Chu E’s mood suddenly became like the sun breaking through the clouds, instantly radiating brilliant light. She joyfully went to change, “Wait for me, I’ll be right down!”
Rummaging through her closet, she chose a black long coat, with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, paired with tight jeans. Thinking this, a smile involuntarily spread across her face. She put on knee-high boots, grabbed a white umbrella with purple flowers, and left.
The two of them booked a private room, and Yunzhi dismissed the waiter, gently lifting the teapot to brew tea for Chu’e. Chu’e watched the emerald green tea leaves slowly unfurl in the water, and said thoughtfully, “Yunzhi, do you have something to tell me?”
Yunzhi trembled, spilling some tea. He didn’t look at her, just smiled slightly.
“What happened?” Chu’e stared at him unblinkingly.
Yunzhi sighed dejectedly and finally said, “Xiao’e, let’s break up!”
A mouthful of tea choked in her throat, and Chu’e coughed desperately, her small face turning bright red. After calming down, she raised her head, her eyes sparkling, “What did you just say?
Yunzhi gave a bitter smile, “Xiao’e, I’m sorry…”
“Yunzhi, you’re not joking with me, are you?” She tried to maintain a smile, “It’s not April Fool’s Day today!”
Yunzhi looked at her painfully: “Xiao’e, I’m serious!”
The smile suddenly froze on her lips, “Why?”
Yunzhi smiled bitterly, “Xiao’e, as you suspected, Yun Hua doesn’t agree to divorce. If we continue like this, I’ll harm you and hold you back. So, let’s separate…”
“So you wanted to take me to see this movie, and you also want to continue in our next life?” She forced a smile at the corners of her mouth, with mist slowly rising in her eyes. Three days ago, he had promised they would be together, but after he left, there was no word from him. She never expected he would suggest breaking up! No wonder he wasn’t afraid of being seen together – he had already planned to break up!
Yunzhi raised his head bitterly, “I just want to find a way that will cause you less harm…”
