Gu Anjin’s tears flowed down, grateful for the chance to stay in his arms for so long.

"Brother Siqing, am I not good enough?" She tightly embraced the man’s waist.

If he truly wanted to make a clean break with her, she wouldn’t want to entangle.

But he’s always like this, rejecting her while forever giving her hope.

Making her think that he’s always hers.

"Sleep." After a while, she felt his large hand gently caress the back of her head, spending these days in this room.

"I want to go home." She didn’t let go, her voice filled with exhaustion.

"I told you, wait for me a few more days." Yue Siqing said softly.

"I wasn’t talking about London, I said I want to go home. Today it’s this Miss Sheng, tomorrow it could be someone else, you can’t leave me waiting until you’ve chosen the right person..."

Yue Siqing’s face suddenly fell, "I don’t want to hear these words from your mouth."

"Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? Yue Siqing, can I just give up on you..."

He looked at her coldly, "Just because of him?"

It could only be because of Song Yi from these few days.

Jinjin was never like this.

"It’s not about who it is, I’m truly tired now. Either you marry me, or let me go!"

She felt the temperature in his embrace drop suddenly.

"Brother Siqing." Gu Anjin lifted her head, meeting his sharp and deep eyes.

But the light that gradually cooled in his eyes made her feel a chill.

"Do you know why I have never given up on you all these years? Because I never believed you had no feelings for me; I believe in my own intuition." She spoke softly, word by word, "I believe that one day you will see, that you’re not the cold and heartless person you think you are. I can wait until you understand yourself, but I cannot wait until the end, seeing the result is..."

Gu Anjin pressed her lips together, "I’ve said everything, so whatever the outcome, manage it yourself."

Yue Siqing watched her let go, waited no night, and went directly to the bathroom.

He stood in place, his gloomy face slowly sinking.

The next day, when Gu Anjin awoke, she regretted what she said yesterday.

It was probably seeing him together with Sheng Wei that caused her too much shock.

Even now, she still believed that Yue Siqing couldn’t be without feelings for her.

The change his body went through when holding her, she felt it very clearly.

This wasn’t because of drugs; it was his own bodily reaction.

She covered her face with both hands and took a deep breath.

Just how long until he realizes that he’s also a normal person, capable of having emotions?

When she got up, she was about to call Song Yi back, since she had abruptly left yesterday with no explanation, which was rather improper.

But when she picked up her phone, she found there was no signal. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"What’s going on?"

She shook the phone in her hand.

Then she got out of bed, carrying the phone to every corner of the house, including the balcony, but found no signal anywhere.

When she went downstairs, she saw a servant serving breakfast in the dining room, "Why is there no signal?"

The servant gave her a furtive glance.

She realized she was being kept in confinement.

"I’m sorry, Miss Gu, I, I don’t know."

Gu Anjin felt something was off, staring at the servant, "Let me borrow your phone."

The servant looked troubled, but finally took out her phone.

Then Gu Anjin found that the servant’s phone also had no signal.
