Chapter 267 Gradually Dimming

Jiang Xiaoling, growing impatient from being shaken, frowned and looked at him: "This is my honest opinion. I hope you two get married and stop bothering me."

"But you know perfectly well that I love you!"

These words echoed for a long time in the silent night sky.

Jiang Xiaoling fell completely silent, her body as if bound by shackles, unable to move for a long time.

The person I love is you.

What a beautiful sentence, but Jiang Xiaoling doesn't deserve it.

She chuckled softly, a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Why bother lying to yourself? We're not a good match."

Xu Yi also became anxious, and asked with red eyes, "Why is it not suitable? As long as you love me and I love you, that's enough."

Jiang Xiaoling couldn't hold back her tears; her eyes welled up with tears as she suppressed her emotions.

She forced a fake smile at him: "Haven't you noticed? The two of us are like heaven and hell, one in heaven and the other in hell. How can we be compatible?"

She paused, then added, "And, I don't love you..."

Xu Yi gradually released Jiang Xiaoling's hand, and he laughed sarcastically, the sound piercing the night sky and echoing endlessly.

He took a few steps back and roared, "Why don't you love me? So many women in the world like me, why don't you?"

Jiang Xiaoling could no longer hold back her tears. She blinked, and the tears almost burst out.

She practically shouted, "Because you are the high and mighty young master of the Xu family, you can be surrounded by many beautiful women, but I am just an ordinary working woman, I can only rely on myself!"

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't speak, she continued to roar: "You can rely on everything your father gave you to be powerful and influential, but I can't. I need to work hard to survive in this dog-eat-dog world!"

Xu Yi asked, as if mocking himself, "Why?"

The sound was very soft, and because it was some distance away from Jiang Xiaoling, she didn't hear it.

Jiang Xiaoling was now in tears, her long-suppressed emotions reaching their peak.

She practically yelled, "The gap between us is too big. Your superior attitude makes me feel insecure. If you decide to date any woman, I can only watch your back from behind. This kind of drastic difference is not what I want."

All she wanted was a home, a man who could give her warmth and a peaceful, stable life, not a playboy like Xu Yi. She couldn't afford to gamble; she couldn't invest too much emotion in an unrealistic man.

Putting all that aside, Jiang Xiaoling knew that Xu Haicang would definitely not accept her. He could only accept girls like Liu Yunqi, girls who could bring him unlimited benefits, not someone as useless as her.

So, Xu Yi, I'm sorry.

This time, she has to reopen these wounds.

This farce won't end until both sides are covered in blood.

This is also the best way to end Xu Yi's unrealistic ideas about her.

Jiang Xiaoling didn't know how she got back that night. Xu Yi stood there in a daze, and she took the opportunity to quickly escape from there. She knew that this man was dangerous, and getting even a little closer could leave her covered in wounds.

Because it was so late, and there were no taxis around, thankfully the neon lights on the street were bright enough to illuminate the road ahead.

But no matter how bright the lights were, her heart began to gradually approach darkness from that moment on, all because of Xu Yi.
