As soon as Lin Xi’er finished speaking, she looked at her excitedly.
Zhuang Nainai was still standing by the door. The entrance was dimly lit, and she lowered her head on purpose. Hence, Lin Xi’er did not notice her red and swollen eyes.
However, after she finished speaking, Zhuang Nainai was slightly taken aback once again.
Is Mr. Si going to fetch her home soon?
How she wished the divorce could bring an end to everything. Unfortunately, it couldn’t.
When she looked up, her face gave Lin Xi’er a shock. Looking at Zhuang Nainai, she asked anxiously, “Nainai, what happened? Did you meet Mr. Si tonight? Did you see your children? Nainai, what’s going on?”
What happened?
Zhuang Nainai was too tired to smile. Her face was numb. After glancing at Lin Xi’er, she said, “Xi’er, I broke up with Si Zhengting.”
After saying this, she walked straight to the master bedroom quietly. Upon entering the bedroom, she collapsed on the bed without washing her face and removing her shoes.
Suddenly, what he said just now surfaced in her mind. “I promise you that.”
He’d said that without any context. However, it suddenly dawned on her that he meant that he promised to break up with her.
This time… they had really broken up.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes welled up again. She flipped over hurriedly to suppress the pain.
—
The next morning.
Lin Xi’er noticed Zhuang Nainai had woken up early in the morning and had started packing her things. She widened her eyes in shock. “Nainai, what are you…?”
“I’m bidding farewell to my past.” Looking at Lin Xi’er, Zhuang Nainai walked out of the door while dragging a small suitcase.
Lin Xi’er was stunned. “Where are you going?”
“Somewhere I belong,” Zhuang Nainai answered again before lowering her head suddenly. She realized that the coat she was wearing seemed to have been bought by Si Zhengting as well. Thus, she took off the coat swiftly and tossed it on the couch. She opened the luggage and changed into a coat that belonged to her before walking out again.
She turned around to lock the door. She stared at the house.
Si Zhengting also bought this house with his money, so she would not stay here. Since they were going to have a clean breakup, she should do it more decisively and resolutely.
At the thought of this, she turned around with determination.
Lin Xi’er followed her throughout the journey. After they arrived at the destination, she finally realized which place Zhuang Nainai was talking about. It was the small house she used to live in.
Zhuang Nainai raised her head and looked at the small house. She used to live here with her mother. Life had been pleasant then. But now that her mother had passed away, she was left all alone.
No, wrong.
She still had two children.
At the thought of this, she suddenly recalled the two fragile newborns she had seen yesterday. Instantly, her heart melted into a puddle.
It seemed like she was suddenly filled with a will to fight. She raised her head, rolled up her sleeves, and cleaned up the house.
After the house had been cleaned up, she looked at the items in the house.
The house had changed, after all. He used to fill the house up with many items, like the heater, furniture, and small decorations, so that she could live more comfortably. These were things that could not be changed.
Dispirited, Zhuang Nainai sat on the couch in the cramped living room. She took in a deep breath.
Why was it so difficult to remove someone from her memory?
