He Xiyan smiled wryly and shook her head.
She was not overthinking things but these were the cold, hard facts.
"Jiahang…" He Xiyan said as she stared into his eyes. Then, she gently took his hands in hers and paused for a moment before she said, "Promise me that you'll find someone else who would be more suited to be your partner and start life anew. You may even consider her ex-girlfriend Lin Ziya. She loves you very much and she did not date again during the nine years that you had gone missing. This shows how much she loves you. There are so many better women out there, so you shouldn't be pining after me, do you understand? I really hope that you'd be happy… then, I'd feel better."
She sighed and no matter how hard she tried, tears still rolled down her cheeks.
"Yan Yan…" Chen Jiahang had not expected to hear these words from her. He pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
