Chapter 26

I exited the video.

And turned my gaze towards Xu Siyan.

I once pretended to unintentionally come close to him.

Hiding away that youthful past.

If there was no mutual affection between us.

Then my deep feelings for him were merely a burden.

I never intended to bind him with them.

“This was supposed to be her wedding gift for me.”

“Later, the wedding was called off, and you didn’t need to know.”

“Sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night.”

His eyes remained fixed on me:

“Shuyue, there’s no disturbance between us.”

“I never knew you liked me for so many years.”

“If I had known many things earlier, maybe…”

My phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.

It was Chen Xu calling.

I was about to answer.

Xu Siyan grasped my wrist.

He suddenly blurted out, “I broke up with her.”

He and Jiang Yuqing had been entangled for so many years.

Yet it didn’t end well.

“You don’t need to tell me.”

His gaze was deep.

He had never looked at me with such eyes before.

“Shuyue, can you not leave with him?”

In the past, I hoped he would be jealous.

I deliberately tested him, wanting him to care more about me.

But his heart remained as immovable as a mountain.

Now, without the identity to question jealousy, he began to mind.

Life always goes against one’s wishes.

He brought me the thick cotton coat I most wanted in that winter during early spring.

But I had long set off lightly.

I withdrew my hand from his.

I told him:

“I’m with him now.”

“Siyan, you should go back.”
