Don't Leave Me

[Highly Sensitive x Avoidant] [Shanghai Socialite Heir x Middle-Class, Slightly Spoiled Young Woman]

When fate says you aren't meant to be, forcing yourselves together won't change that.

Originally titled "Your Possessiveness Is Too Much," but it got axed (.

Jing Chi had barely returned to China and hadn't even had time to post "Landed safely" before her ex-boyfriend interrupted her.

In her senior year of college, when she was about to go abroad for further study, she didn't want to hurt her boyfriend too much over a relationship they'd started on a whim, so she told a well-meaning lie.

During her final phone call with Pei Zhan, she said, "I'm sorry. Your possessiveness is too much."

They didn't even get to see each other in person. Jing Chi left campus the next day and deleted everything related to Pei Zhan to avoid an awkward goodbye.

During her years abroad, Jing Chi enjoyed herself and made plenty of less-than-reputable friends.

Every now and then, when she thought of that genius from A University's economics department, she and her friends would reminisce about those few months together.

She was grateful for the happiness Pei Zhan had given her.

She thought Pei Zhan probably felt the same way.

So even when they met again, she greeted him warmly, wanting to ask how he'd been all these years.

The man across from her didn't even spare her a glance. He walked straight past.

"Young Master Pei, was that woman saying hello to you?"

"I don't know." Pei Zhan's face was cold. After a pause of two or three seconds, he added, "I don't know her."

Jing Chi only noticed two things:

1. Young Master Pei. What did that title have to do with the Pei Zhan who used to collect scholarships for students in financial hardship?

2. I don't know her. Pei Zhan actually dared to give her the cold shoulder.

So when Pei Zhan asked if she wanted to marry him,

Jing Chi impulsively said yes again.

When the day came for them to share a bed, she booked a flight to the United States and asked guiltily, "Pei Zhan, can we get divorced now? I feel like your possessiveness is too much..."

The man wordlessly started taking off her clothes, one piece at a time. His voice was cold. "I gave you a chance. You chose to come back. Jing Chi, do you think I'm a dog you can toy with?"

"That's not what I mean, Pei Zhan. I just..."

"Don't leave me, Yuanyuan... I'm really losing my mind."
