Let me explain, it's not what you think.

Yu Ning's cave dwelling is located halfway up Xuanmu Peak, in a remote location with few people around.

After she moved away, the cave remained empty, but the array at the entrance was still there; she had set it up herself.

"It's been a long time since I've been back. This cave is practically deserted. Please forgive me, my husband."

Lu Chen stood in the hall without saying a word.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Yu Ning, are you really sure about this...?"

Yu Ning paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Chen. There was no hesitation in her almond-shaped eyes, only an almost indifferent calmness.

"I've thought it through. Actually, from that day on, I had no way out. Fortunately, Mr. Lu, you were willing to take me in."

"Lu Lang, I know you're suffering. But have you ever considered that you haven't done anything wrong? You were just... pushed here by fate!"

"I was forced here by you!" Lu Chen shouted.

"Yes, I won't make excuses for myself," Yu Ning said softly.

"I made a mistake, I admit it. But I don't regret it. Because now there's no going back, and I don't want to go back."

……

Zhang Fan arrived in the evening.

He changed into a new set of clothes, carried a food box filled with all sorts of delicious food, stood at the entrance of the cave, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Yu Ning, it's me."

There was no sound inside.

"Yu Ning, I know you're inside. I brought Qingling Fruit, your favorite."

"I understand, just leave it outside." Yu Ning's voice came from inside the house.

"You have to let me in, right? What do you mean by not opening the door?"

Zhang Fan was somewhat dissatisfied, believing that Yu Ning was still trying to amuse him.

"Haven't I already told you that I've found someone who loves me very much, and that I plan to spend the rest of my life with him? You just never believe me!"

"Now, I'll make you believe!"

"What, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan panicked.

But panicking was useless, because he could clearly sense that Yu Ning was injured and being attacked!

"Yu Ning, open the door, let's talk this out."

His voice remained relatively steady, with a trace of restraint.

Yu Ning's voice came through the crack in the door; it wasn't loud, but it was very clear.

"He loves me, and I love him. I'm telling you, don't bother me anymore!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Fan's voice suddenly rose.

"It's only been a few days? Where did you find this person? You're just trying to annoy me, you're just trying to make me anxious!"

He stopped before he could finish speaking.

Because Yu Ning ignored him, his injuries became even more severe!

"Yu Ning?"

His voice trembled, but no one answered him.

The only sound was the voices of the two actors acting, like knives stabbing into his heart, one after another, striking his soul.

"Yu Ning!!!" He lunged forward, slamming his fist against the door with a loud thud.

But there was an array on the door, an array he had never seen before. As the spiritual light flowed, it bounced all his strength back, making his tiger's mouth numb.

Ignoring the pain, he kept punching the door until it was a bloody mess, with blood smeared on the door panel, but the door didn't budge.

"Open the door!! Let me in!!!"

His voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like his own; it sounded like a wounded wild beast.

He thought she was being stubborn, that she was joking, and that if he lowered his head, she would soften and cry as she threw herself into his arms.

But she didn't.

She just let him listen.

Zhang Fan cried.

"Yu Ning... I'm begging you..."

"I can't live without you... Please come back... I won't care about anything else... I won't care about anything else..."

Inside the cave, Lu Chen heard Zhang Fan crying outside the door, and he cried too.

……

The next morning, Zhang Fan finally left.

Lu Chen stood by the door, watching Zhang Fan's figure disappear through the crack, and clenched his fists.

Yu Ning walked up from behind, gently hugged his waist, and leaned wearily against his back.

"He's gone, it's time for us to go too."

"Um."

Lu Chen put Yu Ning into his magic rune space and left, returning to his cave.

He didn't dare go out all day.

Similarly, he did not receive any messages from Zhang Fan.

It wasn't until another day later that he received a message from Lin Tian, ​​asking him to come over.

When Lu Chen arrived at Lin Tian's cave, the door was not closed.

He stood at the door and saw Lin Tian sitting at the table with several jars of wine in front of him, two of which were already empty.

Wang Feng was also there, sitting to the side, holding a cup in his hand, without saying a word.

"You're here?"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen walked in and sat down opposite him.

He basically already knew what was going on, after all, it was his own order to Zhuang Jingbai.

"Jingbai and I have divorced."

Sure enough, the next second Lin Tian said what Lu Chen had in mind.

She said she had no feelings for me anymore, that she had misjudged me from the beginning, and that she still couldn't accept my running away from the wedding.

Lin Tian smiled slightly, as if he were laughing at himself.

"Indeed, I deserve it. I even dared to dream of having two wives."

Wang Feng remained silent, because in his view, running away from a wedding was indeed a serious matter.

Lu Chen gripped the wine glass tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"I don't blame her for this. You can't force feelings. If she doesn't want to continue, then so be it. It's not like I, Lin Tian, ​​can't live without anyone."

"I'm just... just feeling a bit down, in a bad mood, bro, come drink with me!"

Lu Chen nodded and poured himself a glass.

The three men drank in silence, none of them uttering a word.
