The powerlessness shown by cc in this incident made me feel even more panicked. I lit a cigarette for myself in a panic, but I was no longer willing to leave the restaurant and return to the old house.

The phone suddenly rang at this time. I subconsciously looked at the caller ID, but found that it was Mi Cai who called me. She finally replied to my phone, but my mood had changed drastically. So I looked at the lit mobile phone screen and was reluctant to answer it for a long time. I felt that I could not face her. If I was really involved in the whirlpool of Le Yao in the entertainment industry, it would also hurt Mi Cai's public image. Although she is not a person in the entertainment industry, she is also the chairman of a group.

cc asked me: "Is it Micai's phone number?"

I nodded.

"Come on, you always have to face it."

I took a deep breath of cigarette, made my heart aside, and finally answered the phone, but I couldn't say hello to her or joked about it as usual, just silent.

Mi Cai said to me a little apologized: "I have been talking to the person in charge of Nanjing just now. I still remember the matter of going to Xuzhou tomorrow morning. I will go home to rest now."

I was silent again: "...... Be careful when driving on the road."

"Well, what midnight snack do you want? I'll take it back for you."

"No."

......

I ended the call with Mi Cai. Although she was busy with work and didn't know the news that broke today, I didn't feel relaxed at all. My chest seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, and my breathing was full of panic and uneasiness.

cc asked me: "Don't Micai know about this now?"

"Well...but I can't tell her this. It feels like I've ruined this relationship with all my own hands!"

"Then are you going to just drag it like this? Then when she finds out one day, she will come to you and question you with an out of control?"

I didn't say anything, but I was fighting fiercely in my heart...

"Go back, go back and tell Mi Cai truthfully what happened to you and Le Yao. After all, it is something that happened before. Be honest and may have a chance to seek her understanding."

I didn't hear it very clearly, but I remembered Le Yao again. If she had been pregnant with my child at the time, wouldn't I have let her down completely, even more beastly than beast!

On this at a loss night, I wish there would be a city without panic and no worries... I could see my life brightly at first glance, and there would be no more hidden dangers...

......

Mi Cai and I returned to the old house almost at the same time. I got out of the taxi. After she parked the car, she met at the entrance of the corridor. She asked me with some surprise: "Why are you only coming back now?"

I replied in a not-so-smooth tone: "That... I had a few drinks with Robben in the restaurant, and then... it was...."

"Oh." Mi Cai responded, then grabbed my hand and walked upstairs along the stairs. The action of holding hands was a habit we had only formed a few days ago.

In front of the mailbox outside the door, Mi Cai stopped. I knew she was going to get the latest issue of the financial magazine. I stood beside her and waited. She closed the mailbox, but took an extra envelope in her hand and asked me: "Zhaoyang, is this yours?"

My spirit was very distracted and I replied, "No."

Mi Cai looked at the envelope in confusion, and then I felt a strong sense of uneasiness. The envelope appeared in such a coincidence that there must be a secret that could ruin me.

I wanted to get the envelope back from Mi Cai, but finally gave up. If this incident was really man-made behind the scenes, then there would definitely be more than this envelope. Perhaps Mi Cai's office will receive one in the same morning, and Mi Cai will eventually know all of this.

When I returned to the house, I sat on the sofa. Mi Cai placed the stack of financial magazines on the coffee table, then picked up the envelope and looked at it again, and then tore open the seal. At this moment, I felt like a lamb placed on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

Mi Cai took out a stack of photos from the envelope and a piece of A4 paper, and there was a vaguely visible text from a row of machines.

Mi Cai's brows gradually frowned, then put down the things in her hand, and then looked at me with a cold look...

I picked up the A4 paper and looked at it. It turned out to be all the records of my booking outside more than a year ago, as well as photos of me mingling with some women in the nightclub. Among them, I was with Le Yao the most. A few months ago, I went to Beijing and carried Le Yao out of my apartment in the middle of the night to see a doctor. The surveillance screenshot of me...

"Zhaoyang, what should I say at this time? Or would you explain something to me?"

I pondered for a while, and said to Mi Cai with a dead heart: "I have nothing to explain. These records of booking are true. Once... my private life was very chaotic!"

Mi Cai tried her best to restrain herself, but her body was trembling slightly. My answer hit her most fragile nerve, and finally asked me with tears in my eyes: "Is it true that Le Yao has been pregnant for you?"

"We have had relationships, and the children may be mine, I'm not sure... but those are things that happened before. I've said goodbye to such a life for a long time..."

“It doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.”

"But you should know that I had an inconspicuous past before."

Mi Cai shook her head in pain: "Zhaoyang, when these appear in front of me in such a conclusive way of evidence, I have no way to face it, let alone accept it!"

"Please forgive my past, okay? ... These are people with ulterior motives who do it to ruin our togetherness, and you won't know."

"If... if you are innocent and clean, and others can't do these things, I really can't accept it, really doesn't... If someone now takes a photo to tell you that I once had a very chaotic past in the United States, and I was pregnant with another man, Zhaoyang, can you accept it? Even if this is my past..."

"You have never done this, you are still pure!"

"But you did..."

Looking at Mi Cai's appearance, I knew that she was really in pain this time. These injuries were brought to her by my past. I suddenly felt extremely disgusted by myself, but I could no longer change anything. It was me who personally brought our love to nowhere... My heart was twitching in the pain, but I... still didn't want to let go!

......

Late at night, Mi Cai had already left, and only I was smoking alone in the old house. Looking at the empty room, I suddenly didn't know how I should continue tomorrow...
