“Master, I’m sorry to have broken your heart. I sincerely apologize to you. Master, please forgive me!” Jin Qingyan apologized, after which he immediately kowtowed thrice.
After they were done kowtowing, the sky started pouring without warning.
Jin Qingyan looked up into the sky. At the instant that the raindrops fell onto his face, he felt as if his mentor was caressing it.
The four of them hurriedly scurried away to take shelter for they did not bring any umbrellas.
Strangely, the rain stopped abruptly as soon as they reached their car.
They proceeded to set up two tents with the openings facing the East.
The sky was still bright after the tents were pitched. Thus, they decided to take out the barbecue rack and the food items.
After having dinner together, they returned to their own tents to rest.
Xiao Chenyang and Fang Erlan snuggled up together to chat softly with each other. As curious as a cat, Fang Erlan demanded that Xiao Chenyang tell her more about their previous lifetime.
However, he would often just tell her a small portion of the events that had happened.
This time, he actually told her about everything that had happened, after which an important question came to his mind.
“Do you know which position you enjoyed most in our previous lifetime?”
“No,” Fang Erlan answered, blus.h.i.+ng red with embarra.s.sment.
“Make a guess.”

“From behind?”
Xiao Chenyang squinted and teased, “Seems like you really like it when I enter you from behind.”
“Were you just trying to sound me out?” asked Fang Erlan, who suddenly realized that he seemed to be sounding her out. She found him to be extremely sly all of a sudden. It seemed as if he could find out anything he wanted with the snap of a finger.
“I wasn’t, because you really enjoyed that position in our previous lifetime.”
“Really?” Fang Erlan asked apprehensively.
“Yes.”
She inched closer toward him and asked, “What perfume do you use every day? Why do you smell so good?”
“Have you ever seen me using perfume?”
“No, that’s why I’m curious.”
“I don’t ever use perfume. My scent is natural.”
“Oh, why don’t I have any scent?”
“You do… but only I can smell it,” he said, burying his face in her decolletage to take a whiff of her bodily scent.
Feeling a little ticklish, Fang Erlan wiggled and said, “The night is still young. I can’t fall asleep so early.”
“Who says we have to sleep early?”
“What are we going to do, then?”
“We’ll make love.” He then flipped her over, causing her heart to skip a beat. She grabbed the blanket and moved her body upwards slightly.
….
It was the day after.
Xiao Chenyang was energetic while Fang Erlan was extremely lethargic.
“Erlan, why do you look like you haven’t caught a wink at all last night?” An Xiaoning asked while pouring a bottle of water over Jin Qingyan’s face to help him wash up.
“I couldn’t get used to the change in environment, so I had… insomnia,” Fang Erlan said with a tinge of guilt. She found that her excuse was a little far-fetched. Although we weren’t too vigorous or loud last night, they probably heard us, didn’t they?
An Xiaoning smiled without uttering another word.
They proceeded to have a simple breakfast. Seems like they didn’t make a wasted trip, after all.
The sun rose from the East and cast its warm, golden rays onto the earth beneath it, adding a tranquil and pleasant vibe to the atmosphere on the peak of the mountain.
The four of them stood side by side and stared at the golden sun in high spirits. An Xiaoning whipped out her camera to take several photos.
They gave their bodies a stretch, packed up, and got ready to leave.
The air on the mountains were fresher than ever. Thus, they decided to wind down the windows and let the fresh air in while driving down the mountain.

“I still think you should take Bao’er’s custody back.”
Upon hearing Wen Lele’s words, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan answered without hesitation, “Why?”
“I really like children. Given the state that I’m in now, I really don’t know if I can ever have any of my own. Hence, after giving it some thorough consideration, I’ve decided to treat Bao’er like my own daughter and raise her to adulthood. I think that’d be a great idea.”
s.h.i.+ Shaochuan objected, “Forget it, just let that woman raise Bao’er. She was the one who raised her single-handedly ever since she gave birth to her anyway. I don’t want to take care of Bao’er anymore.”
“Why not? Isn’t she your daughter too?” Wen Lele asked.
“End of discussion. Don’t bring this up ever again.”
“Even if you don’t want to raise her, you should still bring her home often, lest you grow distant from her after not spending time together for too long.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. Just take care of yourself,” s.h.i.+ Shaochuan said, brus.h.i.+ng her off coldly.
Staring at him, Wen Lele answered, “Okay.”
“I’ll go out now, then.”
“Where are you going?”
“To settle something.”
She decided not to probe further, knowing that her efforts would be wasted anyway.
After he left, Wen Lele s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto the window like she usually would. Throughout her hospitalization, she had been spending each day all by herself. There was no one for her to pour her heart out and air her grievances to.
She had lost all hope in life and did not think she would ever feel happy again.
The peaceful and mundane life that she used to live now seemed like Heaven to her; meanwhile, the life that she used to yearn for and was living now seemed to have become h.e.l.l.
There was no way she could get out of the doldrums that her life was now in.
Wen Lele closed her eyes and allowed her tears to flow freely.
She grabbed the corners of the blanket tightly with all her might.
The door opened again, and Wen Lele looked up to see that it was s.h.i.+ Shaochuan who had returned.
“Why are you back again?”
s.h.i.+ Shaochuan handed her an agreement that he was holding and said, “I’ve thought about it, and I decided that it’d be better to give this to you now. After all, it’s only a matter of time before we have to sign it.”
Wen Lele grabbed the doc.u.ment, only to discover that it was a divorce agreement.
“You… are divorcing me?”
“Yes, let’s get a divorce. I won’t ill-treat or shortchange you. I’ll give you enough money that’ll allow you to live a carefree life from now on.”
“No amount of money can restore my health and appearance. Do you think you can remove these ugly scars of mine with all that money?”
After a moment of silence, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan answered, “No one wanted that to happen. Lele, I know you must be feeling terrible, but this is inevitable. Getting a divorce is mandatory. There’s no other option.”
“How much are you planning to give me?”
“Five million dollars, all in one go. It’s enough to last you a lifetime.”
Wen Lele guffawed sarcastically and sneered, “Five million dollars… that’s not a small sum. I’d have to work for years before I can earn that much money. s.h.i.+ Shaochuan, you’re really generous, eh? But shouldn’t I be ent.i.tled to half of your a.s.sets if we are to get a divorce?”
“Half of my a.s.sets? Impossible. We’ve only been married for such a short period of time. I’ve only bedded you once and yet you’re asking for half of my a.s.sets? Frankly speaking, I only decided to give you that sum of money as a form of compensation because you had gotten injured at my home. What else do you want? How dare you ask for half of my a.s.sets?”
