Li Xing’s lunch reservation was at a time-honored restaurant.

Li Xing carefully looked at Sheng Yusi as the three of them sat in the private room.

Wu Tong sat between Sheng Yusi and Li Xing. Upon seeing that Li Xing was gazing up at Sheng Yusi, Wu Tong gave a soft cough.

“Li Xing.”

“Has Mr. Sheng been single all the time?”

Li Xing gave a gentle smile and said, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I heard from Qingcang that you want to pursue Wu Tong. I’ve been married to Wu Tong for decades, so I know exactly what she’s like. I’m just surprised. Not only does Mr. Sheng come from a good family, but he is also both handsome and intelligent. How come you have never been married?”

Sheng Yusi smiled in embarrassment.

He was straightforward; he didn’t know how to beat around the bush.

When Li Xing asked him like that, Sheng Yusi thought that Li Xing was doing it for Wu Tong’s sake.

He explained honestly, “When I was young, I was obsessed with my research. I was already old when I came back to my senses. I felt that young and beautiful girls were superficial without knowing the full story. When I first saw Wu Tong, I felt like she was the only one for me! Only then did I understand why I was single for so long: it turned out that I was waiting for the perfect girl to appear.”

It was as if Li Xing had an arrow thrust into his heart.

It hurt. If the arrow was removed, blood would splatter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Xing was not as simple-minded as Sheng Yusi. He had a feeling that maybe Sheng Yusi was mocking him. It was as if he was saying, “Look at me. My heart aches for the woman you don’t cherish! Thank you for divorcing Wu Tong. If you never divorced, I would’ve never met her.”

“Mr. Li, I’m pursuing Wu Tong. Would you like to be our witness if Wu Tong agrees to marry me one day?”

Wu Tong stopped herself from smiling. She knew that Sheng Yusi was speaking from the bottom of his heart, but Li Xing didn’t think so.

Li Xing thought that he had been a disgrace.

“If such a day ever comes, I would be honored to be your witness.”

You wish! In your dreams! That will never happen until the day I died.

It was as if there was a burning fire in Li Xing’s heart. The raging flames seemed capable of burning him to ashes.

Sheng Yusi said, “Thank you, Mr. Li,”

Then he added sincerely, “Mr. Li, you’re a good ex-husband of the Empire.”

With how angry he was, Li Xing couldn’t hold his chopsticks still. He glanced at Wu Tong and saw that she was desperately holding back her smile. The fire in his heart burned even brighter!

Li Xing took out his phone and texted: “Wu Tong, are you blind? Why would you like in such a foolish man?”

Wu Tong glanced at the content on her phone and said, “Mr. Sheng is the cornerstone of our empire’s aerospace industry. Without him, our country’s aerospace industry would be behind by at least ten years.”

“It’s not that bad. The aerospace industry of the Empire is the result of the joint efforts of all astronauts. I’m just a small and insignificant member of the group. I’m not worth mentioning.”

Wu Tong said with a sweet smile, “Mr. Sheng, you are too modest. You shouldn’t be so modest.”

Sheng Yusi said earnestly and persistently, “I mean it. It is because of every astronaut’s efforts that our country’s aerospace industry has developed at such a rapid pace today.”
