"No, it's not over yet!"
Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang He with a stubborn, yet injured expression.
"If I didn't agree, then this isn't over!"
"Jiang He, have you forgotten Liu Feifei? Can't you come back to me?"
"As long as you're willing to come back to me, I... I'll never treat you as a substitute again. You're not a substitute, you're you, Jiang He. Let's make up, okay?"
After speaking, she bit her lip and stared stubbornly at Jiang He, waiting for his answer.
Jiang He was completely stunned.
Although Liu Ruyan didn't say it explicitly, her tone and eyes conveyed the same message.
She was serious.
She genuinely cared about him, wanted to reconcile with him, and truly no longer saw him as a substitute.
She had this illusion that if he agreed, she would really be with him.
He always thought that Liu Ruyan came to see him several times after he suggested breaking up because of her possessiveness.
I can only accept that she doesn't want anyone else, but I can't accept that someone else leaves her on their own initiative.
But why is it that now, Liu Ruyan gives her the illusion that she actually has feelings for him?
"Liu Ruyan, stop joking, okay?"
"It's impossible for us."
Jiang He calmly rejected Liu Ruyan.
Whether Liu Ruyan truly had feelings for him or he was deluding himself due to narcissism, it was all in vain.
It's impossible for him and Liu Ruyan to ever reconcile.
There's no going back.
Even without Liu Feifei, Liu Ruyan's use of him as a substitute, along with his experiences in his previous life, had already exhausted all his feelings for Liu Ruyan.
All he wanted in his life was to remain strangers to Liu Ruyan, to live peacefully and never cross paths again.
Why is it impossible?
"Jiang He, I admit that I was wrong before. I shouldn't have treated you as a substitute."
"But now I really know I was wrong, and..."
Liu Ruyan bit her lip, looking reckless, and shouted with her eyes closed.
"And I really like you now!"
"Jiang He, I know you may not believe it, but it's true. I only realized how much I cared about you after I lost you."
"I've tried to forget you, to stop paying attention to your affairs, and to stop thinking about you."
"I thought I did a good job, that I could act like a stranger to you."
"But when I saw you with Liu Feifei, I realized that I simply couldn't do it."
"My heart aches whenever I think about you being with other people. I can't accept that you belong to someone else."
"I really want to deceive myself and tell myself that I don't care about you, but I just can't do it."
With red eyes, Liu Ruyan poured out her heart.
"Jiang He, forgive me, let's get back together, okay?"
Jiang He fell silent.
He never expected that Liu Ruyan had actually fallen for him.
Are you happy?
No.
Are you at peace with it?
I can't really explain it.
If it weren't for Liu Ruyan's abandonment of him in her past life, and her decision to break up with him without hesitation.
It's all because Shen Jiahe and her sister are getting a divorce.
After the divorce, Shen Jiahe had no further connection with the Liu family, and she finally had the opportunity to express her feelings to Shen Jiahe.
Perhaps he would feel a little smug.
She was secretly pleased that the white moonlight she admired actually had someone else in her heart.
So he's not entirely pathetic.
With lessons learned from past lives, the outcome in this life is drastically different.
It can only be said that a relationship may require the right timing, location, and people to be successful.
Indeed, relationships require a balance of power, and there are those who bully the weak and fear the strong.
In his past life, he was devoted to Liu Ruyan and was her devoted admirer.
Liu Ruyan looked down on him.
In this lifetime, he took the initiative to reveal the matter of the body double and severed ties with Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan, on the contrary, developed some genuine feelings for him.
He found it somewhat ridiculous.
"No, it's impossible for us."
Jiang He looked at Liu Ruyan calmly and rationally.
"Liu Ruyan, don't you understand? We can't go back."
Jiang He is very happy now. Happiness reduces hatred and resentment in people's hearts, making them more tolerant and peaceful, and enabling them to view things more objectively.
To be honest,
Compared to the harm caused to him by the Jiang family, Liu Ruyan did nothing else to harm him besides using him as a substitute.
He loved her, and he hated her.
But he was someone she had once loved, and even though Liu Ruyan treated him as a substitute.
But in his previous life, when he was kicked out of the Jiang family and wandered the streets, it was Liu Ruyan who took him home.
Judge by actions, not intentions.
Based on this, Jiang He patiently decided to have a clear talk with Liu Ruyan and end things completely.
"From the moment you approached me, intending to use me as a substitute, our fate was sealed."
"Relationships that begin with impure motives will not have a good ending."
"The most important things in a relationship are respect, trust, equality, and honesty."
"The future is long, and there's still a lot of time in a lifetime. Liu Ruyan, let's not see each other again, and let's not cause any more trouble for Feifei. She's a good girl, and I truly love her."
"The best ending for us is to be strangers for life, forget each other in the vast world, and each be well."
After Jiang He finished speaking, she calmly turned and left.
Goodbye, Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was left sitting there, stunned.
She sat motionless, her eyes red, as if frozen in place.
Until Jiang He left the private room.
The instant the door closed.
The sound of Liu Ruyan's heartbroken and desperate sobs echoed from the private room.
Jiang He paused in her steps.
The next second, everything returned to normal.
Without stopping or looking back, they left directly.
That's it. Goodbye, Liu Ruyan.
