No Girl Can Walk Away Smiling After Checking Her Boyfriend's Phone - Chapter 14

After he left, I stood alone downstairs for a long time.

As I went upstairs, I saw a familiar figure not far away.

In the moonlight, the shadows of the trees danced, and Jiang Ling stood there quietly.

“Nannan,” he called my name softly, with a hint of pleading.

I walked over slowly.

Seeing me approach, he seemed quite surprised and called my name again.

The next moment, I spoke clearly, “Jiang Ling, don’t come looking for me anymore.”

I lowered my head, my voice very soft,

“From now on, I will start a new life, and maybe even a new relationship.”

“Nannan…” he unconsciously repeated my name, his voice full of confusion and panic.

Perhaps until this moment, he still held onto hope, thinking we were just having a little tiff.

I didn’t want to give him any false hope, and finally, with difficulty, I said, “But that person will never be you again.”

Jiang Ling and I have known each other for over twenty years, and we’ve been together for five.

We’ve seen each other at our lowest points, shared our most embarrassing and helpless moments, and warmed each other as best we could.

I once thought I would be with him for a lifetime.

But suddenly, everything changed.

He fell for someone else.

In those sleepless nights, I couldn’t stop thinking about one thing.

He was the one who pursued me so eagerly back then, so why am I the only one struggling to maintain this relationship now?

Looking back is wrong, moving forward is wrong.

I know that some people will gradually fade away with time, but I never thought it would end like this, in this way.

Maybe one day I will forgive him, but I can never be with him again.

……

After that day, Jiang Ling never appeared again.

As for Zhou Xuan…

She once sent me a WeChat¹ message, saying she was preparing to leave this city, without saying much else.

Although I didn’t understand why she suddenly told me this, it didn’t matter anymore.

I no longer have any feelings for her. Why she gave up on Jiang Ling, whether she’s doing well or not, has nothing to do with me anymore.
