Shen Qingyi walked aimlessly along the corridor, tears blurring her vision. 0
 
Su Wanrou's words coiled around her heart like a venomous snake, gnawing at her soul. 0
 
"Yun Ci, how could you believe her words?" 0
 
"Were our vows once made in the mountains and seas all lies?" 0
 
Her steps faltered as she stumbled back to her room. 0
 
Inadvertently, she knocked over the sheet music on the piano table. 0
 
Among the scattered sheets, a letter revealed itself, addressed to her by Rou'er. 0
 
The elegant handwriting was filled with tender and poignant verses of love poetry. 0
 
Shen Qingyi trembled as she picked up the letter, reading each line slowly. 0
 
Every word pierced her eyes like needles. 0
 
"Hand in hand, we shall grow old together." 0
 
"May I find a true heart, never to part until white-haired." 0
 
 
The vows that once belonged to her and Gu Yun Ci now appeared in a love poem written for another woman. 0
 
Shen Qingyi's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, nearly suffocating her. 0
 
"How could this happen?" 0
 
"Yun Ci, why are you doing this to me?" 0
 
Tears surged forth like a broken dam, blurring her vision. 0
 
At that moment, Gu Yun Ci pushed the door open and entered. 0
 
He saw the letter in Shen Qingyi's hand, and his expression changed slightly. 0
 
"Shen Qingyi, you..." 0
 
Shen Qingyi looked up, her eyes misty with tears as she gazed at him. 0
 
"Is this letter yours?" 0
 
Gu Yun Ci opened his mouth but said nothing. 0
 
To Shen Qingyi, his silence was undoubtedly an admission. 0
 
"Do you really... have something with Su Wanrou?" 0
 
 
Shen Qingyi's voice trembled, nearly breaking into tears. 0
 
Gu Yun Ci wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. 0
 
Su Wanrou's previous words echoed in his ears. 0
 
"Young Master Yun Ci, you mustn't tell Shen Qingyi that I was the one who informed you. I don't want her to misunderstand me." 0
 
He hesitated. 0
 
He feared that revealing the truth would only deepen Shen Qingyi's sorrow. 0
 
"I..." 0
 
Gu Yun Ci's silence left Shen Qingyi utterly despondent. 0
 
"What else is there to say?" 0
 
"You actually... really betrayed me!" 0
 
Shen Qingyi's voice was sharp and mournful, like a wounded beast howling in agony. 0
 
Gu Yun Ci's heart was torn by Shen Qingyi's cries. 0
 
He wanted to explain, to make amends, but felt utterly powerless. 0
 
 
"Shen Qingyi, let me explain..." 0
 
"What is there to explain?" 0
 
Shen Qingyi interrupted him, "The facts are right in front of us. How long do you plan to keep lying to me?" 0
 
She forcefully threw the letter in Gu Yun Ci's face. 0
 
"Just go. I don't want to see you again!" 0
 
Gu Yun Ci looked at Shen Qingyi's resolute eyes, filled with pain and regret. 0
 
He knew he had made an irreparable mistake. 0
 
Silently, he turned and left, leaving Shen Qingyi alone in the empty room, tears streaming down her face. 0
 
Outside the window, the autumn wind howled, and leaves fell like whispers of despair. 0
 
Shen Qingyi's heart felt as withered and desolate as the autumn leaves. 0
 
Her love with Gu Yun Ci ultimately could not withstand Su Wanrou's scheming plots. 0
 
In this emotional game, she had lost utterly. 0
 
Hidden in the shadows, Su Wanrou watched it all unfold, a smug smile curling at her lips. 0
 
 
"Shen Qingyi, you ultimately cannot defeat me." Su Wanrou stepped out from the shadows. 0
 
She gently walked over to Gu Yun Ci and embraced him softly. 0
 
"Yun Ci, don't be sad. I will always be by your side." 0
 
Gu Yun Ci lifted his head and looked into Su Wanrou's gentle eyes, feeling his heart gradually calm down. 0
 
He buried his head in Su Wanrou's embrace, savoring the warmth of her presence. 0
 
Perhaps Su Wanrou was the one truly meant for him. 0
 
After leaving Gu Mansion, Shen Qingyi wandered aimlessly down the street. 0
 
Her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out, empty and desolate. 0
 
She didn't know where to go or what to do with her future. 0
 
She couldn't understand why two people who once loved each other so deeply had ended up like this. 0
