Although they haven't officially broken up yet, in the following period of time, Tong Mengdi indeed began to cut off her life with Hu Mingkai. She wouldn't, like before, always choose to work overtime or even go on business trips to avoid Hu Mingkai. Instead, she would get off work on time every day. Sometimes she would be with Liu Lian, and more often, she would be with He Yao. And although they were in a cold war, Hu Mingkai still cared about Tong Mengdi. He would still ask Liu Lian about Tong Mengdi's affairs. Looking at Hu Mingkai's situation, Liu Lian thought that he still loved Tong Mengdi. As a mutual friend of the two, she still wanted to reconcile them. However, every time Liu Lian talked to Tong Mengdi about this, she would be coldly received by Tong Mengdi. Only then did Liu Lian realize that in Tong Mengdi's heart, she didn't care about Hu Mingkai at all.

Today, Tong Mengdi signed a big deal. Before Liu Lian got off work, Tong Mengdi said that she would treat her to dinner and a movie in the evening. Originally, Liu Lian suggested inviting Hu Mingkai, but her proposal was once again rejected by Tong Mengdi. The two found a small restaurant. Although Tong Mengdi was very happy, Liu Lian seemed quite dissatisfied. Seeing the look of her best friend, Tong Mengdi immediately made a joke.

"I'm treating you to dinner, and this is the expression you give me. Come on, can you at least show some enthusiasm?"

"It's not a good way for you and Hu Mingkai to keep this up. Can you stop being so willful? Is it really worth neglecting your boyfriend for another man?" Liu Lian asked.

Tong Mengdi said, "When did I neglect him? You know we're too busy with work. Maybe he's working again, so let's not bother him."

"Why have I never heard you say that you're afraid of bothering He Yao?"

"Liu Lian, can you stop picking a fight for no reason?" Tong Mengdi said, sounding annoyed.

"Am I wrong? If you really like He Yao in your heart, just go for it. No one will stop you. But don't hold Hu Mingkai back."

Tong Mengdi was actually in a good mood today, but after hearing Liu Lian's words, her face immediately changed. Because Tong Mengdi could tell that in Liu Lian's heart, she was seen as a woman who was always eyeing something else while having something in hand. In fact, over the years, regarding the relationship between herself and He Yao, whether it was facing Hu Mingkai or Liu Lian, Tong Mengdi had explained it countless times. But even so, she was still misunderstood by them, and Tong Mengdi really didn't know what else to say. If it could be somewhat understandable that Hu Mingkai, as a man and her boyfriend, was jealous, then it was really hard for Tong Mengdi to accept such words coming from Liu Lian, her best friend. So, today Tong Mengdi didn't hold back at all and directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Liu Lian, in your mind, does there have to be something going on when a man and a woman are together?"

"What kind of question is that? I'm doing this for your own good. I hope you can consider Hu Mingkai's feelings. After all, he is your boyfriend. Let me ask you, how many men can accept something like this? Hu Mingkai has been pretty good to you. You should be more content." Liu Lian advised.

"How am I not content? I only talk about work matters with He Yao when we're together. Why does it seem so sordid in your eyes?" Tong Mengdi asked.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"If it's about work, talk about it in the company. Why do it privately? You even go to his department's gatherings. Is that considered work?"

"I can't explain it to you. Liu Lian, you're my friend. So, can you not just listen to everything Hu Mingkai says? Can you consider my feelings?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"Thank you, okay?"

The two sisters quarreled again. And although they didn't part ways immediately like before, they still had a rather gloomy meal. After the meal, because of her anger, Tong Mengdi didn't even send Liu Lian home. Instead, she found an excuse and left. Tong Mengdi didn't go home either. Instead, she went to Hu Mingkai's house. She sent Hu Mingkai a WeChat message, asking him to come downstairs and saying that she was waiting for him downstairs. Seeing that Tong Mengdi not only took the initiative to contact him but also came to see him, Hu Mingkai was very happy and immediately went downstairs. But when he came down, he found that Tong Mengdi's face was extremely gloomy. Just as Hu Mingkai was still wondering why Tong Mengdi came to see him so late, Tong Mengdi directly stated her purpose.

"Hu Mingkai, let's break up."

"Coming to my place in the middle of the night and joking about this with me. Isn't that a bit too boring?" Hu Mingkai said in a joking tone.

Tong Mengdi said, "I'm not joking with you. I'm serious, and I've thought it through carefully."

"Why? You have to give me a reason at least," Hu Mingkai asked.

"I can't stand your endless suspicion anymore. Just because of you, even Liu Lian had a quarrel with me. Do you know that in all these years we've been together, we've never had a conflict before. Now you not only want to control my love life but also my friendship. Don't you think you're being too selfish?"

"I control your friendship and love? Your friendship is with Liu Lian, so whose love are you talking about? He Yao's?"

"Hu Mingkai, is this really necessary? You're a grown man, but you have such a narrow mind. Is that all the tolerance you have?"

"Why do I have a narrow mind? It's because you don't care about me at all and because He Yao is all you think about in your heart."

"Can you say something else? Anyway, I've made it very clear to you. I hope we can still be friends in the future."

"I won't accept it."

"Do as you like."

After saying this, Tong Mengdi immediately drove away. Maybe because she was feeling a bit depressed, Tong Mengdi drove to He Yao's house and rang the doorbell. He Yao saw through the peephole that it was Tong Mengdi and was stunned for a moment before opening the door. Tong Mengdi walked in and sat on the sofa. Seeing the beer that He Yao had placed on the coffee table, she immediately picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Just as He Yao was still wondering what was wrong with Tong Mengdi today, she spoke up.

"He Yao, don't worry. From today on, he won't give you any more trouble."

"What do you mean? What happened between you two?" He Yao asked curiously.

Tong Mengdi said expressionlessly, "It's nothing. I broke up with him."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be so full of yourself. It has nothing to do with you," Tong Mengdi said.

"But you've had such a long relationship. It's such a pity to break up like this!"

"If he really valued our relationship of so many years in his heart, he wouldn't have been doubting me all day long."

"But..."

"Enough. I've made up my mind."

Maybe because she really couldn't stand Hu Mingkai's endless suspicion anymore, Tong Mengdi decided to break up with him. Although Tong Mengdi no longer wanted to be entangled with Hu Mingkai, Hu Mingkai was unlikely to accept the breakup easily. So, he began to try to win her back. But this time, Tong Mengdi had already made up her mind and was determined to break up no matter what. Looking at Tong Mengdi's firm attitude, Hu Mingkai thought that all this was influenced by He Yao. As a result, another conflict occurred between the two men. And Tong Mengdi became even more disgusted with his behavior. Thus...
