Su Xueli patted her head and said, "That's all."
To her surprise, just as she said she was putting Zhou Mingtao down, Xiao Jiu hurriedly said after get off work, "Sister Xue Li, can I ask for a day off tomorrow? I want to talk to my boyfriend, meet both sets of parents, and finalize our relationship."
Su Xueli: "..."
Lin Meizhi couldn't eat dinner. She took a bath, changed into new clothes, and then sat in front of the mirror applying makeup endlessly. After finishing, she looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
Finally, she heard Zhou Mingtao's voice, and her heart was pounding in her throat.
As soon as Zhou Mingtao entered the room, he handed her the same amount of money she had paid at the hospital that morning, saying, "I'm here to return the money."
Lin Meizhi was stunned.
After a long while, large tears streamed down her face. She said, "Ming Shen, I thought that if I tried my best, we would still have a chance. Now... it seems that my efforts are useless."
Wei Mingshen said softly, "Meizhi, I've made myself very clear. What happened between us is in the past, and we can't go back. We both have to accept it, right?"
He put the money on the table.
Lin Meizhi squatted down on the ground in anguish, hugging herself and saying, "Mingshen, how could I lose you? I thought we loved each other so much, I thought you would love me as much as I loved you, and that it would never change, but... you changed... sob sob..."
Wei Mingshen felt bad too, and said in a low voice, "Meizhi, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I was immature. Actually, this is much better than us getting married and then finding out we're not compatible. Accept it, forget about me."
Li Meizhi shook her head: "I will never forget you in this lifetime. I will only love you in this lifetime."
Wei Mingshen laughed, "Meizhi, believe it or not, next month, or the month after, at most six months, you will find yourself ridiculous today, actually shedding tears for someone who doesn't love you."
Also, once you find someone who is your equal in terms of social standing, has a good job, and treats you well, you'll be glad we broke up.
Lin Meizhi raised her head, looking at the handsome man through her tear-filled eyes. She felt only excruciating pain in her heart. She refused to believe that she could forget him, refused to believe that one day she would be glad that she had separated from him.
She shook her head: "Ming Shen, maybe I'm already a joke in your heart, but I'm not you. You will be the pain in my heart for the rest of my life. I love you, and that will never change."
Wei Mingshen smiled helplessly, "Meizhi, it's no use saying anything now. You'll have to learn from my words later. Now, please come with me to find Su Xueli and get back the money you gave her this morning."
Lin Meizhi stared at Wei Mingshen for a moment, finally giving up, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Secretary Lin and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment as the two men left together.
When they reached a deserted spot halfway through their journey, Lin Meizhi suddenly stopped, her large eyes shining brightly in the moonlight.
"Ming Shen, can you hug me again?"
Wei Mingshen frowned slightly.
"Ming Shen, just one hug, the last one," she pleaded.
Wei Mingshen sighed and said, "What's the point of this?"
"Yes, let me feel your embrace one last time."
"Meizhi, stop being childish. Since we have no relationship anymore, we should avoid suspicion. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Let's go." He walked quickly ahead.
Lin Meizhi stood there, stunned.
Looking at the tall, strong, and perfectly sculpted man before her, her heart ached with a tearing pain. She couldn't understand how she had lost him, or when it had started. If only she had known, she should have clung to him relentlessly, denying him and Su Xueli the chance to marry…
Okay, let's call it a day then. Let's leave each other with some dignity.
"Sherry, give me back my money." Lin Meizhi looked at Su Xueli.
Hand over the receipt as well.
