One “Whatever You Want” from Him, and I Never Looked Back

The day the company announced my overseas assignment, I told Gu Yao.

I emphasized that this time the posting was three thousand li away and asked whether he wanted me to go.

He sat on the sofa, his hand pausing as he turned a page. "It's up to you."

Just as I'd expected.

Gu Yao never got involved in any of my decisions.

When a man pursued me, I asked what I should do, and he said, "It's up to you."

On our first anniversary, I asked if he wanted to celebrate it, and he still said, "It's up to you."

Even when it came to something as important as marriage, all he did was look at me coolly and say, "It's up to you."

I always thought that was just his personality.

Then one day, I happened to see his chat history with his ex-girlfriend, Su Wan.

In the messages, she said her family was planning to set her up on a blind date.

His reply was: "Absolutely not!"

Looking at those words, I suddenly remembered saying something similar myself.

I'd told him that if he treated me badly, I'd just marry some man at random.

His response had still been, "It's up to you."

In that moment, I understood. He wasn't respecting me; he simply didn't care.

He didn't care who I was with, whether we were in a long-distance relationship, or even who I married.

So when he said "It's up to you" once again, I replied, "Fine."

Then I'll do as he wishes.
