“Mu Ran, stop right there!” Fu Ting growled.

Mu Ran stopped for a moment, turned around, and looked at Fu Ting blankly. She blinked innocently as she asked, “Mr. Fu, what brings you here? If I remember correctly, I didn’t invite you, did I? I don’t think I have the capability to invite someone like you.”

Fu Ting frowned and looked at Mu Ran. She had never talked to him like this before.

He glanced at Mu Ran and looked at Qin Wei, who was also staring at him seriously.

He didn’t have any impression of Qin Wei, and he only felt hatred for him when he saw him again.

“Is that so?” Fu Ting paused and sneered, “I came here to ask you to show yourself some respect. We just got divorced, and you come to such a place and flirt with another man. Isn’t it inappropriate?”

Qin Wei was talking business with Mu Ran just now so Fu Ting obviously misunderstood.

Mu Ran was too lazy to explain. She let Fu Ting’s imagination run wild and even went along with it, “Is that so? I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about it. We are already divorced. Whether I go to such places or get together with other men, it has nothing to do with you right, Mr. Fu? Or do you still think about me even though we are divorced?”

It had been a long time since Mu Ran had seen Fu Ting suffer, so she was secretly pleased.

“You’ve misunderstood,” Fu Ting snorted coldly, “I have no interest in your nonsense but it’s just that your actions have already reached my grandfather’s ears. He was originally praying in the temple, but he specially called to say that he wanted to see you.”

Fu Ting enunciated each word, his tone distant and cold.

Mu Ran was startled, and her eyes dimmed slightly. “Grandfather knows? And he wants to see me?”

In the Fu family, the only one she still cared about was Fu Ting’s grandfather who had appointed her to marry Fu Ting back then. Her marriage with Fu Ting was unfortunate, but Mr. Fu doted on her and was even closer to her than his own granddaughter.

“Of course, if you’re not free, I can also refuse on your behalf.”

Fu Ting sneered and his gaze fell on Qin Wei. “After all, I can’t control you dating other men.”

After he said that, he left without looking back.

Although Mu Ran hesitated, she still caught up with Fu Ting.

Qin Wei wanted to follow, but Mu Ran stopped him. She asked him to stay and not to worry about her. He just needed to help her take care of the guests tonight.

Qin Wei was reluctant, but he could only watch helplessly as Fu Ting took Mu Ran away.

The two of them entered the car and didn’t say anything. They just let the car drive on until they reached the temple halfway up the mountain.

Fu Ting took Mu Ran into the temple. They passed through a long corridor and stopped in front of a room on the right at the end. “Go in, I’ll wait for you outside.”

Mu Ran pushed open the door and entered. She glanced at Fu Qi, who was sitting on a chair like a monk in meditation. Her eyes turned red and she called out softly, “Mr. Fu.”

Fu Qi opened his eyes and pointed at the chair beside him, motioning for her to sit down.

“Mu Ran, is this really the end between you and Fu Ting? Can you guys not work things out?” Fu Qi was old, his hair was white, and he was not very agile. He coughed lightly and said, “I know Fu Ting is not sensible but why are you also being willful? You’re too impulsive.”

Mu Ran sighed. She knew that the old man was talking about her divorce with Fu Ting.

She and Fu Ting had been divorced for less than a week, but it seemed like five or six years had passed.

Mu Ran walked in front of Fu Qi, squatted down, and looked at the old man with her bright eyes, “He doesn’t like me to begin with. I’ve been forcing him for the past six years. You should actually be happy that we’re divorced. I’ve let him go, and he has let me go too.”

Fu Qi shook his head as well. “Mu Ran, it’s not your fault. It’s Fu Ting’s fault for not knowing how to appreciate and treasure you. But I’ve seen how much you like him all these years. Can you really let it go?”

Mu Ran couldn’t bear to lie to the old man, and neither did she want to lie to her own heart. “So what if I can’t let it go? I don’t have a choice. But it’s really enough, it’s really over between him and me.”

Mu Ran didn’t regret the divorce. It was just a pity that she could no longer be by Fu Qi’s side and be filial. She felt a little regretful.

“But if Fu Ting regrets it one day, would you still be willing to be with him?” Fu Qi couldn’t bear to part with Mu Ran and hoped that things would turn around.

Mu Ran smiled bitterly. Although she could not bear to, she still gave a negative answer.

“Mr. Fu, he won’t..”
