nSeeing Du Xueyan’s fragile look, there was nothing Gu Shengyao didn’t understand. “It’s really him…” He couldn’t help feeling that the world was so small. Song Ci’s husband was actually Han Zhan and she was a fan of Du Xueyan…

nDu Xueyan suddenly gave a bitter smile. “It’s him.” She laughed in a self-deprecating manner and said in a low voice, “Three days after he got injured while trying to save someone and had to amputate his two fingers, I dumped him…” Saying that, Du Xueyan gritted her teeth as her eyes reddened slightly.

n

n

nAfter knowing each other for seven years and being in a relationship for five years, Du Xueyan was not completely heartless.

nAll these years, whenever she received even more applause and glory, stepped down from the stage and realized that she didn’t even have someone to share her joy with, she would miss that person terribly.

nBut thinking of Han Zhan, Du Xueyan felt very ashamed.

nIf Du Xueyan felt guilty towards anyone in this life, it would be Han Zhan.

n

n

nEight years ago, Han Zhan was the most highly regarded and respected sniper in the southwest. If everything went according to plan, Han Zhan would definitely become a national weapon that could shoot the enemy in the heart every time!

nBut disaster found him.

nDu Xueyan knew that losing his right index and middle finger would be a devastating blow to an elite sniper. She also knew that if she were to break up, the man who was already struggling on the brink of despair would be sent to hell.

nBut she still broke up with him. She was ambitious and wanted to have a bright future, and Han Zhan couldn’t give her what she wanted.

n

n

nSeeing that Du Xueyan looked guilty as she reminisced, Gu Shengyao suddenly said, “Are you guilty? If you are guilty, then you should maintain your good condition and continue to be popular.”

nGu Shengyao was heartless. If not, he would not be where he was today.

nHe glanced at the dazed Du Xueyan and pointed out even more ruthlessly. “Only by standing in your position, you will not let down your heartless self from back then.”

nThat heartless statement was pinned to Du Xueyan’s body and her lips trembled.

nDu Xueyan asked Gu Shengyao, “Am I a bad woman?”

nGu Shengyao said coldly, “You are a perfect idol.” As a manager, he didn’t want a good woman. He wanted a good artiste.

n

n

nDu Xueyan smirked but didn’t answer.

nGu Shengyao knew what Du Xueyan was thinking. He said in a low voice, “Xueyan, you are not the kind of woman who is willing to lead a peaceful life.”

nDu Xueyan’s expression was slightly stunned. If not for the light makeup covering her original skin color, Gu Shengyao would have definitely seen Du Xueyan’s face turn pale instantly.

nSome women yearned for a peaceful life and a happy family, but Du Xueyan was born to chase after the stars. She was born to sing.

nWhen she was struggling, she yearned for the blue sky and the blue clouds. It was not easy for her to touch the blue sky and see the wider world. How could she be willing to fall again?

nShe might not be able to bear to part with that man, but she definitely wouldn’t regret her actions.

nAs they stopped the car and waited for the traffic light to turn green, Gu Shengyao turned back to look at Du Xueyan, whose eyes were sparkling. He said, “The thing you miss is the throbbing first love, and not that man. If you really loved him so much, you wouldn’t have left him at that point in time.”

nGu Shengyao’s every word was heart-rending and Du Xueyan’s face was ashen.

n

n

nGu Shengyao was right. After graduating from high school, Han Zhan enlisted in the military and Du Xueyan enrolled in the music academy. The two of them were separated by land and rarely saw each other in a year. Regardless of how strong their feelings were, they would gradually become thin and weak, after being separated for so long.

nWithout that signed contract, there would also be other reasons for their breakup. But Du Xueyan had done the most cruel thing to Han Zhan at the most inappropriate time.

nThere were many first loves who ended up breaking up, but it was rare to see such ugly results.

nSeeing Du Xueyan’s remorseful look, a sharp glint flashed across Gu Shengyao’s eyes. He said, “It’s not that you still love him, but it’s because the person you once loved belongs to another woman. Your possessiveness is acting up and you’re just jealous.”

nGu Shengyao’s words completely stripped Du Xueyan of her pretentious and beautiful facade. He exposed that selfish and self-righteous woman.

nDu Xueyan remained silent for a long while before sighing. “You are right.” She was indeed a selfish, cold, and materialistic woman. She was too full of herself and thought that the man who once loved her should love her forever.

nShe wasn’t some cash cow. There was no need for Han Zhan to stand there foolishly and wait for her return.

n…

nHan Zhan was very busy today and didn’t have time to look at his cell phone. By the time he finished his work, the sky had already turned dark. Looking at the time, it was already 8pm.

nHan Zhan had not had dinner. He took out his cell phone and wanted to send Song Ci a video asking if she wanted to come out for dinner. Opening his WeChat, Han Zhan realized that Song Ci had sent him a video and a message at 2pm.

nCi Bao: I see Du Xueyan! She is so beautiful in person!

nUpon seeing the name Du Xueyan, Han Zhan was still somewhat dazed.

nHe snapped out of his trance and clicked on the video calmly. He saw Du Xueyan in a gown amidst the crowd, looking elegant and classy.

n

n

nFame was good for nourishing people. Du Xueyan had been famous for so many years and was getting prettier by the day. Every move she made was like that of a superstar.

nShe was indeed a beauty.

nBut…

nAlthough a beauty was beautiful, there was no way she could affect his heart, even in the slightest way. Han Zhan exited the video, deleted the video expressionlessly, and video-called Song Ci.

nSong Ci quickly accepted the video call.

n“Brother Han.”

nStaring at the background behind Song Ci, Han Zhan asked her, “Are you outside?”

nSong Ci nodded. She raised her cell phone and turned it so that Han Zhan could see her surroundings clearly. After that, the camera focused back on Song Ci’s face. She told Han Zhan, “I’m having dinner outside with Mu Qiu.”

nAt this moment, Mu Qiu’s face appeared on screen again.

nMu Qiu looked up at the camera and greeted him obediently.

n“Mmm.” Han Zhan replied coldly. His attitude towards Mu Qiu was completely different from his attitude towards Song Ci.

nMu Qiu naturally sensed her brother-in-law’s coldness but she didn’t care.

nHan Zhan picked up his briefcase, his jacket, and walked towards the lift while talking on the phone.

nSong Ci asked him, “Are you still at work?”

n“I was about to leave.” Just as he was about to enter the lift, Han Zhan suddenly stopped and looked down at Song Ci. “Have you eaten? If not, wait for me.”

nSong Ci said, “Wait a moment, let me ask Mu Qiu.” Song Ci turned and said to Mu Qiu, “Your brother-in-law hasn’t eaten yet, can I ask him to come over?”

nMu Qiu chuckled. “Of course.”

nOnly then did Song Ci tell Han Zhan the restaurant’s name.

n“I’ll be right there.” Han Zhan hung up the video call and entered the lift.
