I Admitted Defeat at Her Hands

He Jun was famous in their circle for being wild and carefree. Everyone who knew him knew he couldn't stand actresses, yet rumors linking him to them never stopped. Even the mighty Old Master He could do nothing about his grandson. Later, an actress stayed by his side for two whole years. His friends all thought He Jun had changed. As time went by, even Ji Zhi came to believe that she and He Jun would have a happy ending. The day before He Jun's birthday, Ji Zhi rushed back from the set just to celebrate with him. Then she heard He Jun talking with a friend, and all her hope shattered. His friend asked with a laugh, "The star Ji has been by your side for ages. Isn't it time you gave her a proper status? Your grandfather's been nagging you to get married lately. Why not take her home to meet him?" He Jun was as dismissive and carefree as ever. He flicked the ash from his cigarette. "I can have as many girlfriends as I want." That night, Ji Zhi kept up appearances for He Jun. Back at the villa, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. Ji Zhi gazed at the darkness outside the window, her eyes perfectly calm and endless. "He Jun, let's break up." He Jun paused for a moment, then tossed out a bored, "Suit yourself." That night, Ji Zhi moved out of He Jun's villa, taking everything with her. * A lot of people thought Ji Zhi was foolish.

He Jun was so furious he grabbed Ji Zhi by her slender arm and gritted his teeth. "Ji Zhi, do you have any idea what you're doing?" Ji Zhi replied calmly, "Mr. He, are you blind? I'm carefully raising fish. My pond is full of thousands of them, but I'll have only one husband. I'm going to find him among all these thousands." "..." He Jun had no answer. He swallowed his pride and asked quietly, "Zhi Zhi, what about me?" Ji Zhi gave him a cold look and shook off his hand. "You're not good enough."
