After a long while, he was the first to break the silence.
"Have you and Jin Buwei developed to this point?" His voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.
Faced with his questioning, I was speechless for a moment and did not know how to answer, so I could only choose to remain silent.
He didn't seem to expect an immediate answer from me, and continued, "I don't mean to blame you! I'm just worried that if Brother Qin finds out about this, the consequences could be unimaginable! Given his temperament, he might not let you off easily, and might even prevent you from living in this world!"
Upon hearing these words, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions surging within me.
"I know it perfectly well!"
After a brief pause, I continued, "But the days spent by his side were like an abyss for me!"
I simply cannot tolerate him constantly professing his love for me while secretly flirting and flirting with other women. Moreover, he completely lacks control over his restless heart. Given this, why should I continue to endure and force myself to restrain myself?
Lin Zhibai frowned and pressed, "So, you did this on purpose to get revenge on Brother Qin?"
I also lost my temper, and my words became somewhat agitated.
"I simply don't like him, and I hate that he forces me to stay by his side. I have the right to pursue my own happiness. If he can't give me happiness, he shouldn't force me to stay!"
He slammed on the brake pedal, a screeching sound filled the air, and the car came to an abrupt stop at the side of the road.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head quickly, his gaze falling directly on me, his eyes so gentle they were almost melting.
"I hope you truly love Jin Buwei before choosing to be with him! Otherwise, how can I guarantee he won't become another abyss that you can't escape from?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation.
"But the problem is, I have no other choice! Qin Shisheng is so domineering and powerful, besides Jin Buwei who is willing to help me, who else can help me?"
At this moment, he hesitated for a moment, but quickly said firmly again, "If... you stay by Brother Qin's side, and he still won't let you go after two years, then I can help you get out of this predicament!"
However, at this moment I had lost my patience and just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.
So I shouted almost hysterically, "Zhibai, thank you for your kindness! But I really can't wait any longer! Please, just pretend you never saw me and Jin Buwei together! Don't try to persuade me anymore, I have nowhere to retreat and can't turn back."
I've truly had enough of Qin Shisheng's torment. If I continue to stay by his side, I'll be the one who goes crazy!
After saying these words, I felt as if I had finally released all the negative emotions that had been building up for so long.
After listening to my roar, he stared at me silently, a complex and helpless expression on his face.
Time passed by, and all around was silent, with only the occasional cold wind rustling the withered leaves.
After a long while, he sighed deeply.
He then restarted the car, gently pressing the accelerator.
He said calmly, "Fine! Just pretend I never witnessed what happened today."
He escorted me downstairs.
"Go inside! I'll watch your back disappear from my sight before I leave." Lin Zhibai spoke in an icy tone, yet with extremely gentle words.
I looked at him with regret. "Zhibai, we all have our own circumstances beyond our control! We have to walk our own paths! Even if I made the wrong choice, I have no regrets. Thank you for respecting my decision."
After saying that, I turned around and stepped into the stairwell, pretending to be relaxed.
Back in the bedroom, soaking in the bathtub, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The sadness in my heart spread like a tide.
Lin Zhibai's words and all the things I had experienced during this time kept echoing in my mind, and painful tears streamed down my face.
As if all the muscles and bones had been removed from my body, I gradually collapsed into the bathtub water, tears mingling with the water in my eyes, silently!
I only poked my head out of the water when I was about to hold my breath to the limit.
Then look at yourself in the mirror, so beautiful and charming!
Keep encouraging yourself
"Get rid of him, everything will be alright!"
Qin Shisheng really came back that night...
I lay in bed pretending to be asleep, trying to ignore him.
"Wake up!" he called to me.
I don't want to wake up, and I don't want to see him. Why can't he stay by Liu Yu's side?
He saw that I wasn't awake and guessed that I was pretending to be asleep.
"I know you're pretending to be asleep."
I closed my eyes again, not wanting to talk to him, and not knowing what to say to him. I just wanted to avoid him, since I was leaving soon anyway.
He pulled me into his arms, holding my arm.
I was forced to open my eyes.
"Uh... what are you doing?"
"Can't you hear me calling you?" he said authoritatively.
I glanced at the alarm clock next to me.
"I'm really tired! Young Master! It's two in the morning, not two in the afternoon, can't you be a little more understanding!"
"Who gave you permission to talk to me so impatiently?" He pinched my waist.
"He wasn't impatient, he was just really sleepy!" I couldn't even muster the energy to look at him.
"Are you jealous again?" He reached out, trying to touch my face.
I turned my head and looked at him with an icy expression.
"Don't I even have the right to be jealous?"
