Happy ending
The night she asked to break up, rain was pouring outside.
Lu Zeqian leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette. His voice was slightly hoarse. "You've decided?"
He Yining murmured yes, her fingers clutching the hem of her skirt.
Lu Zeqian's gaze was cold and heavy. He fell silent amid the swirling smoke, his expression unreadable.
Only the ember glowed and faded.
At last, he tapped the cigarette. "All right. It's late and the rain is heavy, Miss He. You can see yourself out."
Ash fell from his fingers.
He Yining's heart gave a painful twist, then she nodded.
They'd been together for four years. He indulged her youthful boldness and saw her at her lowest, reaching out to pull her from the mud and mire.
But in the end, it had all been a dream.
When she awoke, news of his engagement arrived.
She had to leave.
So she said softly, "Mr. Lu, we're even."
She hurried to grab the doorknob.
But the man behind her rose in silence, snuffed out his cigarette, and strode toward her with a cold expression. Her arm suddenly tightened as he grabbed her and flung her back onto the bed.
All color drained from her face.
Lu Zeqian smoothly pulled off his belt and leaned over her. "Your food, clothes, living expenses, connections, and resources: which of them haven't I provided for you over these four years? And you think you can just say we're even?"
"Miss He, that's not how you settle an account."
[All these years, I gave you all my heart.]
