Wang Jingshan cried intensely, clinging desperately to Shen Qiang's back.

Shen Qiang stopped in his tracks and said coldly, "Let go."

"I won't!" Wang Jingshan cried out. "Please, Shen Qiang, I know I was wrong. The person I love is you. Do you still remember our dreams back then? A small house, two children, facing the sea, with spring blossoms."

Shen Qiang took a deep breath and said, "I've forgotten all those old affairs. I now have a girlfriend, and you have a boyfriend. Hugging and embracing like this is unsightly. Let go, I have things to do."

Wang Jingshan cried, "Shen Qiang, please don't be like this. You used to pamper me the most. You gave me the best food, the best things, even when I was being unreasonable, you would take the blame."

Shen Qiang's face turned cold as he tried to pry her hands from his waist, "Let go, don't make me get physical."

"I won't!" declared Wang Jingshan, holding onto Shen Qiang. "I know I was wrong. Only after being with him did I realize that the one I've always loved is you!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang became furious. He forcefully shook off Wang Jingshan's hands and shouted, "Enough! What exactly do you want from me?"

"We were together for three years. I was sincere with you!"

"And you? You looked down on my hometown, thinking that going back there with me would lead to a dead-end life. Then you sent me a text message, telling me we weren't suitable, that I couldn't provide you with the happiness you wanted!"

"Fine!" Shen Qiang said sternly. "You wanted freedom, I gave it to you. You claimed to have the right to chase happiness, and I never argued with you!"

"I was wrong, Shen Qiang. Don't be like this," Wang Jingshan sobbed.

"How do you want me to be then!" Shen Qiang shouted in fury. "We were together for three years. I saved all my living expenses to buy you snacks, clothes, anything to make you happy!"

"But did you ever give me a chance?" Shen Qiang said. "One text message, one sentence, and you were with Zou Dong."

"Have you ever considered how I felt?"

"Do you still remember the street we loved the most? Since receiving your text message, I've not gone there once! Because I was afraid I'd remember you!"

"Because I was afraid I'd go soft, afraid I'd become weak!"

Looking at the angry Shen Qiang, Wang Jingshan burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Shen Qiang. I was wrong. Please, forgive me, will you?"

"Impossible," Shen Qiang said as he looked at Wang Jingshan. "I don't hate you, because you've shown me reality! No oath of eternal love can withstand the weight of money and material things."

Wang Jingshan cried out, "Shen Qiang, forgive my ignorance, please. I beg you, give me another chance."

"Stop dreaming," Shen Qiang said indifferently. "A broken mirror, even if put back together, will still have cracks. I won't give you a second chance to hurt me, never."

And with that,

Shen Qiang turned and left.

Wang Jingshan embraced Shen Qiang's legs, crying and sobbing, "Shen Qiang, don't do this, forgive me. In the past, no matter what wrong I did, you would always forgive me. Please, just give me one more chance, okay?"

Looking down at the tear-stained face of Wang Jingshan, Shen Qiang said dispassionately, "Don't make me despise you. The once me couldn't provide the happiness you wanted, so you got together with Zou Dong."

"I hold no grudges, for that was your choice. The me right now could give you the happiness you want, but you're out of my league now."

"And this is my choice."

Hearing this, Wang Jingshan embraced Shen Qiang's legs tighter and cried out, "Shen Qiang, please, don't be like this, don't leave me, I really know I was wrong."

True Qi surged within Shen Qiang.

He pushed her aside forcefully and said coldly, "Now you want me to give you a chance, but did you ever give me one? After one brief message, you wouldn't answer calls or reply to messages. And now you say you know you were wrong?"

Looking intently at the weeping Wang Jingshan, Shen Qiang said proudly, "Listen well, Wang Jingshan, the happiness you seek is to stay in Provincial City with a stable job."

"Because that was your choice, I, Shen Qiang, have no right to accuse you of whether it was right or wrong!"

"But I, Shen Qiang, will definitely become the best doctor in the world! The most successful wealthy man! This is my choice, my dream!"

"I, Shen Qiang, swear that I will achieve it!"

"And you, you will forever only be a spectator, there is no longer a place for you by my side in the journey of my life."

Looking at Shen Qiang's stern face, he turned and left.

Wang Jingshan screamed in agonizing pain: "Shen Qiang, if you abandon me, I'll die for you to see!"

Shen Qiang calmly turned around and smiled at her, "Die for me to see? The moment I received your text message, the woman I once deeply loved, my beloved, was already dead, now you are just a stranger."

"Feel free to die if you want!"

Having spoken, Shen Qiang smiled and turned around. It was not until he reached the floor below that tears filled the eyes of Shen Qiang, who fiercely punched the wall and roared, "His fingers must be reattached through surgery within twenty-four hours!"

"Don't let me remind you again that we are just strangers! And he can give you the life you want!"

Upstairs, upon hearing these words, Wang Jingshan burst into loud crying.

"Shen Qiang, don't go! You still have feelings for me, right, you still love me, right?"

Downstairs Shen Qiang, furious, let his vision blur with tears, and yelled, "Stop fucking dreaming! I, Shen Qiang, would rather die alone than ever want you again!"

Having spoken!

In the heartbreaking cries of Wang Jingshan, Shen Qiang turned and walked away.

Outside the gate of Da Di Fei Ge, he emerged from the police cordon.

Shen Qiang immediately saw Su Xiaonuan, who was waiting anxiously. Looking at Shen Qiang with slightly red eyes, Su Xiaonuan was astonished, "Shen Qiang, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "Nothing, I'm very good."

Su Xiaonuan said with a puzzled look, "I heard that girl upstairs begging for your forgiveness. Do you really have no feelings at all?"

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Are you trying to persuade me to turn back?"

Su Xiaonuan was taken aback and quickly shook her head, admonishing, "I'm not, it's just that I heard that girl crying so sadly, it's pitiable and tragic. She knows she's in the wrong now, but it seems there's no chance for her to turn back."

Shen Qiang chuckled and looked at Su Xiaonuan, "I like you."

Su Xiaonuan was startled, her eyes immediately lit up.

"What did you say?" Su Xiaonuan asked with a sly glint, coy and proud.

Shen Qiang coughed and said, "Since you didn't hear it, then forget it."

Su Xiaonuan became anxious and grabbed Shen Qiang, "No, you have to say it again."

Shen Qiang smiled, "You're really beautiful."

Su Xiaonuan blushed slightly and frowned, chiding, "Not that one, the one before."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brow, "I forgot."

Su Xiaonuan got angry and said, "Bastard, it was 'I like you'!"

Shen Qiang's eyes curved into a smile, and he nodded, "Mm, I know now."
