Ye Yuwei still did not move.
Gu juexi still did not look good.
Lu Qichuan laughed softly and looked up at Ye Yuwei who was not far away. Ye Yuwei was a little embarrassed. She walked over with a fruit in her hand and placed it on the table. When she was about to leave, Gu Juexi pulled her to sit down beside her.
“You and brother Lu have something to say first. I –”
“Sit down, Yuwei,”Lu Qichuan said to stop ye Yuwei from getting up.
Ye Yuwei did not want to get up or sit down. The atmosphere was not what she wanted.
In the end, ye Yuwei still sat down beside Gu Juexi. Instead, Gu Juexi got up and left.
Ye Yuwei sighed slightly and looked at Lu Qichuan. “Brother Lu, you –”
Lu Qichuan took an apple and twirled it in his hand. “Do you still remember the first time we met?”
“You mean the fire?”It was the first time they met, but she had forgotten about it for ten years.
Lu Qichuan shook his head. “That day, you went to elder Qian’s party to get a divorce with Gu.”
Ye Yuwei:”…”
Of course, she remembered that Lu Qichuan was the one who brought her in. However, that was not the first time they met, was it?
“I asked you the other day. Since you knew the result, why did you do this?”Lu Qichuan asked as he looked at ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei could not help but tighten her hands. “Because this is the only way to make yourself give up completely.”
“Yes, this is the only way to make myself give up completely.”
“Lu Qichuan.”Ye Yuwei stood up abruptly. What was he talking about? What was he doing?
Lu Qichuan looked at the agitated ye Yuwei and thought for a moment before saying, “Don’t be agitated. What I want to tell you is not what you think.”
Ye Yuwei’s chest was heaving up and down because of what he had just said.
If he really did that, how cruel would this man be?
Ye Yuwei slowly sat down and Lu Qichuan turned the apple in his hand again. “I have been entangled with Tan Chenxiao all my life. In the end, it is just that I am not willing to let her go. But do you know why I am not willing to let her go?”
Ye Yuwei knew that Lu Qichuan had been the one who was not willing to let her go all these years. Otherwise, they would have already gone their separate ways. One child was not enough to maintain a relationship between two people.
“I thought that as long as I did not let Tan Chenxiao go, I would let go of me. I would let go of myself who was trapped in the fire,”Lu Qichuan said as he looked at ye Yuwei, “I would let go of myself who was trapped in your eyes. However, I did not expect that in the end, it was not that I was not sure that I would let her go. It was that I had no way of letting her go.”
Ye Yuwei listened to Lu Qichuan’s self-deprecating words. She pursed her lips slightly and continued listening.
“We always thought that the things that we struggled with in the beginning would not change, but many things are changing. It is just that we have trapped our eyes and did not allow ourselves to discover it,”Lu Qichuan said, he placed the apple on the table, “So, what I want to tell you is that your decision to give up back then wasn’t absolute, so I’m not willing to let myself go. I didn’t let myself go because I wanted to let you go. Because, you were never in my shackles. You just drew your own prison.”
You just drew your own prison.
All these years, none of them were happy. It was just because none of them had let go of the past.
