Munni's words inadvertently revealed her dislike for Yu Ge.
Munni knew that the reason Xu Yisen and Yu Ge didn't end up together was because Mrs. Xu interfered, forcing them apart.
As for Xu Yisen marrying her, it was just because Bai Wan Yun kept pushing him to get married. He found dating troublesome, so he set his sights on Munni, who he knew well and liked.
Because Munni knew Xu Yisen liked Yu Ge, her first thought when Xu Yisen mentioned Bai Wan Yun wanting a daughter-in-law was that Yisen wanted to rekindle his old flame with Yu Ge.
"What if the one I want to marry is you, not Yu Ge?"
Yisen's voice was like the graceful melody played by a violinist, unexpectedly touching Munni's heartstrings within the car.
The winter sky darkened faster than in summer; by six o'clock, dusk had already fallen.
When Munni glanced sideways at Xu Yisen, his face flickered under the passing streetlights, making it difficult for Munni to discern whether he was serious or joking.
She slowly withdrew her gaze from him and turned to look at the fleeting scenery outside the window, absentmindedly asking, "Yisen, are you planning to use me once again to appease your mom?"
Suddenly, Munni felt a chilling sense of desolation and found Yisen's words to be somewhat cruel.
A trace of pity for herself, who deeply loved him, surged up inside her, ultimately expanding into intense grief.
"Yisen, it's been three months since the divorce, and you've never asked why someone who liked you so much suddenly decided to divorce you.
You never asked because you never liked me, let alone cared about me.
You've always liked Yu Ge, and marrying me was just to appease your mom who kept urging you to get married.
We pretended to be a loving couple in public while you were cold and distant to me like a stranger in private.
Yisen, I really... I've really had enough!
On the day we divorced, you said that you've been unfair to me all these years. Indeed, it was very unfair, so I firmly decided to divorce after figuring it out.
I'm telling you this in the hope that you won't joke about marrying me or wanting to remarry. It makes me feel pathetically small."
Munni persisted in revealing her heartfelt voice, and as she spoke to the end, her voice continuously trembled, her throat ached unbearably, and her eyes became moist, blurring her vision with tears.
She clenched her hands into fists on her lap, trying to distract herself with the pain in her palms so that the tears wouldn't embarrassingly flow from her eyes.
The car suddenly braked to a stop in front of a luxurious villa. Xu Yisen glanced sideways at Munni, who stubbornly turned her back on him, staring out the window, making him inexplicably flustered.
As Xu Yisen opened his mouth to speak, Munni hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and quickly got out, then closed the door, isolating Xu Yisen inside the car.
The cold moonlight poured down like water, cascading over her seemingly strong silhouette, leaving Yisen inexplicably at a loss for words.
He hastily unbuckled his seatbelt to get out, but by then Munni had already walked quickly into the villa.
Uncle Zhang, the steward, saw Yisen's car parked at the entrance through the surveillance system, then opened the door to personally greet Munni and Xu Yisen.
