“Did you finally confess?” Shen Ruojing asked this question while talking to Leng Ling.

Leng Ling replied no.

Shen Ruojing hesitated and asked, “Why not?”

Leng Ling replied, “Because I’m afraid that in the end, we won’t even be able to remain friends.”

Shen Ruojing was taken aback.

Leng Ling then hung up the phone.

What 518 didn’t know was that the girl Dugu Xiao liked was her. Dugu Xiao had a solitary personality, and once he decided on someone, he would never change. Leng Ling understood him. Over the past six years, his feelings for 518 hadn’t faded; they had only grown deeper, and that was the best proof. He would never like anyone else in his life, so he had decided not to marry.

Leng Ling smiled. She was the same. She would never like anyone else in her life, so she would protect him, just as he protected her.

With this in mind, Leng Ling turned around and saw Dugu Xiao coming towards him. The man had a smile on his face and asked, “Are you talking to 518 again?”

“Um,” Leng Ling said more than usual, “Chu Tianye pretended to be three years old, so they scolded him severely, and decided that he wouldn’t be allowed to touch those assets until he turns ten.”

“518 decided to stay home for a while and not travel for the time being, to spend more time with the children.”

“The king of Country A has been calling, wanting 518 to inherit the throne so he can retire. But 518 refused, saying she hasn’t rested enough yet. She definitely won’t give this opportunity to others…”

“Chu Cichen had a small quarrel with 518 because she was paying more attention to the children than to him. He got jealous, but 527 is quite clever; he did it on purpose to get 518’s attention…”

Leng Ling chattered on about Shen Ruojing’s affairs, and Dugu Xiao listened attentively. These were just some trivial matters, but Dugu Xiao knew about Chu Cichen’s concerns, and he also understood that he shouldn’t interfere too much in 518’s life. Therefore, he had reduced his contact with them recently. Now, hearing it from Leng Ling’s mouth, the life of 518 in the Dark Web Organization seemed vivid.

In the capital, after Shen Ruojing hung up with Leng Ling, she saw Chu Cichen frowning beside her. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Cichen handed his phone to Shen Ruojing and said, “It seems like Chu Qianshu has… had a breakup?”

Shen Ruojing glanced at the screen and noticed her cousin-in-law, who was usually immersed in scientific research, had posted something on her moments. She was lamenting, “Why do people care about family background when looking for a girlfriend these days? I give up on life!” Below were several question marks from her family members.

Chu Qianshu replied to them, “Just broke up with a boyfriend. He dumped me because 1 don’t have a wealthy family background, and my income from scientific research is low. He’s now dating a rich girl!”

Chu Cichen inquired, “How rich?”

Chu Qianshu replied, “Her family has tens of millions.”

Chu Cichen,

Chu Cichen, “So why are you crying about it? Tens of millions are probably just your pocket money for a month, right?”

Chu Qianshu immediately replied, “I’m crying about love, don’t you understand?”

Chu Cichen, “I don’t.”

Chu Qianshu ignored him.

Shen Ruojing,”…”

She couldn’t help but laugh, “I really want to know who the person that threw away a watermelon for a sesame seed is!”

She didn’t expect that her casual remark would soon become true. Chu Qianshu experienced a breakup, felt upset, and decided to go home to rest for a while. She asked Shen Ruojing to accompany her shopping.

Both of them were quite relaxed about their appearances. One didn’t care much about what to wear, while the other was always absorbed in scientific research, with hardly any clothes to choose from.

So they strolled casually through the mall.

Chu Qianshu was still holding a cup of milk tea, poking the straw as if she wanted to stab the straw through the lid as if she were venting on a scumbag.

Shen Ruojing found her funny.

Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Chu Qianshu?”

Shen Ruojing looked over and saw a couple buying clothes in a store. The man was staring at Chu Qianshu, frowning, “You’re in the capital too?”

Chu Qianshu, who was still poking her milk tea, was stunned, “You’re here too?”

The man immediately frowned, “What are you pretending for? Did you know I’m here, so you followed me? Let me tell you, we can’t be together no matter what, it’s best to part ways amicably. It’s really meaningless to be like this.” Chu Qianshu,”?”

Shen Ruojing,”?”

Only then did she realize that this man was the blind-eyed scumbag?

She looked him up and down. He had an ordinary appearance, wearing glasses, and seemed quite gentle. She didn’t expect him to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The girl next to him walked out imperiously and said to Chu Qianshu, “Hey, be a bit more dignified. What’s the point of being so clingy?”

Chu Qianshu was angered by their words and sneered, “I’m just going home. Some people need to stop thinking so highly of themselves!”

“Home?” The girl sneered, “Your home is in the capital? Which neighborhood? Let me see if I’ve heard of it.. Do you know how much a house in the capital costs per square meter? Can you afford it?”
