His agitation did not escape Cheng Qingchong's eyes. However, it was construed as impatience in the woman's mind. Cheng Qingchong bit on her lips and tried to keep the smile on her face as she said, "Goodbye."

Then, without waiting for Qin Yinan's reaction, she closed the door, turned around, and rushed into the hotel lobby.

Goodbye, Qin Yinan. These few words needed at most six seconds to utter, but do you know? I used every ounce of energy within my body before I got was able to voice them.

…

Qin Yinan's car stopped at Four Seasons' entrance for a while before he left.

…

Not long after he left, Cheng Qingchong came out from the hotel. She turned into the attached convenient store to buy a box of morning-after pills. Unlike a certain main character, she did know how to protect herself.

Since there was already no possibility between them, she could not allow herself to be accidentally pregnant with his child. It would be unfair to him and to the child.

After swallowing the pills, Cheng Qingchong walked to the roadside to hail a cab. She gave the driver Qin Yinan's home address.

When she arrived, she hurriedly cleared away all the stuff that she had moved into his house to create the illusion for her mother. Then, she placed the car key by the entrance and left in a hurry, pulling her luggage.

She returned to her rental home, packing a few of her necessity, before rushing to the airport.

She checked in, passed the security check, got on the plane, and finally left.

Cheng Qingchong sat quietly in her seat. The scenery outside the small window was filled with clear blue sky and puffy clouds. Inside the window, the woman's eyes were puffy with tears.

…

Right at that moment, Qin Yinan was at the launch conference of his company's product. He was spirited and sharp, expertly doing all the advertisement and introduction. His phone was placed with his secretary. A message came in from Cheng Qingchong, but he was too busy to take notice of it.

After the conference was over, it was followed by a dinner.

When everything was settled and done, it was already 10 pm.

By then, Cheng Qingchong had already met up with Jin Ze's arranged driver and reached the house Jin Ze assigned to her.

…

Qin Yinan barely had the time to breathe throughout the day, that was how busy he was. When he reached home, it was almost midnight.

Other than a few windows that were still bright with light, most of the apartments of his building were dark.

Qin Yinan took the elevator to his floor and used the key to open his room.

The room was surprisingly dark, and Qin Yinan frowned at the sense of unfamiliarity. It was then that he realized since Mrs. Cheng had left, Cheng Qingchong had probably moved out of his house already.

As the thought came into his mind, Qin Yinan reached out to flip on the light. Without even taking off his shoes, he rushed into every room to take a look at everything. It was as he expected—every sign of the woman had been removed.

All had returned to its original state like he wanted.

Qin Yinan stood at the door to the main bedroom, blanking out for quite some time, before he returned to the front door. He bent down to slowly remove his shoes, and when he walked past the living room, he was suddenly reminded of the previous day. When he returned last night, at a time slightly earlier than now, she was sitting on the sofa, watching the television. He had had more than a little to drink, and she had squatted down to help him with his shoes.

Qin Yinan swallowed hardly as he increased his pace to rush into the main bedroom. He removed his clothes and stepped into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he exited and was about to use the hairdryer to blow dry his hair, his eyes unconsciously wandered toward the bed.
