Qin Jiayan had learned at a young age that he had to depend on himself for everything, but right now he had actually brought up Gu Yusheng.
No one knew that he had made exceptions for Su Qing time and again because he was so afraid that she would turn him down.
No one knew that the words that he had said earlier were his desperate pleas for her to leave with him.
He was no longer the impulsive youth that he had been back then, who had simply asked her to stay when he hadn't wanted her to leave. Now, he knew what he needed to do to convince her.
Ultimately, though, he was still wrong. No matter what kind of a bright path he paved for her, she didn't have the slightest intention of walking it with him, and she directly cut him off before he could finish speaking. "Jiayan, it's over between us, and it has been for 12 years. It's impossible for me to be with you again."
