...
Looking at the woman in front of him, head bowed in silence, Yan Cheng felt a pang in his heart.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The rain intensified slightly, its torrential sound failing to mask the pain inside him.
A moment later, he reopened his enchanting peach blossom eyes, yet a trace of a smile flickered across his face.
It was hard to tell how much bitterness was hidden behind it.
It was a long while before he began to speak to her slowly.
"From now on, I will never appear before you again."
As Yan Cheng's voice faded, Lan Xu just stood there with her head down, silent, making no movements, just quietly standing there, staring at his rain-soaked leather shoes.
What he didn't see was the ghastly pale expression on that fair face she was keeping down.
"Lan Xu, congratulations, you are completely free now!" he said with a bitter smile on his face, congratulating her.
From this moment on… he completely let her go!
He set her free!
