They walked out of the bar.
The music and dazzling lights disappeared.
The two of them walked down the street one after another without saying anything.
Jiang Wei looked at the girl in front of him. Even her back view looked beautiful. His eyes were still in a daze.
She was actually back…
The lively girl from before had become a beautiful woman.
It had only been two years, but Jiang Wei acted as if he did not know her.
After walking out of the street of the bar, Fang Yuqing finally stopped in front of a 24-hour coffee shop. She turned around and smiled brightly at Jiang Wei. She said, “Let’s have a cup of coffee together. I have something to tell you.”
“Okay.”
The two of them entered the shop. Jiang Wei ordered a cup of sweet coffee while Fang Yuqing ordered a cup of black coffee.
They sat in an empty corner.
Jiang Wei finally reacted from the shock of Fang Yuqing’s sudden return to the country.
“When did you come back?”
“Two hours ago.”
Jiang Wei felt better. So she had just returned. He thought that she had been back for a few days but did not come to find him.
“What for?” Jiang Wei asked casually.
Fang Yuqing replied seriously, “To look for you.”
Jiang Weiyi was stunned.
“To look for me?”
“Yeah.”
Fang Yuqing was in no hurry to explain. She took a sip of coffee and looked even more tired.
Jiang Wei was silent for a moment before asking, “You saw everything just now?”
“…Yeah.”
“Well, there’s nothing between us…” Jiang Wei was in a hurry to explain, but he did not see any aggression in Fang Yuqing’s eyes.
After he finished explaining, Fang Yuqing nodded and said, “I understand.”
Jiang Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
“Jiang Wei.” Fang Yuqing rarely called Jiang Wei by his full name over the years.
Jiang Wei was stunned again.
Then he murmured softly.
Fang Yuqing said, “We’ve been engaged for more than three years, right?”
“Yeah.”
Time passed very quickly.
Fang Yuqing said, “In the past, I was too weak.” She recalled her past self and could not help but frown slightly. She muttered to herself, “At that time, I could have chosen another solution. If I didn’t want to marry Young Master Xu, I could have completely disobeyed my father’s orders. If he flew into a rage, at most, I would have left the Fang family.”
“There are too many rumors. I can go to a place where no one knows me…”
“Anyway, there were many paths to choose from, but I chose the most irresponsible one.”
To commit suicide…
It was not worth it.
She sighed and said, “It’s actually quite good to be alive. Now that I think of the me who almost committed suicide, I only feel that I’m too useless. That relationship I lost on impulse when I was young can be treated as a lesson.”
Jiang Wei listened to her long winded words and could not guess what she was trying to say.
Finally, Fang Yuqing changed the topic to Jiang Wei. “Jiang Wei, I’ve never told you that I’m very grateful to you, right?”
Jiang Wei did not speak, but his eyes darkened.
He could guess what she wanted to say.
As expected, Fang Yuqing said, “Thank you for giving the 17-year-old me face.”
“For the past two years, I’ve been living in guilt towards you all the time. Jiang Wei, you’re a good boy… a good man.” He was already 23 years old and could be considered a mature man. Fang Yuqing said, “You shouldn’t take the blame for me.”
Fang Yuqing raised her head and looked straight into Jiang Wei’s dark eyes.
She finally said—
“Jiang Wei, let’s call off the engagement.”
Jiang Wei’s expression was calm, and his eyes were still deep.
Fang Yuqing did not notice that his hand, which was holding the coffee spoon, seemed to tremble.
The air around the table became heavy.
Jiang Wei stared at the increasingly beautiful girl in front of him and suddenly smiled.
He said, “Qingqing, you’ve really grown up.”
When she grew up and matured, she no longer needed his protection.
Fang Yuqing’s smile was faint. She looked very beautiful and attractive like this. She nodded and said to Jiang Wei with tears in her eyes, “Thank you for being willing to protect me as I grew up.”
She stood up and bowed solemnly to Jiang Wei. “Yuqing is very grateful to you for taking care of me for three years.” She looked up at Jiang Wei with teary eyes and said, “I wish you happiness.” This blessing was filled with sincerity.
Fang Yuqing picked up her jacket and hugged Jiang Weiyi tightly before leaving.
Jiang Wei sat in the cafe and slowly turned his head to look out of the window.
He watched as Fang Yuqing’s figure disappeared into the black light.
He looked away from her and stared at the coffee in front of him. He waited until the coffee was cold and still hadn’t left.
The next morning, Fang Yuqing posted a long Weibo post titled “I’ve wronged you.”
Every child had a silly experience before he or she became a man or woman.
When I was still a girl, I loved the wrong person and made a mistake. My mistake caused a little angel who was supposed to descend into this world to be robbed of her life. My mistake made a kind and upright boy take the blame.
Today, I want to clarify the truth here. Jiang Wei is not the culprit who fell in love with me and caused me to get pregnant and have an abortion.
I want to apologize to many people.
I’m sorry, Mom. I’ve let you down.
I’m sorry, brother. I’ve given you too much trouble.
I’m sorry, Jiang Wei. In order to repair my reputation, I made you the scapegoat.
I’m sorry, Uncle Jiang and Auntie. Jiang Weiyi and I worked together to lie to you.
Please don’t blame Jiang Wei. He is really a good man. I think he will be your pride. During that incident back then, Jiang Wei was not that person you think he was. He was just a good person who pitied the weak and wanted to save me.
Jiang Wei and I have already discussed it. We decided to cancel the engagement and regain our freedom.
Thank you for your care. I wish you happiness.
Jiang Wei was pulled up from the bed by Jiang Bo.
“What’s going on!”
Jiang Bo looked at his son’s obviously sleepy expression and was angry.
Jiang Wei sat on the bed, puzzled. “What?”
Jiang Bo threw the phone onto Jiang Wei’s bed.
Jiang Wei picked up his phone and looked at it. After reading it, he woke up from his sleep. “Oh, that’s what she said.” Jiang Wei’s tone was calm, but his eyes were a little depressed.
Jiang Bo grabbed the hair on his head and said roughly, “Well, that girl Yuqing is not bad either. Why did the two of you suddenly cancel the marriage contract? Did you do something wrong to her!”
“…No.”
“Hey!” Jiang Bo patted his son’s shoulder hard and praised him. “You’re indeed my son. You did a good job!”
Jiang Wei rolled her eyes and complained to him. “Back then, who was the one who beat me up with a belt until I almost couldn’t get out of bed?”
Jiang Bo touched his nose and said with a smile, “Well, Dad was just angry.”
With that, he ruffled his son’s hair again.
Jiang Wei quickly covered his head.. “Dad, I’m already 23 years old. You can’t touch my hair so easily! My hair can be cut, but it can’t be messy!”
