Before he could finish his sentence, Su Zhinian realized he had lost his composure, and he clamped his mouth shut.
Exhaustion was written all over his face as he stared at a streetlight in the distance. After a long time, he said softly, "You should go home."
Then, he stepped into the revolving door.
His back was straight, but Cheng Qingchong could see the heavy loneliness in his eyes. She knew he was not happy, and that made her heart wrench with pain. Her hands that gripped the car door tightened.
Su Zhinian had no idea how long he sat in his chair before he raised his hand to press on his stomach that was aching from the alcohol. Then, his gaze slowly fell on the gift bag beside him.
He stared at the bag for a long time before he pulled out the box and opened it. It was a whole set of jewelry that shone brightly under the office lights. It stung his eyes, and he averted his gaze subconsciously. The next second, he closed the box, stood up, walked to the cupboard, pulled open one of the drawers, and tossed the box inside.
The drawer was very big and very deep. It was filled with all kinds of gift boxes, almost filling up the entire drawer.
He stared at the gift boxes of different sizes and colors, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his character's otherworldly face.
For the past few years, he had been like this. Whenever she needed something, he would subconsciously have his secretary buy it for him. However, after he bought it, he would not be able to give it to her. He would either have his secretary throw it away or leave it in this drawer forever.
He actually wanted to be good to her, but he could not.
For example, he knew that when he found out about that secret five years ago, there was no longer any possibility between them. However, in those five years, he could not stop himself from listening to her voice, following her movements, knowing her happiness and sadness. As if he had lost his mind, he had gotten someone to register an anonymous phone card to send her messages. When he found out about Song Cheng's suicide, he had appeared at the first moment and followed behind her for a whole day. When Song Empire was in danger, before she could come to him, he had pulled up all the information on Song Empire.
He shouldn't have signed that agreement with her and let her live in his house, but he wanted to see her, and that was the only way he could think of to see her.
He had been trying his best to give up on her, but for some love, the more he tried to pull away, the clearer it became.
He had always been trying his best not to be sad because of her, but sincerity was the closest to being sad. The more sincere one was in love, the easier it was to be sad.
He could no longer remember how many times he had called her name in the dead of night. Every time he called her name, a bloody hole would appear in his heart.
Tingting, Tingting, Tingting …
If not for the fact that Su Zhinian almost forced himself on Song Qingchun again, she would have forgotten that when she first signed the contract with Su Zhinian, he had said to her, "I've used you before, so I'm just saving myself the trouble."
It wasn't that she didn't understand the meaning behind those words. So, in the beginning, when she stayed in his villa for a few days, she was very nervous every night and didn't dare to fall asleep. It was only later when he didn't touch her that she gradually relaxed.
