Some things, Meng Jingwei could sense even without them being said.
Xiao Cheng shook his head with a helpless smile. "You're quite sharp-eyed." He sighed, his brow furrowed slightly. "Never mind me, tell me about yourself. And... how is Qing Muyun doing?"
It was very difficult for people to let go of hatred, but Xiao Cheng, due to his affection for Meng Jingwei, had gradually let go of his hatred for Qing Muyun.
Only by loving someone could one understand the madness of being willing to give up everything for her.
Meng Jingwei's delicate brows knitted, as if unsure where to begin.
The two went to the cafe on the third floor and sat in a corner booth, a window seat. They each ordered coffee and dessert.
"You should know about Ah Ye's situation. As for me, I'm still the same." Meng Jingwei turned her head to look out the window. On the street with its European architectural style, plane trees were planted on both sides.
The biting cold wind blew off the last few leaves clinging to the branches, leaving only bare limbs, appearing somewhat bleak.
"I'm sorry."
Xiao Cheng's expression darkened slightly. He felt powerless regarding Qing Muyun's situation. "I wish I could help you, but my abilities are limited."
Another reason he had let go of his hatred for Qing Muyun was that his repeated attempts to get close to Meng Jingwei had brought disaster upon her and her husband.
Xiao Cheng felt guilt, and over time, this had diluted his hatred for Qing Muyun.
Perhaps, Xiao Cheng believed, the accumulation of various incidents had already offset everything Qing Muyun had done to him.
"It has nothing to do with you," Meng Jingwei shook her head.
She couldn't blame Xiao Cheng; he had married Antina because of her in the first place.
Becoming a live-in son-in-law was something few men could accept, especially a man with such strong self-esteem as Xiao Cheng.
"Antina is already pregnant, why are you suddenly proposing divorce to her?" Meng Jingwei sounded perplexed.
"Your coffees are ready."
At this moment, the server walked over and placed the prepared coffee and dessert in front of them before turning to leave.
Xiao Cheng lowered his gaze to the coffee, picked it up, blew on the fragrant coffee, and took a sip. A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "Don't you know well enough?"
The sudden question left Meng Jingwei feeling lost. She frowned slightly in confusion, and after careful thought, she seemed to grasp something.
"There was no affection between us to begin with, so I'm not surprised she would do this," Xiao Cheng said with emotion.
Hearing him say this, Meng Jingwei confirmed her thoughts.
He was referring to Antina's infidelity during their marriage.
But...
How did he know she knew about it?
"I... I also found out by accident," Meng Jingwei said, looking down at the coffee emitting wisps of steam.
"Since you know, why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Cheng suddenly questioned.
Meng Jingwei froze for a moment, then looked up in astonishment. "I..." She didn't know what to say.
The man sitting opposite her smiled openly. "Just teasing you, why are you so nervous?" He leaned back in the booth, his hands clasped together over his abdomen. "I'm sorry about you and Qing Muyun, I can't help you with that."
"You've already helped me a lot," Meng Jingwei expressed her sincere gratitude. "Have you and Antina really decided to divorce? What will happen next? Her father likely won't let you leave easily."
"With Antina's various misdeeds, Fraik won't say anything." Xiao Cheng's gaze fell upon Meng Jingwei. "This time, I plan to leave."
"Leave?" Meng Jingwei couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Where to?"
"Wherever the ends of the earth may be, there will be a place for me to stay." Xiao Cheng's expression was calm. "I came to say goodbye. I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again."
If his previous farewell had made Meng Jingwei feel relieved, this time, her heart felt heavy.
