She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 212 (Extra): Chen Zhiyue
"Chen Zhiyue, am I that kind of person in your heart?" He Mingxuan suddenly felt like a complete failure.

The man sneered, his eyes reddening.
"Chen Zhiyue, am I really that untrustworthy to you?"

"What do you think of our relationship, all the little things we've shared? At this moment, I realize that I'm a joke, a complete and utter joke."

"I was still foolishly thinking that you were just being stubborn, that you would come back once you figured things out, and that when you turned around, you would find that I was still the same me, still waiting for you in the same place."

"But what did I get in return? I got the news that you married someone else."

"Tell me, when you slept with him, did you ever think of me? Tell me, tell me!"

He Mingxuan's words and his questioning, mixed with the flood of memories, were like a knife, piercing Chen Zhiyue's heart and causing her immense pain.

It turns out that everything stemmed from a misunderstanding.

She genuinely believed that was what he cared about.

But now that the path has been chosen, what's done is done, and there's no going back.

She tried to hold back her sobs, but tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

"Be rational. People have to look forward. The past is the past. There's no point in dwelling on it."

"But I can't do it, Chen Zhiyue, I can't do it!"

He stared at her, his voice trembling.

"Chen Zhiyue, I don't care that you were married to him before, and I don't care about what happened between you two. Come back to me, okay?"

"Please, please?"

"You know I've never asked anyone for anything. How about I ask you instead?"

"He Mingxuan, stop pushing me..."

Faced with the man's humble pleas, the woman also burst into tears, but still resolutely shook her head.

“He Mingxuan, marriage is not a game. It’s not something I can just get married and divorced on a whim. We’re not children anymore; we’re adults and we should be responsible for our actions.”

He Mingxuan looked as if he had heard a joke.
"Chen Zhiyue, if you take responsibility for him, who will take responsibility for me? The five years I spent with you were ultimately no match for your short time with him."

"In your eyes, I no longer exist, is there only him?"

He Mingxuan said with a self-deprecating laugh,

"That's true. If you believed in me, trusted me, and wanted to choose me, why wouldn't you have asked me? Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Chen Zhiyue bit her lip tightly because what he said was true, and she couldn't refute it.

"never mind!"

Seeing the woman in front of him crying with tears streaming down her face, he couldn't bear it in the end.

He gently rubbed her face with his fingertips, wiping away her tears.

"Chen Zhiyue, if I had been a little more forceful and slept with you, would you still have stayed with me?"

"He Mingxuan, stop talking. I hope we won't meet alone together again."

"I won't get a divorce. There's no possibility between us anymore. Don't pressure me anymore, or you'll be forcing me to die!"

"I understand……"

He Mingxuan said, looking utterly dejected.
"I understand, I get it."

"So in your eyes, he's already more important than me, isn't he?"

"This is just between the two of us, it has nothing to do with him."

"Understood……"

He Mingxuan felt utterly hopeless and nodded slightly.

He had humbled himself to this extent, he had said so much, yet she remained so resolute.

What else could he do?
What can he do with her?
In her heart, he was ultimately the last one.

"Don't worry, you know I never do anything you don't want to do. I never have before, I don't now, and I never will."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"Yueyue, no one owes anyone anything!"

At that moment, He Mingxuan felt relieved.

"It's not your fault, it's my own fault for being so foolish. This is my fate. Go away!" He turned his head away dejectedly, no longer looking at her.

Chen Zhiyue got out of the car and softly said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Chen Zhiyue walked for a long time, but her eyes were still red.

Honestly, she no longer knew whether she loved or didn't love him.

But upon closer reflection, she was ultimately insecure in that relationship!

Otherwise, why wouldn't she even have the courage to ask?

If she had been a little braver back then, things would probably be different between them!

But flowers bloom and wither, the sun rises and sets, and everything, in the end, cannot escape the law of cause and effect.

What is destined cannot be forced.

They were ultimately destined to be apart.
Even if they hadn't broken up back then, they would have eventually separated in the future.

Thinking this way, she felt relieved!
She wiped away her tears and strode forward.

She hadn't gone far when Leng Yunfeng's car stopped beside her.

"Yueyue, get in the car."

She smiled, opened the car door, and got in.
"Why are you here? I thought you weren't coming."

Even though she kept it well, Leng Yunfeng could still tell that she had cried, but in the end, he didn't ask.

"It's Mom's birthday today, let's go back to the compound for dinner."

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me sooner? I didn't prepare anything."

Leng Yunfeng ruffled her hair and said affectionately,

"Don't worry, I've got everything ready."

He had already guessed that she would react this way, and it was exactly as he had imagined.

Leng Yunfeng pulled the person into his arms.

In his presence, she was not as composed and orderly as she was in front of strangers; she was like a child.

He felt that this was the real her.

"That's it!"

Chen Zhiyue looked up and gave him a big smile, and even gave him a thumbs up.

"Yes, yes, you're a quick learner. I trust you to handle things."

"..."

What kind of metaphors are these?!

Xiao Chen, in the driver's seat, tensed up and almost stepped on the accelerator and braked.

This is something only his minister ever says to others.

But right now...

He couldn't help but glance at the man's expression through the rearview mirror.

The man not only didn't seem uncomfortable, but instead looked as if he had received some kind of honor, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Xiao Chen quickly looked away and focused on driving.

I couldn't help but think to myself, is this still the same cold and aloof minister?
It seems my sister-in-law is quite something!

In the back seat, Leng Yunfeng held the woman's hand and played with it absentmindedly.

"How was your day? Are you tired?"

"Not tired at all. There weren't many surgeries today, so it was quite easy."

Chen Zhiyue's lighthearted tone made it clear that there was nothing difficult about it, and in her opinion, today was already quite easy.

You should know that she usually performs four or five surgeries a day.
