In the evening, An Xiaonuan originally wanted to return to her attic. As the elevator doors closed, a hand grabbed the elevator door, it opened, and Huangfu Ye walked in.

An Xiaonuan glanced at him and then silently lowered her head, stepping back to stand there. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Let’s go home together," Huangfu Ye said.

"I want to go back tonight..." An Xiaonuan hesitated to speak.

"Home!" Huangfu Ye insisted.

An Xiaonuan, "..."

Huangfu Ye drove the car, and neither of them spoke along the way. Huangfu Ye furrowed his brows, wanting to say something several times but stopped. He actually wanted to tell her that he regretted it. He shouldn’t have tested her love for him in this way.

Until the car stopped in the garage, An Xiaonuan came back to her senses, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, suddenly remembering she hadn’t bought groceries, but thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Even if she bought them, what difference would it make?

In a few days, he would still leave her to look for excitement outside. She was just a change of flavor for him every now and then.

There was a private elevator in the garage, and the two of them took the elevator together to the apartment.

After entering, An Xiaonuan went to the bedroom, and Huangfu Ye sat down in the living room.

He waited for a long time without seeing An Xiaonuan come out. Huangfu Ye looked back towards the kitchen; usually, when he came home, she was in the kitchen cooking.

Because he would come home an hour later than her, she would precisely time preparing dinner every day to ensure that when he got home, dinner could be served.

Every day, she ensured he could eat a hot meal...

Huangfu Ye really wished he could punch himself—why hadn’t he noticed these things before, waiting until he lost them to understand the preciousness of these plain details?

How could he be so foolish? After each thrill, what he gained was double the emptiness.

Thankfully, it’s not too late that he now knows... she is still here; he will properly apologize and beg her for forgiveness.

Huangfu Ye didn’t know that he thought it wasn’t too late, but it was actually already too late.

An Xiaonuan bathed and went to sleep once she returned to the room; at the moment, she didn’t want to do anything. She was thinking about how to leave; she admitted she loved him deeply, but her love wasn’t without limits.

Huangfu Ye waited long for An Xiaonuan to come out, then went to the bedroom himself, seeing her already lying down, he walked over and asked, "You haven’t had dinner, why are you going to bed so early?"

"I rarely ate dinner before. After being with you, I changed this habit. After work, the first thing was to buy groceries, go home, cook, and wait for you to come back... Now it seems, it wasn’t necessary at all." An Xiaonuan responded lightly.

"I’m sorry... I know I’m wrong, could you forgive me this one time? I swear, this won’t happen again." Huangfu Ye raised his hand.

"Huangfu Ye, perhaps we truly aren’t suitable for each other. The difference in our living environments is too great; you grew up as a high and mighty Crown Prince, while I was just a little orphan girl abandoned by family and raised in an orphanage. You’re naturally proud; I’m inherently self-abased... your life is constant thrill-seeking, but I... just want to find an ordinary man and live the simplest life. Three meals a day don’t need to be extravagant, just enough to be satisfied, the house doesn’t need to be too big, just cozy."

An Xiaonuan’s voice was very calm, but this calmness made Huangfu Ye feel uneasy.

"There’s no such thing as incompatible people, only people who don’t love enough."
