Chapter 280: 280, Once again, the answer
Song Qinghuan walked over to him and sat down across from him. She took a deep breath and softly said, “You mentioned that day, during our time in Xiamen, that I still have the right to choose.”
Shi Yuhuan was slightly taken aback and looked up at her, his eyes enigmatic.
Song Qinghuan felt a chill run down her spine. His indifference gave her a sharp, terrifying sensation.
A moment of silence passed, but it felt like an entire century.
Song Qinghuan moisturized her lips for a bit, then finally mustered the courage to say, driving a knife into her chest with the pain, “I have decided, I want to make a choice again!”
Shi Yuhuan stared incessantly at her, his eyes cold as ice.
Song Qinghuan’s instinct told her that the man in front of her was enraged, as if warning her to think before she spoke again, to avoid saying what she may regret.
Her heart was beating so hard it felt like it was in her throat.
“I’ve given it some thought. Even though I don’t have anyone by my side, it doesn’t seem right for us to try again, so…” Her voice trailed off, and Song Qinghuan felt her resilience draining away.
Her voice was as thin as spider silk, her gaze almost pleadingly fixed on him, “Please allow me to refuse. I hope that after we leave Xiamen, you can remember the peaceful times we shared. Can we return to how we were shortly after we got married…”
With a crisp snapping sound, Shi Yuhuan abruptly shut his laptop.
Song Qinghuan jumped off the sofa in fright at his sudden movement.
However, she didn’t immediately leave, but stood silently, looking at Shi Yuhuan.
Shi Yuhuan remained silent, not looking at her.
The air in the room became stagnant. In the silence, they could almost hear each other’s breathing even though they were far from each other.
“As you wish!” He stood up, his tone indifferent and somewhat cold.
After he closed the door, Song Qinghuan’s legs gave way beneath her and she fell back onto the sofa.
It was over. Everything was finally over.
That night, after Shi Yuhuan left, he didn’t return to his room. They were due to catch a flight early the next morning, but Shi Yuhuan still didn’t return.
Song Qinghuan packed her things, as well as Shi Yuhuan’s, waiting silently, but he never showed up.
It was almost noon, time to leave for the airport.
Song Qinghuan looked at Shi Yuhuan’s suitcase, left unattended in the room, one last time before closing the door.
In the lobby, Yu Yang was checking out. Song Qinghuan, pulling her suitcase, stood in the lobby waiting for her.
Not too long after, she saw Shi Yuhuan and Chen Tian walking towards her.
Song Qinghuan was momentarily stunned, unsure what to do, her heart pounding rapidly.
She was about to tell him, “Your things are packed, you can grab them before checking out.”
However, when Shi Yuhuan saw her, he looked at her coldly, his expression distant, as if he were looking at a stranger.
This immediately made Song Qinghuan swallow everything she wanted to say.
And in this moment, he passed her by as if she was nothing more than air.
Instantaneously, the world seemed to stand still.
They brushed past each other, just as they had shortly after they got married. Isn’t that what she wanted?
Yet why did his current indifference make her feel unable to bear it?
