He paused from taking puffs and looked down before he took another long puff, like he wanted to torture himself this way .
Gu Yusheng had no idea how many cigarettes he had smoked . He only knew that he smoked almost every cigarette he had in his office . When he recovered his composure, there were cigarette butts in different lengths and a thick layer of ash around his feet .
It had grown dark outside . The weather was unbelievably nice that night, the round moon hanging in the sky and illuminating the dark night . Some of the lights on the city streets were bright, while others blinked .
What a brilliant and beautiful night view of the city!
He had planned to propose to her on this beautiful night .
It would have been a wonderful and unforgettable night with the surprise he had planned for her and such a beautiful view, but…
At this moment, this beautiful view suddenly seemed gloomy to Gu Yusheng .
No wonder she never used any gift he had given her; no wonder she had never spent a penny using the debit card he had given her; no wonder she had made excuses to turn down his suggestions to shop together .
He had even used tricks to test if she liked him . That night, she had asked him to take a shower and said the cologne on him stunk . He had thought she was jealous . Apparently, he had been overthinking it .
She had wanted to take advantage of him, but he had wanted to spend the rest of his life with her .
What irony!
Gu Yusheng curled up the corners of his mouth and smirked .
He never regretted falling for her . Even at this moment, when he heard what she said about him, he still didn't regret for falling for her .
It was fine if she didn't like him .
However, he couldn't accept the fact that she had lied and crushed his pride .
Thinking of it, Gu Yusheng forced his saliva down his throat . He noticed that his throat was so sore that it seemed to be on fire after smoking too much . His mouth tasted bitter, and his throat hurt .
The pain from the throat travelled to the far left part of his chest, which roared and rattled . It cut his heart into pieces and bled .
He was so hurt, realizing that love could not only make him happy, but also hurt him so badly .
He couldn't stay there any longer . He needed to go out and breath some fresh air .
Gu Yusheng thought about it and searched his cell phone and car keys out from the mess, then walked out of the office .
He didn't know where to go . He simply drove around the city without any destination in mind . He stopped at a red traffic light and continued driving when it turned green .
On the way, he passed the community that contained his house several times . Each time, he almost turned into the complex, but he drove away at the end .
He didn't know which road he was on, but he pumped the gas when it eventually ran out . He hit the break and gas alternately until his feet started to hurt, then parked the car on the sidewalk . He looked like a flattened balloon, resting on the steering wheel without moving even a bit .
…
At the grand and luxurious house, Qin Zhi'ai picked flowers from the garden that evening . They looked so fresh and beautiful in the dining room and smelled amazing, too .
The dining table was set with beautiful candle holders . Amazing food had been placed on the pretty plates .
Qin Zhi'ai quietly sat at the table, looking outside the window without even blinking . It was getting darker and darker outside .
She had been preparing dinner since three o'clock that afternoon, and she finally had everything ready at six thirty . Even though there was only two of them, she had cooked a full table of food .
