"I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you, but… not everything can be achieved simply through effort."
Seeing the energy drain from the usually bubbly and energetic woman, the man himself did not feel well, too.
Although he did not love her, his heart… was not a rock, either.
After all, they were together for some time. Even if he did not love her, he actually still liked her and was grateful to her.
"Xiaoyu, you are a good lady. You deserve a better man."
"The only man I love is you, though! I don't want anyone else—just you!"
Tears, as though they were pearls from a broken string, dripped, drop by drop, from her eyes.
She looked at the man opposite her through a vision blurred by tears as her heart became filled with agony.
"I know that you used to like me. I know that, when you still didn't know about Pei Ge's existence, you did like me. Am I right?"
She grabbed onto him tightly with a gaze full of hope and anticipation.
