Fu Jing looked at Su Shen with urgency and asked, "Did something happen to you? Was there a hidden reason you had to leave?"
Su Shen's expression stiffened. As he faced Fu Jing's eager countenance, he opened his mouth but no words came out.
Gu Dai, Su Ting, and Fu Chuan, observing Su Shen's demeanor, understood that his departure had been intentional and there wasn't an unavoidable reason behind it.
Fu Jing also started to suspect the truth, feeling a dense pain in her heart, but she was unwilling to accept it. Her gaze fixed on Su Shen, she demanded, "Tell me, you must explain the reason why you had to leave back then!"
Su Shen lowered his head and said quietly, "Fu Jing, I'm sorry."
"You, what do you mean?" Fu Jing stammered.
Su Shen spoke in a muffled voice, "If I could go back to that time, I wouldn't involve you in a fleeting joy, wasting your life."
Fu Jing appeared dazed. "So, you never intended to have a future with me?"
