They were not speaking loudly, but because of the silence, she could hear everything clearly.
His tone was absolutely cold, and Gu Lili felt like applauding and cheering him on, yes, keep that tone going, husband!
"Beibei, you are married."
Hearing He Meiwei say this, Gu Lili curled her lips, Beibei?
"So? Did you come here specially to give me a wedding gift because you heard I got married?"
He Meiwei sat opposite, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her complexion somewhat pale.
"No, I struggled for many days before coming here. Beibei, I shouldn’t have left you without saying a word."
"Just tell me the main point of why you came today."
Looking at her, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, Long Yubei felt a mix of emotions. This woman also once brought him a lot of joy.
To this day, he still didn’t know the reason they broke up because she didn’t mention it in the breakup letter.
She looked at his face, her nose souring, "I don’t want you to be with her."
"You have no right to say that, and besides, she and I are already together."
He Meiwei lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "I know I have no right, but I left without a word... I had no other choice."
"What reason?" he said, half smiling, "I want to hear what the reason was."
"I was seriously ill with kidney disease at the time, progressing to uremia. I’ve already had one kidney transplant, and the transplant is still rejecting, so I need to find another match."
Long Yubei, upon hearing this, became stern, "What...what did you say?"
"I said I left you because I didn’t want to burden you, Beibei, I’ve been missing you since we broke up. When I found out you got married, I almost collapsed. I wanted to find you but didn’t dare. Now I finally gathered the courage to come here. Beibei, do you still love me?"
In this moment, Long Yubei felt a mix of indescribable emotions.
He didn’t know what to say.
The air seemed to thin, unsure of how to answer her.
Eventually, he did answer, "No, I don’t."
The tears in her eyes grew more, slowly turning to uncontrollable crying. She reached out, covered her mouth and nose, and wept aloud.
Sitting at the stairwell, Gu Lili felt uncomfortable inside, both sympathizing with He Meiwei’s plight and extremely disliking her behavior.
At this moment, sitting there, she felt each second drag by, because she really wanted to hear what would happen next.
"You..." Long Yubei pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, "Stop crying."
She took it, wiped her eyes and nose, then threw it in the trash can, slowly got up and sat down next to him, "Beibei, do you still hate me, can’t you forgive me?"
"No, there was resentment before, not now."
If this was the reason she broke up with him, he could accept it, but time can’t be turned back.
"We had many beautiful memories together, and now you’re married to her just for your family’s sake, right? Not because you still love her. I think you are being rash in deciding your life, Beibei, you can’t do this." Read complete versıon only at NoveI★Fire.net
"I didn’t marry her on a whim." Considering her illness, Long Yubei didn’t want to provoke her and said gently, "While being with you, there indeed were many beautiful memories, but those are past now. I have a wife now, if you need help I’ll do what I can to assist you."
