Xiyan collapsed onto the coffee table.
With a crash, several empty wine bottles toppled over with her.
"But, An Ran, Ruge, do you know... even though he’s said such heartless words, I still want to see him... I still want to ask him why... I still cannot accept it..."
Why can he just say he doesn’t love anymore?
How can he say he doesn’t love anymore?
Elsewhere.
Ou Jue finished his shower and walked out wearing a bathrobe.
Is it an illusion? His room still carries the scent of that woman.
Frowning slightly, Ou Jue shook his damp hair, pulled the covers and got in bed, intending to switch off his phone.
At this mont, a past incident flashed through his mind.
It happened last year.
At that ti, Xia Zhiyun hadn’t woken up yet, and Xiyan was living alone in the rundown old house.
She once stayed ho sick and missed school, suddenly getting acute gastroenteritis.
In a daze, she dialed Ou Jue’s number.
However, Ou Jue was in a eting back then, and Chen, his assistant, didn’t pass her call but hung it up directly.
Usually, Ou Jue wouldn’t take calls during etings, determining whether to return calls based on Chen’s report afterward.
By the ti he finished the eting an hour later, the young girl was almost on the brink.
Since then, he’d never dared to switch off his phone.
Always maintaining a state where he could be reached by her.
Even during etings, he specifically instructed Chen.
To pass any call from Xia Xiyan to him imdiately, regardless of timing.
Recalling this, Ou Jue’s eyes deepened.
His attractive lips pressed lightly together, sliding his thumb across the screen.
Completely switched off.

Elsewhere, Xiyan, sowhat incoherent from drinking, suddenly started looking for her phone.
"Hey, where’s my phone..."
Why so dizzy, feeling like the whole world is spinning?
An Ran quickly helped her search, "Here, it’s here."
"Ah, found it." Xiyan giggled foolishly, clutching her phone, "I want to give Ou Jue a call... I’ll secretly tell you guys, Ou Jue once promised that his phone would always be on for . Whenever I wanted to find him, I could reach him anyti.
So, you see, I want to gamble a bit.
If I call him now, I wonder if he’ll pick up..."
Quietly made a decision.
If Ou Jue picks up, that ans he still cares about the past promise, doesn’t it?
Then she won’t give up so easily.
Ou Jue... will you answer?
Xiyan dialed the number.
The voice on the other end was chanical: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off..."
Xiyan froze.
He... turned off his phone.
All beliefs and obsessions, shattered in an instant.
A complete defeat.
Alright, alright.
It just ans he doesn’t love anymore.
Ou Jue truly is the big boss, always keeps his word.
Xiyan tilted her head back and laughed, yet why did her laughter bring tears?

The following day.
When Xiyan woke, she found herself already back in her bedroom.
Ling Chen was by her side, "Baby, you’re awake?"
Xia Zhiyun imdiately got up, "Is your stomach empty? Mom brewed porridge early for you to drink when you wake, I’ll get it!"
