”You will end it with him, and I don't wish to ever see you in the future.” Liang Ju-Long turned to look at her. ”You will leave him immediately with me and never show your face before him again.”

”Fine! I get that you don't like me or think I'm suitable! You don't have to!

”In fact you don't ever have to see me again, but I won't end it with him and leave him. I love Jian.” Chang yelled, if she hadn't been restrained by the guard she might have gotten in the aloof man's face. As she yelled that she realized she had never told him that
