A few days later, Fang Zheng received a call from Ran.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, everything's over. Mrs. Yoshino... no, I should say Ms. Taniguchi sold her house and opened a flower shop and floral design company with her friends. She even sent me a postcard. She seems to be doing much better now!"

"I'll keep waiting for him."
"Hehehe, you two really are a loving married couple."
"Oh, honestly, Mr. Fang Zheng, don't tease me..."
"Well then, I wish you all the best. I still have work to do, so I'm hanging up."

"Mmph... mmph...!!"
