Chapter 313: Chapter 321: Grow Old Together, Forget the World Beside the River (1)

Lu Niange lowered her head, then raised it again, looking into Jian Chenxi’s eyes with an exceptional calmness, her tone equally serene, "Xiaoxi, let’s end this."

Jian Chenxi’s eyes instantly widened as she stared into the depths of Lu Niange’s eyes, a hint of shock, a hint of disbelief crossing her face, "Niange... what did you say?"

Lu Niange didn’t speak. Under the characteristic lighting of the café, his face appeared ever more gentle and jade-like, emotions flowing like water. However, Jian Chenxi felt an overwhelming sense of dread. She reached out to grasp Lu Niange’s arm, her lips trembling as she asked again, "Niange... you’re joking, right?"

Lu Niange pulled his hand away from Jian Chenxi’s, his expression tinged with unmistakable exhaustion, "I’m not joking, Xiaoxi, let’s end it."

It was as if time had flowed backward, and Jian Chenxi thought back to many years ago, when Ling Momo discovered her affair with Lu Niange and silently fled to Lijiang, Yunnan alone. Back then, Lu Niange had spoken to her in the same manner.

The worries that had originated in Jian Chenxi’s heart now materialized once more. She became panicky and out of options; her only recourse was to clutch tightly at Lu Niange’s hand as if holding onto the man himself, her voice disordered and shivering, "Niange, what did I do wrong that you want to break up with me?"

Lu Niange slightly blinked and suddenly extended his hand to remove the ring he was wearing, the same design as Jian Chenxi’s, "Xiaoxi, I’m sorry, I can’t be with you anymore."

After a pause, Lu Niange stretched out his hand, offering the ring to Jian Chenxi.

Jian Chenxi shook her head, refusing to take it, "Niange, I don’t want to break up!"

"We’ve always been good together, so why do you suddenly want to break up with me?" Jian Chenxi’s gaze was intense as she looked at Lu Niange, "Tell me, what have I done to displease you, to make you unhappy? I’ll change, okay?"

Lu Niange began to smile, his voice sounding so gentle, as if whispering sweet nothings between lovers, he said, "Xiaoxi, it’s not you, you’re really good, truly good..."

No matter how cunning or scheming she was, he knew that aside from the time when Lu Niange had lost his memory and she had deceived him into believing she was his girlfriend, Jian Chenxi had done nothing to wrong him, Lu Niange.

Perhaps, Jian Chenxi had indeed wronged Ling Momo, but towards him, Lu Niange, she really couldn’t be faulted. There was nothing to criticize...

What is that saying?

When one person can’t forget another, it’s not necessarily because of how great the other person is, but rather because the new love isn’t good enough...

But Jian Chenxi was really good... However, no matter how good, it could not change anything. No matter how good, she still couldn’t be the one for him. No matter how good, it wouldn’t erase Ling Momo from the bottom of his heart...

He knew the problem lay within himself.

Humans, by nature, have a sense of cheapness; the easier something is to attain, the less one cares. The more unattainable, the more one stubbornly wants to chase.

Just like Chen Yixun’s lyrics, "What you can’t have is always causing unrest, those who are favored are fearless."

Especially now that he believed Ling Momo was mingling in the entertainment circle by sleeping with men, he found it increasingly difficult to continue with Jian Chenxi. Now that he saw her sitting alone on the curb of the broad street, that one thread in the bottom of his heart finally snapped!
