After a while, Xue Yiyang finally calmed his emotions and looked at her gently. "Have you been well all these years?"
He had once sent someone to inquire about her news and heard that she had also gone abroad, but he didn't know which country she went to. Before returning home, he heard that she had gotten married, which made him rush back in a panic, but ultimately he was still a step too late.
Now she was already a wife, and everything from the past seemed to have vanished like a fleeting dream.
"Thank you for your concern, Xue. I've been doing well!" She avoided his gaze and looked at the neatly trimmed lawn in the garden, hoping to end this conversation quickly.
"Really?" He seemed unconvinced, his deep gaze resting on her profile as if searching for the truth.
Earlier at Blue Rain Cafe, he had actually been sitting at the neighboring table behind her. Although his back was turned to her, he recognized her familiar voice and knew it was her sitting there. The scene at the airport combined with their conversation in the café and the information he had gathered made it clear to him that she was not doing well.
Marrying a man she didn't love out of so-called gratitude, and now facing a mistress demanding her to divorce—how could she say she was doing well without him believing it?
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not; it has nothing to do with you anymore. Don't you think it's unnecessary for you to come here and ask me that?" She wouldn't forget the embarrassment of being caught by him in the elevator or the awkwardness at the airport. Whether she was doing well or not was no longer related to him.
Their relationship was no longer even that of friends; what was the point of inquiring about each other's lives?
Faced with her retort, Xue Yiyang found himself speechless. Given his current status, he indeed had no position to say anything. However, seeing that she was not doing well still made his heart ache.
"Qiqi, I mean no harm; I just wanted to check on you..." He didn't say the latter part, even if it seemed unnecessary.
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it. If there's nothing else, I'm going in!" She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't cry if she stayed in front of him any longer.
Since she had decided to let go, there was no need to dwell on past memories; some people should be forgotten and not entangled with again.
He was just about to say something when she had already turned and entered the door. Her eager escape from him made his heart ache painfully.
"Qiqi, I regret it..." Looking in the direction she had left, Xue Yiyang's face was filled with guilt, his hoarse voice revealing a slight tremor and unwillingness.
He had never loved anyone but her. When he left her back then, it was due to family pressure and more so to protect her.
But he never expected that what he thought was protection would bring her the deepest hurt, and that the one who hurt her was none other than himself!
He had imagined countless times what it would be like to see her again, yet it ultimately remained unfulfilled love, just like the countless days and nights after their breakup, heart-wrenching to the point of suffocation.
The dim yellow light at the apartment entrance shone down from above, casting shadows on his tall figure, making the originally elegant man appear even more lonely.
Green Qi quickly took the elevator to her apartment floor. After entering, she still felt somewhat disoriented, leaning blankly against the cabinet at the entrance until a pair of slippers appeared at her feet.
She instinctively lifted her head, and upon seeing Jiang Chengmu's handsome face, her nerves tensed up immediately, and her wandering thoughts gradually returned to clarity.
