Life has been so hard that she has long lost the liveliness that she used to have, back in school . And she has been hurt too much in love, to ever regain her confidence in it .
Everytime she goes to bed, she would wonder if he had ever loved her before, even for a little .
She had used everything she had in liking him, but the result was… . .
Her heart feels a little pained as she asks him the question that has been bothering her for years .
She raises her head to look at him and is surprised by what she sees . Affection, desire and confusion linger in his eyes . He appears as though he had not listened to her question properly . He trains his eyes on her .
Si Zheng Ting’s head is a little clouded .

What did she ask? She asked him if he has ever loved her?
That question is so naïve and funny to his ears . He loves her, and deeply so, to the point where even he even fathom how deep that feeling is .
When he sees the tense look on her face, his face turns considerably gentler . Is she worried that his feeling has changed?
Si Zheng Ting sighs, “Zhuang Nai Nai, all these years, I have never……… . . ”
Before he even finishes speaking, Zhuang Nai Nai suddenly leans towards him and covers his lips with hers .
He stiffens . He looks at the fluttering lashes of the girl who has mustered her courage to ask him something, but couldn’t spare the said courage to listen to his answer . His heart is moved .

He deepens the kiss as something stirs in his heart .
He opens his lips .
Zhuang Nai Nai’s head is empty, his voice keeps repeating inside her head, ‘Zhuang Nai Nai, all these years, I have never… . . ’ Never what?
Never liked you? Never forget about you?
She suddenly does not wish to listen to his answer .
And so, without even thinking, she blocks his lips with her own .
In the end, she lets go of the question that she has been waiting to ask for years .

In her heart, she tells herself that what happened 5 years ago is history, there is no need to poke that wound in her heart .
Their kiss this time is an earth-shattering one .
They only part from each other when they are tired . A silvery string connects them in the lips, looking very ambiguous under this atmosphere .
Her cheeks are red . Seeing her like that, Si Zheng Ting cannot control himself anymore and lifts her up . He returns to their bedroom while carrying her, before gently placing her on their bed .
Then, he climbs on top of her .
Downstairs, Si Jing Yu finishes her meals before returning to her room .
Just as she enters her room, her phone vibrates from inside her bag . She takes the phone out .
The name flashing on the screen is ‘Husband . ’
Her heart tightens when she sees that name .
All the façade that she keeps when she is outside immediately crumbles .
Grief and desolateness fills her face as she looks at her phone .
She accepts the call and speaks in a voice so cold that she frightens even herself, “Have you signed the divorce paper?”
