The atmosphere in the car was thick with tension.
Gu Cheng sat upright, driving steadily, but his gaze kept drifting toward me.
I turned to look at him, and I noticed his face slowly turning red, his throat moving as if he were struggling to speak.
"Wan'er, were the words you just said true?"
"Which ones?" I feigned ignorance.
"About... about being my girlfriend..."
Gu Cheng suddenly became flustered, pulling the car over to the side of the road. His speech was stammering, and his face, along with his ears, flushed a deep crimson.
Seeing him like this made me unable to suppress a smile.
"You’re so cute, my boyfriend."
I watched as his eyes brightened, a silly grin spreading across his face.
I couldn’t help but laugh along with him.
Life felt so good like this, truly.
For the past month, Sun Yu had been calling and texting me incessantly, but I hadn’t answered a single one.
I focused on my own life and traveled to many places with Gu Cheng.
We went diving in the Maldives, surrounded by vibrant schools of fish in the azure depths, as if we were in a fairy tale.
We visited Iceland to see the Northern Lights; when that mysterious and beautiful green light danced across the sky, I felt as if the whole world had fallen silent.
We went skydiving in New Zealand; leaping from such heights, with the wind rushing past my ears and breathtaking landscapes below, at that moment, I experienced an unprecedented sense of freedom.
Every day is filled with fulfillment and joy.
Gu Cheng is a person who loves life and cherishes freedom.
He enjoys traveling, adventuring, and everything beautiful in the world.
Being with him brings me an unprecedented sense of ease and happiness.
Our relationship quickly blossomed.
Zhao Ya naturally joined us, though she often teased me about our public displays of affection. Yet, she enjoyed it and looked forward to finding her own true love.
Ideally, someone who shares her passion for travel and is younger than her would be perfect.
In her words, "I also want to find a little puppy to experience the joy of love!"
One day, we watched the sunset by the beach in Bali.
In the distance, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, painting the sky and sea in hues of gold.
Nearby, fine white sand gently kissed the shore, whispering sweet nothings.
Golden sunlight danced on the surface of the water, shimmering like a beautiful painting.
Suddenly, Gu Cheng knelt on one knee, holding a sparkling diamond ring.
"Wan'er, will you marry me?"
He gazed deeply into my eyes, filled with love.
I was stunned, completely taken aback by his sudden proposal.
"I..."
I felt a bit at a loss.
"Wan'er, I know we haven't known each other for long, but I am serious about you."
Gu Cheng held my hand, and the warmth from his fingertips reassured me.
"I love you. I want to travel to every corner of the world with you. I want to grow old with you."
"Will you give me this chance?"
I looked into his sincere eyes, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
"I will."
I choked out the words.
Gu Cheng excitedly lifted me up and spun around several times.
"That's great! Wan'er, I love you!"
He shouted joyfully, while Zhao Ya nearby scattered flowers and set off fireworks, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd.
I nestled in his embrace, feeling his heartbeat, overwhelmed with happiness.
Just then, a sudden voice shattered the beautiful atmosphere.
"Lin Wan'er, you can't marry him!"
I looked up to see Sun Yu standing there.
Why does he always seem to linger around?
Sun Yu rushed in front of me,
"Wan'er, please give me another chance, okay?"
"I promise I will treat you well from now on and will never let you suffer again."
"Let's remarry, shall we?"
He pleaded, even attempting to reach out for me.
Gu Cheng stepped in front of me protectively, glaring coldly at Sun Yu.
"Sir, please have some self-respect."
"Wan'er has already agreed to marry me; she is now my fiancée."
"Shut up!"
Sun Yu glared at Gu Cheng.
"I'm talking to my wife; what does it have to do with you?"
"Wife?"
Gu Cheng chuckled.
"Wan'er has long divorced you; she is single now and has the right to choose her own happiness."
"You..."
Sun Yu was left speechless, his face turning crimson as if it might bleed.
"Sun Yu,"
I spoke up,
"I've made it very clear; it's over between us."
"Wan'er, do you really have to be so heartless?"
Sun Yu's eyes were filled with despair.
"It's not that I'm heartless,"
I looked at him,
"You destroyed our marriage with your own hands."
"I no longer love you, not at all."
After saying that, I took Gu Cheng's hand and turned to leave.
After walking a few steps, I stopped and looked back at Sun Yu.
"Let me remind you one last time, Han Xue is not a good person. Take care of yourself."
This time, I was truly saying goodbye to the past.
I could finally start a new life, together with Gu Cheng.
In the distance, the sea sparkled under the sunlight, like countless diamonds shining, or like someone's heart, shattered into pieces.
