Perhaps subconsciously, I wanted to wait for Adrian to get married before going back to face him, so I kept postponing the date of my return with all kinds of excuses.

But I didn't expect that no one had urged me to go back.

My partner said, "It doesn't matter. Enjoy your vacation with pay. At worst, I'll only have porridge for two more years."

My parents said, "I really enjoyed myself when you were not at home. Anyway, you are spending your own money. Enjoy your time for as long as you can. Just don't forget to bring me a gift."

Ethan said, "The photos you took during your trip are so beautiful. People like you are born to be travelers."

At first, I didn't find there was anything wrong with it. But gradually, I found that every time I chatted with them, it was me who was looking for an excuse not to go back and it was them who were finding an excuse to stop me from going back.

Did something happen?

I asked many people what had happened, but I got no answer. In the end, I

    Author: Ni HaiWhen I participated in a variety show, my partner was a popular male star.In the session of the secret room, I pretended to be afraid and hid in his arms for protection.He snorted coldly and pushed me away, "Stop pretending. I know you like watching horror films very much."I continued to throw myself into his arms, "We’re so familiar. Don't pretend to be abstinent. Hold me. This is my newly established image.""Ex-girlfriend," he suddenly stopped resisting and held my waist tightly, "Are you flirting with me?"1Nobody knew that Jake and I had dated except our agents.No one would have thought that it was an unknown girl like me who had asked for a breakup.At that time, he had just finished shooting a literary film, and it won him many awards. I watched him on TV at home and felt the huge gap tween us.I had endured the complex emotions of jealousy and fear until he was finally free. But he was depressed.

    4I didn't know how long I scolded Jake before I finally fell asleep.In the dream, I went back to the day when I first lived together with Jake. He was clumsy, but extremely careful in every move for fear of hurting me.Obviously, his handsome face flushed, but he was still trying to be brave, telling me that he knew it and he could do it.He was determined not to give up.The progress was slow. When it was finally about to happen, he suddenly stopped and looked me up and down, "Sophie, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like crying."I, who had been crying, froze.I didn’t know what to say anymore.I wanted to know why he wanted to cry. Was the reason the same as mine?As soon as the sun came out, I woke up and returned to reality from the dream, feeling very confused and depressed.I got up, tidy up briefly, and went out for a morning run.As soon as I finished stretching at the intersection, I heard a familiar voice from behind."Morning," Jake ran to me from the ear

    6The sprained ankle was faked last time, but this time Jake broke his leg.Somehow the news leaked out, and it quickly became a trending topic.The video of Jake falling from a tree also made it to the trending topic.The comment area was full of curses, and various conspiracy theories emerged endlessly.People decided that it was me who had caused Jake to fall, and treated him mercilessly.All kinds of edited clips successfully portrayed me as a vicious, indifferent, and ruthless girl.After my agent finished watching it, she was speechless for a long time."Well, a girl will become unlucky if she gets close to a man, especially an ex-boyfriend."I sighed wearily and was just about to speak when my eyes were glued to the phone.A minute ago, Jake's official account posted a tweet, "I fell on purpose. It's a trick for chasing girls. Don’t make trouble please."I was so excited that my hand trembled and I clicked a like accidentally. I quickly canceled it and threw the phone

    8"During this period of time, I have reflected a lot. I ignored your feelings. I just wanted to rush forward, but left you behind. I will change."Jake refused to let me go. When I turned my head, he stood there with a cane, making sure to meet my eyes and look at my face."It's always right to work hard. I couldn't keep up with you. What would you change? Jake, we don't fit together. I don't want to live in your light forever. I don’t want to worry that you will be stolen by someone better or you will get tired of me."You can meet such beautiful and interesting girls every day, but I can only watch your wonderful life from a distance. I am fed up with this kind of life, do you understand? When you see me suspicious every day, won't you feel annoyed? I am annoyed by myself."I spoke my mind once I started talking.He quietly listened to me and his eyes softened, "It's really difficult for me to give you a sense of security in this circle. I've considered working behind the scen

    Author: Ni HaiI never expected to meet him again. The last time I saw him, he was a clumsy barista who messed up my order nine times in a row. I felt sorry for him, so I tried to crack a joke. "Hey, are you an undercover cop?"He looked startled and denied it quickly. But as soon as I left the cafe, he locked the door and disappeared.Later on, we ran into each other again. He stopped me and said, "You're under arrest, because you have stolen my heart, darling."1Before the blind date, I only knew that he was a policeman, and that he was tall and handsome.My mom, Rachel, had warned me that she would disown me from the Rae family if we didn't get along. She was well aware of my weakness for men in military uniform, and she had gone to great lengths to find one for me.Needless to say, I was nervous as hell.When I caught sight of him, I was shocked. Wasn't he the adorable guy who had messed up the coffee order?How did he go from being a hopeless barista to a hot cop?I d

    4Darrian walked out without a word, leaving me on the floor.I was stunned by my own actions.The last two words on my screen were "I do".I did ruin my love life for good.I curled up in a ball and waited for a long time before I gathered the courage to peek at Darrian through the door.He searched the area for any signs of trouble. I watched him from a distance, hoping he would notice me."Darrian, are you ignoring me?" I asked in a weak voice.He paused for a second, then turned his head to face me. "I need some time to think."I felt a flicker of hope, and he added, "Calm down and have fun.""Sure," I said. Well, at least he was still talking to me. That was something.I went back to my room and tried to find some nice pajamas that could impress Darrian, but I ended up falling asleep on my stomach.When I opened my eyes, it was already seven in the morning.Darrian was still leaning on the door, not moving a muscle.Poor guy. He must have had a hard night.I felt so

    7The party was at a restaurant that we used to go to when we were students. It was very lively.My friends must have gotten there early to put on their best act of judging my potential husband.Darrian bought some flowers on the way and handed them to my friends. He pretended to be cool, but a slight blush on his ears betrayed his nervousness.I sat next to him and whispered. "What are you nervous about? You've already met my mom."He whispered back. "I'm not nervous. I just feel like I'm betraying my bachelor buddies by skipping dinner with them and having dinner with so many girls."I rolled my eyes, seeing through his fake bravado. "Darrian, you're the only one here with a stiff smile."Darrian had to avoid alcohol after work in case of an emergency. He told everyone why and they were cool with it.

    10On his day off, he came to meet my mom with me.When my mom learned that he was a cop, not a soldier like she had assumed, she pulled me aside softly. "Being a cop is a dangerous job. You shouldn't have to live in fear and worry."I cut her off. "Mom. I appreciate your love and concern for me. But I need you to give him a chance to show you who he really is and why I love him."My mom knew that I always made my own choices since I was little and didn't argue much, but when she talked to Darrian, she often looked sad and worried.Darrian and I left my mom's house after dinner.

    12When we got back to the hotel, after a brief contretemps, I lay on top of Jarred. "Didn't you say that we were even?"He pulled the blanket over his face, his chest rising and falling as he laughed, seemingly embarrassed to face this question.I rolled my eyes and laughed. I didn't understand what he meant by "being even" before, but now I realized that this little guy was trying to distance himself from me.But now we had broken our agreement again, so who would pay the breach of contract fee?We had taken our clothes off together tonight."It seems like you're enjoying the show tonight." Seeing him laughing all the time, I sighed.He showed his face and blinked his eyes. "I was really angry at first.""Oh," I said expressionlessly.He laughed again, "Hehe, luckily I didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have known that boss lady cares about me so much."???Where did he find out?I coughed and said, "Work hard and cultivate diligently, there is still plenty of time."……

    10Today at work, Oliver wasn't in the company, so I felt much more relaxed and efficient.Men only slowed down my work.After venting my anger on a workplace crybaby, Ms. Dixon teasingly approached me, "Why do you exude the aura of a fierce and formidable martial arts master?"I replied while sorting out the documents, "She asks for help here and there, why doesn't she split her salary with me?"Ms. Dixon chuckled and said, "Alright, how about we have some fun and blow off some steam tonight?"I ran my fingers through my hair and felt a bit annoyed, "Sorry, I can't."Ms. Dixon understood my expression and asked mysteriously, "Is it because of Mr. Hudson? Someone saw you two together at a bar last time."I didn't say anything.She leaned closer and asked, "There are rumors about you two in the company. Tell me, is it true?"My heart sank and my face darkened.Ms. Dixon noticed the change in the atmosphere and left with a few embarrassed laughs.Jarred didn't contact me all

    8We randomly picked a street vendor and sat on a small bench by the road, enjoying the evening breeze and occasionally taking sips of beer without saying a word.Jarred pursed his lips and seemed lost in thought but didn't say anything.The atmosphere was relaxed and not awkward.I quite liked this way of getting along, where we could speak when we wanted to speak and be silent when we wanted to be silent.We didn't have to worry about anything.'Why don't you drink?' I bumped his shoulder and handed him my half-finished beer.He smiled sweetly with his eyes narrowed, "Boss lady is difficult to handle when she's drunk, so I won't drink. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it later."……I pinched his cheek, "Do you really like me, or is it just because I'm a woman?"It was the same as the question Oliver asked me today, "Do you really like him, or is it just because he's a man?"I wanted to hear how he would answer.He lowered his eyelids, and his hot breath sprayed on my

    5I still couldn't calm down when I returned to the hotel after a long time.I rummaged through my phone, feeling more and more annoyed and a little empty... I really wanted to call Jarred and scold him.I had been away for so long, and he didn't even bother to call me once!This was too much!Was he seeing someone else?Didn't he say that he liked his boss lady the most?Did these words only work in bed?After a long struggle in my mind, I tried to find Jarred's phone number in my contact list when a strange number called me.I answered it, and heard a familiar voice on the other end. "Boss lady, it's me."My heart skipped a beat, and I got a little nervous. "What's wrong?"There was silence for a while, and I urged him, "Just talk!"He coughed a couple of times and said carefully, "Boss lady, I'm at the high-speed railway station now. Can you come to pick me up? I've lost my phone, wallet, and luggage."Jarred had silently taken the high-speed train to the city I was on

    Author: Ni Hai"Is my boss lady avoiding me?" He approached step by step, his slender fingers hooked into his tie knot and lightly tugged left and right, his movements elegant and sexy.My heart was pounding uncontrollably."Jarred, if you have something to say, don't..."My voice was hoarse and completely lacking in confidence, causing my face to instantly turn red."My boss lady," a triumphant light flashed in his eyes as he murmured softly, "We are legally married."Okay, the plan to run away from home failed.1Jarred was indeed my husband, but at first, we weren't really married.To be more specific, it all started from the first time I pounced on him.That day, I woke up from a hangover and found a man lying next to me.His facial features and physique possessed a tender charm...Before I could even recall the absurd past, the man frowned, unhurriedly waking up, and unconsciously hugged me, his lips touching my forehead, giving me a good morning kiss.The whole pro
