“I learned the lesson of love from my parents long ago – so-called love is just a momentary confusion. Humans are animals easily swayed by novelty. I learned this from my father. When the passion of love subsides, only sadness and pain remain. If one clings obsessively, that’s seeking death. My mother taught me this before she died!”
Ironically, he knew everything yet still sought his own destruction, wasting the bloody example his mother set before his eyes, stubbornly falling in love with her. Could it be that his mother’s passionate and tragic side had also been inherited by him?
“Seems like you’re very pessimistic about love,”
Ji Mengtang gave a bitter smile.
She had indeed guessed correctly – in his mind, love simply didn’t exist! He didn’t understand love, which is why he could be so cold-hearted and manipulate others’ destinies with an almost cruel calmness…
Fortunately, she hadn’t fallen in love with him, otherwise she would only be inviting suffering! She wanted to laugh triumphantly, but forcing a smile only made her chest hurt more.
Learning that he could never love anyone, she not only didn’t feel relieved, but instead felt an emptiness in her heart, as if no more enjoyment or happiness could fill that void…
Forget it! Thinking is useless, stop thinking.
She jumped out of bed wrapped in a blanket, pretending to be excited: “The weather is so nice, the sea is so blue, let’s go! I can’t wait to swim!”
Let them truly spend this last day with a relaxed mood!
Chapter Nine
Wrapping herself in the blanket, Guan Qiyi’s eyes were swollen like walnuts, yet she still couldn’t stop her heartache.
He had successfully deceived everyone, including her.
When the truth was revealed, her heart was in chaos and pain. She had no idea what to do next and had no way to face him.
The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She hurriedly picked up, happily discovering it was her closest friend.
At dusk, they walked hand in hand on the white beach of Nanwan; at night, they sat on the steps of a seaside wooden cabin admiring the brilliant starry sky; late at night, they were passionately entangled on the bed… Neither mentioned future plans, as if time had stopped for them in this moment.
