Chapter 337: Chapter 227: Happy Breakup, I Wish You Happiness

"Really?"

Jiangg Yao instantly lunged toward the sofa, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Jiangg Ning hadn’t processed it yet. She stood stunned for a moment, then raised a hand to wipe the tears from her face. "Chen," she said, her voice hoarse, "if you can really be so magnanimous... that’s wonderful."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Jiangg Ning smiled through her tears.

’It seems a sincere apology really does work. If we had known, if we had just confessed cleanly from the start, we never would have ended up in this situation.’

’Seriously!’

’After all this, it looks like we were just playing ourselves the whole time.’

’Our shared boyfriend is so big-hearted. A heart like that could easily accommodate both of us...’

Jiangg Ning’s heart filled with gratitude. ’I have to make it up to him in the future,’ she thought, ’and never lie to Chen Yuan again.’

"I’m not lying to you. If I say you’re forgiven, you’re forgiven. And you’ve sincerely apologized," Chen Yuan said with a relieved smile. "Since things have already come to this, no amount of anger can change the past, right?"

"Right, right, right!" Yaoyao nodded emphatically and gave him a thumbs-up in admiration.

"The past can’t be undone, so we should be looking toward the future. You’ve explained all your choices and all the motives behind your deception. After hearing everything, all I can say is that people can’t handle matters concerning themselves objectively and rationally, especially when it’s their first time in a relationship."

He continued, "What’s more, many of your choices were born from your feelings for me. For instance, Jiangg Yao hiding the truth to get back together with me, or how you came up with that ’heartbeat game’ to decide the winner after you knew we had reconciled."

Hearing this, Jiangg Yao quickly affirmed, "Mhm! You can’t fake feelings like that. I knew it! I knew you could feel it, Young Master."

Her cheeks were flushed. The feeling of being understood and forgiven was so wonderful.

In that moment, she even felt a soft glow beginning to radiate from behind Chen Yuan.

’What an angelic heart he has.’

"As I was listening just now, I was quite surprised, Jiangg... I didn’t expect you to bow your head and admit your mistake so sincerely. I was very moved. Especially when you said that a first relationship is taken very seriously, that you were afraid it would affect your future perspective on love, and even your persistence in being yourself. It’s clear that everyone has realized the root of the problem."

"Yes! We’ve realized. Chen, I’m more and more impressed with you now. You’re far more rational than I am, and at such a young age, too. In the future... I’ll have to come to you for advice when I run into trouble." Jiangg Ning gently bit her lip, a warm, almost burning sensation spreading through her heart.

"While you two were reflecting these past two days, I was also thinking very seriously. In a way, you two shouldn’t bear all the blame. I’m also at fault."

Jiangg Ning: "???"

Jiangg Yao: "???"

They looked at each other, stunned.

’How... is Chen Yuan also at fault?’

’Is this some kind of "three-person confessional"? Suddenly, not only is no one shirking responsibility, but we’re all having this heart-to-heart, reviewing the whole incident, and even competing to admit fault?’

"My mistake was being so naive. I said I wanted to be in a serious relationship—I repeated that line so many times, but did I really live up to it? I gave my heart away so easily, to the wrong person. For that, I need to do some serious self-reflection!"

"People have to grow up. You can’t stay in an immature phase forever. A responsible man should be thoughtful enough not to get overly absorbed in one thing. But I poured all my energy into the relationship. I thought I really, truly loved my girlfriend."

"After all, she was the family I chose for myself."

"I used to think that loving someone meant giving it your all, holding nothing back, but now I see that’s not the case. I’m sorry, but I can’t consider the two of you separately right now, because I was always in love with one person, no matter how many personalities she had."

"Maybe I just took it all too seriously and forgot about so many other things. I should have realized sooner."

At this, Chen Yuan sighed.

The two sisters listened quietly, their expressions beginning to stiffen.

"In any case, after being down for a couple of days, it’s always time for a fresh start. Thank you both, Jiangg... Yaoyao. Thank you for being part of this stage of my growth. We all experienced this unforgettable relationship together."

"You both... taught me a lot."

"I think in my next relationship, when I meet the new ’her,’ I won’t make the same mistakes again."

Chen Yuan looked from left to right. Two identical faces were staring at him, and he seemed a little confused.

He added, "I’m really not angry anymore. I forgive you. I wish you both a good future. Alright! Meeting adjourned."

"What do you mean, ’when you meet the new her’?" Jiangg Yao asked with difficulty.

"Didn’t we say we could turn over a new leaf...? Does that mean you’re not giving us a chance...?" Jiangg Ning stared at Chen Yuan, her eyes pleading, the corners of her mouth drooping as if she were about to cry.

Instantly, a strange silence fell over the living room.

They waited for Chen Yuan’s answer.

"Turn over a new leaf? No need. When I decided to break up, I had already resolved to end this farce. The three of us don’t have to make such a mess of things anymore. From now on, let’s be strangers. It’s better to part on good terms."

"Don’t... Can I apologize again? I have an even deeper confession to make! Young Master."

"Strangers shouldn’t use such intimate nicknames, Ms. Jiangg. By the way, I plan on moving out of here. Out of sight, out of mind. We can all heal our wounds separately."

Chen Yuan stood up briskly. He went into his bedroom and brought out a suitcase and two large storage bags, placing them in the living room.

His expression was normal, his movements nimble.

It was as if he had rehearsed this very action countless times in his mind over the past two days.
