The tense atmosphere that was about to explode dissipated when two of the shop’s staff entered the VIP room.

Even so, Ji Qingqing was still rather disappointed since she didn’t get to see Lu Liting and Gu Shaoyu fight.

With the introduction of the two outsiders, it wasn’t too appropriate for the rest of them to continue in this way. Gu Shaoyu noticed Shen Weiwei silently standing on one side with her head lowered. Her current appearance made his heart ache for a while and he went on to instinctively grip her hand tightly. Mustering his courage, he told Lu Lixing, “Brother Xing, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first with Weiwei.”

Lu Lixing’s gaze was piercing like a sword. Gu Shaoyu who initially mustered his courage was compelled to retreat a few steps back. He shifted his gaze away so that it wouldn’t meet with Lu Lixing’s.

Those piercing eyes of his seemed like they were able to see straight through a person. Gu Shaoyu’s heart suddenly stiffened and his hand that was holding Shen Weiwei’s hand uneasily tightened.

This was pretty much a conditioned reflex from his childhood till now.

When Gu Shaoyu was young, he played around and hung out with his buddies. Lu Lixing’s age was bigger than theirs. He would bring the younger kids out to play and the group of them followed his lead. The group of them were also lectured by their household elders who often spoke about the grown-up Lu Lixing managing the Lu Corporation on his own and that the occasions Lu Lixing had seen were way more than the number of times they visited nightclubs, so naturally his atmosphere wasn’t something that playboys like Gu Shaoyu who frequented nightclubs could compare to.

Lu Lixing coldly withdrew his gaze. “Let’s go. In the next couple of days, I’ll visit Old Master Gu.”

Gu Shaoyu’s heart which had originally settled down stiffened once more.

“Brother Xing, I…”

“I told you to leave!”

Gu Shaoyu didn’t dare to continue further. As he held Shen Weiwei tightly and prepared to leave, he was stopped by Lu Liting.

As he grabbed hold of Shen Weiwei’s arm, his gaze was shadowed and his tone was unclear. “Are you really leaving?”

Shen Weiwei lifted her head. Her lips slightly parted and she was about to reply.

“You want to leave me and break up with me?”

“I…” Seeing Lu Liting’s impassive face, Shen Weiwei suddenly got flustered. Her palms broke out a layer of cold sweat and a pang of regret surfaced.

But as for the reason why she felt regret and hesitation, even Shen Weiwei herself wasn’t clear why.

When she was with Lu Liting, she knew that Lu Liting was a member of the Lu family. Hence that was why she was willing to stay by Lu Liting’s side and accompany him. It was because she knew that sooner or later her suffering would eventually pay off. However, reality gave her a harsh slap in the face.

Lu Liting was completely unwilling to use the Lu family’s resources for her. Even he, himself, didn’t want to enter the Lu Corporation and work. Instead, he left the Lu family, decided to start from scratch, and work a job he liked.

Lu Liting could do it, but she can’t.

The entertainment industry was a ruthless place. The minute she had no background, no connections, and couldn’t get resources, she would be doomed to sink to the depths of the entertainment industry for her whole life. She would be shunned and bullied by others; she also couldn’t offend people carelessly and would have to greet them with a smile. This kind of life, she didn’t want to continue living it anymore.

She had already given Li Liting a chance. During this period of time she didn’t believe Lu Liting was unaware that she was having a hard time. But even so, he still didn’t do anything other than offer words of comfort.

Since Lu Liting was unable to give her all that she wanted, then why must she still stay together with him?

She won’t regret anything, she will regret none of it!

Shen Weiwei forcefully suppressed an unknown, fleeting rush of anxiety from the depths of her heart. She repeatedly told herself not to regret anything and bit by bit she broke free of Lu Liting’s hand. “Yes, I want to break up!”

Lu Liting stared into her eyes and questioned slowly, “Just because I’m unable to help you so you want to break up with me? In your heart, are the many years of love between us worth nothing?

Shen Weiwei clenched her teeth and remained silent.

When she was faced with this question, honestly speaking, it was somewhat awkward.
