When he said this, he remembered something and laughed to himself . In the past, had she not been a tigress? After Xiao Tiantian had finished its food, Huo Beichen headed upstairs for his shower and then sat at his study desk .

Su Ye had pulled Qi Shan and Fei Bai back into the group chat . Qi Shan posted a question: [Boss, how did the date go?]
Huo Beichen took some time to reply: [Why would a woman’s mood suddenly drop?]
Qi Shan: [Women are mysterious creatures . They exhibit thirty-one days of peculiarity in a month . ]
Fei Bai: [I don’t understand . ]
Love expert Ye answered: [There are three phases for a woman in a month . Before her eldest aunt comes, when her eldest aunt comes, and after her eldest aunt comes to visit . If you cannot figure out the reason for her mood swings, you can consider the eldest aunt as the cause . ]
The naïve Bai replied: [As far as I know, the missus has no aunts . ]

Qi Shan: [?? Hahahaha, Fei Bai, you make me laugh! Even I know about this, how can you not know? Serves you right for being single and still yet to have a girlfriend!]
Huo Beichen started to delete the sentence that he had just typed: [Who is her eldest aunt?]
Then, he felt frustrated when he saw that Qi Shan had written “Serves you right for being single and still yet to have a girlfriend” .
So, he would rather…
System: [Qi Shan has been kicked from the group . ]
Qi Shan was clueless as to how he had offended boss this time!

Huo Beichen flung his phone onto the table, his heart restless . As he massaged his temples, his eyes fell back onto the words “Serves you right for being single and still yet to have a girlfriend” .
Read more chapter on vipnovel . comIndeed, he had not been treating her well in the past . That would explain…
As he was gathering his thoughts, a new text appeared in the group chat .
Su Ye: [Boss, perhaps this is the reason?]
He then sent over a screenshot . Huo Beichen zoomed in on the image and saw Ning Meng’s post on her Moments: One does not mean the one and only and for this one lifetime .
He started to recollect himself as he remembered her expression when she had said this earlier today . A moment of realization dawned on Huo Beichen . So, this was the reason! He never knew that there was such a thing as Moments in WeChat . Under Su Ye’s guidance, he went into Ning Meng’s Moments for the first time and posted three comments . However, she had yet to respond .

Could it be that she was still angry and did not want to hear his explanation? While waiting for her response, most of her posts were about food . He subconsciously went through her posts the same way he would read through his documents and gave each post a ‘like’ to indicate that he had read through them .
He then came to her first post in Moments from two months ago: [I’m a new person now . I will return to my family . ]
All other posts from before had been deleted .
Huo Beichen stared at the date for a long time and then realized that that was the day she had come to stay with him…
It was getting late . , and he held up his phone in the quiet study room . The corners of his eyes were bloodshot . After a while, he decided to exit Moments and went back to the chat interface only to see that she had sent a text over: [?]
Was she waiting for his explanation? She had always been like this . Soft and easy to coax . Huo Beichen closed his eyes halfway and recalled the happenings of the day . He really wanted to tell her that the only water he had ever accepted in high school was from her . What he wanted to tell her even more was that he had waited for her for so long…
Alas, it was clear that she did not remember these moments . She did not remember the sweet moments and the bitter ones . Perhaps this was for the best .
Huo Beichen mulled over and over on this matter while he was facing the chat interface . Finally, he summarized all his thoughts into one sentence: [For me, you have always been the most important one . ]
‘It’s you; it will always be you . ’
His “one” indeed had meant the one and only and for this one lifetime .
