She laughed, “You really can’t escape those sharp eyes of yours. With you at the helm, the publishing house will surely achieve a lot in the future.”
Could the character Xiao Ye be a reflection of herself? As soon as Hai Jun thought of this possibility, he couldn’t help but look at Xia Bing with concern. Although the character of Xiao Ye was well-crafted, in reality, it would mean enduring a lot of suffering.
“I’m not that miserable. Not every relationship has a beginning and an end. This was just something I wrote when I was young and liked someone. I’m not that sentimental or complicated…” She smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Hai Jun knew that this was not the time to say more, and they sat quietly on the chairs. Xia Bing looked at the endless stream of people, “These people hurrying by have their own stories in their hearts.”
“And some stories are still ongoing,” Hai Jun looked at the people passing by and began to talk about his past. “I came back because I ended a five-year marriage.”
Chen Hai Jun was about the same age as her, and Xia Bing hadn’t expected that he had been married for five years.
Hai Jun’s eyes fell into the distance as he slowly told his story. To marry his ex-wife, he had settled abroad and failed to fulfill his filial duties as a son. Love disappeared in the midst of pots and pans, and increasing desires, leaving only resentment and mutual hurt.
“Missing you is her loss, not yours. Just start over. With your conditions, you’ll find someone.” When Chen Hai Jun spoke of his ex-wife, he didn’t express hatred or disparage her. Xia Bing had friends who were divorced, and usually, when men and women fell out, they would criticize each other, as if such words could restore their self-esteem.

Hai Jun laughed and said that love is not determined by conditions.
“Love may not be determined by conditions, but it can’t exist without them. You’d better not talk to me about love, or you’ll think I’m vulgar,” Xia Bing playfully winked.
