Yan Luoxi hadn't expected Zhou Guangtao to misunderstand her like this. It was clearly him and He Yufan who did those disgusting things, yet now he was preemptively playing the part of the wronged person. She breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she gripped her fists tightly; they looked pale under the sunlight.

Zhou Guangtao seemed to be persistently waiting for an answer, his teeth clenched so tight that the muscles in his jaw were taut with strain.

Yan Luoxi tried to control her emotions and thought back on the rumors she had started with Ran Xu before. She curled up the corners of her mouth disdainfully, "If you want to think like this, there's nothing I can do."

Zhou Guangtao felt as if a knife had stabbed his heart, causing him sharp pain that left him gasping for breath. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before trying to speak rationally, “I suggest you not sell the property. You've only just met this actor; you don’t know him well enough. If anything were to happen... at least you'll have somewhere to live.”

A bitter smile appeared on Yan Luoxi's lips as she saw Zhou Guangtao still cared for her, but it was precisely because of his concern that it hurt even more. She said coldly, "The depth of one’s feelings isn't proportional to the length of time they've known each other; we've known each other long enough, yet you still betrayed me!"

Her words struck Zhou Guangtao in a vulnerable spot, causing him to shudder. Yan Luoxi used this opportunity to take a step back and free herself from his grasp. She said decisively, "Brother Guangtao, this time we are truly parting ways. There will be no turning back for the rest of our lives."

Zhou Guangtao closed his eyes in despair and helplessness. It was as if he had been severely wounded; without thinking, he took several steps backward until he bumped into a table behind him. When he opened his eyes again, tears were welling up in them.

"Luoxi, the harm I've caused you is something I can never make amends for this lifetime. I will immediately take everything out of the house and transfer all assets from this company into your name," Yan Luoxi’s attitude appeared very resolute; there was nothing he could say to change her mind. He felt powerless, able only to give her everything he had in hopes that she would have a happy life.

"I said, I don't want anything from this company. I'm about to marry a big star and will have plenty of money. I don't care for your stuff."

Zhou Guangtao was stunned by Yan Luoxi's fierce and stern shouting.

Yan Luoxi bit her lip, swallowing the sorrow that threatened to spill out, "Brother Guangtao, stop thinking about giving me a share of the company. I don't want your things; they only remind me of painful memories from the past. I have to go now, take care of yourself."

"Luoxi!" Zhou Guangtao couldn't help but follow her and hugged her waist from behind, "I'm sorry, truly sorry."

Yan Luoxi could no longer hold back her sadness; tears rolled down her cheeks. She forcefully broke free from Zhou Guangtao's grasp and wiped her face hastily, "There’s nothing to be sorry for, our fate was just this long."

Liking someone is like growing long hair; it takes a very long time to grow beautiful hair, but cutting it off can be done with one swift motion.

Just as Zhou Guangtao was about to speak, there came knocking at the door. Yan Luoxi swallowed her bitter feelings and walked out of his office with her head down.

Her beautiful first love ended like that; a lifetime’s worth of emotions lost in the very beginning. But could it be rewritten No, then consider it as a gift from others, even if it consumes one's body and soul.

Yan Luoxi left her job with difficulty. The next day when she returned to her residence, Zhou Guangtao indeed took everything that belonged to him away. She was in no mood to face the damage; she hired a cleaner to tidy up the place then put it on sale掛牌出售.

Ran Xu's company took on three more advertisements for him, so he was too busy to accompany Yan Luoxi on her outings. However, she wasn't in a hurry.

In her current state, it was hard to say whether things were good or bad. She went around with a smile, becoming increasingly enthusiastic about shopping. Previously, she would check the price before buying anything, but now if she liked something, she would just swipe her card without hesitation.

Yan Luoxi laughed and joked loudly in front of Ran Xu, dressing more fashionably day by day and appearing happier than ever. Those who didn't know about their situation thought she was living a blissful life, but Ran Xu, who knew better, felt heartache seeing her this way.

Her actions clearly indicated an intentional emphasis, as if she wanted to use obvious happiness to highlight the absence of certain injuries.

More than ten years of feelings couldn't be wiped away so easily.

Yan Luoxi knew her current mental state wasn't healthy. But there was nothing else she could do; she had to fill herself with a chaotic lifestyle. Recently, she kept having dreams with disorganized content, but certain faces would keep reappearing: Li An, Zhou Guangtao, and He Yufan. They seemed to be clinging to her mind like octopuses, impossible to shake off.

Since Ran Xu couldn't accompany her on a trip for now, she needed to keep herself busy. She asked him for a high-end club's gym membership card; after exercising and sweating, maybe she could sleep better and stop thinking about those chaotic people and matters.

The second time Yan Luoxi went to the club for exercise, she happened to run into Li An. He was surrounded by men and women in designer sportswear and strutted arrogantly past her yoga group with an air of superiority.

Seeing the dazzlingly brilliant Li An from afar, Yan Luoxi quickly lowered her head. Fortunately, this demon didn't look her way once, ignoring her completely as he passed by.

After Li An and the others left, the group of infatuated women around Yan Luoxi sighed.

"Who is that man in the middle He's so stylish and attractive, it's too enchanting!" A woman gazed at Li An's retreating figure and praised him.

"Yes, I've never seen a man who looks this handsome and has such an imposing presence before!"

"This man is not your average person; he’s like bitter medicine coated with sugar, capable of killing people." A somewhat older woman said in a somber tone.

"Dying under the peony flowers makes one a romantic ghost even in death" Another woman giggled.

"Do you think it's pretend death There really was a girl who once jumped off a building to commit suicide for him, but he didn't even look at her."

"There’s actually such a thing! This shows how charismatic he is!" The women, when smitten, act as foolishly as simpletons.

"That doesn’t prove his charisma; it just proves that the girl was too stupid." The older woman sighed softly, seeming to be filled with regret and pity.

"I’m quite familiar with that girl. She actually had a childhood sweetheart who treated her very well, but after meeting this wealthy and handsome young master, she fell in love at first sight and eventually lost her life."Like Wolves, FerociousLuo An's dark pupils kept contracting. He didn't want to hear any more hurtful words from Yan Luoxi's cruel mouth. With a sudden movement, he grabbed her like an eagle seizing a...
