Chapter 189 Kill Bai Yueguang and Tie Up the Devil's Heart (24)
Jingze's heart choked, and he was speechless. He curled his fingers and looked a little uncomfortable. "Why did you come back?"
"Mr. Jing is about to get his beauty, and I'll just be an eyesore if I stay there. It's only a matter of time before we separate anyway, so I'll make room earlier so you can get ready too." Li Ziyan didn't look at Jingze, but stood up, put some distance between himself and Jingze, stood by the window holding the milk cake, and tilted his head to look at the scene outside.
The slender, white neck was stretched into a slender arc, exposing the most vulnerable part to Jingze. This made him look a bit weaker, which made Jingze jealous.
"There's nothing between him and me, and there won't be anything between us in the future."
Li Ziyan's eyelids twitched and he chuckled, "But what does this have to do with me? When we signed the contract, Mr. Jing said it could be terminated at any time. You can't have that right while I suffer the consequences. Mr. Jing slept with me for two months and gave me two months' salary. We don't owe each other anything."
Who said they didn’t owe it? Jingze wanted to speak, but he found that he couldn’t speak, and his throat was choked and uncomfortable.
"Aside from the contract, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
"Mr. Jing, everything is over now. You don't have to stick with me." Li Ziyan lowered his head. He was very thin, and because of running around for work in such a short time, he was even thinner than when they first met. The gauze on the hand holding the milk cake was obvious, and the pink scar was particularly conspicuous. "Like I told you, liking you only brings me pain. Now I give up, Mr. Jing, you don't have to come to me anymore."
"Then what should I do?"
"What?"
Jingze approached step by step, put his hands on the windowsill, trapped Li Ziyan in his arms, staring into Li Ziyan's eyes without blinking, "Are you just going to leave me like this?"
"Mr. Jing, you're really joking. How could I be so qualified? Besides, with your status and capital, you can find anyone you want. Why waste your time on me?"
Li Ziyan said this, but his expression revealed some pain unnaturally. He bit his lips, as if he was trying hard not to let his emotions break down. This expression made Jingze even more sad. He wanted to hug Li Ziyan in his arms, but Li Ziyan pushed him away.
"Mr. Jing, since we are no longer in a relationship, please don't do things that would cause misunderstandings and make me feel bad."
Both of them were silent for a moment. Li Ziyan turned his head and raised his hand to rub his cheek. Something shiny flashed by. Jingze's pupils suddenly shrank. He wanted to say something, but Li Ziyan spoke first.
"Mr. Jing, this is not a place for someone of your status. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you here. I also wish you a smooth life in the future. That's all."
After saying that, Li Ziyan walked around Jingze with the milk cake in his arms and left the room.
Jingze was at a loss for a moment. It wasn't like he hadn't been rejected before. At least during his pursuit of Su Jianbai, Su Jianbai had given him this feeling of disappointment. However, Su Jianbai had never been as resolute as Li Ziyan in severing their relationship. Instead, he used ambiguous words to keep Jingze's heart hanging, making him feel that he still had hope.
However, Li Ziyan's attitude was resolute. He could clearly feel that Li Ziyan was sad and reluctant, but the other party was able to control his emotions and forcibly distanced themselves from each other.
Cutting losses in time, being overly calm, and the gentleness and sharpness displayed in his character, Jingze found that he could see more and more of the real and complete Li Ziyan.
However, this rejection did not make him feel ashamed or sad. Instead, he felt sad, not for himself, but for Li Ziyan.
How could he think that Li Ziyan was Su Jianbai's substitute? How could he compare Li Ziyan with Su Jianbai? He was wrong from beginning to end like a fool.
When he came out of the room, he didn't see Li Ziyan, but saw the dean. The dean could see that the two of them were not communicating well, so he just nodded lightly at Jingze and didn't say much.
Jingze had finally given up on Su Jianbai today. His mind was in a state of confusion. He also knew that Li Ziyan had been hurt and was upset, so this wasn't the best time to talk. So even though he didn't want to leave, he still got in the car and stared intently at the people in the orphanage, trying to find Li Ziyan inside.
Jingze was in a gloomy mood until he returned home. When he opened the door, the room was as empty as ever, without any trace of human presence. It was a completely different feeling when Li Ziyan first moved in. Every day when Jingze came home, he would leave a light on in the room. Li Ziyan would prepare warm water in the kitchen and light incense to help him sleep in the bedroom. Even when it was just the two of them, the room was filled with the scent and warmth of home.
But ever since Li Ziyan moved out, this room has become like an empty cellar, like a model house that has not yet been renovated, and is now deserted.
No one would cook for him, no one would sleep in his arms, and no one would secretly give him a good morning kiss when he woke up the next morning.
Jingze sat on the sofa, covering his face with one hand and giving a bitter smile. Who could he blame? It was he who wanted to sign the contract with Li Ziyan, and it was he who wrongly accused Li Ziyan of hurting his heart after learning of his feelings for him.
As he wished, Li Ziyan only maintained a simple physical relationship with him, but now he is unwilling to give him even this little bit of charity.
Rubbing his face with both hands, Jingze spread his bone wings and swept everything on the table to the ground.
After the sound of something breaking and colliding, the phone vibrated and rang. Jingze raised his face from his hands and answered the call.
"Lao Jing, guess what I found out?"
"What."
"Your Bai Yueguang is really not a simple guy. He is much more scheming than we imagined. You were really blind to fall for him." Wei Xiuzhu snorted coldly, mocking him in a sarcastic tone.
Jingze didn't feel annoyed, just a little tired.
"What did you find out?"
"He's been bullying the entertainment industry under your name and the names of his admirers, snatching resources everywhere and secretly making countless enemies for you. He's done everything, including overdoing roles, snatching roles, and changing scripts. He's just kept it all under wraps and hidden it from you." Wei Xiuzhu could be heard shuffling documents. His voice was a little cold, as if he had seen something. "You wouldn't have guessed it, but he also opened a casino. This year he said he was going abroad to study, but it was actually because the casino was losing money and he was hiding from his debts. The money he took from you for investment was all used to fill the hole."
"He's even using your background to compete with an orphanage for land, cutting off their financial resources and forcing them into submission."
"Orphanage? What orphanage?" Jingze sat up straight and clenched his fists.
"What's it called? Starry Sky Orphanage. They've forced me to sell all my property..."
Jingze didn't even listen to the rest of Wei Xiuzhu's words. He just felt his mind was blank and he couldn't speak.
