Chapter 408


    Shi Jin''s car stopped. She took off her eye mask, got out of the car, and walked into the alley.


    Chu Ling followed her.


    Shi Jin stopped in her tracks and turned around warily. She saw Chu Ling walking over.


    "Shi Jin." Chu Ling was afraid that she would avoid him. He hurried forward and stood beside her.


    "How have you been?"


    Shi Jin looked at him coldly. "You don''t seem to have the right to ask this question."


    "I know." Chu Ling''s voice was filled with pain. "I know that I camete and cared for you toote...


    but I really want to know your situation."


    "Save those words for your fans."


    "Shi Jin!" Chu Ling took two steps forward and said, "Shi Xuexin and I have broken up. We have


    also annulled the engagement."


    Shi Jin looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. The words ''What does this have to do with me''


    were clearly written in her eyes.


    "I finally understand who is the most important and precious person in my life," Chu Ling said softly


    and solemnly. "I also know how many mistakes I have made in the past."


    He lifted his head. "Shi Jin, do you still remember what you said in the past? You said that you


    wanted a house that belonged to you. You said that you wanted to nt the flowers and nts that


    you wanted in it and have a world that belonged to you."


    Shi Jin was in a daze. Did she say those words? She hadpletely forgotten about it.


    Compared to her current life, Chu Ling was more like a person who had appeared in a dream. His


    image in her mind was indifferent and could not stir any waves in her heart. She already had a lot of


    things that belonged to her now. What he said was not important at all and was not worth her


    attention.


    Chu Ling took out the property deed. He did not know what he could use to move Shi Jin''s heart.


    Her coldness and distance stung his eyes, but he had to try again.


    "Look, this is the vi I bought. It''s right beside the Fifth Ring. It has a very big garden. You can


    nt everything you want inside. I can help you loosen the soil and water it. We''ll have children in


    the future..."


    "Shut up!" Shi Jin stopped him coldly.


    "It''s better than you renting a courtyard house here to grow flowers and nts!" Chu Ling had asked


    around and found out that the courtyard house was filled with Shi Jin''s nts.


    He said, "The vi I bought has a front yard, a garden tform on the top floor, and a few big


    balconies. They are all for you to nt flowers and nts. Shi Jin, I want you to consider it. I am


    very sincere. I want to fulfill your dream and fulfill my own as well."


    "I''m sorry, my dream has nothing to do with you." Shi Jin took a few steps back when she saw him


    coming forward.


    "Shi Jin..." Chu Ling stepped forward to grab her wrist. However, Shi Jin avoided it easily and did


    not give him any chance. She looked at him coldly. "Please don''t look for me anymore. There''s


    nothing between us anymore."


    She looked behind him. "Xiao Li!"


    Xiao Li had already run over. He was worried about Shi Jin''s safety and stayed close to her.


    "Let''s go," Shi Jin said to Xiao Li.


    "Okay." Xiao Li red at Chu Ling before following Shi Jin.


    When they got into the car, Shi Jin pinched the space between her eyebrows, feeling a little


    frustrated.


    It was not because his words had touched her, but because Chu Ling had found out about the ce


    where the flowers were raised. It would be inconvenient for her toe over so casually next time.


    She had to think of a way.


    Chu Ling clenched his fists as he watched Shi Jin''s back disappear. He got into the nanny van and


    the car disappeared from his sight.


    He didn''t believe that Shi Jin would be so heartless to him. How could her past love disappear so


    quickly?


    She had sung so many sincere love songs. Did it have nothing to do with him?


    He stood in a daze for a while before walking to the courtyard house and knocking on the door.


    The uncle opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "Hello, I want to rent this


    courtyard house at a high price," Chu Ling said.


    If he rented it at a high price, he would be closer to Shi Jin.


    He had never thought of buying it because there would be nobody who would sell a courtyard


    house in the imperial capital. Even if there was, there would be no buyers because they would be...


    unable to afford it.


    Especially in this core area.


    "No rent, no sale. The owner is using it," the old man said and closed the door.


    The door almost knocked into Chu Ling''s nose.


    Owner is using it? What did this mean?


    Chu Ling''s fingers hung on the edge of his pants, not understanding the sentence.


    When Shi Jin returned to Orchid Pavilion, Fu Xiuyuan had just returned from work.


    "Didn''t you say you went to see the flowers?" He was surprised that Shi Jin had returned so quickly.


    "I didn''t see the flowers. I saw Chu Ling," Shi Jin said helplessly.


    Fu Xiuyuan frowned slightly. Shi Jin did not hide anything from him and told him the truth.


    "So, I''m not in the mood to look at flowers anymore. I came straight home," said Shi Jin.


    When she mentioned Chu Ling, she did not look reluctant at all. Her tone waspletely calm, as if


    that waspletely unimportant. As if he wasn''t even a


    person, just something unimportant.


    Fu Xiuyuan''s brows rxed slightly and said, "I''ll apany you to the backyard to look at the


    flowers."


    Shi Jin smiled and ced her hand in his palm. Actually, looking at flowers was secondary. The key


    was the person who looked at them together.


    When she arrived at the backyard, Fu Xiuyuan tidied up his cufflinks and picked up his tools. "I''ll go


    weed."


    The man with the tie was already looking like a model when he started to weed. He looked more


    attractive than when he was reading files.


    "Then I''ll go water them." Shi Jin caught up with him.

    After that, Chu Ling went to the courtyard house a few more times, but he never got close to it


    again.


    The road that they had to pass through was already closed for the purpose of city nning. The


    cars that came and went had to have a pass to enter. He didn''t have a pass and couldn''t find out


    where he could get a pass no matter how hard he tried. He had no choice, but to give up on


    meeting Shi Jin here.


    He was busy with work himself and had to postpone things indefinitely.


    ***


    Shi Jin sat in Xiao Li''s car. When she arrived, she saw the closed road.


    "Xiao Li, did you get a pass?" Shi Jin asked.


    "No." Xiao Li took a look and said, "I''ll turn around first and ask Brother Yao how to handle this."


    Just as he was about to turn around, the closed path opened up and allowed them to pass.


    "What''s going on?" Xiao Li asked the person inside.


    "Nothing''s going on. Your car is free to go anywhere."


    Xiao Li mumbled strangely. Shi Jin turned around and roughly understood what he meant.


    Fu Xiuyuan, that petty man, deliberately sealed off this area because he didn''t want Chu Ling to


    take another step in. However, this action really won her heart. She didn''t want to see Chu Ling


    again.


    The two people who opened the road also said strangely, "It''s weird. I didn''t see anything here that


    needed to be fixed, yet the road is closed."


    "That''s right. Normally, no one woulde to this road. It can only lead to the courtyard house over


    there. Other than the people in that courtyard house, it basically has no effect. I don''t know what


    kind of strange rule this is."


    "I really don''t understand."


    "If you don''t understand, just keep working. There''s no need for us to understand the world of


    others."
