Chapter 477: Chapter 338: Coming for Divorce_2

That day, the something about the intense sunlight stung her eyes.

That day, she lost the man she loved the most.

It had been four years. From a fresh university graduate, she had become a national idol, struggling all by herself, not relying on any family support. The journey had been remarkably tough.

She neither talked about feelings nor love, always shouting about becoming the female player, yet not a single fish caught her eye.

And him?

He erased their shared past without a trace, enjoying a good life with his beautiful fiancée.

Wasn’t such a life good enough?

Why then did he call off the engagement?

She had never envisaged a future with him, let alone thinking that he couldn’t live without her. She didn’t want to be unfairly labeled as a ‘homewrecker’.

With this in mind, Murong Qian took a deep breath, finally finding her voice, “So, you’re just shrugging responsibility like this?”

It was the same four years ago, and so it is, four years later.

Lu Cong decisively replied, “I don’t love her. I’ve always only thought of her as a little sister. Marrying her would truly be irresponsible.”

“Haha…”

His response left Murong Qian coldly laughing, “If you didn’t love her, why did you get engaged in the first place?” Why did you abandon me? Do you know how miserable I was, how worse than death…

What she didn’t say out loud, was murmured in her heart. The almond-shaped eyes hidden behind her sunglasses began to moisten.

Facing her interrogation, Lu Cong remained silent with his head lowered.

Seeing this, Murong Qian turned her face away, “Alright, you don’t have to speak. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to hear it.”

Lu Cong: “…”

There was a moment of silence in the air, and the ambiance became a bit awkward.

Perhaps after a few seconds, Lu Cong slowly spoke: “Our families have been old friends for generations, and I’ve grown up with Li Ruoruo. Our elders hoped that we would end up together. I’ve refused countless times, but during the time I was hospitalized due to the car accident four years ago, they took advantage of my situation and announced both families’ engagement. By the time I found out, it was already a done deal. I was forced to attend the engagement ceremony to save both families’ reputations. After the ceremony, I tried several times to break off the engagement with Li Ruoruo, but she disagreed, so we kept dragging on until now.”

Murong Qian, of course, was unaware of these behind-the-scenes details.

That year, there was another incident. A noblewoman who proclaimed herself to be the Lady Lu met her on the day of the engagement ceremony. She arrogantly handed her a check for five hundred thousand and asked her to get away from her son.

Murong Qian remembered quite vividly how Lady Lu had pointed at her nose and called her a nasty, alluring, lowly woman looking to marry into the wealthy family by seducing her son. Lady Lu had declared that her son and Li Ruoruo were the ideal match of prosperity and beauty. A vixen like you is only suitable to play around with…

When Murong Qian remained silent, Lu Cong couldn’t help but comfort her: “Qianqian, even without you, I would have broken off the engagement with her. Don’t feel guilty about it.”

Pulling back her thoughts, Murong Qian coldly laughed again, “What does this have to do with me? Why should I feel guilty?”

“Better if you don’t.”

Lu Cong looked at her with a deep emotion in his eyes, “Do you believe in love at first sight? Although I didn’t know you before, the first time I saw you, it felt so familiar, as if I’ve known you for a long time.”

Didn’t know her before? Really?

Murong Qian clenched the corners of her mouth, hesitated for a bit, then finally couldn’t help but ask, “Did you lose your memory after your car accident?”

If he had lost his memory, then she would decide to forgive him, giving him one last chance.

But if he hadn’t lost his memory…

“No!”

Without waiting for her to finish thinking, Lu Cong’s voice echoed.

“No? Are you sure?”

Murong Qian widened her eyes, hidden behind the sunglasses, unable to hide the shock in her eyes.

Lu Cong was a little confused by her dramatic reaction, hesitated a little before saying, “After waking up from the car accident, I was admittedly a bit confused for a while. But according to the doctor’s examination, there was no memory loss.”

But you forgot about me…

Murong Qian couldn’t help but howl.

She really wanted to scream these words at him, but in the end, she clenched her fists, holding back her outburst.

There must be more to this matter. She couldn’t rush to conclusions. She’d investigate thoroughly first.

Moreover, she hadn’t really decided whether she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. After all, there were still many hurdles between them that couldn’t be easily overcome.

…

Afterwards, Murong Qian remained cold towards Lu Cong.

Lu Cong, understanding the situation, didn’t try to tease her further.

The plane landed at the Imperial City International Airport in Hua Country.

After passing through customs, Lu Cong, dragging both his and her suitcases, asked her, “Did you book a hotel, or…”
