Zhuo Qianyun subconsciously stepped back until she reached the wall. There was no more room behind her.
His hands were pressed against the walls on either side of her body. It almost seemed as if she was imprisoned in his arms.
He leaned down gently, his breath spraying on her face while his cold voice rang in her ears. "Do you regret it?"
She shuddered, her long eyelashes covering her eyes. She had experienced too many things. Moments later, she looked up at him. "I just made the best choice for you and me."
"The best choice?" He looked at her mockingly. "Who are you to say you and me? Did you ask me? You arrogantly decided without even asking me!"
"I..." She paused.
He raised his fingers to her lips. "You know what? If you had said that you regretted it, maybe I would’ve said yes to your request and let Yan Qiongying off. Unfortunately, you missed the chance."
She met his eyes. "You wouldn't say yes to my request even if I did say I regretted it." It was because he was no longer the man who loved her. He would never agree so easily just because she said she regretted it.
After so many years, she understood how ruthless a man like him could be to someone he did not love.
Besides, she had hurt him.
"Who are you going to ask for help from if I refuse? Guo Xinli?" There was a hint of jealousy in his voice that he did not notice.
Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ye Wenming in surprise. "Why did you mention Brother Guo?"
He asked in reply, "What's the matter? Can't I mention him? Does he mean a lot to you? Zhuo Qianyun, how dare you? One moment, you're begging me, and the next moment, you came back with Guo Xinli."
