Si Limo tried to get used to not calling her, not contacting her, not thinking about her. The only love he could give her now was fulfillment and respect.
But he was also very selfish; he didn't want to see her happy with his own eyes.
Qiao Xiaren didn't return to her own apartment but went back to Song Nan and Xia Rong's house. She had never been in love before and didn't expect a single emotional experience to be so painful.
Xia Rong knew about Qiao Xiaren's situation and held her hand to have a heart-to-heart talk after dinner.
"I haven't been in love, and I don't know what you guys are thinking, but since the other party said things so definitively, there probably isn't much hope," Xia Rong tried to analyze the situation for her. "Actually, it's good that you are like this now, better than being deeply in love and then having to break up over some family or status issue later on."
It's better to cut it off while the feelings aren't that deep.
