What Shen Ruo couldn't stand the most was his doting demeanor. Why couldn't he yell at her like he used to? Why couldn't he just have a falling out with her?
She coldly withdrew her hand and stood up, speaking indifferently, "I've made it very clear, I don't want to marry you. Gu Kai, we are not suitable for each other, let's break up."
Without looking at his reaction, she strode towards the door. Behind her came his hoarse voice, "Why?"
"Because, I've realized, I don't love you." A tear slid down her cheek, and just as it hit the ground, it was hidden by her shoe.
As Shen Ruo closed the door of the study behind her, she suddenly felt weak and leaned against it, tears flowing unabashedly.
It was impossible not to be heartbroken, not to be sad.
She had already developed feelings for him, had hopes and expectations for this relationship, and now she was forcefully suffocating them; her heart really hurt.
