After My Divorce, I Got Back Together with My Ex-Boyfriend

After Qiao Tong's father went bankrupt, she arranged to meet Qi Xiuming at the place where they often used to go on dates.

“I can't be with you anymore. You understand, right?”

The boy across from her, normally so quiet and reserved, had tears in his eyes for the first time. After a long pause, he answered softly, accompanied by the afternoon cicadas: “Mm.”

“Then we're breaking up?”

That was the one question she never got an answer to.

Later, Qiao Tong went from a rich young lady who had never known hardship to a woman who had to carefully budget every penny just to get by.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Different lives call for different ways of living.

When they met again, the boy was still quiet and reserved. The difference was that his eyes no longer lingered on her. Qiao Tong was relieved. They had both found new beginnings in each other's worlds.

Until one day, the world she had worked so hard to build collapsed under betrayal. As she fled in panic, this man opened his arms to her without hesitation. His eyes held a love he had kept hidden for so long: You stepped forward, never knowing I had been trapped in the same place all along.

For Qi Xiuming, the past ten years had been spent observing propriety, living beyond the boundaries that person had set. But in the end, he couldn't stop himself from taking the hand he had longed for all this time. I love you. This time, my love comes from the heart.

Coming soon: "My Ex-Husband Lost His Memory and Wants to Get Back Together"

Tao Xihe woke up one morning with amnesia and a four-year-old daughter. The little girl never called him Dad, only “Big Bad Guy.” He heard that he had married her mother because she looked just like his first love, the woman he could never have. Now that his first love was coming back to the country, he had divorced his wife.

So, on the day his first love returned, Tao Xihe dressed to the nines and went to the airport to meet her. He took one look from a distance, then turned around and left without hesitation.

He was certain she wasn't the woman who haunted his dreams, the one whose touch would make his heart ache. He went to great lengths to find both his daughter's mother, who had been his first love's lookalike, and the real first love. On top of that, he had to play both father and mother to his little girl.

One day, he finally lost patience. “Why doesn't your mom come visit you?”

The little girl answered firmly, “Mom will come see me once I finish kindergarten!”

Tao Xihe scoffed. A ridiculous lie to placate a child. Only an idiot would believe it.

Later, he found a collection of treasured videotapes in the basement. They showed him and a woman entwined in passionate embraces. He watched himself call her name over and over while she slept.

“Nan Shu, Nan Shu, please love me, just a little.”

Each call was tender and desperate.

Tao Xihe went and woke his sleeping daughter. “When will you finish kindergarten?”

A ridiculous lie to placate a child. An idiot believed it.
