1816: Give Up

Give Up

"I don't care how it used to be. I don't care if I ever loved you before or not, it's not important anymore," Huo Sanyan said. "You've waited for me for three years, and it's about time to let me go. The Huo Sanyan that loved you three years ago died at the explosion in Hawaii. Just let me go. You'll definitely be able to find someone better than me."1

Huo Sanyan took her suitcase from Ye Xun and walked down the stairs.

Ye Xun was stunned to hear what Huo Sanyan had said. He'd thought of countless possibilities that could happen, but the only thing he didn't think of was breaking up.

"Please, don't go… Yanyan… Please… I can't live without you…"

Ye Xun chased after Huo Sanyan and grabbed her suitcase, not letting her go.

"Let me go!"

"No!"

"Why are you always so persistent!?"

"I don't care what you say! I'm not letting you go."

The suitcase handle could not withstand the force of two people pulling on it and broke. The suitcase then fell to the floor and rolled down the stairs.

The suitcase then broke and everything inside it was scattered all around the floor.

"See? This is what's happening between us!" Huo Sanyan scolded in tears. "It's broken, just like that suitcase! And it's never going back to how it was."

"No… It's not broken… I can fix it…"

Ye Xun ran down the stairs and tried to put everything back into the suitcase. But the more he tried, the worst things got.

After pilling everything back in, he tried to close the suitcase but realized he couldn't.

The zipper was torn apart in the process, and the lock was broken. The suitcase could never go back to how it was.

Ye Xun tried to mend everything as Huo Sanyan walked past him and left the mansion without turning her head to look at Ye Xun once.

She chose to give up on everything.

She didn't want anything to do with Ye Xun anymore.

"Yanyan! Wait for me… I can fix this…"

But no matter how loud Ye Xun shouted, Huo Sanyan did not stop. When Ye Xun chased her until outside the door, Huo Sanyan's car was already leaving the manor's grounds.

"Yanyan… Huo Sanyan…"

Ye Xun chased after the car, but there was no way he could outrun a machine.

Huo Sanyan really left, without any regrets.

Ye Xun stared at the tail lights of the car as it drove off, and he dropped his arms. He turned to look at the messy mansion as his heart broke.

The person he loved the most had left him, and he was the one to blame.

He scolded himself as he cried.

…

Ye Xun tried to look for Huo Sanyan after that. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find her. It was as if she'd never existed before.

She wasn't at the company either.

Ye Xun even went to Bai Yanchuan to look for her. He suspected that Huo Sanyan might've gone to Bai Yanchuan to hide.

Bai Yanchuan was drinking at a bar when Ye Xun appeared at the door.

"Oh my. Mr. Ye, what a coincidence."

"Bai Yanchuan, where's Huo Sanyan?" Ye Xun asked.

Bai Yanchuan noticed Ye Xun's untrimmed beard and red eyes and could guess what was happening.

"Mr. Ye, are you blaming me for your woman's disappearance?"
