”Jiang Jun, you'd better let me go--”
Let her go? How could this be? He shouldn't even think about it in this life.
Jiang Jia Han picked up the two divorce agreements, casually flipped through them: ”In that case, I'll think about it again, but I have an important meeting to attend, and I'll contact you when I have time.”
With that, Jiang Jia Han left with big strides. An Ning stood up and shouted: ”Jiang Jia Han, stop right there!” But the cold had gone.
An Ning dispiritedly sat down. She had just tried hard to control her emotions, but now she could no longer do so. Tears welled up in her eyes.
An Ning's crying was like a silent narration. She quietly sat on the spot. She didn't like to cry, as crying was a sign of weakness to her.
She, who was usually strong, suddenly collapsed at this moment. Jiang Xian took away her divorce agreement, what was this? She had asked him many times what he thought of her.
But Jiang Xianxian never gave her an answer. What did his previous actions count for? In this world, there were thousands and thousands of women who wanted to stick close to him, so how could he possibly be lacking compared to her?
It was as if she was holding in a breath, unable to breathe in new air and unable to exhale old carbon dioxide. An Ning's hand was tightly pressed against her chest, relieving the pain and depression in her chest that she was unable to release.
She cried more and more, and fell to the table.
”An Ning?” Just as An Ning was crying uncontrollably, she heard a familiar voice.
An Ning raised her head. In between, Xu Wang, who was dressed in formal attire and carrying a briefcase, looked over. ”It really is you.”
Then, Xu Wang ordered the people beside him, ”You can go back first. I have some matters to attend to first.” Seeing Xu Wang, An Ning hurriedly wiped the tears off his face with a piece of paper.
”What's wrong?” As soon as the concerned voice left his mouth, An Ning's tears surged even more. Xu Wang hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe her down, ”An Ning, what's wrong with you?”
Just as Xu Wang reached out his hand, An Ning grabbed his wrist. ”Xu, I feel terrible — my heart hurts.” An Ran cried as he pounded his chest.
In Xu Wang's memories, An Ning had always been independent and strong. To lose control of her body like this was unbearable and something he had never seen before.
In the past, no matter how hard An Ning's stepsister tried to make things difficult for her, she would never utter a word.
He really wanted to know why An Ning was feeling so bad. However, he knew that if she kept mentioning this matter, it would only make her feel worse.
”Alright, I've cried before. Look at you now. You're so ugly, your makeup is all spent. Look at all the people in this coffee shop, they're all looking at you.”
As expected, An Ning looked around. Everyone in the coffee shop was looking at her from time to time. How could she let so many people see her weak appearance?
Xu Wang pulled An Ning up. ”Let's go. It's too dark in the coffee shop, so it's too oppressive. Let's go to a good place with a beautiful scenery.”
An Ning let Xu Wang pull her. Unknowingly, she had already returned to their old school.
Due to her work and her busy family, An Ning hadn't had the time to properly return to school after graduation to take a look. Just like before, she and Xu Wang wandered along the tree-lined path within the campus.
They still had the same faces, but they were no longer in the same frame of mind. Time had changed them, but they were powerless to change the flow of time.
In order to make the atmosphere less depressing, Xu Wei began to ease the atmosphere.
