Jiang Yisheng put down his chopsticks, his gaze lowered softly, "Mom, I know what you want to say."
"Asheng, I'm not trying to pressure you, but seeing you like this all the time, it hurts me," Veya looked at his dim eyes, feeling a pang of reluctance.
She knew why he was working so hard, simply to numb himself with work.
"Asheng, some people are meant to be but not meant to stay. Since it can't be forced, just let it go."
As the words fell, the surrounding temperature dropped to freezing.
Jiang Yisheng gripped his fist weakly, veins popping on the back of his hand.
Calming his complicated emotions, he looked up, meeting her worried gaze, "Mom, I'm sorry to make you worry for me, but..."
He paused, his voice involuntarily turning hoarse, "Our Jiang Family commits to one person for a lifetime, you know this better than I do, don't you?"
Fate without a connection or unable to be forced, if it's not that person, he wouldn't settle.
