Chapter 15 No More
For the entire next month, I didn’t contact Mu Jinci.
She couldn’t reach me even if she wanted to.
Then one day I went to a class reunion.
As I was leaving, Mu Jinci blocked my path.
“You blocked me, moved house, cut off all contact—Su Yueming, what exactly are you trying to do?”
She looked tired.
“You’ve had your tantrum. Come home. I won’t even make you apologize anymore, okay?”
Won’t make me apologize?
I almost laughed.
“Mu Jinci, you really think too highly of yourself.”
“What do you mean?”
She raised her hand instinctively.
I caught her wrist and pushed it away.
“You’re like Clingy Like A Sticky Plaster I can’t get rid of. And now you want to get physical? Mu Jinci, what the hell are you?”
“What did you just say?! I’m your wife!”
“Ex-wife.”
My voice was sharp.
She froze, lips trembling, speechless.
After a long moment, her tone softened into something almost pleading.
“Do we really have to be this cold? We were married five years. Everything was fine. You suddenly want divorce, want to cut me out completely—what were those five years, then?”
“Bad luck on my part.”
“…”
She opened her mouth, closed it again.
I looked straight at her. She saw it clearly—disgust, contempt.
The first time since I stopped pretending.
She tried to speak, but nothing came out.
“Mu Jinci, stop bothering me. I’m tired.”
She frowned, no sign of self-reflection, just confusion and blame.
“Su Yueming, I really don’t understand what’s going on in your head. Calm down, stop this nonsense, okay?”
Nonsense.
So everything I’d done—every boundary I’d set—was just a little fit of temper in her eyes.
I had no words.
Whatever I said would be wasted breath.
I walked off without another word.
