Ren Chuqing's gaze shifted toward Qin Jingzhi, her lips slowly parting, "Jingzhi, I don't love you."
And her response was not just for Qin Jingzhi, but also an answer to Wen Muqing.
Qin Jingzhi's complexion grew increasingly pale, "But you clearly said that you would try to fall in love with me, if you are doing this to protect me, that's okay, I am no longer the child who couldn't do anything back then, I can take care of you and Nannan, even if we leave City Yan in the future, we can still..."
"Jingzhi!" Ren Chuqing interrupted him, "Regardless of whether you can protect me and Nannan or not, I don't want to leave City Yan like this. I don't love you, and I'm not lying about that, so you don't need to do anything for me. As for the promise I made to you before, just consider it me going back on my word."
Qin Jingzhi's body trembled, his eyes, now filled with sadness and reluctance, "Why won't you even try, when you obviously had feelings for me before, didn't you?"
