"I have no intention of going back, and I don't want to return, so please... don't misunderstand," Duan Yanran said, noticeably pausing on the last two words, her head bowed low, a look of discomfort on her face.
She was afraid that Ling Tianyu would misunderstand, especially since she chose to leave. If she were to return now, wouldn't that be a betrayal of everything Ling Tianyu had done for her?
Giving her money, and handing over such a large real estate company to her—if she truly returned, all that he had done would be a thing of the past.
Once she returned, she would acknowledge she was still part of the Duan Family, and all the money and the company would belong to the Duan Family. How would that be any different from deceiving him?
Duan Yanran did not want Ling Tianyu to think this way, nor did she want him to believe it. He could do everything for her, and she could do the same for him.
