The sunshine in Wucheng was slightly warm, and it gently fell on the man to add a sense of hazy feeling. He should have been a warm person, but what he said was so vicious and pierced his soft heart.

I took a deep breath and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

Gu Tingchen's low laughter came from the phone, "Sheng'er, we haven't seen each other for half a year. I have been treating my condition in the United States for the past six months. Now I have been under control and I dare to return to China. Have you ever thought about me?"

Gu Tingchen's mental instability was caused by Ye Wan. I knew that he had been fighting with another personality. I also understood in my heart that the mistakes he made in his personality were not considered healthy!

But understanding is understanding, I can never forgive me.

I will never let go of my guard against him in my life.

I said perfunctorily: "Oh, then congratulations."

At my place, you can see the warm smile on Gu Tingchen's face, like a big boy next door. He asked timidly on the phone: "Sheng'er, can I come and see you?"

His voice was cautious, and he made me feel sad in my heart. After all, he was the man I once loved the most.

I used to be sure that he was my whole life.

He can even sacrifice his life for me.

Such love is also reassuring and enviable.

But when did we get to where we are now?

There are too many forced things in life.

He loses because he has no choice but to lose.

He wanted to save me, and I left him.

Leaving him in a decisive way.

I sighed, concealed my helplessness towards the world, and sighed and said, "Tingchen, I will leave and return to Tongcheng later."

I called him Tingchen to forgive his past.

It is also letting go of myself.

It is a good end to this love.

Seeing that I called his name calmly, Gu Tingchen's low laughter came from the phone, and he was very happy.

"Sheng'er, thank you."

He understands what I mean.

"Yeah, I'm going to hang up."

He called me anxiously, "Sheng'er."

I clenched my phone and responded, "Hmm?"

He asked softly, "Did you ever love me?"

He still can't believe the fact that Xi Zhan and I are already in love together. No, Xi Zhan and I have parted ways!

I replied, "I loved it, that's all."

I have loved it but it has nothing to do with it.

I took the initiative to hang up the phone and asked Jing Yi to prepare for the car to return to the city. I didn't plan to go back to Tongcheng, I just coaxed him.

As soon as I returned to the city, Tan Wen brought me the two rings from the Xi family. When I was about to wear them, I saw the engagement ring on my middle finger.

This was what Xi Zhan personally put on for me.

There is no proposal, just a ring.

But even so, I was very happy at the beginning.

I took it down and threw it to Tan Wen, "Don't throw it away."

Tan Wen was stunned, "But the head of the family, this is..."

I interrupted him and said, "Don't throw it away."

It doesn't make sense to keep things from before.

Tan Wen took the ring and returned a book to me. He explained: "This is the book left by Mr. Xi in the Wushan Villa. Mr. Xi Wei asked me to bring it to you. He said it is worth the head of the family to see."

I looked at the title of the book in Tan Wen's hands—

"The Watcher in the Wheat Field"

This book looks a bit old.

I took the signature of Xi Zhan who opened the first page and saw the flowing water. The time was marked below, at the beginning of the 20th century.

This book was a book he owned when he was young.

There was a label mixed in the middle of the book. I didn't go through it anymore, but threw it to Jing Yi, "Put it in the apartment."

I don't know why Xi Wei gave me this book. Since he said I'm worth reading, I'll go through it when I have time and have nothing to do.

Jing Yi accompanied me back to Shi's villa. Not only my parents were there, but Shi Cheng was there too. My mother explained that he went home for the New Year.

He finally admitted that the Shi family was his home.

My dad was surprised to see me coming home, "Why did you suddenly arrive in Wucheng? There are three days left to be your 25th birthday, and that day is New Year's Eve. What are you planning to celebrate? Xi Zhan said to celebrate your birthday?"

In the eyes of my parents, Xi Zhan is a prospective son-in-law and my future husband. He needs to do anything about me personally.

Thinking of the cruelty of the man that day, my heart aches and my stomach feels faintly cramped. I lied and said perfunctorily: "Well, I plan to celebrate the New Year in Finland, and I can't celebrate the New Year with you then."

During the Chinese New Year, I don’t want them to know what happened between Xi Zhan and me, so I let them have a good New Year with peace of mind.

My mom asked uneasyly: "Will you go home after the New Year?"

My mother would be worried when I go home alone after the New Year, but Xi Zhan... I can't become a prospective son-in-law for her now.

She will worry more about me then.

I lied and said, "I'm very busy recently. The Xi family has a lot of work. I'll go home to visit you later after I'm done."

Shi Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly asked: "When will you get married? I have a good plan to save money for you!"

As soon as he asked, my parents looked at me in unison.

I tried hard to hold on to the scene and said, "Maybe next year, it depends on whether we are busy or not. Xi Zhan has always been very busy."

After dealing with all the problems, my parents let me go. I felt relieved and sat next to Shi Cheng and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

Shi Cheng's lack of interest answer: "As usual."

If it is always the case, it will definitely be unsatisfactory.

I didn't ask him about the matter between him and Song Yiran, but took out a check for him, "This is my New Year's wish for my parents. You can help me pass it to them later when I leave."

Shi Cheng nodded and took it. My stomach hurts more and more. I can't keep it here. I hurriedly got up and smiled at my busy parents in the kitchen and said, "Mom, I have some urgent matters to leave quickly."

My mother quickly came out to care and asked, "What's the matter so anxious? I don't even have time to have a meal. Sheng'er will leave after eating."

I endured the pain in my body and said, "It's an urgent matter in the company. I'll leave first. Mom, come and visit you when I have time after the New Year."

I hurriedly left Shi's villa and softened my body as soon as I arrived by the car. Jing Yi quickly supported me, "Head of the family."

I ordered with difficulty: "Help me in."

I don't want my parents to see me like this.

I always take care of my own things.

Jing Yi helped me into the car. I asked him for painkillers. It took him a long time to recover after drinking it. I reached out and wiped the sweat from my forehead and chuckled softly, "This kind of pain is better than death."

Tan Wen said that my uterus had been slightly damaged.

And that kick was kicked by Xi Zhan.

I know he didn't mean it.

He didn't know that I was the one in the arena.

But he stabbed that knife.

I turned my head and saw the book Tan Wenhua gave me. I picked it up and pulled out the bookmark and was stunned.

There are two lines of words written on it.
Chapter completed!
