Feng Chengyue’s heart trembled. At this moment, she wanted to nod and say yes, say okay, say wherever you go, I’ll go with you, Mingyan, I only love you.

But through Qiu Mingyan’s shoulder, she could already see her father’s furious expression in the face of the stunned gazes of the affluent circle, his face turning pale and then red in an instant.

Not to mention her sister-in-law’s shocked gaze; her father, supported by the butler, was eager to stand up and call for attention.

So...

Clutching the bouquet tighter and tighter, Feng Chengyue was acutely aware of the security present at the wedding venue and how many people would stop her if she tried to run, and most importantly, looking at Qiu Mingyan’s sickly pale lips, his obviously weak body...

Things are no longer as they were; Qiu Mingyan’s sudden departure from the hospital and the difficulties they had arranged for...

Feng Chengyue almost crushed the stems into her palm.

With hot tears, she paused, barely squeezing out two words from her lips, "I can’t!"

In an instant, the hopeful look in Qiu Mingyan’s eyes seemed to crumble, trembling as he said, "Yue... Yu Yu, what... are you saying?"

Feng Chengyue bit her lip, "I said no! Qiu Mingyan! I made it very clear when we broke up. Your indecision disappointed me, and I don’t want to wait any longer. How long can a woman wait for a man in her lifetime? Besides, there’s that bond you can’t sever. I’m really fed up with sharing love with other women, so go back. Marry your fiancée, and I’ll marry mine. We have nothing to do with each other this lifetime. Moreover, you can see what family I come from. What right do you have to marry me?"

It was as if the sky suddenly turned completely dark.

The day Yu Yu left, vaguely guessing the day he lost his child, even then Qiu Mingyan had never been this despairing.

But when Yu Yu questioned him at this moment about what right he had, he truly hit rock bottom in despair.

It’s indescribable how much pain is in his heart.

Trembling, he repeated, "What right do I have..."

Feng Chengyue’s heart ached, unbearably so, yet she couldn’t shake her head, offering a single nod, "Yes! Qiu Mingyan, what do you have to offer? You’ve said it yourself that you have nothing now, didn’t you?"

Qiu Mingyan’s world felt like it was split by a lightning bolt.

In the dizziness of his body’s mild spasms, he nodded, wisely withdrawing his hand.

He paused, then looked around at the densely packed eyes watching as if enjoying a joke.

He nodded again, slipped the ring into his pocket, turned around, and walked away, calm and step by step...

His steps were too weak and too lonely, causing tears to flow from Feng Chengyue’s eyes layer after layer.

She deliberately spoke so harshly, just to make him realize that there must be something wrong with all of this.

But... when true love comes to harm, no one can escape.

Realizing that Qiu Mingyan’s visit might have lifted up all his self-esteem, and having just recovered from a serious illness and returned from the brink of death, he must be feeling different now than usual. He must be weaker than ever before in his life.

Feng Chengyue realized something, wanting to call out to Qiu Mingyan, but it was already too late. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Qiu Mingyan had already walked step by step to the doorway, leaning against the chapel doorframe, his body swaying slightly.

After pausing, he slowly left the chapel, and as he left, his silhouette was very quiet.

For the woman etched into his heart inside the chapel, his back trembled slightly, yet he did not look back again...
