Jiao Long braced himself for Pan An's reaction, knowing that he would be shocked upon hearing that Ruo Xi, his ex-girlfriend, had married Jiao Long a year after they broke up.
As he explained the situation, Jiao Long could feel the tension building up between them, and he knew that Pan An was struggling to process what he had just heard.
For a few moments, there was silence on the other end of the line. Jiao Long could hear Pan An's breathing, and he could almost sense the anger and betrayal in his voice.
"What the hell, Jiao Long," Pan An finally spoke, "Did you take advantage of our break up to get with Ruo Xi? Is that why you didn't talk to me all these years?"
Jiao Long was quiet, knowing that Pan An's reaction was understandable. He could hear the hurt and frustration in his friend's voice. Pan An continued, "If this had happened in the past, I would never forgive you. I trusted you, man."
