'I really made the wrong decision. I should have told her from the start instead of dragging it out.'
'But at first, I didn't trust her. It didn't seem necessary. She was just a wife by contract—not even a real wife.'
'Then, as time went on, I fell for her... and I grew scared. Scared she would divorce me... scared she would look at me with this kind of decisiveness.'
Every one of her expressions was like a needle pricking his eyes.
But he couldn't change what had already happened. All he could do was try his best to make up for it in the future.
'Even though this is all a mess, at least I know I have a place in her heart. That's enough.'
Knowing she had "a bit of a good impression" of him, Lu Shijing felt his efforts hadn't been in vain. In fact, once it sank in, he even felt a little hopeful.
Gu Shengsheng, on the other hand, had no idea he had interpreted her farewell words in such a way.
However, the two didn't get much time to talk.
