When Yan Qi saw Sang Wan again, he held a knife in one hand and a lit flame in the other, his face full of hatred.
He wanted nothing more than to grind her into the dirt.
"Sang Wan, any other woman in this world would be more suited than you to the position of the Yan family's third young master's wife."
Later, the ill-fitting sapphire ring Sang Wan always wore became the cheapest, most insignificant gem she had ever owned.
And yet she treasured it.
Yan Qi could only think that making Sang Wan the Yan family's third young master's wife had done her a terrible injustice.
Later still, when Sang Wan was about to give up her position as the third young master's wife as promised, Yan Qi drove her, car and all, into the lake.
He barely pressed the accelerator and turned to look at her. "Sang Wan, I told you: if we can't live together, then we'll die together."
"If you're so eager to die, I'll go with you. No need to drag anything else into it."
Much later, just as he had five years before, Yan Qi once again became the one left behind in the muddy snow of Mocheng.
"Sang Wan, do you love me?"
"I did."
Every one of the countless times I told you "I love you" was true. Only the last one was a lie.
