"I know you've had a really hard time lately, which is why I decided to be honest with you. But now, I'm truly left with no choice—I can't stay with you anymore." Ji Yu had already said everything she wanted deep down, fully aware that the situation before her might be dire, but this was the only possible outcome.
"Gu Qixiao, you'll understand why I made this decision, right?"
She actually didn't want things to end up this terrible.
Gu Qixiao's heart was in complete turmoil; he didn't know how to stop her.
He only knew the circumstances had indeed reached a dead end. Opting for any other path would only make things worse for the both of them.
"Of course, I can understand your reasoning. Besides, I'm about to die soon anyway. I never planned to drag you down for a lifetime. If I do die, you should completely forget about me. That way, there will be nothing left between us."
Gu Qixiao sometimes even thought that perhaps his death might be the best outcome.
