Cheng Huaixing chuckled and nodded. “We didn’t fall out. Although we broke up, we contacted each other occasionally. Actually, it’s not as bad as you think.”

  After a pause, he added, “In other words, it was an amicable parting. Well, at least when we broke up, it was peaceful.”

  Bo Chengcheng was even angrier now. “She only dared to treat you like this because you have a good temper. Do you know what this looks like?”

  “What?” Cheng Huaxing asked.

  “I’ll send you a picture and you’ll understand.” Bo Chengcheng picked up her phone and searched for a long time before sending a picture to Cheng Huaxing.

  Cheng Huaxing’s phone was on silent mode. He picked it up and clicked on the picture, then started laughing.

  It was a classic emoticon of a crying person standing alone with a handkerchief in his hand and wearing a green hat. There was a caption next to it: If he treats you badly, remember to come back to me.

  There were three words written on the figure: Honest man.

  Bo Chengcheng placed her phone on the table angrily and said, “See for yourself if this is you?”

  \r \r \r

  Cheng Huaxing laughed and said, “No, she won’t come back. Even if she does, I won’t accept her. After all, a person who had betrayed you once might betray you a second or third time one day.”

  “Feeling this way once is enough to put one in despair. Who would be able to put up with it more than once?”

  Although Cheng Huaxing said this with a smile, Bo Chengcheng couldn’t help feeling the heartache.

  There was a complicated expression on her face as she downed the glass of remaining water.

  There was a long silence before Cheng Huaxing suddenly said, “But why is there no news of your marriage with Brother Jiang?”

  Jiang Yeqing was older than all of them. From the moment they met, Cheng Huaxing had called him “Brother”. This was reasonable.

  “Secret marriage? Have you never heard of it?” Bo Chengcheng did not seem to mind. “We couldn’t even be bothered to hold a banquet. We just got our marriage certificate and told Grandma. That was it.”

  “Huh?” Cheng Huaxing probably did not expect this. “There was no ceremony or anything?”

  “Does the marriage certificate count?”

  “It doesn’t count,” Cheng Huaxing said seriously. “The marriage certificate is just a certificate. The ceremony that I mentioned refers to a wedding event. It’s an occasion for everyone to witness your marriage. Didn’t you even have one?”

  Bo Chengcheng smiled. “No.”

  “You got married just like that?”

  “Yes.”

  “What about the betrothal gift?”

  “There was money. I bought a suite for Grandma and a villa for me. Oh, and the shares in his company.” Bo Chengcheng smiled faintly. “The amount of money is considerable. It’s enough to buy me.”

  Buy?

  When Cheng Huaxing heard this, he suddenly felt a burning anger rising within himself. He asked again, “Did you not want the wedding banquet, or did he not want to give you one?”

  “It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give me one. We’re just taking it slow.”

  “Taking it slow? Whatever for?” Cheng Huaxing didn’t seem to understand. “You’re the one getting married, and you’re the one getting married to him. Since the wedding banquet could be delayed, why couldn’t the marriage certificate be delayed?”

  “I guess I’m just after his money?” Bo Chengcheng said teasingly.

  Cheng Huaxing was really angry now. He deepened his voice and addressed her by her full name, “Bo Chengcheng!”

  “Uh huh?”

  “I saw him with another woman in Kang City. He was even holding a child and chatting happily. Did you know about this?”

  Bo Chengcheng’s smile stiffened.

  “I know that woman. She was Xiao Yun’s university classmate. She was a kept woman before she finished her university studies.” Cheng Huaxing’s expression was tense. “At that time, Jiang Yeqing’s financial situation was alright, wasn’t it?”
