37 What? He's not there?

Li Bingbing noticed that as Xia Sinian's graduation drew close, Xia Sinian started to ignore her and make excuses to avoid her.

At first, Li Bingbing thought that it was because of how busy he became that was why she never questioned since she understood his situation but on the day of Xia Sinian's graduation, he met with her in private.

"Sisi!" Li Bingbing jogged towards him. "Where are you go-"

"Li Bingbing, let's break up." Xia Sinian said with a blank look on his face.

His words caught her off-guard that she wasn't able to respond with what he said.

"Let's break up." Xia Sinian repeated his face void of emotions.

"Stop joking. We're not breaking up." Although Li Bingbing said this with a calm voice, she started getting nervous inside.

"We have to. Starting from now on, I will have no time for you. I have set my eyes on making the Xia Company great."

"Bullsh*t!" She glared at him. "You're breaking up with me just because of that damn family business of yours?"

"Yes. I've wasted enough time on you. From now on, I need to use it wisely."

His words tore Li Bingbing's heart into pieces, she felt suffocated because of the pain he inflicted in her.

She never expected this day would come. Even if his reason was not about another girl, she still got hurt because of his cold words.

Her eyes started becoming blurry because of her tears. "Sinian... please, don't do this. I can make time for us. If you're busy, then I won't disturb you... but please... please don't do this. I love you. Let's not break up."

"You're just going to be a burden to me. I'm sorry, Bingbing. Even if you say that you'll make time for us, I cannot make time for you. It's time for us to grow up."

Who would have thought that everything would start and end with graduation days?

She couldn't believe that he was sacrificing their love for his family business. They could talk things through but no, he won't even do that.

Her father has chosen his business over her family and now, Xia Sinian was doing the same. What was so important with those damn business?

"You know what? Fine! Don't come begging for me to return to you once you realize that you can't live without me! I'll definitely give you a good beating once you come begging for me!" She turned and ran away, leaving him there. She was crying while heading out of the campus.

Xia Sinian lowered his head as he clenched his fists tight. She was a woman that came from a normal family while he was a man who came from an elite family. Now that the company was given to him, he will have to do everything to raise it high since... he once promised his deceased father that he will make the Xia Company great again. With the limited time he has left, Xia Sinian couldn't help but focus his eyes on it instead.

...

After packing her things and leaving the apartment, Li Bingbing waited every day for him to come to get her from her parent's place. She thought that maybe, after a few days, Xia Sinian would come and realize that he couldn't bear the pain of being away from her.

But when Li Bingbing realize that it wasn't going to happen, she tried calling him but he never answered. She messaged him about meeting at a restaurant but he never arrived even if she waited and waited.

This broke her heart and because of this, she was in great pain. Was he really never going to show up? Was it really over for both of them? Why was he so cruel? He knew how much she loved him.

They could have work things out between them. Everything was going well so what happened to him? Why did he change his mind about them?

"What? He's not there?"

"Yes, ge ge moved out of the house a few days ago. He didn't tell me why but my grandparents allowed him to move out. What happened between you two?" Xia Meilin asked through the outer line.

"We... we broke up..."

"You... broke up?! Why? How? What happened?"

Li Bingbing tears rolled down her cheeks and she couldn't help but breakdown when she realized that everything wasn't a dream... they really broke up.

Without answering Xia Meilin, Li Bingbing ended the call and curled on her bed. She couldn't help but think about where did she made a mistake?
