After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"I heard it on Wednesday morning." After saying that, Yu Yunting went back up the stairs.

Jane looked at his retreating figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at least he keeps his promises and keeps his word.

On Tuesday, Jane Ailing originally wanted to return to her new place, and they would meet directly at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Wednesday. But then she thought about it and remembered that according to their previous agreement, she was required to live in Yunsong Bay.

What if Yu Yunting suddenly uses this to argue that she didn't keep her promise?

At this critical juncture, she cannot afford to make any mistakes that would give him a chance to back out.

In the end, Jane Ailing chose to return to Cloud Pine Bay after finishing her work.

After taking a shower, she dried her hair and looked once again at the room where she had lived for four years.

This is her last night sleeping here. Looking at everything here, she felt a vague sense of reluctance.

The phone that Jian Ailing had tossed onto the sofa vibrated. She looked at the lit screen and saw that it was a message from Yu Yunting.

"Come here"—it remains as concise and to the point as ever.

Her first thought was to refuse. Jane picked up her phone, intending to tell him directly that she wasn't going.

But then she thought about it and realized that as long as they remained husband and wife, the agreement would still be in effect.

She wanted Yu Yunting to keep his promise, so she herself couldn't break her promise here.

Besides, hasn't this always been Yu Yunting's self-positioning? Asking her to come over at this time seems to fit his persona quite well.

Well, the last leg of a journey is the hardest, so she still had to keep their promise and wait until tomorrow morning.

Jane dried her hair and went to Yu Yunting's door, knocking gently.

She knocked on the door, only to find that he hadn't closed it at all.

Yu Yunting had also finished showering and was lounging on the sofa in his pajamas.

He tilted his head, looking at the woman in front of him with a somewhat unfocused gaze.

Jane Ailing could see that his cheeks were slightly flushed, as if he had been drinking.

She remembered Xu Cheng saying that he was going to attend some kind of summit today, and there would be a social engagement afterwards.

Yu Yunting remained silent, and Jian Ailing was unsure of his meaning. After a long silence, she closed the door and walked towards him.

A white towel lay on the corner of the sofa. Jane walked over, picked up the fallen towel, and wiped his still damp hair.

It's the last night, so let her do her best to play the role of Mrs. Yu well.

Yu Yunting remained silent, simply leaning his head back and resting quietly on the sofa.

"His acting is indeed very good." Just as Jian Ailing was about to dry his hair, Yu Yunting suddenly spoke.

"You clearly hate me so much, yet you still try your best to play Mrs. Yu well. You must be exhausted."

She paused in her actions and turned her gaze to Yu Yunting's eyes.

He opened his eyes at some point and looked up at her. From this perspective, Yu Yunting appeared less cold and mocking, and instead seemed harmless, even strangely endearing.

However, what was said was still not anything nice.

"This is our agreement. Since you've kept it, I certainly won't break my promise either."

"I haven't lost my memory, I don't need you to keep reminding me." His breathing seemed a little rapid, but he silently looked away.

"Okay, then I won't say anything." She obediently shut her mouth.

"Jane Ailing, have you been acting for the past four years?" Yu Yunting asked again as Jane Ailing put down the towel. "Didn't you ever have even a shred of genuine feeling?"

He looked up at himself, the dim light casting dappled light on his amber eyes.

She admitted that Yu Yunting looked very attractive from this angle.

That's just how unfair life is. He has a handsome appearance, and he's incredibly persuasive.

Should we tell him the truth?

But the scene where he described her as a toy in front of Xu Cheng in the hotel room is still vivid in Jian Ailing's mind.

His tone was so contemptuous and so hurtful.

Treating her sincerity like a game, as if she were just an NPC to be trampled on at will.

His softened approach at this moment might simply be to confirm whether he had successfully won her over as a game NPC.

If he told him the truth, Yu Yunting might turn around and talk about him again with Xu Cheng and his friends in that dismissive tone—that woman foolishly fell for him, only to be easily discarded by him like a rag.

She didn't want to do as he wished.

"No, it was all an act." Jane Ailing deliberately raised the corners of her mouth, forming a smile.

Yu Yunting turned his head away, his face backlit, and the light in his eyes disappeared.

His hair was already dry. Jane Ailing couldn't figure out what he was planning to do next. She just lowered her eyes and quietly watched him sit silently on the sofa, his features and expression also hidden in the shadows.

"Your hair is dry, shall I go back now?" Jane asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yunting did not ask her to stay.

He sat there silently, seemingly completely oblivious to what Jane Ailing was saying.

"You...get some rest, goodnight." Seeing that he didn't react at all, after waiting for a while, Jian Ailing added softly.

Yu Yunting remained silent. She pursed her lips and walked directly towards the door.

The moment Jane closed the door, she felt a little incredulous.

Did she say something that hurt the man's fragile self-esteem and deeply hurt Yu Yunting?

Otherwise, Yu Yunting's reaction would be a bit too much.

Does anyone really care about liking or disliking toys? If he really cared that much, why didn't he do it a few years ago?

Well, anyway, tonight went smoothly.

The next day, Jane set three or four alarms in case she couldn't get up.

But her worries were completely unnecessary, because she opened her eyes before the first alarm even went off.

This day, which is very ordinary for most people, is of great significance to her.

While she was having breakfast downstairs, Yu Yunting hadn't even come down yet.

It wasn't until she finished breakfast and wanted to go upstairs to urge him that she saw Yu Yunting slowly walking down the stairs.

He looked like he hadn't slept well.

Jane greeted him first, then lowered her head, pretending not to notice his unusual behavior.

Since they're getting divorced soon anyway, her concern at this moment doesn't mean much. Soon they'll be two completely unrelated people.

"We should probably leave soon after we finish eating, as there might be traffic during rush hour." Jian Ailing had already finished breakfast and watched the man across from her leisurely eating, so she couldn't help but urge him on.

"You're really in a hurry," Yu Yunting said coldly, putting down his coffee cup. "It's like you're afraid I'll change my mind any second."
