Wei Xi’er laughed bitterly in self-mockery. In this world, there would always be one rival against another. She had never thought that she would love a man so much. She even wondered if she would be the one who proposes Zhuang Li in the future since he was so passive… However, it wasn’t that Zhuang Li did not know how to take initiatives… She was filled with regret and sorrow. She shook her head gently. “You did not give these to me when I wanted them the most. What’s the point of giving them to me now? Zhuang Li, I cannot forgive you. I cannot lie to myself.” When she saw Zhuang Li now, she would think of the scene when he hugged Shen Sisi affectionately in the alley of the studio city. When she heard his voice, she would think of how he told Shen Sisi that he was only using Wei Xi’er for his benefits.
“Zhuang Li, it’s too late.” Wei Xi’er could not hold back her tears. She choked and said, “I’m sorry, it’s over.” After saying that, she covered her face and cried silently. Teardrops fell down and seeped out between her fingers. Her tears were as big as pearls.
Wei Xi’er did not dare to look at Zhuang Li. She was not sure what would his expression be like now. This man whom she had loved deeply. Would it be regret, pain, or resentment? Would he blame her for not giving him face and embarrassing him in public?
At this moment, Zhuang Li passed a tissue to Wei Xi’er and said, “Xi’er, don’t cry. You’re crying so much that my heart aches.” Zhuang Li’s voice was low and deep. He said affectionately, “It’s my fault. It’s fine that you won’t forgive me. If I can’t get your forgiveness for the first time, I’ll try a second time. If the second time doesn’t work, I’ll try a third time. I believe that one day, you’ll trust my sincerity and be with me again.”
Wei Xi’er completely broke down and cried, “Zhuang Li… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Don’t cry. You’ll not look pretty anymore if you cry.” Zhuang Li smiled. He wiped Wei Xi’er’s tears gently. “What are you apologizing for? You didn’t do anything wrong. You can reject my roses, but you shouldn’t reject my apology gift, alright?” He held Wei Xi’er’s hand and placed the “Eternal” pink diamond necklace in her palm. He smiled bitterly, “If you don’t take it, then no one will take the necklace that I spent so much effort to get.”
The “Eternal” necklace originally belonged to a collector. Zhuang Li must have put in a lot of effort to get it, The collector was rich, so moeny wouln’t be able to move him.
Wei Xi’er gripped the edge of the box tightly. Her fingers were a little pale. She couldn’t decide whether she should accept it.
“Alright, I’m here to apologize, not to burden you.” Zhuang Li smiled and wiped away the tears at the corner of Wei Xi’er’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “I’ll prove my sincerity. If you’re willing to see me, I’ll be very happy. I’ll stop disturbing you. If there’s anything, remember to call me.” His eyes were filled with love as he said that. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Wei Xi’er’s forehead. “Xi’er, you have to be happy. Be good. I will leave first.” After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation. His figure looked somewhat lonely and pitiful.
Wei Xi’er subconsciously stood up. Her heart ached so much that she almost called out Zhuang Li to stop him.
“Miss Wei.” Shen Hanxing stopped smiling. She stood up and grabbed Wei Xi’er’s arm. Her voice was gentle and firm as she said, “Since Zhuang Li has left, let’s sit down and continue our conversation.”
“Mrs. Ji, I…” Wei Xi’er opened her mouth. After a moment, she sat down on the chair dejectedly. She stared at the necklace in her hand and smiled bitterly, “Am I too disappointing?” Zhuang Li betrayed her. He was the one who had an impure motive and cheated on her. However, she could not let him go. She was about to forgive him so easily. Wei Xi’er thought to herself, ‘Could it be that Zhuang Li did not know how to love? Perhaps he did that because he didn’t feel how much she had loved him.
“Cheating is cheating, Miss Wei.” Shen Hanxing frowned. “How do you know that Zhuang Li didn’t fake his current actions now? If you get back with him again, can you trust him wholeheartedly?”
She did not need an answer. Wei Xi’er knew that she could not trust him again. She would be paranoid and desperately try to prove Zhuang Li’s love for her. Then, they would torture each other in this relationship. She would slowly lose her identity.
