"Qiao Qiao, I'm not angry…" Lu Jinnian said calmly .  "This time, I just want to treat myself better . " 

All these years, in order to love you, I thought about you first, before myself .  

As time went by, I started to forget that I can hurt as well .  

In this world, there isn't anyone who would think for me, so this time, I just want to care for myself .

I don't want to jump right in just because I saw a hint of hope, only to end up in despair .  

"Yesterday in the elevator, whatever I said wasn't out of anger, those were heartfelt . I really don't wish to have anything to do with you anymore . " Lu Jinnian paused before adding resolutely, "So, Qiao Qiao, do go back to Beijing, don't waste your time here anymore . "

Lu Jinnian spoke seriously, allowing Qiao Anhao to understand that he wasn't angry at what happened, he was giving up on her .  

Anxiousness started to fill her heart . "But Lu Jinnian, you like me . . . You've liked me for thirteen years . . . " 

Her words brought him back to the time he was in the car and had sent her the message [I've loved you for thirteen years] . He was reminded of how despaired he had felt at that time .  

An unexplainable sorrow started to spread across his heart . He remained silent for a long while before saying, "Yes, I've loved you for thirteen years . But Qiao Qiao, do you know? Now I'm trying very hard to forget you . "

Cold numbness crept up Qiao Anhao's body, her heart tugged with a deep painful ache, and her body begun to tremble uncontrollably .  

What did he say?

He said that he was trying to forget her?

During the four months he was gone . she had always thought that when they finally reunited, it would be the start of her happiness . She had never expected it to be the end .  

Lu Jinnian noticed that she seemed to have been hurt by his words, staring at him blankly without responding .  

He couldn't help but feel pained inside as well when he saw her reaction . Lowering his lids, he said faintly, "I'll wait downstairs . "

He stood up and left the room .

When the door finally closed, Qiao Anhao snapped back to her senses . She blinked slightly, the tears streaming down her face uncontrollably .  

Lu Jinnian had actually said that he was trying to forget her . . . Qiao Anhao felt an immense pain that made even breathing difficult .  

She had no idea how she managed to leave his room and even less of a clue of how she managed to get down and enter the cab with Lu Jinnian . The entire time, her whole mind was filled with one single sentence .

She stared out the window . The more she repeated the sentence, the more her face whitened . In the end, it became as pale as a paper .  

Lu Jinnian turned towards the other window, his face impa.s.sive .  

When they finally reached the airport, Lu Jinnian paid and alighted first, heading to the other side to open the door for Qiao Anhao . She, on the other hand, remained in a daze, alighting from the cab as though on auto-pilot mode .  

"Qiao Qiao, I'm not angry…" Lu Jinnian said calmly .  "This time, I just want to treat myself better . "  . . .

All these years, in order to love you, I thought about you first, before myself .   .
