She forced a smile and called out in a coquettish tone, "Honey, are you okay?"
But who is Ye Que? Could he fail to notice the difference between her genuine smile and a forced one?
This woman, clearly hurting inside, why does she have to appear so strong in front of him?
Ye Que's face was serious as he responded bluntly, "No, I'm not okay."
"Huh?"
Chi Zaozao panicked when she heard he wasn't okay and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Where are you? Why does everything feel so off?"
Ye Que stared at her intently and said, "Zaozao, I know you're not feeling well. I'm sorry, it's my fault that you're hurting. Wait for me—I'll come back as soon as I can."
Watching Chi Zaozao like this, did Ye Que feel any better?
That feeling was like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart, leaving him utterly broken and in pain.
He would definitely return as soon as possible. Once he was back, no matter what happened in the future, he would never leave her alone again.
Never again.
