Yu Man laughed, but she was out of breath. She didn't know if she was feeling unwell, but she started coughing while laughing and fell on the quilt, unable to get up.
Ji Li frowned, obviously unable to stand her crazy look.
Yu Man stood up again, her eyes filled with despair, "Ji Li, if you drive me away today, our relationship will be over. I won't look back no matter what."
Ji Li felt a little emotional, but Yu Man was never someone he loved deeply, not to mention that she had offended him today.
He sneered, "Yu Man, do you take yourself too seriously? I'm not afraid to tell you that you're just a substitute for An Yiran. Do you know why I always turn off the lights when we go to bed? Because every time I come into contact with you, I'm thinking of another woman."
Yu Man was struck by lightning. "What did you say?"
Ji Li smiled cruelly, "I told you I've never loved you, yet you ridiculously said I was a stand-in. Who do you like? Ji Xinghe? I was just playing with you, how important do you think you are?"
Yu Man suddenly became excited, "Say it again!" She rushed over and grabbed Ji Li's clothes, "Say it again!"
Ji Li pushed her aside without mercy and said word by word, "I have never loved you."
After saying this, Yu Man suddenly fell silent as if a switch had been pressed.
She stood barefoot on the ground, her long hair tied back with a hairband. Her emotions had just fluctuated so much that there were more strands of hair on her temples. Her face was pale due to her illness, but her eyes were bright and frightening.
Ji Li didn't know why, but he suddenly saw Yu Man so clearly.
Yu Man looked at him quietly, her eyes neither sad nor happy. She said softly, "Ji Li, I don't want you anymore."
Ji Li wanted to laugh at her, but his throat seemed to be choked and he could not say anything. He could only watch Yu Man walk barefoot on the floor, step by step, away from the home where she had lived for five years.
He suddenly felt something strange in his heart, but he didn't understand what it was.
When leaving, Yu Man passed by An Yiran.
An Yiran pretended to be surprised, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Although her tone was worried, her eyes were full of gloating.
Yu Man gave her a cold look and said, "I am who I am today, just like you will be who you will be tomorrow. Take care of yourself."
"you..."
An Yiran suddenly felt panicky. She felt that Yu Man was not cursing her, but stating some facts.
Will she?
She went to see Ji Li. After Yu Man left, his face remained cold. He did not look relieved, but rather lost.
Ji Li said nothing and walked past her to the study.
...
In the evening, An Yiran thought that since Yu Man had left, she had to celebrate properly, so she asked Ah Hong to fry a steak and opened a bottle of red wine. She wore a red dress and sat on the dining table covered with a white cloth.
She thought that since Yu Man was gone, they should be officially together. After all, Ji Li himself said today that Yu Man was just a substitute for her.
She also deliberately asked Ah Hong to walk away, thinking that if the two of them became passionate, they could order whatever they wanted.
She waited for a long time and asked Ah Hong to urge him several times before Ji Li came downstairs.
Ji Li did not give her any compliments for the arrangement. Instead, he frowned and said, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
Although An Yiran blamed him for being unromantic, after Yu Man left, she was in a good mood and said in a coquettish voice, "I just want to have a candlelight dinner with you."
Ji Li didn't say anything. He sat down and silently cut the steak in front of him.
An Yiran was nervous. She had originally wanted Ji Li to give her a legitimate status today, but seeing Ji Li's behavior, she didn't know if he was reluctant to let Yu Man go.
She raised her wine glass and said, "Ji Li, we were college classmates. It's been eight years since we last met. After I left as an exchange student, I thought we would never have another chance. Unexpectedly, we're still together. This is really..."
"Buzz."
Ji Li immediately put down his wine glass and looked at his phone.
An Yiran's hand just stood there awkwardly.
Ji Li was a little disappointed when he saw that it was just a work email from his subordinates.
"Ji Li, I'm still talking, can you please put down your phone?" An Yiran said while suppressing her anger.
Ji Li frowned, "I'm very busy at work, and I just want to have a normal meal when I get home. Can you please not prepare these unnecessary things?"
An Yiran was stunned for a moment. Before she could think of a response, Ji Li wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I'm full. Take your time."
"Swish", the sound of the chair rubbing against the ground was extremely harsh.
Ji Li got up and went upstairs, leaving An Yiran alone sitting by the candlelight.
Close the study door
Ji Li looked at the green plants that Yu Man had placed on the table and felt a wave of irritation in his heart.
He didn't feel anything when Yu Man was around, but ever since she left, he felt like a piece of his heart was missing, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.
He called Ah Hong and asked her to pack up all of Yu Man's things.
Ah Hong asked carefully, "Are you going to throw it away?"
Ji Li pinched his brows and said, "Put it in the warehouse."
"Why."
Ji Li wanted to call his mermaid. He felt that no matter whether it was Yu Man or An Yiran, they might be gentle or cheerful at the beginning, but would always become boring in the end.
But the mermaid is different. She is quiet and gentle like a pool of hot spring water, nourishing him and making him forget his fatigue and worries. If she were his girlfriend, she would definitely not be like this.
He called the director and said, "I want Youyu's home address."
