Chapter 437 - CLOSING OF THE DOOR (2/2)

”What do you want to talk about? Is it about work?”

”It's not about that,” Jiang Yue said. ”I—” he stopped, gazing down as if he was trying to gather strength. ”I want to break-up.”

Shen Yi Mu felt like he just had an auditory hallucination. So, he just laughed it off. ”Ah Yue, I don't think I heard you correctly.”

Jiang Yue raised his head and looked straight at him. ”Let's break-up.”

Shen Yi Mu could no longer laugh. He couldn't even tell Jiang Yue to stop with the prank. Because he could see in those apricot dark eyes that he was serious about what he said. He wanted to break-up with him.

Something just pierced his heart at that moment.

”Why?” he asked, his throat became extremely dry.

Jiang Yue looked out of the window, his eyes extremely distant. ”I'm just tired. I don't want to be in this kind of relationship anymore. Always afraid, always hiding. We couldn't even hold hands out in the open. These past ten years took a lot out of me. I can't continue on, Brother Mu.”

That pierced part of Shen Yi Mu's heart slowly widened as he listened. He stood up and kneeled in front of Jiang Yue. He held the other's hands. ”Ah Yue, it's my fault. I didn't do enough. I will do better from now on. I will go to my parents and tell them about our relationship. We will no longer hide our relationship. I will do everything you want me to. Just- just please don't leave me. Hmm?”

His voice cracked at the end. But he no longer cared anymore. All he could think of was to prevent Jiang Yue from leaving.

”It's not about that, Brother Mu.” Jiang Yue gazed down at him. ”I'm simply not happy anymore.”

Shen Yi Mu was frozen on the spot. He couldn't say anything back. The pain in his heart spread all over his body. It's like he was being torn into pieces. He was so stunned that he didn't even notice when Jiang Yue stood up.

”I will leave first. When I get back, I hope Mr. Shen would no longer be here.”

When the other was about to walk towards the door, Shen Yi Mu hurriedly stood up and hugged Jiang Yue from behind.

”Ah Yue, p-please… I- I don't want to break-up. I- I can't live without you. Ah Yue… Ah Yue…”

He could feel something wet flowing down his cheek and he knew that he must be bawling like a baby. But the pain in his heart was so overwhelming that he no longer cared what he looked like right now.

”Don't say that, Mr. Shen. There's still a child depending on you. You can't break down just because of someone like me.”

As Jiang Yue said that, he removed the arms surrounding him and continued walking towards the door.

Shen Yi Mu tried to catch him again but before he could, Jiang Yue already walked out of the door. And the sound of the door closing coincided with the breaking of his heart.

After that day, Jiang Yue completely disappeared from his life.
