Gu Jiayin took a deep breath and forcefully shook off Chi Ye's hand, casually rubbing her wrist that had been painfully squeezed, "Why we love Pei Nianchen, and why our feelings remain so strong over the years, neither you nor Sheng Qianchi would understand, so..."
She looked at him and clearly articulated each word, "You can't have Xiya."
He couldn't have her.
These words pierced deep into his soul once again.
Back when he was a thug, he couldn't have her, and now, even though he wields power, he still can't have her.
He wanted to ask, how could he ever be worthy of her?
However, Gu Jiayin had already turned around, gracefully walking away.
He watched her back, feeling an indescribable emptiness.
Gu Jiayin kept walking, still pondering how to get back to the city. At the intersection, she saw the taxi that had brought her here, waiting quietly.
Seeing her, the driver respectfully opened the car door, "Miss Gu, please."
