It has been raining these past few days.
Tang Xi sat on the balcony, holding Zhouzhou and watching the raindrops fall on the window.
Fu Tingzhou was coming back today. He called the home landline in the morning, saying he would be on the afternoon high-speed train.
But Tang Xi's mind was preoccupied with Xu Rongchen's words.
Xu Rongchen promised her to help her leave.
In Xu Rongchen's eyes, she was just a woman who hindered Fu Tingzhou's career ambitions, a burden by Fu Tingzhou's side. But Fu Tingzhou was different; he was Xu Rongchen's business partner, a friend, someone tied to mutual interests.
Xu Rongchen had no grounds to refuse, and Tang Xi figured this out too, which is why she sought Xu Rongchen's help.
They were looking for the right moment.
Tang Xi was finally going to escape this cage and gain the freedom she desired. She couldn't quite describe the emotions in her heart; it was joy, it was relief, perhaps.
In the evening, Fu Tingzhou did not return.
