“It’s better than watching you stay together with Nian Junting,” he said suddenly.

Luosang was stunned. She thought she had misheard him. “Yi Jing, you are the sole reason why we are like this today.”

“Do you think that I wanted things to turn out this way? Falling in love with you wasn’t part of the plan. I just wanted to get revenge on your dad. Luosang, I don’t want you to leave me. This is my way of keeping you by my side,” Yi Jingxi said almost cruelly. “I was wrong, Luosang. I shouldn’t have used Zhong Yi to make you jealous. I know I can’t undo what I did.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I thought you were in love with Zhong Yi.” Luosang was in disbelief.

“I never loved her. How could I love a woman like her?” Yi Jingxi didn’t bother to hide his disgust.

“I don’t understand you. I don’t understand you at all. You are sick in the head,” Luosang said angrily. “You pushed me to the edge just to tell me that you love me. I’d rather not have anything to do with you if it means this sort of treatment.” Luosang shuddered at the thought. She hung up the phone immediately.

...

In the dark room, Yi Jingxi looked at his phone screen in a daze. The call had lasted for two minutes and 20 seconds. Everything she said was like a blow to his heart. He had finally admitted his love for her. She reacted to his affection as if it were something despicable. Why wasn’t she going back to him?

He downed the glass of wine in one gulp. Zeng Zhun walked into the room, snatched his glass, and threw it to the side. “Kang Ying called. She said that you cheated her. Didn’t you agree that you would only implicate Luosang in this matter? How can you drag Shengting into the picture as well? Yu Wen is extremely displeased with you.”

“Tell them I didn’t mean to.” Yi Jingxi stood up and yelled, “Who knows where on earth Nian Junting is? I expected him to have a contingency plan by now, but he’s nowhere to be seen. It’s not my fault that his shareholders and board members are in a state of panic right now.

“Whose fault is it, then? You were the one who antagonized Shengting in the first place.”

Zeng Zhun was frustrated, too. “Shengting is in trouble now. Do you think the Yi Group will be able to stay clear of this mess? Do you think the Murong family will let you off so easily after you made use of them? You’re solely thinking about yourself right now, but what about the thousands of employees in the company? What about our investors and our shareholders? Go online and look at how nasty the comments are. Even I am cringing when I read them. I can’t imagine what Luosang is going through. Go on, go drink yourself to death. I bet Luosang will be relieved when she hears that you’re dead.” He left after saying his piece, leaving Yi Jingxi in a stupor by the bar.

...

Luosang tossed and turned in her bed that night. She opened her social media app in the morning and posted, “I declare that I am no longer together with Mr. Nian Junting. We have broken up and gone our separate ways. I wish him all the best. He was a good man, and I lied to him.”

The moment her post went online, it was reposted by reporters and went onto the trending section very quickly.

Lu Kang called her shortly after. “Miss Xu, how can you post a declaration like that? Why are you carrying all the responsibility by yourself? Mr. Nian will go mad if he sees you like this.”

“Brother Lu, if your company won’t clearly cut ties with me, I will have to do it.” Luosang comforted him, saying, “Who says we can’t get back together after breaking up?”

“Who doesn’t know about Mr. Nian’s horrendous temper? He will surely give us all a harsh scolding when he finds out about this.” Lu Kang grimaced.
