"Ting Feng, the reason you agreed to see me was to cut ties completely and sever all that remains of the past?" Fang Chuning laughed coldly. He knew that once Xie Jue made a decision, he would not waver. "You're so domineering. Did you even ask for my opinion? You decide everything on your own, indulging me again and again, letting me take liberties and ask more of you. You gave me hope only to shatter it. How ridiculous! Xie Tingfeng, have you ever thought about how I feel?"
"I'm sorry!" Xie Jue looked into his reddened eyes, his heart aching unbearably. "Anning, if we continue this entanglement, there's no future for us. It's better to let go sooner."
The hidden guards held their breath, not daring to make even the faintest sound. Their breathing became shallow. None of them had expected that their master's meeting with Fang Chuning would be to sever their relationship. Xie Jue's decision had been known to no one, not even preceded by any signs.
