Chen Li's recent Weibo post sparked fan arguments, while Xia Ting found herself caught in the crossfire. Later, Chen Li met with Ling Xiaoxiao to discuss their relationship, but instead of reconciliation, he abruptly decided to break up with her, stating he no longer liked her and their relationship was an impulsive mistake.

How can he hurt someone like that, how can he say such things!

A single moment of impulse, is this how he resolves their feelings?

She really likes him, she wants to be with him.

How can he say such things!!

"I’m sorry for hurting you, apologies."

"Don’t joke around! Take back what you said just now, I can pretend I didn’t hear it!" Ling Xiaoxiao blinked, forcing a smile as she spoke.

"I’m serious, when I got together with you it was just a moment of impulse."

"Did you fall for someone else?!" Ling Xiaoxiao angrily questioned him, she didn’t believe the excuse of a moment’s impulse.

The only reason could be that he fell in love with someone else, that’s why he broke up with her!

"No." Chen Li said lightly, now he couldn’t let anyone know about him and Tingting.

He’s not afraid of being scolded, but he doesn’t want her to suffer from being scolded too.

All of this was his own doing, and he’d bear it himself!

"I don’t believe you! If you haven’t fallen for someone else, why break up with me! You clearly liked me!"

"I never liked you."

"..." Ling Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in shock, what is he saying?!

He said he never liked her?

How is that possible!!

After Chen Li apologized to Ling Xiaoxiao, he didn’t linger and immediately left the hotel.

He doesn’t want any rumors spreading, making Tingting overthink.

Though she trusts him, he cannot do things that lead to misunderstandings, nor give reporters chances to speculate wildly.

Ling Xiaoxiao cried in the room; she wanted to chase after him but dared not.

She cannot let others know she and Chen Li have broken up.

They’ve only dated for less than a month, breaking up now would be a joke to others!

Absolutely not!

She won’t easily agree to break up with him; he must have another woman!

She must find out who this woman is, and... make her pay dearly!

――

Chen Li returned home, Xia Ting was cleaning the house with a cloth.

It’s been a long time since he came home; dust had gathered on the furniture!

He changed his shoes and took off his hat, walking towards her: "Just hire cleaning staff to do it, why do it yourself."

Now that he has money, he doesn’t want her doing these tiring tasks anymore.

All she needs now is to be happy every day, not overwork!

"It’s almost done, hiring someone to clean is expensive and not safe." Xia Ting explained, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness.

He’s a big celebrity, there are too many things at home he doesn’t want others to know.

Sometimes people indiscriminately expose things, not understanding that it’s his privacy!

The cleaning staff they hired before came home asking for autographs and photos, secretly took pictures of the house, and also exposed the location of the community they live in!

This led to congestion at the community entrance, as large crowds of fans gathered there, affecting the normal lives of the residents.

Ultimately, having no choice, he could only choose to move to avoid the fans!

The community they live in now has a good environment, most importantly, it has excellent security.

After that incident, she also dared not casually hire someone to clean anymore.

She’d rather tire herself out cleaning than hire someone and then have unnecessary problems arise, she’d be the one to suffer in the end!

"I’ll help you clean." Chen Li curved his lips, not disturbing their alone time was even better!

They can enjoy their exclusive two-person world, how wonderful~

"You should rest, it’s a rare day off!"

"I’m not that weak."

"Then you mop the floor." Xia Ting laughed, starting to command him to work.

It had been a long time since they worked together, now cleaning the house together felt like going back to the past.
