Yu Sangwan was sure she hadn't misheard… He said it twice.

"Lu Jinxuan."

Yu Sangwan gripped her palms tightly, staring straight into his eyes. In fact, she could barely stand, but her proud self-esteem supported her, she couldn't fall.

"For what? Can you tell me why?"

A person who once swore never to leave her, even with an engagement kept it a secret, lied to her, coaxed her—why exactly did he want to break up with her?

Lu Jinxuan remained silent, unsure of how to explain.

"Speak up!"

Yu Sangwan became agitated, jumping off the bed, "Is it for Gong Xueyan? Do you have to get engaged to her? Everything you said, was it all lies to me? Saying you wouldn't marry her, was that a lie too?"

"No!"

How could Lu Jinxuan admit that this time he truly wanted to let her go?

"Then what exactly is it for? Ah!"

Yu Sangwan raised her hand and grabbed his collar tightly, her eyes already red, glaring up at him, "Why exactly? Tell me, what is it for! If not for Gong Xueyan, then who? Didn't you say you liked me, only me? Now you're actually saying you want to break up? You don't want me anymore?"

"It's…"

Lu Jinxuan closed his eyes and slowly began to speak.

"My fiancée…"

He didn't want to hide anything from Yu Sangwan.

"..."

Yu Sangwan fell silent, staring at him blankly, "Your fiancée?"

"Yes." Lu Jinxuan took out the antique lighter from his pocket, "Do you remember this?"

"..." Yu Sangwan glanced at it, her expression changing drastically.

This antique lighter, of course, she remembered! For this lighter, she and Lu Jinxuan almost parted ways! He had never been so harsh to her before… Because of this lighter, she rummaged through the trash in the back alley of the restaurant, only to receive a cautious 'thank you' from him.

She knew this lighter held great significance for Lu Jinxuan.

But later on, they fell in love. With not enough time, Yu Sangwan naturally forgot about it.

Why, was it suddenly being brought up again?

"This is?"

Lu Jinxuan nodded, sighed, "The reason I care so much and carry it with me is because… it was given to me by my fiancée."

"..." Yu Sangwan slowly released his collar, shaking her head, murmuring, "No, no…"

Lu Jinxuan couldn't bear to look at her, "Wanwan, I…"

"No!" Yu Sangwan suddenly looked up at him, shouting, "You lied to me! You said you never liked anyone… So, you didn't know how it feels to like someone, how could you now have such a deeply affectionate fiancée? You lied to me! Didn't you?"

Lu Jinxuan felt a knot in his throat, but he had to shake his head.

"No, I didn't lie to you. She means something different to me… When we parted, she was still very young, and indeed it wasn't love then, but she is my wife… That's what I've always thought since I was a child."

"Then where has she been all these years?"

Yu Sangwan couldn't accept this fact, her emotions almost out of control.

Shouting, "You've been apart for so long, why did she suddenly come back? What about me? What am I to you, exactly?"

"..."

Lu Jinxuan's thin lips moved, that sentence… I really love you… never got out.

It wasn't because of a lack of courage, but because he no longer had the right.

"Ah…"

Yu Sangwan cried out, crouching on the ground. Her slender fingers dug into her hair, muttering and shaking her head, "What should I do? What should I do…"

Lu Jinxuan looked at her, wanting to hold her with his raised hand, but withdrew it in the end. "Wanwan, I… am leaving, from now on we…" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"..." Yu Sangwan sniffed and suddenly stood up, looking at him.

"Don't speak." Yu Sangwan glared at him, a faint smile on her lips, "Listen, we've broken up. It was my decision, someone like you, what right do you have to abandon me? Lu Jinxuan, remember this… A man shouldn't casually say 'break up', since you've said it, have the courage to face the consequences!"

"..." Lu Jinxuan listened quietly, his heart filled with bitterness.

"I'm leaving, Mr. Lu, listen…" Yu Sangwan smiled, "We should never meet again in life or death! I hate you… forever."

After saying this, she walked past Lu Jinxuan towards the door.

"Wanwan." Lu Jinxuan reached out to stop her, "I promised your father to take care of you… In life, I will still…"

"Let go!"

Yu Sangwan, as if touched by something filthy, avoided him as if electrocuted, "How dare you say such things to me again? You broke your promise to a deceased person, Lu Jinxuan, do you believe in fate? Someone like you is bound to face retribution!"

She ran out, Lu Jinxuan stood there dumbfounded, his soul seemingly extracted, leaving only an empty shell…

It was late at night, Yu Sangwan driving fast on the quiet highway, oblivious.

However, her tears outpaced the speed of the car!

"Ah…"

The window was open, wind blowing in, Yu Sangwan cried out loud, the wind causing sharp pain on her cheeks.

In this state, an accident happened. An oncoming car appeared, Yu Sangwan swerved and hit the safety island.

The traffic accident was not considered serious.

Late at night in the hospital, Yu Sangwan had no one to accompany her, undergoing the checkup alone.

The doctor wrote a test slip for her, "Even though you seem fine, it wouldn't hurt to take a test! First, go outside and have some blood drawn…"

"Okay." Yu Sangwan couldn't sleep anyway, with nothing else to do, she took the slip, paid, and went to the emergency lab for a blood draw.

The emergency results came out quickly, and Yu Sangwan took them to show the doctor.

The doctor's expression was a bit complicated, "Are you really only 20 years old this year?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "Is there something broken?"

"..." The doctor was silent for a moment, "No, but… you seem to have other issues."

He paused and asked, "Does your family have a history of hereditary tumors?"

Tumors?

Yu Sangwan was stunned, Yu Zhiyuan definitely didn't have any… Mrs. Gong? She wasn't sure. But the implication of these words, she understood, "Doctor, do you mean… I might have a tumor?"

"Yes." The doctor pondered, "The test report shows your CEA, which stands for carcinoembryonic antigen, is high, and it's an indicator of tumors…"

"..."

Yu Sangwan suddenly panicked, she never expected that a minor car accident would lead to the discovery of such a disease in herself!

What's going on? Is heaven displeased with her?

Why torment her like this? Is she… going to die?
