“The days I spent with you were sweet and happy, but also incredibly stressful. Especially during the time you were taken away for investigation, I was constantly anxious, suffering from insomnia, waking up at night, and losing my hair. I had no interest in anything, and each day felt like an eternity.”
"Furthermore, Jiang Hao's arrest for espionage was also Gu Yanqing's doing. Gu Yanqing deliberately provided him with connections, knowing he was short of money, and guided him to take photos of military bases and send them overseas. When he was arrested, he was illegally taking photos near your workplace."
I looked at Su Shenglin; his expression was extremely serious, clearly surprised and taken aback.
“He is still under investigation by the National Security Bureau, and I have also been asked to give a statement. I may have to cooperate with them many more times. If we don’t break up, you will also be implicated in this case.”
I took a slight breath, looked at him, and tried to speak gently, "Su Shenglin, if you were me, what would you do in this situation? I believe you would also break up with me."
"No," he stubbornly denied.
I chuckled. "Don't be childish. With your style, you'll break up even faster."
If you truly love someone, you won't want to burden them.
This kind of unavoidable situation is different from one party pushing the other away because one of them is sick.
This unavoidable situation involves more than just one person.
Behind it is a family, even a country.
I cannot allow Su Shenglin to bear such a heavy burden of guilt.
He fell silent and didn't say anything.
I took a slow breath and snuggled my cheeks into his arms again. "Let's break up. This beautiful memory is enough for me to cherish for a lifetime."
"Jiang Wan, you're so cruel. I won't agree." He was stubborn and rejected the idea again.
"If you don't agree, you're pushing me to the brink of despair."
“I can give up all of this and be an ordinary person,” he proposed again.
I calmly retorted, "Then can you sever your bloodline from the Su family? Grandpa Su made outstanding contributions, and Uncle Su holds a high position. This kind of family interest entanglement cannot be freed by you abandoning fame and fortune alone. As long as you bear the surname Su, as long as you are alive, the stain on you will affect them."
Su Shenglin pursed his lips and remained silent.
Clearly, he understood the stakes involved.
If Jiang Hao is convicted of espionage, our entire Jiang family will be branded.
His reputation will inevitably be damaged if he stays with me.
That will definitely have an indirect impact on the Su family.
This is an unbreakable bond.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, I pulled him aside again and changed the subject: "Come on, let's take a shower and go to bed. You must not have been resting well these days, your dark circles are so heavy."
I noticed it a while ago, but I didn't have time to mention it earlier.
Looking at him more closely now, it's clear that not only are his dark circles very pronounced, but the lines around his eyes are also more noticeable than before.
This shows that he also suffered greatly in just a few days, and he looked a bit older.
Su Shenglin didn't say anything, but after I pulled him up, he hugged me tightly, his voice trembling and hoarse: "Do we really have to break up? I will be very sad and heartbroken. This is more painful than giving up everything."
I turned around, hugged him, and coaxed him, "It's not like we'll never see each other again. We can be friends."
"If we break up, I will never see you again." He said this defiantly, as if in a fit of pique.
