Afraid that Li Mei would be worried, it was definitely impossible to tell the truth. Tan Ming could only choose to avoid the main point. “I went out for a walk with my colleague tonight. My phone accidentally fell to the ground and broke. Now, I can only use the hotel’s landline to contact you.”

When Li Mei heard that Tan Ming’s tone was no different from usual, she did not suspect anything. She only reminded her, “It’s good that you’re fine. Get someone to accompany you to buy a phone tomorrow. If I can’t contact you, I feel uneasy.”

The corners of Tan Ming’s lips curled up slightly. “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll contact you immediately after I buy a phone tomorrow.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. Tan Ming blew her hair as she looked at the night scenery outside the window. She recalled that she actually had the courage to barge into the beach alone to save a person whom she didn’t even know was good or bad. She broke out in cold sweat.

Tan Ming shook her head and stopped thinking about this matter. In any case, she was going to return to China the day after tomorrow. She would treat tonight as an unexpected interlude on this work trip.

The next day’s filming went smoothly. After completing the filming as planned, they flew back to China on the morning of the third day.

Jiang Huai went to pick her up. As he was afraid of being recognized, he could only wait in the car in the parking lot.

From afar, Jiang Huai saw Tan Ming pushing a suitcase over. He hurriedly put on his hat, sunglasses, and mask. He did not even forget to cover his figure. He was wearing a loose coat to prevent some die-hard fans from recognizing him from his back. He looked in the mirror and double-checked his look again before pushing open the car door and getting out.

Tan Ming was still looking around, but when she saw Jiang Huai’s attire, she immediately identified her target and ran forward excitedly. “Brother!”

Jiang Huai quickly looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. He quickly went forward to take the luggage, put his arm around Tan Ming’s shoulder, and asked with a smile, “Did you have fun at Huanlang Island?”

Tan Ming nodded vigorously and shared happily, “This time, I’ve experienced many firsts. The first time I’ve been overseas, the first time I took a plane, and the first time I saw actual foreign architecture with my own eyes instead of on TV. I even ate foreign food!”

When Jiang Huai heard Tan Ming’s words, he felt a little sad. His younger sister, who should have been pampered since she was young, had only experienced so many firsts after 26 years. He raised his hand and touched Tan Ming’s head. He smiled and said gently, “There will be many more firsts in the future. Hurry up and get in the car. Mom was afraid that you wouldn’t eat well these two days, so she specially prepared a full table of dishes at home.”

Jiang Huai protected Tan Ming’s head as she got in to sit in the front passenger seat. He placed her luggage in the back seat and drove home.

The two of them walked out of the elevator. Jiang Huai received a call. Tan Ming lowered her head and opened her bag to look for the key.

“Tan Ming?!”

Tan Ming looked up and saw that the door of the Si residence next door was open. Si Cheng looked like he was about to go out.

Tan Ming frowned. In the past, when she was at home, Si Cheng would not come back for half a month. Now that there was no one at home, he came back to stay. There was really something wrong with his brain.

When Jiang Huai saw Si Cheng, he said a few words to the person on the other end of the line before hanging up. He shielded Tan Ming behind him, took off his sunglasses and mask, and looked at Si Cheng coldly.

When Si Cheng saw how intimate Jiang Huai and Tan Ming were, and looking at Tan Ming, he felt an indescribable surprise. It instantly turned into monstrous anger. He could not help but assume the worst again. “You two are living together?! What even is your actual relationship?”

“Tan Ming, don’t you have any shame! You even intentionally stayed next door to me. How dare you!”

Si Cheng felt that Tan Ming was humiliating him. She deliberately chose to live a wall away from him and cheat on him.

When Jiang Huai saw Si Cheng’s angry look, he took two steps forward and frowned tightly. “Check your own sh*t before you talk about others like that. You’re the one in the wrong, yet you want to accuse others first. Why didn’t you mention that you cheated on Tan Ming during the marriage?”

Si Cheng stared at Jiang Huai. “There’s no need to explain our relationship to an outsider like you. Get lost!”

Jiang Huai sneered in disdain. “If anyone should get lost, it’s you. I’m warning you, don’t think that Tan Ming is still the same person who can be bullied and won’t fight back. With me around, don’t even think about touching her!”

His wife was being protected by another man. Si Cheng looked at the two of them standing together and was so angry he could feel smoke rise from his head. “So this is the top celebrity in the entertainment industry, right? Then I’ll take a photo and post it online for your fans to see how blatant a top celebrity is as a homewrecker!”

“I actually want to see if you can still survive in the entertainment industry after your immoral and unethical side is exposed..”
