"What I owed you, I have repaid. From now on, let’s each go our own way."
"No, I do not agree to break up." Ah Chuan interrupted Luo Qi hastily, "It was my fault before. I promise it won’t happen again. Can you give me another chance?"
"I have given you chances.....that time in the hospital, I asked you if you thought it was my doing, you didn’t trust me."
Meeting Ah Chuan’s self-blaming gaze, Luo Qi gave a self-mocking smile, "I don’t blame you. A relationship born out of a one-night stand is absurd to begin with."
An absurd night, an absurd love, even the breakup is absurd.
"Fortunately we never got married, and I never had a child. Our lives won’t be forcibly tied together in the future. That’s something to be happy about."
Child, hearing this word, a pain appeared in Ah Chuan’s eyes.
He feels such pain just at the thought. Isn’t her pain at least a hundred times worse than his?
He doesn’t know how she has been managing to get through all this.
"I’m sorry." Ah Chuan hugged Luo Qi, burying his head in her hair, "It was all my fault, give me a chance to make amends."
As Luo Qi was about to push him away, he voluntarily let her go, stepped back slightly, and took out a ring from his pocket.
He kneeled on one knee before Luo Qi, holding out the ring with both hands, "Xiao Qi, will you marry me?"
Luo Qi wanted to laugh, and then she really did laugh.
"What is this? Marriage as compensation? Do you think I really care?" She harshly pushed it away.
The red box was hit to the side by her, and the diamond ring fell out.
Ah Chuan lowered his gaze, he didn’t dare look at Luo Qi, afraid to see despair there, and more afraid to see her sadness.
The previous emotional trauma had already left an indelible scar on Luo Qi’s heart.
It had barely healed, and he cut her again. Ah Chuan didn’t know how long it would take for her to heal this time.
"Why don’t you talk? Do you have nothing to say?" Luo Qi demanded.
"I really want to marry you, from the very beginning" Ah Chuan responded weakly.
His heart had never changed. Even when Qingli showed up, he never thought of breaking up with her.
It’s just because the person he had a crush on suddenly appears in front of him, and his dry heart stirs, that’s why he committed an unforgivable mistake.
"Don’t make me laugh, your initial choice of me was just because of your loneliness. Now that the person you truly love is back, why should you settle for less and reluctantly marry me?"
"If it’s because you feel guilty, there’s no need. It was me who owed you. I deserve it. I don’t need your pity, much less your compensation."
"It’s not guilt, it’s not compensation, I really like you, I want to marry you." Ah Chuan stood up, seized Luo Qi’s shoulders, and shook her violently.
He wanted to shake her awake so that she would stop saying things he didn’t want to hear.
"Enough, stop talking, even if you really like me, I don’t want to be with you anymore." She was very tired.
She was physically and mentally exhausted and had no energy to tangle with him any longer.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Ah Chuan suddenly looked inward, "You haven’t told your mom and brother about our breakup, have you? What if I burst in now and tell your mom we’ve broken up, do you think she would take it?"
Luo Qi’s mother has always felt that she is a burden to Luo Qi. If not for her, Luo Qi would not have suffered so much or put up with so much.
