"Go home, I'm going out soon," he said before his tall figure gradually vanished up the stairs.
Gu Lingsha's heart sank as the ache in her heart made her feel suffocated. She trembled for a moment, then lowered her gaze to hide the sorrow and gloom in her eyes. Unconsciously, her eyes turned hot with tears as she could not help but feel wronged.
"It's not that I'm not willing to let it go, Qi Lei. If you knew all the pain I've suffered, maybe you'll understand. Some grudges aren't that easy to let go of. You don't know about all the suffering that's been so hard to get over, and I don't blame you either. No matter what, your place in my heart has never changed."
