I and Chu Ge returned to the country.

Yu Cheng had someone contact me to ask for a meeting.

I thought about it and agreed.

When I saw him again, I didn’t expect that several months had passed, and he had become so exhausted, as if all his spirit and vigor had been drained, no longer the lively and spirited person he used to be.

“Xiao Xiao, during the time you were gone, I had a dream. It was the same as this time—you saw me and Ning Ke Xin together, and then you left, driving away… On the road, you had an accident…”

Although Yu Cheng had lowered his head, I could still see the tears flowing from the corners of his fingers.

Those painful days and nights that I had endured were now also borne by him.

Whether it was intentional or not, I believed he was truly sorry.

This moment, I suddenly felt relieved.

“I’ve been having this dream for a while now. Xiao Xiao, tell me—is this not real? Isn’t that the case?” Yu Cheng’s eyes were red, and he looked at me with pleading.

I smiled and shook my head: “That’s not important anymore, Yu Cheng.”

I looked at his darkening face—I knew him so well, it was the look of hope being taken away.

Yu Cheng closed his eyes: “Don’t you think I wanted you back for your money and status?”

He hesitantly asked, “If I give you everything, including the company we built together, can you come back to me?”

I didn’t say anything.

If I had cared about those things, I wouldn’t have defied my family to be with him and started our company with nothing but our own efforts.

I sighed and looked at that familiar yet strange face: “It’s not necessary. I’ve already started a new life.”

After saying that, I gestured toward his back, and Yu Cheng turned around to see Chu Ge waiting outside, looking impatient.

His face became extremely pale.

I didn’t say anything else and left after paying the fare.

As soon as I got out, Chu Ge tightly grabbed my hand: “I know there’s a very delicious Japanese restaurant—I’ll take you there?”

I smiled: “Okay.”
