Chapter 76 - does he still loves her?

By the time Ru Shi climbed the stairs to her apartment, her cheeks were wet with tears, and she doesn't know if she can wait for him.

She fumbles for her keys to open the door. She remembers the last time she came here it was because they had a fight. Then he came to seduce her again.

She wonders if...

The sound of a phone ringing broke through her thoughts.

Ru Shi looked at the caller ID and picked it up

"Ru Shi where are you?"

Shen Ruyi's worried voice can be heard on the phone.

Ru Shi cleared her throat as she answered.

"I came home because I wasn't feeling well".

Shen Ruyi frowned her eyebrows when she heard her wobbly voice.

"Wait are you about to cry or you were crying?"

Ru Shi sighed she knows Shen Ruyi can hear the little change in her voice.

"Yes I was watching a movie and it's pretty sad."

Ru Shi lied as she didn't want to worry her friend.

"But didn't you just get home? When did you get time to watch a movie."

Shen Ruyi asked doubtfully.

"That... have you met my cousin before?"

She can feel that something was wrong with her but why doesn't she want to tell her.

And what's with that conversation with her cousin. Do they know each other?

Ru Shi stiffened when she heard her question.

"Aah, what did you say? I can't hear you. See you tomorrow, Bye."

Ru Shi said it in one breath as she hung up the phone.

She walked towards her bed and opened her drawer.

She looked at the pictures she took with Mu Chang when they went on their first date.

She smiled as she saw his funny look in the picture.

Tears wet her cheeks as she remembered all the good times they had.

Even though Mu Chang has lied to her or made her insecure in this relationship, he never treated her bad.

He always made her happy.

An excruciating pain hit her heart as she remembered the words he said at the hospital.

"I love you, Ru Shi."

At that moment she thought he has figured what he wants but everything was a lie

She sighed as she laid down on her back.

Why is her luck so bad in relationsh.i.p.s? Why does she always fall for guys who always think about themselves in a relationship?

Did she make the right decision? What if he never figures this out?

She sighed.

The words of Zhang Wei echoed in her heard

"You should fight for your man, don't let anyone come between you especially an ex."

But what is she supposed to do?

He has to choose between her or his ex and she hopes he doesn't disappoint her.

Mu Chang sat down on the balcony with a bottle of wine in his hands as he looked into space.

His heart hurts. He can still see the hurt, pain and disappointment in her eyes.

All he ever did in this relationship was to hurt her.

Maybe he doesn't really deserve her. But why does the thought of leaving her scares him?

He closed his eyes as the words she said rang in his mind

"I've been through so much Mu Chang. I build walls around me but for you, I broke down those walls. I expected so much from this relationship but you let me down. You don't even know what you want. You keep thinking about you, your everything is about you! When will you think about me huh? This is a relationship, not a freaking dictatorship. You can't think or decide for me"

He really has disappointed her. She's right though.

Maybe if he had told her, maybe if he had directly called Wang Lu at that time then all of this wouldn't have happened.

By now Ru Shi would've been here with him.

He isn't gonna let a bad relationship stop him from enjoying this moment!

Even though he owes Qin Jieli, he has paid her enough and he'll help her when she needs help.

But this time he has to draw a line with her. He'll only jeopardize any future relationship if he's still close with her.

He took out his phone and looked at the pictures he took of Ru Shi.

For the first time in his life, he has failed.

He has failed the one person he promised to love and cherish.

All the vows he made at the hospital was still vivid in his mind.

He promised to always put a smile on her face but only tears and heartache has he given her.

Maybe she's right

His eyes filled with determination he called the human resource manager

"Boss"

The manager answered nervously

Why is he calling him at this late of the night?

"Terminate our contract with Miss Qin"

Mu Chang said dully

The manager who was about to enjoy the night with his wife got up from bed

When he heard Mu Chang

"But boss! We'll have to pay a large sum of money as compensation."

Mu Chang took a sip of his drink as he listened to the manager

"I know, I'll pay from my personal money. You don't worry. Just focus on looking for a new chief architect"

Without waiting for his reply Mu Chang hung up the phone.

The manager frowned as he looked at his phone.

Why does his boss sound a little weird?

He looked again to check that it was really him who called him.

But why will his boss suddenly terminate the contract with Miss Qin?

"Honey, are you coming?"

The dissatisfied voice of his wife sounded behind him pulling him out of his thoughts.

He temporarily put down his thoughts as he joined his wife on the bed.

Mu Chang looked at the stars in the sky as he laughed bitterly

"I know you're also disappointed with your big brother right?"

He whispered to no one in particular as he took a sip of his drink.

"Li Mu Chang?"

Mu Chang heard his name.

When he turned he saw Qin Jieli standing in front of him.

He furrowed his brows as he stared at her.

What is she doing here?

Wait, how did she even get inside

Unknown to Mu Chang when he was arguing with Ru Shi at the club she was hiding in the shadows.

She heard from Wang Lu that they'll meet at the club tonight but the moment she arrived she saw him and Ru Shi arguing in the dark alley.

And it seems that she's the reason why they were arguing.

Can it be that Mu Chang is still in love with her?

Of course, there's no way she'll let go of this opportunity.

Even though Wang Lu said she should let go, the pride in her will never let her admit defeat.

When she wants something, she'll surely get it!
