"Chengyan, I do love you, I want to marry you, and I wish I could be with you forever. But… we have no future. We've been together, for me, I have no regrets… If we stay together for too long, I'm afraid I'll find it even harder to let go when we have to part. The heart-wrenching pain, I'm afraid I can't bear it again…"
Chi Xingye voiced her deepest thoughts at the moment.
Helian Chengyan's forceful fingers gripped her shoulders, lifting half her body.
Their eyes met silently in the dim bedroom.
He questioned her harshly, "Chi Xingye, when you were with me, you never planned to be with me for the rest of your life, did you?!"
"...Yes."
So, this wretched woman, even if she loves him, still plans to abandon him!
Helian Chengyan just confirmed that she truly loves him. The thrill of happiness hadn't lasted long before …
One second, his heart was soaking in honey; the next, it had fallen into a freezing, painful abyss.
