Xia Ling had no idea how long the car had been parked there for, but in the morning glow, it looked almost like it was covered in a beautiful rose-gold coating.
She dared not approach it. It took her immense courage to return to that villa each time.
She subconsciously reached for the area under her collarbone and realized something was missing — the amulet Li Lei had given her was no longer on her, and their token of love, the titanium ring pendant, was gone as well.
She felt like a part of her heart went missing.
Xia Ling took a few steps back, into the shade offered by a large tree. As if every ounce of courage had dissipated, she leaned against the trunk, lowered herself into a squat and curled herself up. Everything was only just beginning to sink in; the harsh words she had said to him, the breakup, the cutting of ties… even the last token of love that bound them together was gone for good — he had vanished from her life.
Li Lei. Li Lei.
