Li Ruyi was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses after Song Mengmeng's reminder.
Looking at the clear-eyed girl in front of her, she simply couldn't bring herself to say, "I've already broken up with him."
She had spoken very fluently to Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna before, but when it came to actually making a decision, she just couldn't do it.
On one hand, her rationality tells her through facts that the man's actions show that his love for her wasn't just a fleeting one, but a form of exploitation to achieve his goals. On the other hand, she always remembers Qi Song's companionship and help during her times of adversity, and she always feels a soft heart, wondering if he has some unspeakable secret, and tries to excuse him.
These two ideas have been churning and battling in her mind for more than just a day or two.
She knew that it wasn't good to keep delaying like this, but when it came time to make a decision, she always wavered, so the matter was dragged on and remains unresolved to this day.
If Song Mengmeng hadn't brought this up now, she probably would have continued this indefinite self-deception, always thinking that since nothing has happened yet, she should just let things go on for now!
"I... I actually thought about breaking up, cutting it off cleanly. But..." Li Ruyi sighed. The calm and composed businesswoman in the eyes of others also had a soft, delicate, and even timid side when it came to her personal feelings.
"It's okay, I'll help you." Song Mengmeng raised her hand and gently patted Li Ruyi's shoulder. She had a sweet and well-behaved appearance, but when she made this serious promise, she had a childish air about her pretending to be an adult, yet somehow she didn't evoke any contempt in people.
Not only Li Ruyi, but even Yao Anna standing to the side did not feel that there was anything wrong with her inexplicable promise.
On the contrary, it made me feel more at ease.
During this brief moment of heart-to-heart talk, a black sedan abruptly stopped at the entrance of the flower cake workshop.
And the boyfriend who had been so helpful and affectionate to Li Ruyi, who had only ever appeared in Li Ruyi's words, finally appeared in front of Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna for the first time.
Yao Anna and Song Mengmeng are not big names; they are not well-known celebrities. So it's not surprising that Qi Song only regarded them as Li Ruyi's friends.
"What are you doing here?" Li Ruyi's expression turned noticeably unpleasant when she saw Qi Song approaching.
Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, many of Qi Song's actions now make Li Ruyi feel a chill down her spine.
This flower cake workshop is not only her entire career, but also the legacy she inherited from her ancestors; Qi Song has been with her all along, and he knows all about it better than anyone else!
That's why Li Ruyi felt increasingly chilled and terrified when she thought about it.
If his goal was her flower cake workshop, does that mean all the kindness he's shown her over the years was nothing but a scheme?
Li Ruyi didn't want to think of things as so bad, but the situation before her left her no choice but to consider it. So, after realizing something was wrong, Li Ruyi decisively broke up with Qi Song.
Qi Song has consistently disagreed, and Li Ruyi has always wavered between being soft-hearted and being resolute, which is why this matter has remained unresolved until now.
