For the entire afternoon, Xiang Wan cooped up in the art studio, painting distractedly, occasionally picking up her phone to glance at it.
Zuo Xingyun remained silent; despite the way they had parted, he shockingly made no move.
In the past, he would have always coaxed her, especially now when their relationship had grown even closer than before...
After picking up her phone and putting it back down for the nth time, her last bit of hope was completely worn away.
There was a moment when she also reflected on herself, after all, Xun Lu had known Zuo Xingyun for over twenty years. Putting herself in their shoes, she realized that if she couldn't do it herself, why expect him to?
...
Night fell, and they were at a private restaurant.
Xun Lu, having dressed with care, gracefully made her way to the meeting as agreed.
She hadn't expected Zuo Xingyun to suddenly ask to meet her here.
