Li Bingbing stopped talking to him for the whole day since she was still angry at him.

  Xia Sinian introduced himself to her mother and he was easily accepted by her.

  When Li Bingbing graduated, she entered the same college as Xia Sinian. There, they decided to live together in an apartment.

  Things were going well with them, except every now and then, Li Bingbing had to protect her gentle and kind boyfriend from the traps that were set for him by other girls who were trying to get his attention.

  Xia Sinian grew taller and Li Bingbing became a fine lady as well. She even grew her hair since she learned that he loved her hair.

  Although…… everything ended on his graduation day.

  "Let’s break up." Xia Sinian said, his face was void of emotions.

  "Stop joking. We’re not breaking up." Although Li Bingbing said this with a calm voice, she started getting nervous inside.

  "We have to. Starting from now on, I will have no time for you. I have set my eyes on making the Xia Company great."

  "Bullsh*t!" She glared at him. "You’re breaking up with me because of that damn family business of yours?"

  "Yes. I’ve wasted enough time on you. From now on, I need to use it wisely."

  She never expected this day would come. Even if his reason was not about another girl, she still got hurt because of his cold words.

  Her eyes started becoming blurry because of her tears. "Sinian…… please, don’t do this. I can make time for us. If you’re busy, then I won’t disturb you…… but please…… please don’t do this. I love you. Let’s not break up."

  "You’re just going to be a burden to me. I’m sorry, Bingbing. Even if you say that you’ll make time for us, I cannot make time for you. It’s time for us to grow up."

  Who would have thought that everything would start and end with graduation days?

  She couldn’t believe that he was sacrificing their love for his family business. They could talk things through but no, he won’t even do that.

  "You know what? Fine! Don’t come begging for me to return to you once you realize that you can’t live without me! I’ll definitely give you a good beating once you come begging for me!" She turned and ran away, leaving him there. She was crying while heading out of the campus.

  He clenched his fists tight. She was a woman that came from a normal family while he was a man who came from an elite family. Now that the company was given to him, he will have to do everything to bring it up since…… he promised his deceased father that he will make the Xia Company great again.

  After packing her things and leaving the apartment, Li Bingbing waited every day for him to come to get her from her parent’ place. She thought that maybe, after a few days, Xia Sinian would come and realize that he couldn’t bear the pain of being away from her. But that didn’t happen.

  She tried calling him but he never answered. She messaged him about meeting at a restaurant but he never arrived even if she waited and waited. She cried because of this. She was in great pain. Was he really never going to show up? Was it really over for both of them? Why was he so cruel? He knew how much she loved him——

  Li Bingbing smiled at him, "Why hello there, Mr. Xia."

  There was no hint of gentleness in Xia Sinian’s face. Just like the day they broke up, it was void of emotions. He nodded his head at her as an acknowledgment before he turned to his sister. "How’s Mello?"

  Xia Meilin blinked a few times. The last time they met, her brother was not fond of Little Melon but this time, he was asking about him.

  "He entered preschool this week." Xia Meilin took a glance at Li Bingbing then back to her brother. Not wanting to come in between them, she found an excuse to leave, "I will go check on my husband."

  Escaping the awkward atmosphere between them, she headed to where Lu Yifeng was. She held on his arm and greeted the men that were with him.

  Meanwhile, Li Bingbing and Xia Sinian ended up staring at each other. "Looks like you’re doing well."

  Xia Sinian turned and looked at the musicians instead. "Hm."

  "Have you found yourself a girl?"

  "Yes."

  She furrowed her brows. "Yes? Then where is she?"

  "At home. Taking care of the baby." When he took a glass of wine from the waiter, Li Bingbing noticed a silver ring on his ring finger.

  Seeing this was like a knife that stabbed her heart. "You’re married? Why didn’t I hear it from anyone?"

  "What right do you have to know?" With that, he turned away and left her alone.

  He’s lying…… He’s lying, right?

  Feeling her eyes becoming teary, she hurriedly went to the woman’s restroom. Despite her strong facade, Li Bingbing’s feelings were always so sensitive when it was about the person she loved and cared.

  Lu Xian Yu noticed Li Bingbing leaving in a hurry. Sensing that something was wrong with her, he excused himself from the girls he was chatting with before he followed her.

  Meanwhile, after greeting the people that Lu Yifeng introduced to her. Xia Meilin’s smile became stiff.

  Noticing this, Lu Yifeng decided to take her away from there. "Are you tired? Do you want to go home now?"

  "No. I’m fine." She turned to look for Li Bingbing and Xia Sinian. She saw her brother but she didn’t see her best friend. Lu Xian Yu was missing as well, did they leave?

  Lu Yifeng noticed that she was distracted by something. "Who are you looking for?"

  "I can’t see Bingbing and Lu Xian Yu. Did you see them leave?" She asked as she faced him.

  "I didn’t realize. Forget them." He held her by her waist and smiled. "Do you want to ditch this place?"

  She blinked a few times, she never expected him to suggest something like this. "Where should we go?"

  "Somewhere. This place is noisy, let’s leave." He continued to add.

  Since Li Bingbing had already left, Xia Meilin decided to leave as well. "Okay." She smiled. "Let me go use the restroom first."

  "Do you want me to accompany you?" He smiled.

  She blushed lightly at this, "Haha very funny." She said in a sarcastic tone before she left him there.
