Only now did he realize how little he knew about her, so shallow that her phone being off and her absence made it seem like she had completely disappeared from his world. No matter how hard he tried to find her, there was no trace of her message.
Thinking about this, tears began to flow again.
Actually, he hadn’t exactly lied to her.
His coldness was real, and his sensitive and fragile emotions were also real, especially when facing her.
Whenever he felt slightly undervalued, his throat would choke terribly, and his eyes would burn uncomfortably.
During the years of being her friend, he had been sad countless times, but he was just better at enduring.
He had never been soft since childhood, never showing weakness to anyone, yet he would drop everything in front of Shen Ran, magnifying his own flaws infinitely. Every time she coaxed and indulged him, meeting her gentle gaze, he was like an addict, wanting to stick to her every moment.
But he had been too clingy, and now she didn’t want him anymore…
Xu Cheng’an gritted his teeth and angrily smashed the wine bottle, shouting, “Liar!”
She had clearly promised to cherish him for a lifetime, said she would love him no matter what his personality, but how quickly she changed her mind!
Xu Cheng’an spent half the night on the rooftop, eventually returning home by himself.
He was just feeling irritable and wanting to cry, unable to contact Shen Ran, so he climbed up to get some air. He had absolutely no intention of ending his life.
He wasn’t stupid. They still had a marriage certificate, so how could she truly not want him?
He just wanted to clear his mind, reflect on his behavior in front of Shen Ran, correct his mistakes, maintain his strengths, and ensure such a situation would never happen again.
One time nearly cost him his life; if it happened again, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t truly end everything…
