tly cool, and her body felt uncomfortable pressed against his. She was about to go take a bath, but Huo Shaoting lightly pressed down on her: "Stay with me for a while longer!"Wen Man didn't move anym...Jiang Lan listened, took back her phone, scrolled through it, then deleted the chat history.

Huo Jiao could tell that he was very protective of the girl.

She whispered, "This is your choice! I wouldn't stoop to that! Jiang Lan, you're overthinking things!"

Jiang Lan listened and casually tossed his phone aside. Then, he pulled off his bathrobe and began getting dressed... looking like he was about to leave!

Yes, they've ripped the mask off and there's no point in pretending anymore!

He dressed without avoiding her gaze. After all, they had shared a bed for two years and were familiar with each other to the point where there was no need for pretense... Of course, the boredom he felt outside their relationship led him to find someone new, too lazy to hide it or explain himself to her.

Huo Jiao continued to paint her nails.

When the nail polish had dried, she said softly, "You don't need to leave! I'll sleep in the guest room! I'll move out tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan frowned: “We’ve been together for so long, I wouldn't be stingy enough to not give you an apartment! You can continue living here!”

Huo Jiao leaned against the sofa and lazily said: "I will always meet new boyfriends in the future, I'm not used to bringing ex-boyfriends home to sleep! If you don't accommodate me, then I'll accommodate myself!"

After that, she went to the guest room.

When she closed the door, she leaned her back against the doorframe and took a deep breath, looking up.

How could there be no feeling

Even if they said it was just for fun, to be together when things were good and apart when they weren't... But after all that time spent together, women are emotional creatures, especially since she liked him so much!

It's always uncomfortable when the man you like has a new girlfriend!

But Huo Jiao couldn't beg him, besides, that woman was from a much lower class than her. She wouldn't stoop to fighting another woman for a man... There were plenty of men in the world. Let her have him!

……

Outside, Jiang Lan heard Ji Zhang put on and then take off the shirt again. He walked into the master bedroom and put on a bathrobe.

When he lay on the big bed, the soft pillow was filled with the sweet scent of Huo Jiao's hair.

She likes the lemon flavor.

He smelled it and thought it was pleasant.

Jiang Lan thought about her relationship with Huo Jiao. Actually, they got along very well. After all, their family backgrounds were similar and their views on life were also very compatible... The only bad thing was that they slept too much and had no desire to get married at all.

But Song Qingqing was different.

She is very interesting, she can tell jokes, and she has dimples when she smiles, which makes her look adorable and bright... Several times Jiang Lan got drunk at the club, it was Song Qingqing who took care of her.

Once she leaned in close, so close that he could smell her scent.

It's a familiar taste.

Her little face was cute and charming. He was momentarily captivated and, as if possessed, leaned in and kissed her... She seemed startled, called out "Mr. Jiang," and then ran away.

Jiang Lan thought she was pure and adorable.

Of course, he had a girlfriend named Huo Jiao who was a stunner. There's no way he would suddenly get involved with someone from the club! No one mentioned what happened that night, but they started seeing each other more often.

unintentional, with a hint of something suggestive.

Well aware!

Song Qingqing knew about Huo Jiao's existence, but she never urged him to break up. She didn't ask him to be with her either. She still told him jokes as before and put his clothes on him when he was drunk... taking care of him in every little way.

After a long time, Jiang Lan began to consider the idea of getting married.

It wasn't Huo Jiao, but Song Qingqing.

But he wasn't so eager either, and things just dragged on like that until tonight when Huo Jiao discovered it... She looked very calm, he thought, she must be tired of it too! She couldn't wait to move out and find a new love!

Jiang Lan listened and closed his eyes, falling asleep easily.

When I woke up, it was already 7 a.m., and there was some movement in the living room outside.

He rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the door, and saw Huo Jiao eating breakfast.

It's a very good sandwich, and the coffee is also freshly ground!

He said very naturally, "Get me one too! I'll go wash up first!"

< Huo Jiao held up her cup and took a sip, her tone very light: "We broke up! I have no obligation to make breakfast for you, sorry, Young Master Jiang!" >

Jiang Lan frowned: "Huo Jiao, you weren't so willful before."

Huo Jiao flipped through the newspaper: "You never cheated before! How come, you cheat and not only sleep with me but also want me to wait on you There's no such good thing in this world!"

Jiang Lan nodded: "Okay! I'll eat outside!"

He went back to his bedroom and washed up quickly, then changed into another set of clothes. He stepped out feeling fresh and clean... As he reached the door, he said somewhat rudely, "When you left, put the key under the doormat."

Huo Jiao looked up at him.

Her eyes were like the depths of a moonless night, betraying no emotion. After a long silence, she spoke in a soft voice, "I understand!"

Jiang Lan softened her tone: "I'm sorry! I was wrong. Huo Jiao, you can stay here as long as you want!"

Huo Jiao looked at the newspaper again, coincidentally landing on his scandal.

She stared for a long time, then whispered: "I'm leaving now. The key will be under the mat... If I don't leave, I'll be the third person!"

Jiang Lan listened to her words and heard a hint of negativity.

He felt sorry, but he had always been a straightforward person. Since things had come to this, there was no point in trying to appease her anymore. He simply nodded and left.

After he left, Huo Jiao slowly finished her breakfast.

She slowly packed her luggage again.

She only took the important documents. The other things, like the couple's costumes she'd heard about from Jiang Lan, and some things he had given her, she put in a cardboard box and threw it in the trash can downstairs.

She trashed the apartment and didn't bother cleaning up.

But she left, clean and without a trace!

She moved back to her apartment in the city center, which was about 200 square meters and very comfortable... Back in her own place, she first slept for four hours to catch up on sleep because she had cried for half the night last night.

……

Jiang Lan listened and sat into the car. It was a McLaren.

He called Song Qingqing and said he wanted to have breakfast with her, asking if she had a favorite restaurant. He would pick her up.

Women are always sensitive. In the past, he had never looked for her in the morning.

She knew then that he had broken up with his girlfriend.

Maybe they have broken up!

When he called her, he told her that he had broken up with his ex and was single now. He asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend, a serious one leading to marriage.

Song Qingqing is pretty and from a small city. She has an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Lan, so she naturally secretly looked at Huo Jiao. Huo Jiao is a top beauty with long legs that are 174 centimeters tall.

She couldn't actually believe that Jiang Lan would give up a beautiful woman to choose her.

But now, he asked her so sincerely to be his girlfriend.

She blushed and beamed: "Mr. Jiang, what about Miss Huo"

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

Let's just break up, what can we do about it

Song Qingqing asked cautiously, "Have you two settled things Is there any compensation"

Jiang Lan understood. She was afraid he hadn't completely broken up with Huo Jiao. He remembered what Huo Jiao had said and replied somewhat angrily, "She's the one who's more eager to break up!"

Song Qingqing felt relieved.

She took Jiang Lan to a Chinese breakfast shop and treated him to soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Jiang Lan frowned as soon as she sat down.

Used tissues were scattered everywhere, and there were stains on the edge of the soy milk bowl that didn't look clean... He also prefers Western breakfast and doesn't like to eat this.

But for their first official date, he still endured it.

Song Qingqing didn't notice anything amiss with him. She introduced him to the history of the store, and when she got to the exciting parts, she looked at Jiang Lan and said, "When I have the resources, I also want to open a breakfast shop like this! Then you can come over every day for soy milk!"

Jiang Lan listened with a reluctant smile...’s been so long, I finally have time to come and see the child.”He gave Xiao Huo Jiao a big red envelope.Wen Man, beside him, couldn't help but call out "Uncle," and Lu Qian's eyes turned red.He was s...
