay, see you there."

Perhaps some things can only be truly resolved by meeting in person.

With noon fast approaching, Nan Shu had no choice but to entrust her baby to Wang Ma.

Seeing Nan Shu about to leave, Wang Ma subconsciously asked a question.

"Is Miss Nan heading out to meet a client?"

Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face stiffened instantly.

She nodded and forced a smile.

"Yes, I might be back a little late today. Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Wang Ma immediately waved her hand and said.

"Miss Nan, please don't stand on ceremony with me. This is my duty. Besides, Hmm is very well-behaved and cute, and I'm happy to keep him company."

After entrusting Enen to her care, Nan Shu finally left the house.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Nan Shu gave Chen Jingyan's name, and the waiter led her directly to a private room.

When Nan Shu arrived at the private room, Chen Jingyan was already waiting inside.

Seeing that half of the bottle of wine in front of Chen Jingyan was gone, Nan Shu felt a little worried. She quickly walked in and snatched the wine glass from Chen Jingyan's hand.

"Stop drinking! You're torturing yourself!"

Chen Jingyan raised his eyes to look at Nan Shu and chuckled softly.

"You've finally arrived..."

"You still have feelings for me, don't you, Nan Shu?"

Upon hearing Chen Jingyan's words, Nan Shu fell silent.

Chen Jingyan shook his head and looked up at the waiter at the door.

"Everyone's here, let's serve the food."

At Chen Jingyan's command, the waiters began to bring out the prepared dishes one after another.

Standing next to Chen Jingyan, Nan Shu felt both anxious and resentful upon seeing his state.

"Please sit down, all of these are your favorite dishes."

Seeing that Nan Shu was still standing, Chen Jingyan suddenly reached out and pulled Nan Shu to sit down next to him.

Nan Shu sat down without any intention of eating.

She turned to look at Chen Jingyan, her expression serious, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Jingyan, I hope you understand that the reason I met you today is so that you can understand that it's impossible for us anymore. I hope you can meet someone you like who also likes you."

"You don't need to waste your time on me, I..."

"I ordered so many of your favorite dishes, why aren't you eating them?"

Chen Jingyan's voice carried a hint of anger as he turned to look at Nan Shu, his expression gloomy.

Nan Shu was startled by Chen Jingyan's expression and subconsciously took a step back.

Noticing Nan Shu's actions, Chen Jingyan's expression turned even uglier.

"Do you hate me that much, Nan Shu?"

"That's not how it is, Brother Jingyan, listen to me..."

Nan Shu was about to explain when Chen Jingyan interrupted her.

"You'd rather have dinner with a young man who's just taken over at Shengda Group and doesn't have much experience than have dinner with me, right?"

"Am I really that unattractive to you? Do you like him?"

"If you can accept someone like that, why can't you accept me?"

Chen Jingyan pressed closer and closer, leaving Nan Shu with no choice but to retreat to the side.

"No, you've misunderstood me. We just had a meal together."

Nan Shu was surprised that Chen Jingyan had seen her having dinner with Song Mingkai, so she quickly explained.

"I don't look down on you, Jingyan. You're a very good person in my heart."
