Pei Ge and Chen Zhengchu sat in a corner of an elegant coffee shop.
After ordering two cups of hot beverages, Pei Ge added cubes of sugar into her milk.
Seeing how quiet she was, he feared that there was no going back with her.
"Pei Ge, I know that you blame me." He took a sip of his sugar-free coffee and tasted the bitterness of it.
"Dr. Chen, please don't misunderstand; I don't blame you." Pei Ge released the spoon that she had been using to stir the milk and clarified with a smile.
Her smile was distant and detached.
"Indeed, when I initially proposed to you, it was with the thought of getting back at that woman, who has returned to my side, for dumping me because she thought I have no future. However, if I don't like you or don't plan to spend the rest of my days with you, I wouldn't propose to you, either." His eyes bore deeply into Pei Ge's with how intense he was staring at her, and his voice trembled when he spoke.
