Nian Ueno

[Gentle Little Rabbit: I love him, and no matter what, I can never divorce him. I'm sorry, I lied to you, it's all my fault. I apologize. Please forget me. (Bowing sincerely)]

[Mr. Liu Liu: Are you really not going to consider my proposal?]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: I'm sorry, my man found our chat history. I can't chat with you anymore. He's also transferred all the money you gave me. I don't have any money to pay you back. I'm so sorry, so very sorry.]

[Gentle Little Rabbit: If you feel your money isn't well spent on someone like me, I'll work hard and do part-time jobs to earn it back. It just needs a little time.]

Looking at the screen filled with dense text, Ji Dongxun felt a deep sense of helplessness, yet also a touch of amusement.

He was laughing at himself.

He laughed at himself for being so easily charmed by such a woman, and for being completely fooled by her.

She laughed at him for finally convincing himself to accept her conditions, only to be rejected.

Ji Dongxun closed his eyes.

That's enough.

What exactly is he doing?

He curled his fingers and typed a line of text on the screen.

[Mr. Liu Liu: You don't need to return the money. I'm giving it to you voluntarily; it's your payment for the time you've been working.]

Jiang Weixi was once again surprised by his generosity.

If this person isn't a cheating scumbag, then his character and morals are truly impeccable.

[Gentle Little Rabbit: Thank you, I'm so glad I met you, but I probably won't be able to chat with you anymore, my husband would beat me if he found out.]

Mr. Liu Liu did not reply for a long time.

Jiang Weixi thought he probably wouldn't reply anymore.

She transferred all the money out of the account, unlinked all bank cards, ID cards, and other information, and then cancelled the account.

Finally, she uninstalled the cloned app.

To prevent the other party from finding ways to dig up her information, she even spent some money to hire a hacker to encrypt the account she had used and to add a layer of fake information to mislead people.

In this way, all contact with him was completely severed.

"Goodbye, Mr. Liu Liu. Take good care of your wife."

Jiang Weixi muttered to herself, put down her phone, and lay down on the bed.

Recalling the moments she had spent with Mr. Liu during this time, she felt a little down and sighed heavily.

Thunder rumbled outside, dark clouds loomed overhead, and a torrential downpour began in an instant.

cafes.

Ji Dongxun listened to the pattering rain and stared blankly at the green plants by the window.

Xiao Zhou had been quietly observing from the side and noticed that Mr. Ji's expression was a bit off, so he came over to ask him.

"Sir, it's raining. When would you like to leave?"

Ji Dongxun stood up, shoved his phone into his suit pocket, and said, "Let's go now."

Xiao Zhou's eyes widened: "Now? You...aren't waiting for anyone?"

"I'm not waiting anymore." He lowered his brows, his face grim.

Xiao Zhou followed Ji Dongxun outside, cautiously asking as they walked, "Sir, who are we waiting for?"

Who on earth was this person who stood Mr. Ji up twice?

Xiao Zhou really wanted to know.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ji remained expressionless and showed no interest in sharing gossip with him.

"It doesn't matter anymore, let's go."

Ji Dongxun walked out of the coffee shop, and Xiao Zhou opened an umbrella.

Ji Dongxun got into the car and left the city in the pouring rain.

It was already night when we returned to City A.

The rain stopped.

The night sky is studded with stars.

As night fell, he couldn't sleep. He subconsciously reached for his phone to open the chat window, but his fingers suddenly froze.

Because her ID changed to a string of numbers, it seemed as if her initial ID had been restored.

There is a line of small white text in the lower left corner of the dialog box.

[This user has been deleted]

Ji Dongxun tried sending an emoji.

It is followed by a red exclamation mark.

As expected, no one accepted it.

Did she just quietly delete her account and disappear like that?

Ji Dongxun rubbed his hair in frustration, a sudden surge of anger rising within him. He tossed his phone aside, pulled the covers over himself, and went to sleep.

It's just an online friend. If we don't want to chat anymore, we can just find someone else.

The next night.

Ji Dongxun started looking for girls with nice voices online again. He listened to more than a dozen but was not satisfied. Finally, he found one whose voice was similar to his own.

Ji Dongxun asked the other person to tell the story of the Little Mermaid, and the other person told it in a very serious and methodical manner.

He felt something was missing; he couldn't recapture the feeling of chatting with Gentle Rabbit back then.

Finally, he gave up and decided to be alone.

Grandma Ji called: "Xiao Xun, didn't you say you were bringing a girl home? When are you coming?"

Ji Dongxun frowned: "Grandma, I've been very busy these past few days. Let's wait a few more days."

Grandma Ji: "Okay, Grandma will be waiting for you at home."

office.

Ji Dongxun leaned back in his chair, his eyelids drooping, listening to his subordinates report on their work.

Mr. Ji has been in a bad mood lately, and the atmosphere in the entire office is very tense.

Those people were very cautious, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of angering him.

Many people asked Xiao Zhou what had happened.

Xiao Zhou shook his head, looking equally bewildered.

Mr. Ji's expression has been terrible ever since he returned that day.

A thought was creeping into Xiao Zhou's mind. After everyone left the office, he approached Ji Dongxun and asked, "Sir, were you scammed in an online romance?"

Ji Dongxun stiffened, sat up straight, and stared intently at Xiao Zhou with his dark pupils, without saying a word.

Xiao Zhou felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and forced herself to voice her guess: "When you went to that coffee shop last time, were you meeting up with someone you met online...?"

Ji Dongxun remained silent, and Xiao Zhou felt that he had guessed correctly.

Xiao Zhou coughed a few times and began to recount his three past online dating experiences.

He has a lot to say on this matter.

After listening, Ji Dongxun fell into deep thought, and then instructed Xiao Zhou to do something.

Investigate the information on Gentle Rabbit.

He just wanted to know how much of what she said was true, and he also wanted to know what she was really like.

Grandma Ji called him three times a day to urge him to come back.

Ji Dongxun could only use work as an excuse to decline: "Grandma, let's do it in a few days."

Grandma Ji complained, "You child, you always say 'a few days,' and then 'tomorrow,' and 'tomorrow,' how many tomorrows are there? I, an old woman, don't even know how many more tomorrows I have left."

"Grandma, please don't say such unlucky things. I promise I'll come to see you this Saturday."

"Okay, remember to bring your girl."

"Mm," Ji Dongxun replied frankly, though a hint of bitterness lingered in his heart.

Where is he going to find a girl now?

Could it be that I'm really going to listen to Grandma's arrangements and marry Jiang Weixi...?

Xiao Zhou was very quick and gave him the investigation results.

"Sir, the other party's IP address was previously located in Antarctica."

Ji Dongxun frowned: "Antarctica?"

Xiao Zhou: "Yes, but I feel that the identities we collected are likely fake. The other party probably used some technology to obscure the real addresses."

It seems that Gentle Rabbit is on guard against him; she has been prepared for this and does not want to expose herself.

Maybe from the beginning, she was only after his money, and now that she feels she's had enough, she's going to delete the account and run away.

Ji Dongxun looked displeased and dismissed Xiao Zhou.

Saturday.

He went to Nanshan Garden to visit his grandmother.

Grandma Ji looked behind him and asked, "Where's the girl you mentioned?"

Ji Dongxun said calmly, "No."

Grandma Ji gave her a look that said, "I knew it all along."

"Since you didn't bring anyone back, shouldn't you fulfill your previous promise, and...?"

"Grandma," Ji Dongxun interrupted her, "You really want me to get married?"

Grandma Ji held his hand and sighed, "Xiao Xun, this is Grandma's last wish."

Grandma Ji was worried about his lonely life and wanted to see him get married and have children, so that he would have some connection in this world.

Moreover, she could tell that the girl liked Xiao Xun very much, and Xiao Xun also treated the girl differently, though he himself was unaware of it.

Ji Dongxun sat there in silence for a long time, his eyes dim, as if he were thinking about something.

He nodded: "Okay, since Grandma likes her, I'm willing to marry her."
