Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

A flock of crows suddenly flew over Lin Xiao's head.

She was utterly speechless.

She was almost certain that Kang Liang didn't want to invite his friends to dinner at home.

Cutting board, spatula, seasonings—aren't these essential for cooking?

Why didn't you buy any when you went grocery shopping?

Will Kang Liang come over again to borrow rice, flour, and gas?

Lin Xiao was amused by her own guess and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Xiao quickly smiled and said:

"Mr. Kang, why don't you go back and take a proper inventory to see what else is missing? You can borrow everything at once."

Kang Liang was extremely embarrassed; he was so embarrassed he could barely keep digging his toes out of his face. He could only keep apologizing.

"I'm so sorry for the trouble. I'll be more careful next time and make sure I have everything ready. I'll return everything I borrowed today, double the amount, tomorrow."

Seeing Kang Liang's uneasy yet righteous demeanor, Lin Xiao couldn't bear to make things difficult for him any longer.

After all, it's just borrowing some things, and we're neighbors, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

Lin Xiao immediately and gently comforted him:

"No need for that, it's nothing valuable. Wait a moment, I'll go get you the seasonings."

Lin Xiao hung up the video doorbell, then went into the kitchen and took a bottle each of unopened oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, putting them all into a gift bag.

She carried the spice bag to the gate of the courtyard, opened the gate, and handed the spice bag to Kang Liang:

"These are all new. Luckily, we stocked up on a lot of kitchen supplies when we went to the supermarket before."

He then emphasized:

"I've given it all to you, you don't need to return it."

Kang Liang accepted the bag with both hands and thanked him repeatedly:

"Ms. Lin, thank you so much for today, Ms. Liang."

"Um... actually, I cooked quite a lot of dishes. If you and Miss Liang don't mind, why don't you come over for a meal together?"

"Just like last time we had a barbecue in the yard, consider this my way of thanking you for lending me so many things."

After Kang Liang finished speaking, his heart was in his throat.

Actually, Yan Qi had instructed him to find out about Liang Yu's situation.

Yan Qi dared not contact Liang Yu now, so he had Kang Liang come and inquire about Liang Yu's situation.

In the current situation, Kang Liang can't even get through the gate, and Lin Xiao doesn't want to mention Liang Yu in front of him. How can he find out about Liang Yu's situation?

Kang Liang was somewhat troubled.

So he had no choice but to make excuses to visit them again and again.

Lin Xiao listened to Kang Liang's words, shook his head decisively, and said:

"We've already eaten. Thank you for the invitation. Let's meet again next time."

Let's make an appointment next time, which means there will be another chance to meet.

Kang Liang nodded and replied with a smile:

"Okay, no problem, let's meet again next time."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I will return everything tomorrow."

Lin smiled and said, "No need to rush to pay it back," and then closed the door.

Kang Liang carried the spice bag to the next room, secretly planning how to find an excuse to see Liang Yu tomorrow.

The task Yan Qi gave him was somewhat difficult.

It would be better to just plant a bug in the middle of the night, then we'd know everything.

After Lin Xiao returned to the house, she lay down on the sofa and said to Liang Yu beside her:

"Kang Liang just invited us to dinner. Why did he borrow so much stuff before inviting us? Why didn't he invite us from the beginning?"

"If he had invited us over for dinner earlier, I wouldn't have needed to cook, and he could have used our kitchen."

Liang Yu swallowed the cherry tomato in his mouth and replied with a smile:

"Maybe they've borrowed too many things and are embarrassed to ask us for a favor."

"Besides, everyone else is his friend, why should we go and join in the fun?"

Lin Xiao picked up a cherry tomato, put it in her mouth, and muttered:

"He's our neighbor, and we'll have to deal with him a lot more in the future."

"Besides, when we invited him to a barbecue in the yard last time, everyone else was also our friend. I saw that Kang Liang wasn't reserved at all and even did a lot of work."

"If he invites us, we don't need to feel awkward."

Liang Yu nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. If Kangliang invites us to dinner, we'll go if you say so."

No. 29, Lishu Village.

Kang Liang stood at the kitchen doorway, looking helplessly at the cutting board, spatula, and seasonings on the stove.

Actually, he can't cook many dishes, and he doesn't really entertain friends.

It was all a clumsy excuse to get closer to Liang Yu in the next room.

The kitchen was deserted and quiet; the gas stove had never even been used.

In the study on the second floor, Yan Qi sat on the leather sofa with his long legs crossed, his eyes slightly lowered, his long eyelashes concealing all the emotions in his eyes, but his face was gloomy and frightening.

Yan Qi's sinister and chilling aura spread like a poisonous vine throughout the room, making Kang Liang, who was standing outside the living room, shudder with fear.

From the moment Kang Liang first went to borrow something, Yan Qi stood by the second-floor window, quietly watching the entrance of the old house across the street through the gap in the curtains.

But he didn't see Liang Yu even once from beginning to end.

He didn't know how Liang Yu was doing now.

All he wanted to do now was catch a glimpse of Liang Yu from afar.

Yan Qi knew he had messed things up.

Even though he had already grasped it firmly, so tightly, it was still to no avail.

Kang Liang cautiously walked to Yan Qi's side and whispered:

"Young Master Qi, I didn't see Miss Liang today, but I heard her voice on the doorbell."

"Miss Liang's voice seems to be in good condition, and Miss Liang has already had dinner with Miss Lin."

"After I borrowed the things, I also told Miss Lin that I would invite the two of them to dine together next time, and Miss Lin agreed."

Yan Qi gave a very soft "hmm," his gaze still fixed on the window of the old house across the street through the gap in the living room curtains.

However, Liang Yu was no longer there.

Yan Qi withdrew his gaze, gently rubbed his temples with his index finger, his voice low and hoarse, carrying an undisguised sense of defeat:

"Let's leave it at that for now, and talk about it again when she's willing to go out."

None of this is Liang Yu's fault; he deserves it.

He shouldn't have lied to Liang Yu.

The only thing he can do now is respect Liang Yu's decision, give her enough time and space, and not pressure or bother her.

Even if Liang Yu really intended to never contact him again, he could only accept it silently.

Kang Liang nodded and said in a low voice:

"Yes, Young Master Qi."

As dusk deepened, the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, leaving only the vast darkness that enveloped the entire Pear Tree Village.

The stars slowly climbed into the night sky, twinkling with a faint light.

Liang Yu and Lin Xiao had already taken a shower and crawled into bed together.

Lin Xiao asked Liang Yu while playing on her phone:

"Xiao Yu, isn't tomorrow the day you and Fang Ze are going to get your divorce certificate? Do you need me to go with you tomorrow?"

Liang Yu thought for a moment, then replied with a smile:

"If we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our divorce certificate tomorrow, I still hope you can come with me."

As Liang Yu spoke, he casually took out his phone and continued:

"I'll send Fang Ze a message and ask if he has time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

Liang Yu immediately sent a message to Fang Ze.

[Fang Ze, we made a promise. Today I'll help you, I'll vote for you, and tomorrow you'll be there to get the divorce certificate with me. We'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 AM tomorrow, okay?]

Ten minutes later, Fang Ze replied.

Tomorrow I will invite the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau to our villa in Redwood Bay to process our divorce. Please come to the villa in Redwood Bay.

Liang Yu showed Lin Xiao the message Fang Ze had sent, and then said to Lin Xiao:

"Xiaoxiao, then come with me to Redwood Forest Bay. I'm afraid that once I get to the villa there, Fang Ze won't let me leave again."

Lin Xiao immediately agreed:

"No problem, I'm off tomorrow anyway, I'll go with you through thick and thin."

Liang Yu smiled and nuzzled Lin Xiao's shoulder, replying:

"Xiaoxiao, you're so kind."

However, Liang Yu did not immediately agree to Fang Ze's request, but instead confirmed one more thing with Fang Ze.

[Fang Ze, you're not lying to me, are you? What if, after I enter the villa in Redwood Bay, you have the bodyguards guard it and prevent me from leaving?]

Five minutes later, Fang Ze replied with a message.

[Xiao Yu, this time it won't be like before. I know what you did before was excessive, but I respect your decision. You can have Lin Xiao come with you.]

Liang Yu then replied with relief.

Okay, I'll go with Lin Xiao. Please keep your word. What time tomorrow?

Three minutes later, Fang Ze replied.

[Can you make it to 10 AM tomorrow?]

Liang Yu looked at Lin Xiao beside him with a questioning gaze, and Lin Xiao immediately replied:

"Okay, I can get there by 10 o'clock, but that means I'll have to sacrifice my holiday time sleeping in..."

Liang Yu immediately hugged Lin Xiao and said in a coquettish tone:

"It's so funny, I love you to death. After we get the divorce certificate this morning, I'll go shopping with you this afternoon and buy you lots of pretty clothes."

Lin Xiao immediately straightened up, his eyes filled with stars, and asked:

"Really? You're going to buy me lots of pretty clothes? Don't lie to me!"

Liang Yu nodded heavily and smiled:

"Buy whatever you like, I can afford it."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said generously:

"Tell Fang Ze that even if it's eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll still be there on time."

Liang Yu laughed heartily and replied:

"You can, but I don't want to get up that early."

He then sent a message to Fang Ze.

【Sure, see you at the villa in Redwood Bay tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM.】
