”I won't.”

Lu Shen's answer came quick and decisive, with no hint of hesitation in his dark eyes. Hui Yin gaped at him. Was he pretending? If he was, then he was definitely a better actor than her!

”You won't?” she echoed, incredulous.

”I won't.” His voice was firm.

Lu Shen knew himself. He wouldn't cheat on her. Or rather, he couldn't. There were no other girl that could make him feel such tumultuous emotions like she did. She was the only one in this world who could make him lose control, who could make him feel as if she was holding him in the palm of her hands. How could he cheat on her when he couldn't even find a girl as interesting and as vibrant as her during the past twenty-six years of his life?

Hui Yin didn't believe him.

Since her question was already answered in her past life, she didn't even know why she bothered to ask him. She picked up her purse and stood up. She said everything she needed to say, so now it was time for her to leave.

”Xiao Yin.”

Hui Yin didn't pause and continued on walking towards the door. Lu Shen continued sitting in his chair and didn't stop her, but his eyes were pitch-black as he gazed at her distant back.

Would the same thing happen in this life as well?

Hui Yin shook her head and exited the restaurant.

...

”Boss.”

A staccato cough informed Lu Shen that there was someone else beside him.

But he didn't say a word. He continued sitting there in a state of abject despondence, as if he was in a bubble wherein the rest of the word had faded away. After Hui Yin had left, Lu Shen spent the entire afternoon by himself inside the restaurant. Since he booked it for the whole day, the restaurant staff didn't disturb him.

Unknowingly, night had already fallen.

Error shifted from foot to foot as he waited for the boss to notice him. He had seen everything that had happened between the boss and Miss Hui that afternoon, so he knew that this wasn't the right time to bother him.

But he had important news to tell!

Lu Shen lowered his eyes and stared at the unfinished dishes on the table in front of him. She didn't even eat the abalone. Was this it then? Her decision left him with no choice but to use unscrupulous means to force her to be with him. Lu Shen didn't want to do it at first, but if it was the only way she could be by his side...
