Shang Mian stopped, unable to recover for a long time, then gave a bitter smile. He suspected she would live well without him.
Should he continue searching for her?
Shang Mian hesitated briefly before swimming towards the voice. Even if she had another man, he had to see how she was doing.
Her voice guided him, and the darkness thinned, with a faint light emerging. Shang Mian leaped joyfully towards it, breaking out of the darkness, but his physical body disappeared, leaving only his consciousness.
He saw a strange woman and an unfamiliar man. The woman’s face was new to him, but her voice was exactly the same.
Shang Mian felt momentarily desperate.
After traversing heaven and earth, he still hadn’t found Ruan Ning. However, he noticed the strange woman’s movements matched his memories of her and heard the man call her “Ning Ning.”
Shang Mian’s blood boiled. Could it be her? The man embraced her intimately, whispering in her ear. She giggled, tweaking his ear and saying, “Pervert!” Shang Mian recalled she had once said this to him, and he had never heard anyone else use that word.
Was it her? Was that man Lin Jie? Shang Mian was consumed by jealousy. She had left him to find Lin Jie, while he had been searching for her.
If he still had his body, he would have rushed to confront the man. But now, as a consciousness floating in the air, he could only watch helplessly.
Suddenly, the man turned and glanced in his direction, a subtle smile in his eyes. Shang Mian felt himself being drawn toward him and struggled futilely before rushing into the man’s body, becoming one with him.
Meanwhile, Ruan Ning concentrated on selecting a phone on her computer screen. Her previous phone had malfunctioned after falling into water, and she had planned to use it longer. However, she accidentally kicked it last night, smashing it against the window frame.
When she woke up, it was completely shattered, forcing her to buy a new one.
“Chu Yuan, how about this one?” she asked, looking at a model.
“Ning Ning,” a low voice came from behind her, followed by cold hands cupping her face, “Does my empress still remember me?”
Ruan Ning shivered. Who?
