?Chapter 688: Chapter 689 Regret (1)_1 Chapter 688: Chapter 689 Regret (1)_1 A faint sourness pooled at the bottom of Liang Chen’s eyes. He slowly looked away, opened the door, and walked out.
Jing Haohao slightly turned her head, watching Liang Chen’s retreating figure. She longed to stand up, to wrap her arms around his waist, to make him stay.
In their love, she has always lacked confidence. She always felt unworthy of him. From the moment she realized her feelings for him, she strived to make herself brave.
However, the words he just blurted out annihilated all the courage she had painstakingly built up over these days.
Trying to clench her hand resting on the table to gather some strength, she found her whole body seemed locked, unable to move at all.
In the depths of her heart, she had always been unsure about their love, and even when she first realized she was in love with him, she was also readying herself for a breakup.
Yet, even after making all these preparations, why was there such a deep sense of despair and pain in her heart now when they were breaking up?
This pain was even more desperate than when she lost Shen Liangnian, even more lethal than when she found out about Shen Liangnian’s infidelity.
She was devastated.
And she didn’t even know where she went wrong.
She really wanted to ask him: He knew about her past with Shen Liangnian, he knew she had loved him, then why did he entangle himself with her?
In their relationship, she was never the one to initiate the entanglement.
She also wanted to ask him: If he detested her past, why did he start a relationship with her? Why was he so kind to her…
Jing Haohao never thought that she could reproach a man just like a resentful woman deep down in her bones.
But then, what’s the point of asking?
The meaning in his words was so clear that he was simply showing his disdain for her…
Jing Haohao cast her gaze downwards, silently sitting in her chair. She could feel Liang Chen hesitating for a long time before slowly closing the door as he took one last look at her.
A click echoed in the room as it fell into complete silence.
Not too long ago, this room was filled with scenes of their intimate entanglement, but now, it had turned into this scene of separation.
Jing Haohao felt a faint chill creeping into her heart. She gazed at the seat where Liang Chen had recently been, before she softly whispered, “I thought you understood everything I did.”
She truly thought he understood.
She journeyed a thousand miles to Shanghai, to find him. She alone went to the hospital to remove the intrauterine device. She persistently called him when she couldn’t find him…
But she never expected that all she received in return was his disbelief.
While Liang Chen was present, she did not shed a single tear. Now that he was gone, she finally allowed her tears to fall freely.
It turns out that the deepest wound in the world is not betrayal or dislike, but the sudden estrangement and indifference after the peak of deep love.
…
The winter noon sun, bright and warm.
Yet, Liang Chen felt a piercing chill. He had no idea what his state of mind was as he watched the elevator’s red numbers counting down to the first floor, one by one.
He also didn’t know how he managed to muster the strength to take steps out of Jing Haohao’s apartment complex, one heavy step at a time.
