I listened to her quietly, but not a single ripple stirred in my heart. Perhaps my heart was truly made of iron; even though I knew Xiao Wu’s betrayal was unavoidable, betrayal was still betrayal, and nothing could change that fact.
I remained silent for a long time before speaking softly: “No matter the reason, once water is spilled, it can never be gathered back.” I would sympathize with Xiao Wu, knowing she had no choice, but the life-and-death bond we once shared was gone.
“Young Miss, please rest well. I will take my leave!” She said nothing more, just looked at me respectfully and withdrew.
I stared at her departing back for a long time, an inexplicable sadness continuously welling up in my heart.
“Since I’ve always been alone, let me continue to be so!”
“I said to the air, tilting my head, the pain in my heart now feeling completely numb.
Just as she had walked out, Wei Luo, who had been standing at the door, slowly walked in.
“Who says you’re alone! From the moment you met me, Wei Luo, you were destined to stay by my side, always accompanying me. We will never be alone!” The soft voice behind me was like a spring breeze brushing across my lonely heart, continuously spreading warmth.
I turned to look at this man with all the world’s wealth. He had the ability and power to control the world, yet he deliberately stayed away from conflicts, unable to escape them, as if unwilling to be involved in worldly disputes but also unwilling to completely withdraw.
“Why did you bring her before me today? I don’t think it’s because of Wu Han,” I looked up at him, not refusing his embrace. I had been too lonely, too solitary for too long. Now that someone offered me warmth, I just wanted to eagerly absorb it.
Wei Luo looked at me with a light laugh, his brow showing doting: “I said as long as you’re happy! Actually, I know that no matter whether you forgive her in your heart, you ultimately cannot let go.” He spoke softly, his handsome face always wearing an unassailable confidence.
