Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

Having dodged the wall in front of her, Yin Qiongyun breathed heavily, still shaken.

Jiang Momo, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

Their attitude was as if it wouldn't matter if they actually bumped into each other.

"Something really isn't right with you!"

Once inside the elevator, Yin Qiongyun pressed close to Jiang Momo's face, her eyes practically bulging out of her head.

"I'm fine," Jiang Momo said calmly.

She had a lot to say to her closest best friend and didn't want to be so cold.

However, her own situation was too complicated, and she dared not tell Yin Qiongyun, for fear of implicating her.

Because of what happened last night, and the fact that I didn't sleep well, I look so listless right now.

"You're lying!" Having known her for so many years, Yin Qiongyun knew her better than Jiang Momo herself. "Momo, do you know how obvious it is when you lie?"

The elevator went up floor by floor. Fortunately, there were only the two of them inside, so Yin Qiongyun didn't lower her voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Momo finally reacted.

"Is there?"

"Of course, you always subconsciously purse your lips and look away when you lie," Yin Qiongyun said with certainty.

Jiang Momo wasn't entirely convinced.

Wouldn't she lie?

On the contrary, she's a professional con artist.

After all, every day she stayed in the Li family, she had to wear a mask and pretend to be someone else.

If it were really as Yin Qiongyun said, they would probably have been exposed long ago and then kicked out of the Li family.

"Look, it's like this."

Yin Qiongyun mimicked Jiang Momo's expression, and then stuck out her tongue at the end.

Seeing her own expression reflected on her best friend's face, Jiang Momo finally smiled.

"Alright."

She shook her head. Although the troubles in her heart had not disappeared, her mood had improved considerably.

Seeing that Jiang Momo's expression had improved, the two of them arrived at the floor where their grandmother's ward was located. They stepped out of the elevator but did not go to see their grandmother.

Instead, they tacitly went to the corridor.

There was a row of benches for family members to sit on. Yin Qiongyun led Jiang Momo to sit down, and without saying a word, she held the other's hand.

In the past, whenever Grandma's condition worsened or she needed emergency treatment, the two of them would come here.

They might discuss the illness or try to raise money.

It can be said that this place has witnessed countless difficult choices made by Jiang Momo, as well as the tears she shed in despair.

"Momo."

Returning to this familiar place, I heard Yin Qiongyun's gentle voice.

Even though she had been playing around just now, Yin Qiongyun became serious at this moment.

"I know you've been very tired lately. Whether you want to talk about it or not, I'll be here with you."

"...Ah Yun."

The emotions that had been building up all night finally shattered at this moment.

Tears streamed down Jiang Momo's face like a burst dam.

But she shook her head frantically.

"I can't say."

She couldn't drag Yin Qiongyun into her own despair.

Seeing her best friend like this, Yin Qiongyun felt extremely sorry for her and quickly hugged her to comfort her.

Then guide the questioning step by step.

"Because of Grandma?"

Jiang Momo shook her head.

"Is it because work isn't going well and you're short of money?"

She denied it again.

"Did your boyfriend bully you?"

It wasn't because of my grandmother, nor was it for work.

After thinking for a long time, Yin Qiongyun finally came to this conclusion.

This time, Jiang Momo froze for a moment, neither shaking her head nor giving a positive answer.

"So that's why!"

Thinking it was something serious, Yin Qiongyun nearly jumped up and down when she heard it was about a man, and immediately shouted it out.

"Fine, how dare some scoundrel bully my best friend! Tell me who that guy is, I'll get revenge for you today!"

Jiang Momo was startled by Yin Qiongyun's sudden and intense reaction. She quickly tugged at Yin Qiongyun's sleeve, signaling her to be quiet.

"Shhh."

Yin Qiongyun could not swallow this insult.

"Tell me quickly!"

"It's really nothing," Jiang Momo said with a helpless expression.

What could she say? That she pretended to be someone else to arrange a marriage for money, and then felt played because Li Jiuyuan refused to be intimate with her, so she was sad all day?

However, Yin Qiongyun's attitude was very firm, as if she would dig up Li Jiuyuan and beat him up if Jiang Momo didn't speak up.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Momo could only pick out the less important things to talk about.

"After I came back from my business trip yesterday, he seemed to become particularly cold towards me..."

"Is that why?" Yin Qiongyun asked, puzzled.

Perhaps it was because the two had different views on love, she didn't quite understand why Jiang Momo was internally conflicted about it.

"I thought it was something serious."

With a wave of her hand, Yin Qiongyun began to impart her dating experience.

"After all, everyone is human, and there are bound to be times when we are too busy with work to have the energy. It's understandable if it happens once or twice."

"Just listen to me, send him more messages these next few days and see how he reacts."

"If things get better, we can continue the relationship; if not, we can just find someone else! There are so many good men in the world, and my best friend is so outstanding, how could she not find someone else?"

Although Yin Qiongyun was unaware of the inside story, Jiang Momo still gained some insight from her words.

Yes, I can't keep this stalemate with Li Jiuyuan going on forever, after all, I still have to stay in the Li family for who knows how long.

Anyway, I've already experienced the most shameful things yesterday.

"...I understand," Jiang Momo said in a deep voice. "Thank you."

"I told you not to be so polite with me."

Yin Qiongyun felt that she was a master of love, and she comforted her best friend in just a few words.

"Alright, don't let a man ruin your mood. Let's go see Grandma first. We finally got back from our business trip, so I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight."

"Um."

Seeing Yin Qiongyun's excited expression, Jiang Momo's dormant heart was rekindled and stirred.

……

That evening, although she had dinner with Yin Qiongyun, Jiang Momo returned to the villa before nine o'clock.

As she expected, Li Jiuyuan still didn't return.

She lay in bed, recalling all the intimate things they had done together before, and comparing them to their current cold and distant relationship, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

On the other side, after hesitating for a moment, they finally gritted their teeth and sent out the message they had already prepared.

[Ninth Master, when are you coming back today?]

He waited for a long time with his phone in hand, but still didn't receive a reply from Li Jiuyuan.

Finally, Jiang Momo got sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Momo was awakened by an itch in her palms.

Xiao Mo arrived at some point and began rubbing and licking her palm.

But her first instinct was to look at her phone.

She noticed two unread messages in the upper right corner of the chat app, and her face lit up with joy as she clicked on them.

Li Jiuyuan is willing to talk to me now!

But the next second, Jiang Momo's smile froze completely.

In Li Jiuyuan's chat box, her own message still lay there all alone.

The unread message was from Li Yunqi.
