?Chapter 698: Chapter 699: Goodbye (1)_1 Chapter 698: Chapter 699: Goodbye (1)_1 Liang Chen did not reach out for it, his gaze was locked onto Jing Haohao.
The woman’s demeanor and her tone of voice were equally calm, without a trace of waves, as if she was narrating the most ordinary thing in the world. She expressed neither sadness, sorrow, nor heartache…
That day, due to Shen Liangnian, his anger had forced her to make a choice, resulting in the cold war between the two. He was often caught off guard, with her image popping into his mind unexpectedly, and his mood would become unusually despondent. Later on, he even began to regret it.
Initially, he was very determined, but in the end, it was still him who couldn’t control it and began to slowly compromise.
Today, when he saw her return his bank card to him, he suddenly felt panicked, an indescribable sort of panic. He hastily ran to find her, only to discover she had already packed up his things.
He thought he was important to her, but now, he didn’t understand at all whether she had the slightest bit of feelings for him in her heart.
Liang Chen could feel a dull ache in his heart. He lowered his eyelids slightly, shifting his gaze from Jing Haohao’s face to the box. After a long while, he reached out to pull out his wallet from his pocket, extracting Jing Haohao’s bank card, then he removed Jing Haohao’s keys from his keychain.
His series of actions were neither hurried nor slow.
Jing Haohao held the box standing in front of him, watching his actions, she vaguely guessed what he was going to do, and she unconsciously lowered her head to avoid the sight.
The hallway was quiet, only interrupted by the crisp sound of the keys jingling.
A moment later, the hall fell completely silent again.
After a pause, Liang Chen presented Jing Haohao with her bank card and her house key but said nothing.
Jing Haohao looked at the two items and understood what he meant.
Yes, since she had returned his stuff, he would naturally return hers. Then they would sever ties, no more contact to speak of.
Jing Haohao lowered her eyelids and stood for a moment, then crouched down to place the box that held Liang Chen’s belongings next to his feet. She extended her hand and took the bank card and house key from the palm of his hand.
Liang Chen’s eyes never left Jing Haohao. He clearly saw her movements, smooth without a hint of hesitation. Her face remained calm, devoid of reluctance or sadness.
She indeed does not love him. All this while in their relationship, he had always been the one giving desperately while she had never asked for anything.
In the end, his feigned indifference was met with her genuine detachment.
She had clearly rejected him, but in that instant when his palm was empty, he found that he was still reluctant to let go.
He had always thought, by loving for both of them, their love could last forever. But now he realized, his one-sided love did not elicit reciprocation from her; he was shocked to discover his moment of exhaustion.
Liang Chen slowly lowered his hand and took a deep breath. He nodded slowly, managed a “Goodbye,” then left.
