It wasn’t easy to say “break up,” but once she got past that, Chi Shuyan felt much more at ease. She looked at the man’s face as she spoke, and saw that he was still expressionless and calm as he stared at her. Although she felt that his gaze was hot enough to pierce a hole through her head, he was indeed very calm and rational, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter how unhappy they had been before, she had thought long and hard about breaking up, and hoped that they would be able to break up peacefully. After living two lifetimes, she couldn’t be like an ordinary girl and treat a relationship and a man as everything.

It was even more impossible for her to want to die over a relationship. In her opinion, apart from relationships, family, friends and cultivation were also very important in her life.

If they were compatible, they could continue. If they weren’t, they could break up – all this was very normal.

Chi Shuyan thought it through and looked at the man in front of her with more resolve as she waited for his reply. To be honest, she had imagined all sorts of scenarios after she made things clear with the man, but she hadn’t expected this at all.

After she raised the matter of breaking up, the air between them was silent for a long time. The tall man in front of her only pursed his thin lips and didn’t fly into a rage. He just looked at her calmly and didn’t speak or reply.

His gaze and the pressure around him were as powerful as ever. His tall figure and silent, stoic face inexplicably pressed down on Chi Shuyan until she couldn’t breathe.

As time passed, the atmosphere between them inevitably became more and more awkward and strange. Chi Shuyan stopped stirring her coffee and looked up at the man in front of her, waiting as calmly as possible for his reply.

It felt like a long time, but it was actually only a few minutes. Chi Shuyan felt like more than half a century had passed. The man didn’t move for a long time, and the lack of expression on his face gave her even more pressure.

She did want to take the initiative to find a topic to talk about, but since she had already talked about breaking up, that would be too deliberate a move. She simply shifted her gaze to the full-length window and waited for the man’s reply.

After a while, the man’s deep voice was as calm as ever, as if he hadn’t heard Chi Shuyan say that she wanted to break up. His tone was deep and magnetic. “Grandpa, Mom, and Dad want to see you!”

Chi Shuyan waited for a long time, but didn’t hear the reply she wanted to hear. There was some bafflement in her eyes. She had already said the words “break up,” so it was impossible for the man in front of her not to understand.

Since that wasn’t the case, was he playing dumb?

The other party didn’t want to break up with her?

Chi Shuyan took a few more looks at the man in front of her. After confirming that he had been frighteningly calm from beginning to end and didn’t look hurt, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them had only been dating for less than half a year. They did have feelings for each other, but Chi Shuyan didn’t think that it was to that deep an extent yet.

Otherwise, the man wouldn’t have broken up with her so easily before.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, then repeated, “Qi Zhenbai, when I’m free, I’ll definitely go to see the old master, Uncle and Aunt.” Although she had made up her mind to break up with the man in front of her, she wasn’t heartless enough to draw a clear line with the Qi family because of him, nor would she cut off all ties with his friends, such as with Brother Feng and Qi Hao.

It was just a small breakup. She didn’t want to avoid everyone else just because of the man in front of her. It wasn’t worth it, and there wasn’t some huge grudge between them.

She even felt that after they broke up for real, as long as the man in front of her didn’t want to cut ties with her, it was fine to maintain a light friendship.

After a pause, Chi Shuyan continued, “Don’t worry, visiting the Qi family and breaking up with you are two different things. I won’t mix them up. As long as you don’t mind in the future, I can occasionally go to the Qi family residence to visit the old master, Uncle, and Aunt!”

Actually, she wanted to say that she would go often, but when she thought about it, it was better to avoid arousing suspicion after they broke up for good. If the man found another girlfriend one day, wouldn’t it be too awkward for her, the ex-girlfriend?

While Chi Shuyan was lost in thought, she didn’t notice that the man’s originally stoic face had suddenly turned gloomy. His dark and bottomless eyes seemed to be filled with stormy whirlpools. The calmer the man’s expression was, the more terrifying it was. On a closer look, the veins on his forehead were bulging slightly, and his cold, hard eyes exuded hostility. It was scary. The knuckles on the hand that was holding the coffee cup were white and distinct.

Chi Shuyan’s attention wasn’t on the man in front of her. She didn’t plan to hang around here for long. She had said almost everything that she needed to say, and was about to say a few more polite words before she left.

Chi Shuyan’s phone suddenly rang. She apologized and picked up the call. On the other end, she heard Zhen Yu scream in incoherent shock. “Shuyan, are you in the cafe? Are you in the cafe? Someone has confessed to you. By the way, it’s Feng Yuancen. There is a banner hanging outside our school, and there are a lot of roses! By the way, Shuyan, he went over! I think he went to the cafe to confess to you. Do you see him?”

Chi Shuyan was still in a daze. Before she could come back to her senses, she heard Zhen Yu continue, “I see him. He’s at the door! Shuyan! That kid is at the door!”
