Chapter 598 I've Let You Down

"Lan Yu, I'm no longer good enough for you. Let's break up!"

Zhou Zhenxing repeated it without hesitation.

Zhuo Lanyu began to tremble violently. Although she knew why he had such thoughts, she still couldn't accept it when he said it himself.

"Brother Zhou, you don't want to be a burden to me, but what I fear most is losing you. Besides, this is just a temporary setback; you'll definitely make a comeback in the future!"

Zhou Zhenxing shook his head with a bitter smile, "There is no future. Someone like me doesn't deserve a future."

"Of course I am! You have me, I will help you!" Zhuo Lanyu promised excitedly.

Zhou Zhenxing's expression grew even more grim. "I don't need anyone's help. In my current state, your father won't agree to us being together."

"If that's what you care about, then there's no need for that at all. If they don't agree to me marrying you, I'll cut ties with them!" Zhuo Lanyu's face was full of determination, clearly showing that she had made up her mind to marry no one but him.

"How could I possibly let you sever ties with your parents because of me? My life is already a mess, I can't drag anyone else down with me. Maybe we were never meant to be, and it's time to end it."

Zhou Zhenxing's words conveyed the same unwavering determination.

Zhuo Lanyu was almost suffocating. "What do you mean by 'destined to be together but not meant to be'? We can get married right now!"

They've overcome so many difficulties since they started dating, and now that there are no obstacles left, he's actually considering backing out, but she won't allow it!

"Brother Zhou, have you forgotten your promise to me that we'd go public with our relationship after the exercise? I don't care if you're a company commander or a regular private; I just love you for who you are!"

She wanted nothing more than to rip her heart out and show it to him!

But only Zhou Zhenxing himself knew that even if the events of the exercise hadn't occurred, they might not have been able to disclose it publicly.

Because he had already begun to waver in this relationship.

Especially after returning to his hometown this time, he learned a lot of things and realized just how wrong he had been.

It's time to end this wrong relationship.

"But Lanyu, there's something wrong with my heart. I can't stay with you anymore."

He knew how cruel those words were to Zhuo Lanyu, and he knew he was a bastard, but the moment he actually said them, he felt a strange sense of relief deep inside.

"What did you say?!!"

Zhuo Lanyu's brain was completely incapable of thinking normally, and all the color drained from her face as she stared intently at his face.

Zhou Zhenxing managed to utter, "I'm sorry. I've let you down."

The next second, Zhuo Lanyu completely lost control of her emotions. She grabbed his shoulders with all her might and questioned him in a hoarse voice, "Zhou Zhenxing, do you know what you're saying? Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'having a problem with your heart'? Have you forgotten how you confessed to me? Have you forgotten how you swore to my father? Have you forgotten how we made vows of eternal love?"

Her out-of-control screams even alerted the guards outside, and the door to the solitary confinement cell was quickly opened, with Liu Wengao rushing in as fast as he could.

When he saw Zhuo Lanyu, who was emotionally distraught, and Zhou Zhenxing, who was sitting on the bed without saying a word, he was also startled and had no idea what had happened.
