The President is Being Shameless Again

Yu Zi’s felt a choke in her throat. She had never expected both of them would end up this way. They could not even stay friends even after breaking up, and probably would never see each other until the day they die. This felt worse than being strangers with one another.

”Yu Zi, I wish you happiness. I hope he can achieve whatever I couldn’t and take very good care of you. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t able to protect you. I couldn’t keep my promise,” Yue Jingchen sniffled and looked at the woman across from him intensely, not even blinking his eyes.

He would not be able to look at her this way again after today.

This was a woman he had loved for six years, and suddenly, she no longer belonged to him.

It was something that Yue Jingchen still could not accept even until today.

However, he would need to accept this reality.

Yu Zi did not say anything else. She did not even say that she wished Yue Jingchen would be able to find his own happiness.

Of course, she wished for him to be happy and to let go of his past.

But his parents…

It would sound a little ironic if Yu Zi wished him happiness.

Yue Jingchen’s noticed something and the corners of his lips twitched. ”He’s here. He’s picking you up, right?”

Yu Zi turned her head at his words and saw Yan Huaian standing outside the café. He did not enter. It looked like he wanted to give her some space to talk to Yue Jingchen.

Considerate as always.

Yu Zi saw Yan Huaian and a warm smile appeared on her face.

The smile was so warm that it nearly blinded Yue Jingchen. There was a bitterness in his heart as he realized that with Yan Huaian around, there would never be a chance for him to be with Yu Zi.

Yu Zi turned back toward him and Yue Jingchen said, ”There’s nothing else I’d like to say. Go home with him. I’d like to sit here for a while longer.”

Yu Zi nodded. ”I’ll… Take my leave then.”

She took one last look at Yue Jingchen. A part of her was unwilling to let him go. It was not because she still loved him but for the past six years, she had loved him whole-heartedly. He was the young man who had accompanied her throughout her youth.

It was an unwillingness to let go of the past and the memories, an unwillingness to let go of a friendship and a connection.

Yu Zi sighed quietly. She made the decision to dismiss her unwillingness and turned to leave.

When she walked out of the café, Yan Huaian was standing where the evening light was shining on him. It looked like he was being surrounded by a soft golden-red light.

He gave Yu Zi a warm smiled when he saw her. His eyes were filled with love and acceptance for her.

He reached his hands out to her and Yu Zi placed her hand in his. She took the initiative to explain, ”He came here to apologize to me. We’ll never see each other again.”

Yan Huaian nodded. ”Let’s go. Let’s go home.”

Yu Zi followed Yan Huaian towards the carpark. Their shadows leaned on each other as their silhouette stretched longer as they walked away.

There was a quiet, happy atmosphere between them as the people bustled noisily around them.

Yu Zi turned to look at the tall, reliable man next to her. Her lips could not help but curve up into a smile.

She felt safe whenever she was with him. She wanted to always be with him from here onwards.

There were no second thoughts about getting married to him. No confusion or worry.

Yu Zi lowered her head to look at their holding hands. She held on tighter and her other hand slid into his arms. She snuggled closer to him intimately.

She had lost the love of her youth. What she gained in return, was an enduring, warm companionship.

With him around, there were no longer any regrets.

Her heart was filled with ease and comfort. There was a quiet sense of contentment as her heart moved for him.

Yue Jingchen walked out of the café slowly and watched them walk further and further away. They looked so compatible, so meant for each other.

Just like that, Yu Zi walked further and further away from his life.

Who would have thought that she would end up spending the rest of her life with another man?

Yue Jingchen looked away only after they got into the car. He quietly turned away and walked off.

Only he knew how much his heart hurt.

-The End –
