When Shen Yanci said, "Let's end this," Wu Lian nodded.
That very night, she packed her bags, blocked every one of his contact methods, and left without even a note. She disappeared completely.
As far as she was concerned, the relationship had always been a matter of mutual benefit. He gave her a breakup payment, and she disappeared of her own accord. It was the most dignified ending possible.
But she didn't know that Shen Yanci had an engagement ring in his pocket that morning.
He wasn't good with words and had wanted to say, "Let's get married." But he stumbled over his words and said, "Let's end this" instead.
He planned to explain everything properly when he got home that evening. When he opened the door, all that remained was a single key by the entrance.
Three years later, after graduating from graduate school, Wu Lian returned to the city. On her first day at work, she bumped into someone in the company lobby.
She looked up. Shen Yanci stood before her, his gaze as deep as an abyss.
He held her resume between his fingertips and smiled.
"Wu Lian, did I say you could leave this time?"
[Her point of view: It all makes perfect sense, and she feels entirely justified, even finding it a little funny.]
[His point of view: Dark and obsessive, a possessive love, waiting three years just to lock you up and bring you back.]
