Zhong Mingzhen put down the flowers in his hand and helped Liang Yin up, “Get up.” Since she squatted down, there were wet stains on the lower hem of her coat and his voice was very calm with rare tenderness.

Liang Yin stood up, with tears trickling down again.

Zhong Mingzhen took a handkerchief out to wipe her tears, but Liang Yin took it as she didn’t dare letting him do it.

After a moment of wavering, she became clear-headed that they were already divorced.

Zhong Mingzhen didn’t mind. He turned around to look at the tombstone and held the umbrella in his right hand again. As Liang Yin was standing on his right, the umbrella was entirely over her head.

The drizzling rain wet his shoulder, which he totally took no notice of.

Perceiving it somewhat, Liang Yin eventually didn’t say anything. He has always been very gentlemanly.

The two of them stood side by side, and none of them spoke.

The rain still drizzled and the distant mountains were hazy, while the world was completely silent and Zhong Mingzhen’s gaze was somewhat reserved.

Liang Yin held back her tears and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, which carries his unique cold yet calming scent.

This was the fragrance she chose for him that was placed in his wardrobe, and the clothes he was wearing had also hung in the mansion all this time.

Though he rarely comes back, she always has clothes prepared for him, just in case he returns.

He in fact rarely wears down jackets or such clothes, since it is not necessary at all for the gatherings he attends. She bought this down jacket in advance for him when he arranged the winter fishing with his friends last winter.

But afterwards he didn’t go due to some matters, so this jacket had been shelved aside.

Lowering her head, the rims of Liang Yin’s eyes tear up a little again.

She didn’t know why he appeared here, as he shouldn’t have come today. He would indeed accompany her all these years and had arranged it as an itinerary, but now, they have already divorced.

But she ultimately figured out the reason. After her maternal grandma died, she had no one else and he was the only one accompanying her all these years, so if he didn’t come, she would really be alone.

He is a very good person, always has been. Although they are divorced, he still treats her as ‘Zhong family’s little sister’, without responsibility but still with tenderness.

Just like that year, knowing that she liked Victor, he eventually still left it behind though he planned to bring it along. It was precisely because he knew that she was lonely without anyone to lean on and had no one to keep her company.

He had also told her that she could come back to visit often on the day they signed the divorce papers.

He is really a very very good person …

Clenching the handkerchief tightly, Liang Yin inhaled deeply trying not to cry again.

Not knowing how long later when Zhong Mingzhen spoke again, “Let’s go back.”

Dressed too lightly, she appeared particularly desolate in this precarious weather.

With reeling glistening tears, Liang Yin finally nodded.

On the way back, he still held the umbrella for her and maintained a certain distance away. Liang Yin clasped both her hands together, not daring having any contact.

Xiao Tian was waiting at a distance with an umbrella and Zhong Mingzhen’s chauffeur was there too. Liang Yin lowered her head when she saw Xiao Tian, as she found it hard to speak about her matters.

“Let’s go.” Zhong Mingzhen spoke from her side, without any intention of stopping.

Liang Yin could only follow hearing that.

Xiao Tian looked at them as if wanted to say something, but they left right away, so she had to follow.

She came with an umbrella earlier but stopped her track when she saw someone else was there. She naturally recognized Zhong Mingzhen, since she had met him once with Zhong Jianian. She didn’t know he was precisely Liang Yin’s husband but realized later when the news came out.

Parked halfway up the mountain, there were only a few cars. Her car was in the front while Zhong Mingzhen’s car was separated by a certain distance behind.

When Liang Yin wanted to bid her farewell, Zhong Mingzhen didn’t walked forward but stopped by her car.

Liang Yin was a little surprised as Zhong Mingzhen turned and said, “Come home with me.”

His voice was still calm. Liang Yin raised her head hearing that.

Looking at her, Zhong Mingzhen said, “Tomorrow is Grandma’s birthday, she is hoping you can go back.”

Liang Yin’s gaze wavered and she quickly lowered her head again.

She knew it was Grandma’s birthday tomorrow, but she hadn’t thought about going back.

Grandma has been very kind to her over the years, treating her like a granddaughter and showing even more care after her maternal grandma’s death. After returning to the country last month and knowing they were divorced, she even called several times to ask. But she and Zhong Mingzhen have already divorced, thus she doesn’t know how to face this.

Zhong Mingzhen said she could go visit frequently, but how could she just go back as said. Zhong Mingzhen has Qiao Shan now, and the Zhong family will have a new mistress too.

“Grandma has always doted on you. She is getting old and has no family anymore.” Zhong Mingzhen added.

Liang Yin felt sad hearing this. Married into the Zhong family, Grandma doesn’t have any son and only a few relatives while her friends have mostly aged or passed away. She isn’t one who likes to be ostentatious, thus she only spends her birthday with them every year.”

“Get in the car.” Zhong Mingzhen opened his mouth again.

The chauffeur had already opened the car door. Seeing that, Liang Yin could only get in the car. Looking back at Xiao Tian, Zhong Mingzhen had taken the car keys from the chauffeur and got into the driver’s seat.

The chauffeur walked to the front of Xiao Tian’s car and spoke a few words, then took the car keys from her hand. Xiao Tian, however, looked to the side with hints of misgivings in her eyes.

By the roadside, there was an unfamiliar car.

A moment later, Liang Yin received a text message from Xiao Tian.

__ “Sister Yin, there is something I want to tell you. I think I saw someone secretly taking your photo just now.”

Looking at it, Liang Yin’s heart skipped half a beat.

Xiao Tian sent another message again, “At first, I noticed a strange man standing by the side in the cemetery with a camera in his hand. I wasn’t sure at that time. He had turned away and left when I saw him. But I saw him again in the parking lot just now. He was sitting in the car next to me. I don’t know if he is a reporter, but I don’t feel good about it and just wanted to tell you.”

If it was really a reporter, it was already too late for her to speak about it now, but she just wanted to make up for it.

Liang Yin felt a little panic. It didn’t matter that she was photographed, but Zhong Mingzhen was also there just now. The Zhong family has always kept a low profile and never been in the limelight. She doesn’t know what would happen if they were really caught on camera.

She wouldn’t have attracted so much attention before, but the news of the ‘abandoned rich wife’ had been staged only yesterday..

Pondering it for a while, she couldn’t help looking up and said, “Mingzhen, someone might have photographed us just now.”

Zhong Mingzhen was answering a call. Hearing her say so, the hand on the steering wheel paused momentarily, but he soon just replied indifferently, “It’s okay.”

After saying that, he started conversing with the person on the phone again.

""

Liang Yin was still a little worried. Checking Weibo, there was not the slightest news.

Inadvertently, she saw Zhou Jianchen’s Weibo again. He updated a new post in the morning.

It was a forwarded comment.

Zhou Jianchen: Awaiting the good news. // Little Maruko: So looking forward to the release of this movie soon ah!

A typical comment with a standard reply that everyone envious and jealous without other reasoning. Looking at the four words of his reply, Liang Yin fell silent at once.

Awaiting the good news.

Awaiting the good news.

He just wanted to tell her that he was awaiting the good news.

Liang Yin felt somewhat complicated in an instant. Switching off Weibo, she gripped the cellphone tightly, not daring to look at it again.

In the driver’s seat, Zhong Mingzhen was still on the phone.

__ En.

__ I know.

__ I will take care of it.

The other end seemed to say a lot, which he only responded briefly and hung up soon.

Continuing driving, his eyes were calm all along without any fluctuation.

**********

The phone call was from Zhong Jianian, who finally got through after calling him the whole day.

He asked someone to handle when Liang Yin’s news was exposed. Feeling furious, he started calling him wanting to scold him, but his cellphone was turned off from morning to night.

He called again just now and finally got through. The first question was whether he was back in the country, then he started asking if he knew what happened to Yinyin. He chastised that he divorced Yinyin because of another woman which eventually got her into such circumstances. He listened to all his scolding and only told him: I will take care of it.

He will take care of it. Merely a brief sentence which Zhong Jianian heard without more words.

He is not someone who speaks casually. Saying that he would handle it meant he would really handle it.
