The two of them sat in a dessert shop on the side of the square. There were two cups of coffee and two pieces of cake on the table.

“It seems that you’re doing well,” Jiang Qingchi broke the silence first.

“Very good.” Jin Nian said lightly. She also raised her head to look at Jiang Qingchi. He didn’t look much different from before, but there was less confidence in his eyes and more worry.

When they broke up, they were very unhappy. She thought that after seeing Jiang Qingchi again, Jin Nian would never want to talk to Jiang Qingchi again. But in fact, it was unnecessary. She had already let go. Moreover, she felt that she should thank Jiang Qingchi. If he hadn’t caused that incident before marriage, she wouldn’t have been with Lu An.

Jin Nian was glad that she didn’t marry Jiang Qingchi in the end. If she found out that Jiang Qingchi had always had someone in his heart after they got married, she would definitely be in pain.

If one doesn’t make a decision swiftly, trouble will befall the person. Everything is in the past now.

“Why are you here?” Jin Nian asked.

“Came here for a stroll.” Jiang Qingchi said.

“You only?”

“With a few friends. They went somewhere else.” Jiang Qingchi smiled, but there was a trace of bitterness in his smile.

It was obvious that Jiang Qingchi wasn’t doing well. His reputation was ruined, and it was difficult for him to establish himself in this industry. He had already missed out on his dream, but he couldn’t blame anyone else for this. He could only blame himself.

Jin Nian’s gaze fell on Jiang Qingchi’s hand. He didn’t have a wedding ring on his finger, so Xu Tian definitely wasn’t with him. He looked like he was still single. Although Jiang Qingchi said that he had friends who came to Country R with him, Jin Nian felt that he came alone.

The two of them fell into silence again. Jin Nian picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. She slowly said, “Jiang Qingchi, you have done something wrong and you have been punished. You shouldn’t continue to be depressed. It’s time for you to start a new life.”

When Jin Nian decided to break up with Jiang Qingchi, it was as if a piece of meat had been cut off. It hurt so much that she cried.

Although she had married Lu An not long after she broke up with Jiang Qingchi, and everyone thought that she wasn’t that serious about this relationship, it had been a few years since she and Jiang Qingchi got engaged. How could she not have loved him? It was just that this love had gradually dissipated because of disappointment.

Jin Nian had gradually forgotten the time when they were in love. Now that she thought about it, she even felt like she was listening to someone else’s story.

Jiang Qingchi’s eyes reddened slightly. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t regret it. Some things only came to light after he broke up with Jin Nian.

“I’m sorry, Jin Nian. I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I never had the chance.” Jiang Qingchi looked guilty.

“Actually, after we broke up, I…” Jiang Qingchi choked before he could finish his sentence. There was no point in saying these words now. Instead, it would make Jin Nian look down on him.

What he wanted to say was that after they broke up, he found out that the person he loved was Jin Nian. His feelings for Xu Tian were very complicated. It was a kind of obsession that he could not love her.

In the lyrics of “Red Rose”, it was written that those who could not get it would always be in turmoil, and those who were favored would have nothing to fear.

In their relationship, he couldn’t get Xu Tian, so he couldn’t forget her. His heart was always in turmoil. He was the one who was favored. He thought that Jin Nian would never leave him, so he had nothing to fear. Unfortunately, Jin Nian made him understand a fact. In this world, anyone could live without anyone.

Jin Nian was a very easy-going girl. She had already sacrificed a lot for this relationship. When she felt that it was meaningless to sacrifice more, she would quickly cut everything off.

Zhang Ailing once said that this was a man’s nature. If he married a red rose, the red would become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall over time, while the white rose would still be the white moonlight in his heart. If he married a white rose, the white would be a grain of rice on his clothes, and the red rose would be a cinnabar mole on his heart.

Jiang Qingchi also had two roses in his heart. However, he was too greedy and wanted both of them. In the end, both roses left him.

“Is he good to you?” Jiang Qingchi asked.

“Very good.” Jin Nian smiled. It was a blissful smile, and her eyes were shining. It was impossible to fake it.

When Jiang Qingchi saw her smile, he understood everything.

Not long after the two of them broke up, Jin Nian got together with Lu An. At that time, Jiang Qingchi thought that Jin Nian was doing it to anger him. It was only later that he realized that Lu An truly loved Jin Nian. He had even watched her silently for so many years, watching her fall in love and prepare to get married. After she broke up, he decisively attacked and walked into the hall of marriage with her.

Jiang Qingchi had to admit that Lu An loved Jin Nian more than he did. Jin Nian would be happier with him..
