Chu Liyuan shifted his gaze away from Fang Lianya and spoke coldly, "I think I made myself very clear back then!"
"How did you communicate with me back then? You said you didn't like women and you would never get married, but what about now? Not only do you have a woman you like, but you also intend to marry her? Where do you place me in all this?"
"You've never changed in my eyes; we were once friends, and now we're just acquaintances."
"So I don't even qualify as your friend in your heart now?"
"That was your choice, wasn't it?"
"The reason I chose that path is because I love you!"
Fang Lianya's emotions grew more and more volatile, completely losing the noble demeanor she had upon arrival.
"But I don't love you!" Chu Liyuan said without any hint of emotion, "You knew this all along, didn't you?"
"But back then, you loved no one, and now it's different!"
"There's nothing different. I didn't love you then, and I don't love you now."
