Gu Qixiao, for the first time, finally felt the depth of her emotions for him.
He had always assumed that his relationship with Ji Yu was merely about making do and getting by, but now it seemed their feelings for each other ran much deeper than he'd ever imagined.
"Yu, I swear I will never let you down," he declared earnestly in front of everyone.
This scene was a sharp blow to Song Xuan, leaving her on the verge of collapse.
"Why…"
Why had things turned out this way? She had been so certain of her victory, so sure that she and Gu Qixiao were destined to spend a lifetime together. Why, then, had someone come out of nowhere and stolen her place in his heart?
Ji Yu ignored her breakdown this time and instead asked Gu Qixiao if they could leave.
"Let's go." Gu Qixiao hadn't intended to stay there in the first place; the feelings between them had long since dwindled.
Even if they continued, there would be no outcome worth pursuing. Why drag it out any longer?
