Ultimate Goddess System 140 1.3.63: Can Never be Together

She fluttered her eyes open and saw blinding white. She realized that she was lying down and Xiao Yunhua grew puzzled. This didn't seem like the system...then the smell of antiseptic hit her nostrils. She snapped awake and noticed that she was in the hospital. 

Who saved me?

"I did." She realized that she had spoken out her question aloud. The voice was a velvety, deep voice full of concern. She turned her attention to the source and gasped in surprise. 

"Zhou Feng!?" She exclaimed in shock, not taking her eyes off of him. "Why—how did you save me?"

"I wanted to visit you, but only saw that your door was open. Then noticed that you were passed out so I called the ambulance and grabbed your bag with your things in it, just in case...No matter what complications you and my brother are experiencing, you shouldn't kill yourself over them!" He sounded angry and Xiao Yunhua was perplexed. He thought that she did such a thing because of her relationship with his brother? 

"Ridiculous..." she muttered, but loud enough to hear. "What do you think your brother and I—whatever," she massaged her temples and asked, "Why were you visiting?" She firmly asked, showing no emotions on her face. What was his motivates? She didn't believe that he was being friendly. 

"Just to check up on you..." his features softened and his handsome face contorted into worry. "With everything that had happened, I just wanted to make sure you're okay even if we aren't on the best terms."

Her eyes softened. She nodded but before he had the chance to answer, he snapped angrily, "I can't believe he caused you to do this. I'm gonna kill that bastard—"

"Zhou Feng." Her honey-colored eyes met his, "I don't need you to do anything. This had nothing to do with your brother." 

"I don't believe you... if it wasn't because you two broke up, then why would you try to do such a thing?" He didn't give her a chance to respond as he grabbed her hands in his, firmly. "I would never treat you like he did. I will treasure you, I will love you..." he took a deep breath, "Yunhua, marry me."

She was stunned as she tried to pull her hands away. "Zhou Feng, you're crazy! Let me go!" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Not until you answer me." She couldn't release his strong grip. She had martial art skills, but not strength. 

She shook her head, "No! That's my answer, now let me go!" 

It seemed like her answer triggered something in him because he became more frantic. "Why? Is it because of the accident? I told you, I had nothing to do with it."

"It's not—"

"Or is it my engagement? You don't have to worry, it was cancelled the moment Kang Yiyi was exposed of trying to do anything to you and going to jail."

"It's not that either—"

"Then tell me what is the reason! Yunhua, you should know how much I love you—"

"Enough!" With a sudden shift of strength, she pull her hands away. When he uttered the word 'love,' it made her uncomfortable. None of these people loved her... it was all a manipulation of the system. "It isn't those reasons either. Zhou Feng, we can never be together. Please... give it up." 

"But why! I don't understand why!" His arrogance as a Zhou young master was making it hard to understand why anyone, nonetheless a woman from a normal background, was rejecting him. 

'Taotao, can you give me the USB flash drive from long ago?'

"Zhou Feng, can you give me my bag?" She asked calmly. He was baffled about why she needed her bag in the middle of their argument, but he grabbed it for her anyways. She pulled out a flash drive and handed it to him. "This will explain why we can't be together."

"This flash drive?" He was perplexed. If she was going to reject him, he needed a better and more believable reason. 

"Yes, the contents on the flash drive... once you hear it, you'll understand." 

He didn't believe her, but once he saw the resolute look in her eyes, he felt like he needed to do as she says. "Fine." A bit unwillingly, he grabbed the flash drive and left her room, leaving her alone. 

Xiao Yunhua sighed in relief and her stomach starting aching in pain. She realized that since her attempt failed, her stomach has been giving her the sensation that she needed to vomit. And even drinking water made her uncomfortable. 

She cursed him for stopping her because now she was suffering in pain. Consumed in her thoughts, she snapped back into attention when the story burst open. 

A fuming Zhou Ming entered. His usual dark eyes were full of rage as he looked at her. "How could you be so irresponsible?" 

She flinched at his yells and averted her eyes in embarrassment. 

Great. Another person to think that she did that for him.

Not wanting him to see her weak, she activated her calming effect and glanced at him again. Even though she was collected, she still felt fear as if he could see right through her. "It's none of your business."

"Damn well it is! I didn't drop you off for you to pull a crazy stunt like this—"

"Zhou Ming... it really did not have anything to do with you. I feel empty and no longer have a purpose here anymore. It's time for me to go." Xiao Yunhua rolled her eyes at her words. He probably thought that she was insane. That she was probably suffering from some unknown illness...but it was the truth. She was done with this world. No she was not going succeed in her last target, but she didn't care. 

Too many toxic things have happened in this world and she just needed to move on.

"You... are you okay?" His voice was cold as always, but this time, it was laced with a bit of concern in her direction. 

Xiao Yunhua nodded, looking as genuine as she could muster. "I'm fine."

"No, you're not." She wasn't in the mood for his interrogation and coldly turned him away. 

"Zhou Ming, I thought we already established that we are strangers for the nth time. Please do not appear before me ever again. This cycle of turning each other away is unnecessarily petty." Her vision was starting to get blurry and she realized that she was going to cry. But Xiao Yunhua didn't permit her tears to fall and firmly told him to leave. 

His silence drove her crazy but when she realized the look in his eyes, she realized that this was it. He was no longer going to bother her anymore.

She was relieved.

The system was not.

Hence why her heart squeezed in excruciating pain with every step he took until he was out of her sight.

Be it Zhou Feng or Zhou Ming... Xiao Yunhua knew that they could never be together.
