After listening to Shumiao's words, Qin Shumiao also came to terms with it and was no longer so conflicted.

She knew that there was no possibility between her and Lin Guodong, but no one can predict life, and she had to become excellent in order to change her fate.

"Lin Guodong, I have something to tell you," Qin Shumiao went to Lin Guodong, ready to make things clear.

Lin Guodong was also surprised to see Qin Shumiao. He knew that what Liang Tiantian had said back then had caused her a lot of gossip.

Since that day, she hasn't left the house except to go to work. I wanted to apologize, but I decided not to go. It's better this way to avoid her overthinking.

"What's wrong, Qin Shumiao? I want to apologize to you for what happened last time. Although I didn't say it, you were still affected quite a bit," Lin Guodong said apologetically.

"What happened last time is in the past. I'm not talking about that."

Lin Guodong was also puzzled. If it wasn't this matter, then what was it?

Seeing his confusion, Qin Shumiao said naturally, "I like you very much, and I feel you know that, but there is a big gap between us. You will have to go back to the city in the future, so there is no possibility for us."

Lin Guodong nodded, which was considered his tacit agreement, but he still wanted to hear what she had to say.

"I like you, but I don't plan to bother you, and I don't plan to get married again."

Lin Guodong was also surprised when he heard this, feeling as if he hadn't heard it clearly and wondered if he had misheard.

"I don't want to cause you trouble because of what I like, but I will work hard and become better."

“It’s this kind of sapling. I know you like me, but I can’t let your feelings make me heartless.”

"Think about it, if I were with you now, and one day we were notified that we had to go back to the city, would I go back to the city or stay here?"

“If I leave, how will you live with all this gossip? If I don’t go back, I’ll also suffer a lot. It’s a difficult choice.”

"You are hardworking and have a very straightforward personality. You are a good girl, but precisely because of this, I don't want to let you down."

Lin Guodong's words to her were also his true feelings. Many things are destined to have no outcome, so it's better not to have any interaction in the first place.

"I know, but whether I get married or not is my business. But if one day I can go to the city, I will definitely work hard, I will become excellent, and I will let you see me."

"I'm leaving, and I won't bother you again."

Lin Guodong was silent for a moment. Being loved so passionately by someone is something everyone should be proud of.

But at this moment, he felt more shock and heartache. No one knew what the future held, but she dared to make such a decision.

He wasn't made of wood; it was impossible for him to remain unmoved. But who could predict what would happen in the future? No one dared to make a hasty decision.

Lin Guodong was also deeply moved by Qin Shumiao's affection; it's touching when someone holds you in their heart so dearly.

He knew that Qin Shumiao would face a lot of gossip and slander after doing this, but she still did it without hesitation.

I feel unworthy of her now, because not everyone has the courage and strength to take responsibility for their decisions, and even I can't do it.

What Lin Guodong doesn't know is that Qin Shumiao's image has also appeared in his mind because of this incident.
