No Cilantro: [Photo]

No Cilantro: I ran into Brother Long too.

OnlyLoveNoCilantro @No Cilantro: Holy crap, who is the woman next to Brother Long?

OnlyLoveNoCilantro: Did Tang Manman grow up to look like this?

No Cilantro @OnlyLoveNoCilantro: Are you blind?

No Cilantro: You can tell at a glance that it's not Tang Manman.

No Cilantro: Also, I told you to change your name and this is what you change it to?

No Cilantro: Just wait until I get back. ()

Fried Chicken Salad Rice @No Cilantro: Wait.

Fried Chicken Salad Rice: Ignore him for now, what on earth is going on?

No Cilantro: I don't know, I ran into them at the botanical garden in Y City.

Jiu Li: Holy crap!

Jiu Li: Brother Long is two-timing!

Little T @Jiu Li: Can you stop talking nonsense?

Little T: Maybe they are just siblings?

Jiu Li @Little T: ?

Jiu Li: Take a good look.

Jiu Li: What kind of brother and sister hold hands with their fingers intertwined?

Little T: ...

Little T: You have a point.

Little Sheep Baa Baa @Jiu Li: I think you really shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Jiu Li: ?

Little Sheep Baa Baa: How do you know Brother Long is just two-timing?

Little Sheep Baa Baa: Maybe he hasn't even broken up with that girlfriend of his who had the great figure.

Jiu Li: ...

Jiu Li: That makes so much sense, I actually can't argue with that...

Thanks to this intimate photo of the two holding hands, the group chat became unusually lively.

All the ancient lurkers and long-time ghosts popped up, eagerly gathering to enjoy the gossip.

Only one ID, usually quite active, fell completely silent, not making a single peep for a long time...

...

Tao Yaoyao knelt on the floor, quietly cleaning up the scattered mess.

Early this morning, Xu Mingyao threw another massive tantrum right after waking up, smashing a lot of things, including her own phone.

Through the badly cracked phone screen, Tao Yaoyao saw the reason for Xu Mingyao's anger.

The woman she yearned for day and night, the one she worshipped as a goddess in her heart.

On the phone screen, she looked completely different.

She was still breathtakingly beautiful, but her face completely lacked the usual coldness she showed the world.

She was kneeling on a black carpet, her gorgeous black evening gown in complete disarray, revealing more than half of her bare shoulders.

The soft curves of her chest were half-hidden and half-exposed, incredibly alluring.

The photo was taken from a top-down perspective.

A simple glance was enough to tell that Qingmo was kneeling in front of the person taking the picture.

That person was pinching her chin with one hand, forcing her to lift her flushed face and look at him.

Look at the camera lens held in his other hand...

...

Tao Yaoyao knew how much Xu Mingyao liked her.

And she understood her fierce rage.

But...

Tao Yaoyao let out a silent, soft sigh in her heart.

With things like this, what she wanted to say would have to be delayed for a long time again.

Tao Yaoyao had been following Xu Mingyao since their second year of middle school.

As someone whom Xu Mingyao kept by her side almost constantly, she naturally received the most favor and affection from her.

However, compared to people like Ye You and Wang Yanyan, Tao Yaoyao hadn't accumulated any astonishing wealth.

The reason was simple.

Because Xu Mingyao rarely gave her cash; she only gave Tao Yaoyao one thing: a gold card with an astoundingly high credit limit.

To this day, Tao Yaoyao still didn't know what the maximum limit of that gold card was.

She had never been a big spender. If it weren't for Xu Mingyao's demands that she must buy luxury items so as not to embarrass her, Tao Yaoyao wouldn't even spend six thousand yuan a month.

But as all the Xu family's assets were frozen, everything vanished with the wind, and that gold card became a useless piece of plastic.

Still, after so many years, through some unspeakable games, various gifts, and money transfers.

More or less, Tao Yaoyao had managed to save up some money.

Last night, Tao Yaoyao secretly did the math. If she sold all her jewelry and luxury goods, she could scrape together around three million yuan.

Over three million.

To an ordinary person, this was already an incredibly immense fortune.

But for the current Tao Yaoyao, it felt a bit inadequate.

Although this sum seemed like a lot, if she factored in her plan to buy a decent apartment as a place to settle down, the money didn't seem so abundant anymore.

Housing prices weren't as high as they had been a few years ago.

But a premium apartment in a good location still required a considerable expense.

Tao Yaoyao herself would actually be fine with anything.

Let alone buying a house, even if she had to squeeze into a cheap apartment building with a monthly rent of eight hundred, she could still live perfectly well.

But Xu Mingyao couldn't.

She had been pampered since childhood.

Having her live in a regular apartment building from now on was already a grievance to her, let alone an ordinary or even shabby room.

Tao Yaoyao had also considered just renting a place forever.

But that wasn't a long-term solution after all.

Only by having a little nest of their own would they have a fallback for whatever happened.

Moreover, it wasn't just about planning for the future; just the current expense of staying in a hotel was becoming too much for Tao Yaoyao to bear.

At the time, in order to soothe Xu Mingyao's emotions and prevent her from shutting down because she couldn't immediately accept the massive drop in her standard of living.

Tao Yaoyao had specifically chosen this hotel, which was considered top-tier in S City and even globally.

It was precisely so Xu Mingyao could stabilize her emotions in peace and slowly accept reality.

The accommodation fees here were extremely high; just one day and night cost over twenty thousand yuan.

Tao Yaoyao had originally planned to stay with Xu Mingyao for a period of time.

Once her emotions stabilized, she would tell her the truth, then take her away from this terrifyingly expensive hotel to buy a house, or rent a place to settle down for the time being.

But Lin Yu's continuous provocations made Xu Mingyao's already unstable emotions even more volatile.

How could Tao Yaoyao dare to bring up changing hotels with her now?

She could only postpone the matter once again.

And silently pray in her heart.

Pray that Lin Yu wouldn't provoke Xu Mingyao like this anymore...

...

After cleaning up the mess on the floor, Tao Yaoyao looked at the damaged items, her mood growing even heavier.

She didn't know how much extra money they would have to compensate the hotel when it was time to check out.

Hopefully, it wouldn't be too much.

Oh, right.

Before leaving, Tao Yaoyao suddenly remembered something.

She returned to the room and, while Xu Mingyao was still asleep, secretly took her phone to go to the mobile shop downstairs to replace the screen for her...
