The more you don't want to face it, the faster the day goes by.

Jiang Momo hadn't figured out how to tell Li Jiuyuan about this when it was already time to leave work.

She went downstairs nervously, thinking she would run into Li Jiuyuan.

After all, it was Li Jiuyuan who took the initiative to say he would come to pick her up today.

However, there was nothing at the entrance of the building.

There was no Li Jiuyuan, nor was there a car waiting for her. Only a dark cloud gathered on the horizon, seemingly an omen of an impending downpour.

One by one, my colleagues left the company. Some took taxis, while others got picked up by their families.

Jiang Momo remained standing in the same spot.

She suddenly wondered if Li Jiuyuan was too busy with work to come, or if he had forgotten about her.

Or perhaps if she waits a little longer, he will come again.

As the dampness in the air grew stronger, she took her phone out of her bag, hesitated for a long time after seeing Li Jiuyuan's chat box, and still didn't click on it.

Finally, they found Aunt Chen's phone number in their contacts.

I pressed the call button, and the other end answered after only a few seconds of ringing.

"Madam, when will you be back? Are you calling so I can prepare the meal in advance?"

Hearing Aunt Chen's familiar voice, and at the same time, thunder rumbled in the sky, Jiang Momo suddenly felt a little wronged.

Li Jiuyuan is a big liar.

If it weren't for him, she would have taken a taxi home long ago.

She felt stupid. She clearly didn't want Li Jiuyuan to pick her up, so why didn't she just leave instead of waiting here like an idiot?

But while she thought this way, Jiang Momo spoke in a completely different tone.

"Aunt Chen, has Ninth Master gone back?"

She made the call simply to find out what she really meant to anyone.

Was Li Jiuyuan genuinely delayed at the company due to some business, or were the things he said this morning just a ploy to embarrass her and tease her?

Aunt Chen didn't notice the odd tone in Jiang Momo's voice. She looked up at the second floor and saw Li Jiuyuan walking from the bedroom into the study.

She looked like she had just taken a shower; there were still water stains in her hair.

She said, "President Li returned a while ago, but he seemed to be in a bad mood. Madam, shall I give the phone to President Li?"

Every word reached Jiang Momo's heart, and in a short moment, her blood almost froze, and her body felt cold from head to toe.

Sure enough, what expectations did she have at the beginning?

Li Jiuyuan had already gone back and hadn't come to pick her up at all.

Only a fool, or even a clown, would believe a man's lies.

The rain started, and from the beginning it was a torrential downpour, stinging my skin.

The spot where Jiang Momo was standing wasn't directly exposed to the rain, but the splashing water was enough to soak the hem of her clothes.

She stood by the roadside for a long time, until all the warmth in her body was stolen away, before she finally came to her senses.

"Jiang Momo, what are you thinking? Why are you so heartbroken over a man, especially one who treats you like a plaything?"

"Instead of thinking about these things, you should work more and earn more money for Grandma's medical expenses."

"It's Li Jiuyuan's right not to come. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being so foolish."

But this is good too; it helps her see reality clearly.

Jiang Momo repeatedly reminded herself of this.

She and Li Jiuyuan are from different worlds.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness cannot all be approached from the same perspective.

Don't believe something like this again.

Sooner or later, Li Jiuyuan will completely disappear from her life.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Momo suppressed all the bitterness in her heart and stepped into the rain.

……

The Li Family Villa.

Li Jiuyuan sat at his desk, surrounded by countless documents, but he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

But every now and then I would glance up at the gray sky outside, my mind already soaring to the highest heavens.

"That woman can't be that stupid, can she?"

Seeing that it was about to rain, and since he hadn't gone out, he would definitely find his way back.

Actually, before leaving get off work, although Li Jiuyuan was holding back his anger, he had already arranged for a driver to pick him up from Jingchuang.

But just as he was about to get into the car, his phone vibrated, and he received a message notification from Li Yunqi.

Uncle, thank you so much for this opportunity. I will definitely cherish it and not let you down.

opportunity?

What opportunity?

Is it an opportunity for him to go out and train, or an opportunity for him to get closer to his wife?

Anger overcame reason in an instant. Li Jiuyuan's stern voice made the driver, who had already started the car, turn it around and head directly back to the Li family instead of towards Jingchuang.

He was indeed holding a grudge.

Didn't Jiang Momo think Li Yunqi was better than her? Didn't she seize every opportunity to meet him?

Row.

Then I'll give her that chance.

Even if it rains, Jiang Momo will probably have Li Yunqi pick her up, so there's no need for her to go herself.

He only needed to wait at home for his good nephew to bring his wife home.

Li Jiuyuan took a deep breath, and as the sky outside grew darker and darker, with thunder and rain raging, he finally couldn't sit still any longer, though he was unwilling to admit it. He simply frowned and pushed open the door to his study.

He called out from across the floor, "Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

"President Li, what's wrong? Is there anything you need?"

Li Jiuyuan's face was gloomy, seemingly more frightening than the thunder and lightning outside.

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the sky outside. The light also shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor onto Li Jiuyuan's face, making him look deathly pale and horrified.

He said calmly, "Has Madam not returned yet?"

With such heavy rain, could it have been washed away on the road?

Or perhaps Jiang Momo never intended to come back in the first place. Could it be that she was going to take the necklace she gave her and go to another man's hotel room?

The mere thought of such a possibility made it difficult for Li Jiuyuan to suppress his murderous aura.

Speaking of this, Aunt Chen was also very anxious. Before Li Jiuyuan could get angry, she said urgently:

"He's not back yet. Mr. Li, his wife called a while ago to ask if you'd gotten home. I told her you were home, and she hung up immediately."

Li Jiuyuan's anger, which hadn't yet surfaced, was instantly extinguished by more than half.

His breath hitched slightly, as if he couldn't believe the possibility that had popped into his mind. When he spoke again, his tone was clearly tinged with anger.

"Madam called back. When? Why didn't she tell me?"

Aunt Chen was frightened by his appearance, and she stammered as she spoke.

"It was about half an hour ago. Since you had instructed that no one should disturb you while you were in your study, I hadn't had a chance to speak yet."

Knowing that Chen Aunt couldn't be blamed for this, Li Jiuyuan couldn't imagine the circumstances under which Jiang Momo made that call.

A scene suddenly popped into his mind.

The rain was pouring down, and the woman's slender figure stood by the roadside, soaked from head to toe.

But he never came.
