Fang Ze's hand holding the bread froze, and he looked at Liang Yu:

"What is it that requires us to talk privately?"

Liang Yu hummed in agreement and answered seriously:

"This is a very important matter, and I hope you will take it seriously."

Fang Ze frowned slightly:

"Okay, tonight then. I'll try to be back as early as possible."

Liang Yu said "okay" and got up to walk to the third floor.

As I went upstairs, I heard Shi Yue muttering:

"Brother Fang Ze, did I upset Sister Liang Yu?"

Fang Ze replied in an older brother's tone:

"Eat well and don't overthink it."

Liang went upstairs to start packing his things.

Aside from some clothes and important documents, she didn't have much else.

The only thing was the walls covered with medical books.

Liang Yu studied clinical medicine as an undergraduate.

If it weren't for that car accident, she would have pursued neurosurgery in graduate school and eventually become a neurosurgeon.

Judging from the current state of her hand recovery, she will likely never be able to pursue a career as a doctor.

But this did not stop her from studying medical books.

So she definitely wanted to take all those books with her.

Liang Yu spent the entire day in his room sorting and packing books.

She packed very slowly, and by the time the room was dark, there were still more than half a wall of books that hadn't been packed up.

Liang Yu decided to stop and rest. At her speed of sorting and packing, she could only move things little by little, like an ant carrying food.

She first packed some clothes, took her important documents, and dragged her suitcase into the car.

As I passed through the living room, Aunt Mei was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Liang Yu had barely eaten anything all day, but the aroma of the food was making her hungry. She walked to the kitchen door, tilted her head, and looked at Aunt Mei with a smile.

Aunt Mei saw Liang Yu at the door, a warm smile on her face, and picked up a piece of lean meat, feeding it to Liang Yu's mouth:

"Madam, could you please check the saltiness for me?"

Liang Yu ate the lean meat in one bite, his eyes crinkling as he mumbled:

"If you can't taste the saltiness in just one piece of meat, have a few more to try."

Aunt Mei happily kept feeding Liang Yu.

Liang Yu ate several pieces of lean meat in a row. When he returned to the living room and turned on the TV, his phone vibrated. A message had come from an unknown number.

Now I finally understand why Fang Ze never takes you to public places. The way you eat is so embarrassing for him. Taking you out only makes him feel awkward.

Then came a photo.

In a brightly lit banquet hall, Shi Yue, dressed in a haute couture gown, linked arms with Fang Ze on the left and held a champagne glass in her right hand, as they socialized with the crowd surrounding them.

Shi Yue smiled radiantly, standing side by side with the refined and elegant Fang Ze, like a perfect couple.

There is a text below the photo.

[It turns out no one knew you existed. Everyone was amazed, saying I was the only female companion Fang Ze had ever brought out, and they even asked when we were getting married.]

Liang Yu checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock, so he sent a message to Fang Ze.

Are you coming back tonight?

An hour later, Fang Ze replied with a message that contained only one word.

【Reply. 】

Liang Yu has always followed Fang Ze's timing.

If she wants to see Fang Ze or even just have a few words with him, she has to wait until he's available.

Either wait until midnight, or meet Fang Ze when he comes home.

Either wait until breakfast time, or sit at the table and glance at Fang Ze a few more times.

Liang Yu never thought there was anything wrong with this before.

She thought they would be together forever.

Fang Ze can't be this busy forever, can he?

Anyway, she's always at home.

It doesn't matter if we keep waiting for Fang Ze.

Liang Yu and Fang Ze were waiting for a hope.

Liang Yu and Fang Ze are now waiting for an end.

A marriage characterized by one-sided, prolonged waiting must come to an end.

Liang Yu leaned against the sofa, watching TV while waiting for Fang Ze to return, and unknowingly fell asleep.

When she woke up, the only light in the entire living room was on above the dining table, where a sumptuous dinner was neatly laid out on the heated mat.

Liang Yu picked up his phone and glanced at it.

It's already 2 a.m.

Fang Ze has not returned yet.

My phone has messages and missed calls from Lin Xiao, as well as text messages from unknown numbers.

Liang Yu first opened Lin Xiao's message.

[Xiao Yu, how did your talk with Fang Ze go? Are you in Lishu Village now? Do you want me to come and keep you company?]

Seeing that Liang Yu hadn't replied to her message, Lin Xiao hurriedly made two phone calls.

Liang Yu quickly replied with a message.

[Xiaoxiao, I'm in Redwood Bay. Fang Ze hasn't come back yet. I'm waiting for him to return so we can talk about the divorce. Don't worry about me.]

Liang Yu thought Lin Xiao was already asleep at this time, but to his surprise, Lin Xiao replied instantly.

[Why did it take you so long to reply? I was so worried! I was just about to drive to Lishu Village to find you. Since you're alright, I'm going to wash up and go to bed. I have surgery tomorrow morning. Don't reply now.]

Liang Yu opened the message from the unfamiliar number.

Did Fang Ze stay up by your bedside overnight?

Below is a photo taken under a dim night light.

The perspective is that of the person lying in bed, who secretly filmed Fang Ze, who was guarding the bedside.

In the dim, yellowish light, Fang Ze sat on the floor wearing a white haute couture shirt, his back against the edge of the bed. The shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong and muscular forearms. His long, slender fingers held a mobile phone to his ear, making a call.

The diamond-encrusted cufflinks sparkled in the dim light; they were the same cufflinks Fang Ze had worn during breakfast.

It seems the banquet ended long ago. Fang Ze didn't come back because he was putting Shi Yue to sleep.

Liang Yu sent Fang Ze a message.

When are you coming back?

After sending the message, Liang Yu watched TV while waiting for a reply.

They waited until dawn.

Fang Ze did not reply to the message.

However, as dawn broke, it became even less likely that Fang Ze would return.

Liang Yu got up, went up to the third floor, took a shower, and went to bed.

This was the last time she would wait for Fang Ze.

As long as Fang Ze returns, as long as they finish discussing the divorce.

She will never wait for Fang Ze again.

In the evening, Liang Yu sat on the living room sofa as usual, watching TV while waiting for Fang Ze to return.

It wasn't until after midnight that two beams of headlights finally lit up in the courtyard.

When Fang Ze pushed open the door to the living room, he saw Liang Yu standing in front of the sofa.

Fang Ze frowned slightly, his tone somewhat surprised:

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Liang Yu looked at Fang Ze and said seriously:

"I'm waiting for you. I have something important to talk to you about."

Fang Ze casually draped his bespoke suit jacket over the hanger, loosened his tie with one hand, and spoke with a hint of impatience:

"It's too late, you should go to sleep first. I'm also very tired. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."

Fang Ze took off his tie and casually tossed it aside. He then strode towards the stairs, seemingly having no intention of talking to Liang Yu at all.

Liang Yu unconsciously pinched his index finger with his thumb, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

She glared at Fang Ze and asked loudly:

"If you married Shi Ya, would you make her wait for you until midnight?"
