I crouched down beside her and said, "Shalolo, admit it, you don't want to part ways with me; you just don't want to lose my love for you, right? For the past five years, you've taken my affection for granted. But honestly, have you ever had even a tiny bit of love for me?"
Shalolo immediately opened her phone's photo album, reminiscing about our past moments together.
She had even set our pictures as various wallpapers, repeatedly saying, "Of course I love you, of course I love you."
As I looked at the memories from the past five years, my heart ached even more.
I spoke softly, "Shalolo, love should be mutual; it shouldn't be one-sided or realized too late."
After hearing this, Shalolo froze. With her hands covered in porridge, she tightly gripped my arm and kept repeating, "We are in love; we are in love! I know you love me; you do love me. How can we not be in love?"
Her grip was painful, and I forcefully shook her off, shouting, "Let go of me! I don't love you anymore! I've said it's over; can't you understand that? The moment I saw your marriage certificate, it was over for us. How many times do I have to say it for you to get it?"
At that moment, the driver and the butler came over with the luggage, urging me to head to the airport.
Seeing the various pieces of luggage, Shalolo panicked and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the airport."
"Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"I'm going to the United States for graduate school. It could be one or two years, or I might not come back at all."
"Why are you suddenly going abroad? Why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"
"Why should I discuss it with you? Who are you to me?"
"When did you decide to leave?"
"Just after I saw your marriage certificate."
"Don't go, you can't leave! Zhou Xiaoan, we've been together for five years. How can you just say you're leaving? Have you considered my feelings?"
"Did you consider my feelings when you married Lin Yulin?"
Shalolo didn't say anything, and I had already packed my bags and got into the car.
After arriving at the airport, Shalolo called me again.
"Zhou Xiaoan, can I go to America with you? I can give up everything and start over with you, okay?"
"Shalolo, where you want to go is your freedom, but the moment I found out about your marriage certificate, there was no 'us' anymore."
"Zhou Xiaoan, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. I truly love you."
"You love me? Is that why you married Lin Yulin behind my back? Because you love me?"
"Forget about me and live well. Have the child. Life is rich; there's no need to be entangled in love all the time."
At that moment, the boarding announcement rang out, and I had to hang up.
As I hurried onto the plane, I realized that Shalolo and I hadn't said a single goodbye in the end.
It makes sense; never seeing each other again is probably better for both of us.
The graduate courses were harder than I had imagined, but fortunately, I was patient enough to study diligently and ended up with all A's at the end of the term.
Two years later, I graduated smoothly and took over my family's overseas branch.
Although I hadn't managed a company for five years, my elders were willing to guide me. Last month, I even signed a big contract.
My mom would occasionally fly over to see me and sometimes tell me things about Shalolo and Lin Yulin.
I heard that after their divorce, Lin Yulin lost his job and now spends his time either indulging in vices or living off his family.
During a health check last month, he was surprisingly diagnosed with HIV positive, and now his entire family is scrambling to borrow money for his treatment.
As for Shalolo, ever since she went abroad, her mental state has deteriorated, and she even exhibited self-harm behaviors.
One night, she ran out of her house and got into an accident.
Not only did she lose the child she was carrying, but she also became disabled and will have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
The saddest part is that Lin Yulin, knowing all of this, has never visited Shalolo even once.
Hearing all this left me feeling a bit reflective, but I quickly pushed those thoughts aside.
Everyone has their own fate; it’s all a matter of personal choices, and one cannot blame anyone for misfortune.
I no longer care about any of this; the only thing on my mind right now is the company’s plan to go public next month.
I wasted five years of hard work, but my new life is just beginning.
