The divorce proceedings between me and Lu Jingtian went very smoothly. He left with nothing and had no objections. On the day we signed the papers, I took a trip to Paris alone and used Lu Jingtian's money to buy a vineyard. In Montmartre, the sunrise was beautiful. I plan to study winemaking in France and settle down in Paris.
The year Lu Jingtian married Meng Shasha was also the year I went abroad. The bride wore a high-end custom wedding dress, adorned with jewels, looking quite luxurious. When I married Lu Jingtian, only the aunt from the village came to celebrate, and the banquet was held in a small restaurant. Our paths have already diverged completely.
A year later, I returned home to pay respects at my mother's grave and encountered Lu Jingtian again. The weeds had overgrown her tombstone, and I crouched down to clear them slowly. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Lu Jingtian approaching. He walked slowly toward me, his expression complicated: "Li Ying, long time no see."
I frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you."
"See me?"
"Yes, I wanted to meet you."
I looked at him warily: "Lu Jingtian, you are already married now; you shouldn't be looking for me."
Lu Jingtian was silent for a few seconds before saying, "The night your mother passed away, you called me, but I didn't come. Do you know why?"
I nodded: "I know."
"Do you want to know the reason?"
"I don't want to."
I looked at him coldly:
"Lu Jingtian, there is no longer any connection between us."
"I don't want to know anything about you."
Lu Jingtian gave a bitter smile:
"You are still the same as before, your words are merciless."
I frowned: "If you came here just to reminisce about the past, then you can leave."
Lu Jingtian said softly, "Li Ying, I'm sorry..."
"Sasha had a miscarriage that night. I took her to the hospital, so I couldn't come."
"Miscarriage?"
I was slightly taken aback.
Lu Jingtian's mother was a very harsh woman. When we lived together before, she often mocked me and ordered me around; our relationship was not good.
But after the divorce, I gradually let go of my resentment towards her.
Now hearing about her miscarriage, I felt no emotion at all.
"Oh, then you can go back."
I said expressionlessly, "I need to speak with my mom alone for a few minutes."
Lu Jingtian hesitated for a few seconds and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
I squatted by the grave and burned some paper money for my mom.
I whispered, "Mom, I'm in Paris now and might not come back often."
"You must take care of yourself over there, being alone."
"Mom, I miss you so much."
After saying these words, I turned and left.
Lu Jingtian stood not far away, silently watching me.
He held a black umbrella, his tall figure and handsome face still looking as good as ever. I walked towards him, and he instinctively reached out his hand to me. I slightly turned to the side and avoided it.
"Lu Jingtian, between us..."
"We can't go back, do you understand?" Lu Jingtian said with a bitter smile.
"I understand, I just... can't let go of it."
"Can't let go?" I laughed self-deprecatingly. "It's really ironic to hear that from you."
After leaving the cemetery, Lu Jingtian followed me. Wherever I went, he went too.
"Why are you following me?" I asked helplessly.
He smiled lightly. "I wanted to see how you've been all these years."
I coldly replied, "I'm doing well now, no need for you to worry."
"That's good," Lu Jingtian said softly. "If you're doing well, then I can rest easy."
I frowned and couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
I went into a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes; Lu Jingtian sat down with me.
I ignored him.
While eating, Lu Jingtian kept trying to find topics to chat with me. He said, "Do you remember? When we first got married, we loved coming to this place. You especially liked their sweet and sour ribs..."
I interrupted him, "Stop talking."
"Why?"
"It's pointless."
I said expressionlessly, "Lu Jingtian, people change. Stop bringing up the past."
Lu Jingtian looked at me in confusion and asked, "Li Ying, are you still you?"
"Yes, and no."
"What do you mean?"
"I am still me, it's just..."
I paused, "I no longer have feelings for you."
Lu Jingtian's face turned pale.
He was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Li Ying, do you hate me?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really."
I answered calmly, "Lu Jingtian, to me now, you are just an insignificant stranger."
"Why would I hate you?"
Lu Jingtian's expression grew even worse.
He lowered his head and murmured, "So you really have let go..."
"Yes."
"What about me?"
"What?"
"What should I do?"
I replied lightly, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Lu Jingtian, we are already divorced. You need to take responsibility for your wife, not come to entangle me."
Lu Jingtian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right."
