Ji Zhuo blocked the door and said in a sorrowful voice, "Xi'er, I have no other choice... My mother is threatening to kill herself to force me to obey His Majesty's decree of marriage. If I insist, she will die in front of me."
Ji Zhuo felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of his mother, Chu Yunni, holding a knife to his heart and threatening to kill herself. He knew that his mother was really capable of doing it, and he was powerless to stop her.
Besides, Ji Zhuo dared not tell Lin Xihe everything at this time, for fear that Lin Xihe would despise him...
Lin Xihe knew Ji Zhuo's predicament. Seeing his pained expression, she knew that Chu Yunni must have done something again.
However, this arranged marriage came suddenly.
With whom?
"Sun Ningxiang..."
Sun Ningxiang? The name seemed to explode in Lin Xihe's ears. Was it truly fate that, after all the twists and turns, Ji Zhuo was destined to be bound to Sun Ningxiang?
"Stop!" Lin Xihe took a few steps back, no longer wanting to think about anything.
She knew that if things continued like this, the two of them might fall into a situation where they cried to each other, amplified their love for each other, and desperately wanted to be together.
However, the conflict persisted, and the cycle repeated itself, leading to repeated hurt until numbness set in, and ultimately, they separated.
Seeing Ji Zhuo's pained and helpless appearance, Lin Xihe clenched her fist tightly inside her sleeve.
Ji Zhuo has already suffered enough; let her play the villain.
Anyway, I wasn't exactly innocent.
“Ji Zhuo, I have no interest in your affair with Sun Ningxiang, and you don’t need to be so heartbroken. I’ve never believed that life is only about love. If 50,000 taels of silver were placed next to love, I would feel that even glancing at love would be disrespectful to the money.”
"So, I'm not worth you clinging to. Besides, every time I see you after you came back from after the New Year, I feel guilty."
Lin Xihe took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady.
"You may not be able to tell, but I'm really tired. You're in pain, but how could I not be tired of this helplessness?"
"Our relationship was a mistake from the very beginning. I wasn't the one who should have saved you. This is probably just a return to its original course. Even without Sun Ningxiang's affair, I wouldn't have continued with you. Let's end it here, okay?"
Ji Zhuo wanted to speak, but Lin Xihe's words left him speechless. He knew he couldn't change the situation; his mother had threatened suicide, and he had no choice but to obey His Majesty's decree.
Lin Xihe slammed the door shut and said coldly, "Ji Zhuo, you can leave. This is over."
