Facing Yi Yuanze's burning gaze, Meng Yunhan's subconscious move was to escape. As she unbuckled his seat belt, he said: "Just send me here, I'll take a taxi over there."

The moment the car door was opened, Yi Yuanze grabbed her arm and said: "Where are you going? "I'll send you off …"

"No need, I can do it myself." Meng Yunhan rejected his good intentions and tried to break free from his restraints.

Yi Yuanze's hand suddenly exerted force, causing Meng Yunhan's body to uncontrollably move closer to him, "Meng Yunhan, don't think that I don't know who you're going to see."

"Since you know, then let me go." Meng Yunhan looked at him fiercely. She had finished acting out the scenes that she should have accompanied him to the Yi family residence.

"Aren't you afraid that you will pay a heavy price for this?" Yi Yuanze's threats were always as silent as always. Even though his voice was soft, it was especially ear-piercing in this small carriage.

Meng Yunhan's brows slightly raised, and she felt very helpless. In front of him, her own proud and arrogant heart was always trampled into the depths of the earth.

"Last time. This is the last time …" Meng Yunhan's voice of compromise was even more sorrowful than Yi Yuanze had imagined. The woman he loved deeply actually gave in to him time and time again for the sake of another man? He already did not know what to do with her.

"Meng Yunhan, you two have already broken up and have nothing to do with each other. Do you understand?" Yi Yuanze was a little angry, and his emotions were stirred, even his voice was getting louder.

When Yi Yuanze said this, Meng Yunhan felt that she did not feel any pain in her heart. Her worry for Gu Jing did not seem to be due to love, but it was a very strange feeling, it was guilt, guilt that had hurt him, and also gratitude. She thanked him for his company and help over the years, but from the looks of it now, all of this did not seem to have anything to do with love.

It was as if at this moment, Meng Yunhan had clearly seen her own heart. The reason why she wanted to appear in front of Gu Jing when she was in need of help was because when she herself needed help, Gu Jing had also immediately appeared by his side.

Meng Yunhan shook her head to clear her mind, she did not agree with her current thoughts, she did not want to deny that she had only relied on Gu Jing for so long.

"It won't, it's not like that …"

"What are you talking about?" Meng Yunhan's headless words confused Yi Yuanze. He furrowed her brows and asked.

Meng Yunhan looked at Yi Yuanze, who was still holding onto him and not willing to let go, and felt very unhappy in his heart. While he was still distracted, Meng Yunhan pushed him away forcefully and roared: "Stay away from me.

Then, she got off the car and started running. If it wasn't for Yi Yuanze, she wouldn't have left the country in grief, and wouldn't have liked him and relied on him when he was with her. And now, she definitely wouldn't have disturbed her relationship with Gu Jing just because of his reappearance.

Yi Yuanze looked at Meng Yunhan's back figure in shock, then started the car and chased after him.

Now, Meng Yunhan seemed to have lost control of her emotions. Although Yi Yuanze had not figured out the situation, and he did not know what he said wrongly, the worry that subconsciously sprouted in his heart was the most real.

After running for who knows how long in the cold night, Meng Yunhan finally stopped. She no longer had energy, and she was no longer cold.

Yi Yuanze, who had been following behind her, stopped, he subconsciously opened the car door and got off, but after thinking about it, he sat back down in the car and closed the door, only looking at Meng Yunhan who was standing not far in front of him.

The cold wind blew past Meng Yunhan's thoughts, making her feel extremely clear, but she did not like this feeling, because right now, she was recalling every single detail of her time with Gu Jing. That feeling, in her heart, did not seem like the feeling of being in love at all.

Although Meng Yunhan didn't know whether or not Gu Jing felt the same way, she knew that she really did feel this way when she thought about it. Even if she didn't want to admit it in her heart, this was the truth.

Of the two men that appeared in Meng Yunhan's life before, one of them was her greatest love, but the one that had hurt her the most. The other one was the man she thought she loved the most.

The phone rang again. Looking at the unfamiliar number, although Meng Yunhan hesitated for a moment, in the end she still answered.

"When are you going to pick up your friend?"

Meng Yunhan used her peripheral vision to glance at Yi Yuanze, who was not far behind him, and said to the person on the other side of the phone: "Find a car and send him back, I can't."

"What?" "He can't come, didn't you say before that you would be there in a moment? Now that you said you couldn't come, you even asked me to call a car to take him back, but he still hasn't paid for the wine yet." The last sentence was what the person wanted to say the most. He did not want to help Gu Jing pay for the wine later on.

"You …" With the phone suddenly taken away, Meng Yunhan was extremely shocked. She looked at Yi Yuanze who had appeared beside him at some point in time, and her eyes widened.

Yi Yuanze took Meng Yunhan's phone, and directly hung up. Meng Yunhan reached out to grab the phone in his hand, but since Yi Yuanze was hiding behind him, he did not plan to return it to her. Now that Yi Yuanze had reached the limit of his patience, if he did not let him do anything, he would be driven mad.

Meng Yunhan saw that she was unable to take back her phone, so she sneered and shook her head, then continued to lean against the fence, and did not speak. In truth, she was still a little grateful to Yi Yuanze, and thanked him for helping her make the choice when she was hesitating, but it was just that Meng Yunhan was not able to accept his method from the bottom of her heart.

was a little surprised by Meng Yunhan's current actions. He had originally thought that Meng Yunhan would quarrel with him greatly, or even turn around and leave.

The phone rang once more. Yi Yuanze took a glance at it before immediately turning off his phone. From start to finish, Meng Yunhan did not even turn around to take a look.

He took off his jacket and draped it over Meng Yunhan's shoulders. This action of his also attracted Meng Yunhan's attention, and as he turned his head to look at the clothes on her shoulder, Meng Yunhan was no longer able to endure it. She turned around to look at him, and said: "Yi Yuanze, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yes, what exactly does he want to do? His actions were unfathomable, Meng Yunhan did not know why he chose to give up all those years ago, and why she would return now to disrupt her own life, and her own heart.

Now even he didn't know what he was actually doing. He had clearly been planning for so long just to take revenge on Meng Yunhan and torture her, but when he saw Meng Yunhan again, he softened his heart time and time again and deviated from the path he had set out to follow. He also wanted to know what exactly he was going to do.

"I want you to stay with me." Yi Yuanze revealed the truest thought in the depths of his heart. Even though it was so emotional, Meng Yunhan suddenly felt it was funny.

"Stay by your side? Are you torturing me? Yi Yuanze, I spent five years, five years, and finally, I have completely driven you away from my world. Why did you come back? On what basis? " Meng Yunhan clenched his fist and fiercely punched Yi Yuanze in the chest. She lost control of the emotions in her heart, and she wanted to vent all of the discontent he had towards him.

As Meng Yunhan continued to whimper, she suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, "Meng Yunhan, do you really not want to see me? That's why you took five years to forget about me. Fine, since it's like this, I'll leave you by my side for the rest of my life. You don't want to see me, but I'll let you see every single day.

Yi Yuanze reminded himself over and over again in his heart that everything he was doing right now was completely forced on his by Meng Yunhan. Now is the time to pay the price.

"Yi Yuanze, what qualifications do you have to say something like that to me? What right do you have to treat me like this? Am I that useless in your eyes? " Meng Yunhan struggled to break free from Yi Yuanze's restraints.

Meng Yunhan no longer hated the man in front of her anymore. She hated him, hated him, hated him to the bones.

"Because this is what you owe me over the years." The anger in the depths of Yi Yuanze's eyes could no longer be hidden, he spat out these words while grinding his teeth.

Suddenly, a resounding slap landed on Yi Yuanze's face, followed by a scorching pain that seemed to cover his anger.

Meng Yunhan ruthlessly slapped him across the face. She had never thought that Yi Yuanze would be so shameless to actually say that she owed him so many years, "Yi Yuanze, what you did all those years ago, you know clearly in your heart that I never owed you anything. Even if it was because I owe you, it would only be the seven million that I owe you today."

After saying that, Meng Yunhan turned and left. She felt that there was no need to continue talking to Yi Yuanze, although so many years had passed, he was still the same stubborn, prejudiced, and unreasonable person he was back then.

Yi Yuanze rubbed his aching cheeks, looked at Meng Yunhan who was walking forward without looking back, frowned, and did not give chase. Instead, he extended his hand out and struck the fence on the side of the river ruthlessly.

Now, it seemed that he was not angry that Meng Yunhan had hit him, but angry that he always had to be soft-hearted towards that cold-hearted woman. Until Meng Yunhan disappeared from his sight, Yi Yuanze did not give chase, and only after standing by the river for a long while did he pick up the coat that had fallen on the ground, and once again returned to the car.

It was already late at night as Meng Yunhan walked down the street wearing thin clothes. Icy-cold tears wantonly rolled down her face and what hurt was not her skin but her heart.

The memory of the past that had always been hidden by Meng Yunhan was suddenly brought up when Yi Yuanze appeared once again. The pain that she found hard to bear back then was pushed to the extreme.

At the same time, Yi Yuanze sat in the carriage, thinking about what Meng Yunhan had said. She was in a daze, 12 o'clock had arrived, a new day had come, and the reminder from Meng Yunhan's phone had allowed him to slowly regain her senses.
