At that moment, everyone present, whether at the scene or watching on screen, was deeply moved.
The aloof and indifferent Kyoto goddess has such a humble side; this must be love to the extreme.
Viewers in front of their screens could no longer contain themselves. Such a devoted and loyal CEO is hard to find, and the screen was constantly being refreshed with barrage of comments.
"Mr. Ji, we support you in finding your loved one."
"Exactly, why can't people be together if they're not related by blood? We just need to agree."
"Ji Fuying, come back quickly, don't let him continue to be depressed."
"Get together, get together. If anyone dares to say another word against us, I'll beat them up for you."
Country A, Mo Shiyan's villa.
Ji Fuying sat blankly on the balcony of her room, her phone playing footage of the Ji Group's press conference.
She heard everything Ji Yan said, and she felt his deep affection and protection.
However, love that comes late is cheaper than grass. If he had done this three years ago, she would have rushed to him without hesitation.
Now...it's too late.
She turned off the live stream, shifted her gaze to the distance, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Ji Yan, I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened three years ago, since you helped me out. But I still can't tell you about Bu Yi's background, and I can't go back to how I felt about you. We're destined to go our separate ways."
On the balcony next door, Mo Shiyan had been sitting there for an hour.
He heard everything Ji Yan and Ji Fuying said on his phone.
His hand, which was resting on the side of the chair, clenched into a fist. His regret grew deeper and deeper. Ji Yan was wrong, but he was also wrong.
If Yingying hadn't been in such a rush to return and take over the presidency, she might not have encountered all that, and she wouldn't have left China scarred and battered.
Is it too late now?
His feelings for her never changed, and he never cared about her past.
He also liked Buyi very much, and Buyi liked him very much too, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get past Yingying.
He had a strange intuition that she still had feelings for Ji Yan, but she kept them buried deep in her heart, and she herself might not even be aware of them.
Yingying, I won't put pressure on you, but please let him go as soon as possible, okay?
Country Z, at the press conference.
Every word Ji Yan uttered was an explanation of his own mistakes, without the slightest attempt to shirk responsibility.
"Did you all hear that clearly? I'm sorry to her, and she completely broke off all ties with me three years ago. Please don't disturb her life anymore."
Ji Yan's eyes dimmed, as if everything had vanished into thin air, leaving only endless despair.
Then he silently lowered his head, got up, and left. This was the only thing he could do for Yingying.
On the way back to the company, Han Xiao looked at the person in the back seat with concern, "President Ji, are you really going to let go of Miss Ji?"
He had been by President Ji's side the longest, and no one knew better than him how he had survived the three years Miss Ji was gone.
On the day Miss Ji disappeared, President Ji frantically searched the entire country of Z, but in the end, he still couldn't find her.
He drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day, and once he almost drowned in the swimming pool. For those three years, he lived like a heartless walking corpse.
After finally finding Miss Ji, not only did their suffering not end, but they also had to let go and allow her to be with someone else.
Isn't this retribution a bit too harsh?
After a long while, she calmly replied to him from the back row, "I have no regrets as long as she is happy. Why must we stay together for a lifetime?"
He felt like his heart was being torn apart when he said those words, but wasn't this the best solution at the moment?
"President Ji, I used to think you were selfish and heartless, but now you have really changed a lot."
Unfortunately, it was too late. If he had realized this sooner, how could he and Miss Ji have ended up like this?
"Han Xiao, have I really missed her forever? I would do anything to give her just once, no matter the cost."
His gaze was unfocused, his face was covered with mottled tear stains, and his heart was growing colder and colder.
...
Country C, Mingxiao Hall.
Xing Chu sat there with a somber expression, his eyes occasionally glancing at the silent Fu Xiao.
Why has Fu Xiao's attitude towards her changed so much since she came back this time? Could it be that he still holds a grudge against her because of what happened when he offended Ji Yan last time?
"Brother Xiao, why don't you seem happy to see me back?" Even though she noticed Fu Xiao's change, she still maintained a sweet smile.
"Die Xing, I'm so glad you're back. What brings you here?"
Fu Xiao only belatedly realized that she seemed to have never sought his help even once when she didn't need it.
She really took advantage of him to the fullest extent.
"Brother Xiao, why didn't you keep your promise to me? Do you know how disappointed I am?"
“I’ve already said that I will not do anything for you anymore, and I think you understand that.”
Xingchu's smile suddenly froze; she couldn't believe that Fu Xiao would say such heartless words to her.
Does he no longer like her? Or has he fallen for another woman?
These are two facts that she cannot accept. Even if she doesn't like Fu Xiao, she will never allow Fu Xiao to like someone else.
"Brother Xiao, why are you suddenly treating me like this? Did I do something wrong?" She squeezed out a few tears, looking pitifully at Fu Xiao's expressionless face.
He used to hate seeing her suffer, so she deliberately put on a pitiful look, hoping to win his sympathy again.
"Die Xing, stop acting. I used to tolerate you no matter how willful you were, but you've changed. You've become someone I don't recognize. I'm completely disappointed in you."
"Fu Xiao, we've known each other since childhood, and we have a deep friendship. Are you really going to turn your back on me?"
"If I gave you a chance to give up Ji Yan and come back to my side, would you be willing?"
Fu Xiao waited for a long time without receiving a response from her, and could only give a bitter smile, "You see, this is your choice, not mine."
"You know how deep my feelings are for Ji Yan, how could I let go so easily? You should give me more time."
"And during all this time, who will you make me hurt? And how will you break my heart time and time again?"
"No...you have to let me deal with what happened before, right? I've thought it through, and I know that you're the only one who loves me the most."
With tears blurring her vision, Xing Chu threw herself into Fu Xiao's arms, tightly hugging his waist with both hands.
It's too late for Ji Yan to help her now, no matter how unwilling she is. Only Fu Xiao can help her now.
