In the heavy snowfall, I saw Yikeng.
He was wearing a yellow delivery uniform, covered in mud, with frost even on his eyelashes.
I quietly complained, "Why are you so late? The event is already over."
He rubbed my head and reached out his hand, revealing a carefully chosen gift in his palm.
"I'm sorry, I'm still late."
The necklace wasn't expensive, but for Yikeng at that time, it was quite a burden.
Later, I secretly asked his friends and learned that he did any job he could to prepare the gift for me, not caring about his own health.
At least back then, Yikeng really liked me.
But what about him now?
I looked at some luxury items placed in his home that I used to love, unsure if he was still thinking of me or if he was mocking me.
Just as I was lost in thought, Yikeng suddenly leaned closer, his warm fingers brushing against my wrist.
"What are you thinking about?"
"…Nothing."
"You're lying to me again."
He sighed softly and prepared to put the newly bought necklace around my neck. "Let's change it up; let someone else accompany you, okay?"
"Ding Pengpeng, let's start over…"
Ding Dong—
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Yikeng frowned, "Who is it?"
"Is Qiuyao back?" I instinctively stood up and took a few steps back to keep my distance from him.
Yikeng stared at me, his gaze deepening.
He walked over to open the door.
Standing outside was a young man I didn't recognize.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Is this Ding Pengpeng's house?"
"…Yes."
"I'm her fiancé, Guan Shu."
Yikeng turned back, looking at me in disbelief, the necklace he had just bought fell to the ground.

Yikeng remained silent for a long time but still let Guan Shu and me leave.
"Can't you live without him?" Guan Shu asked me.
I shook my head, "I just don't want to keep bothering him."
Guan Shu let out a cold laugh and said nothing more.
Guan Shu and I had known each other for a long time.
Before my family went bankrupt, he had confessed to me many times.
But at that time, I was completely focused on Yikeng and repeatedly rejected him.
"It's not too late to marry me now."
"I can help you pay off all your family's debts."
"Ding Pengpeng, you didn't think much of me back then. What about now?"
"Do you think that because I rejected you back then, I should now marry you for money?"
I couldn't help but laugh.
"My rejection back then wasn't because you were poor; it was because I had no feelings for you."
"You pursued me for so long precisely because I either ignored you or rejected you, right?"
"You don't really like me; you just want to satisfy your desire for conquest."
Guan Shu's thoughts were hit right on target, and his expression turned sour.
"Why did you pretend to be my fiancé just now?"
"We're getting married soon anyway," he said nonchalantly.
"I never agreed to that."
"So what? Who else would want to marry you besides me?"
"You have so much debt, Ding Pengpeng. Aren't you feeling inferior now that you see Yikeng?"
"He was just a poor kid who could be bullied back then. Now that he's successful, he comes back to humiliate you. Doesn't that fit his character perfectly?"
"He's not that kind of person," I said firmly.
"Oh really? Then why are you afraid to tell him your family went bankrupt?"
"Because you're afraid he'll look down on you."
"You're talking nonsense!" I couldn't help but curse.
"I'm not anyone's possession, and I never accepted your proposal. I didn't before, and I won't in the future."
I got out of the car, and Guan Shu didn't stop me.
