Ling Momo turned her head and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. Just like her current mood, it was a mess.

After a long time, Ling Momo’s pitch-black eyes finally moved slightly. She then looked at the time stiffly. It was 11:35.

Ling Momo got out of bed in a daze, put on her clothes and shoes, and went downstairs. The Palace’s doorman helped her hail a taxi.

When Ling Momo was in the car, she was still in a daze. She first told the driver about SE company, then changed her words and said X University.

The competition would only start at three O’clock.

Meeting at 12 p.m.

The distance from X University to SE company was neither too far nor too close. Ling Momo thought that if she rushed over and met Lu Niange, she should be able to make it back in time for the competition.

The sky was gloomy and there was rain today.

Heavy rain.

After leaving the Palace last night, Li Qingshen didn’t return to the scenic villa. Instead, he stayed in the car for the whole night.

He did not sleep.

It wasn’t until 11 a.m. that he finally saw Ling Momo walk out of the Palace.

She got into a taxi.

Li Qingshen then started the engine and followed after the car.

According to the route, she was going to SE company. Li Qingshen’s expression relaxed a little.

However, when they were waiting at a red light, the car in front suddenly turned around. Li Qingshen’s eyes turned cold in an instant, and the air pressure in the car was extremely low.

They arrived at X University’s Carving Time café at 12:20 p.m. There were still ten minutes to go before the agreed time between Ling Momo and Lu Niange.

Li Qingshen stopped the car by the side of the road and watched as Ling Momo paid the bill. He got out of the car and walked into Carving Time café.

Ling Momo chose a seat by the window. Li Qingshen could observe the expression on the woman’s face in detail through the window.

A waiter came forward and handed Ling Momo a bill. Ling Momo looked at it for a while, then smiled and said a few words to the waiter. After a while, the waiter brought out a cup of strawberry milkshake.

It was already half past twelve.

Ling Momo was not in a hurry. She sat there patiently, holding a straw and stirring the strawberry milkshake continuously.

From Li Qingshen’s point of view, the scene had a unique and warm beauty to it.

Time passed by slowly.

The strawberry milkshake had already melted.

Lu Niange still did not appear.

The girl was still sitting there quietly, looking at the time from time to time. Then, she would stare at the entrance of Carving Time in a daze.

At half past one, the sky suddenly darkened, and heavy rain poured down.

There were fewer and fewer people on the road, and the number of cars was decreasing.

Li Qingshen’s Bugatti Veyron was still parked at the entrance of Carving Time. Through the window, through the heavy rain, Li Qingshen saw the girl in the coffee shop suddenly lower her head. Her long black hair covered half of her face, and a touch of sadness permeated the air.

Li Qingshen’s eyes gradually turned cold.

2 p.m.

There was still an hour before the competition, and the girl finally moved. She raised her hand and paid the bill.

Then, she stood up and waited for another ten minutes before walking out of the cafe in frustration.

At this moment, the rain was getting heavier.

The girl stood at the entrance of Carving Time and extended her hand to hail a taxi.

It was raining so heavily, and she was on the pedestrian street near the school. There were usually very few cars passing through, let alone in such bad weather.
