Ren Qingyun was an orphan, raised in the Lu household from childhood. She owed the Lu family a debt of gratitude, so even when they ignored, mistreated, and humiliated her, she remained cautious and thankful. In her twenty years of life, her one act of rebellion was crossing the line with the Lu heir.
Everyone called her shameless and accused her of clinging to him, telling her to get out of the Lu family.
The day their relationship was discovered, she knelt in the snow for three hours.
Snow fell all around her, and the cold seeped into her bones.
Only the love in her heart kept her going.
He gave her a breakup payment, his eyes devoid of love. “It was just for fun. Don't take it seriously. I'll send you abroad to study as compensation.”
That day, she fled in disgrace.
When she returned to the country, he had a fiancée, and she was focused on uncovering the truth behind her parents' deaths.
Yet he was everywhere in her life.
“Are you some kind of masochist?” she snapped, unable to take it anymore.
“Yes.”
He admitted it without hesitation.
When everything was finally settled, she decided to leave.
But he grabbed her wrist and forcibly held her in place.
His voice was hoarse and trembling. “Could you please not leave me?”
She smiled faintly.
“It was just for fun. Don't take it seriously.”
