241 Disappear from his life

''What have I done?''

Jin Yue said in a whisper, cupping his head with both hands. He knew that getting her back would not be easy, but how could he have imagined that it would be almost impossible?

He knew he did wrong things in the past and he deserved everything he got, but she did not. She did not even deserve the tiniest bit.

It was his entire fault, if he had shown her those pictures; it would not have gotten to this point. What was he going to do? Where would he start from?

Jin Yue felt guilt envelope his entire self and tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

''Unless you find her_ and soon/''

Liling concluded, trying to give the devastated man a bit of hope. She knew that it was not entirely his fault, but what had happened had happened and they had to face the consequences.

''I'll be on my way now.''

Jin Yue said calmly. At that moment, he wanted to be alone. Waves upon waves of the reality washed over him, he immediately stood up and made to walk out of the house.

''Let me drop you off, you are not with your car.''

Liu Wei said as he stood up from the couch. He picked his car keys by the side and strode out of the house, Jin Yue following behind.

Jin Yue opted to be dropped at the company since his car was there. When they arrived, Liu Wei finally spoke after a long while.

''Jin Yue, you take things easy. I understand that you acted irrationally, but the deed has been done and we cannot push back the hands of time. All we are left with is the future, which we must try our best to amend.

You have to find her, and quickly. She must be going through a lot right now and if she is left to heal from her wounds, it may be harder to get her back.''

Liu Wei paused to let the words sink in; the man by his side was staring unblinkingly, outside the window, his hand clutching his hair.

''…Just know I'm here for you whenever you need me.''

Liu Wei concluded, patting his friend on the shoulder.

''Thanks bro. I'll be going now, you take care.''

Jin Yue replied after a few seconds. He opened the car door and got out.

''Yeah''

Liu Wei waited for Jin Yue to go in before driving out of the company.

….

The next day, Liling finished quite early at X-dynasty. Her first album was already ready, there were just some finishing touches to be done, and for the next few days, she was free.

As she walked out of the company, she decided to eat something before going home.

Liling was scrolling through Weibo as she ate and did not notice that someone had sat opposite her.

''Won't you ask me to join you?''

She looked familiar_ awfully familiar.

Sly smile, bright eyes, pearl-like skin_ even though Liling would normally not remember, an incident between them engraved her face at the back of her mind.

Many thoughts flooded Liling's mind as she remembered that this lady was Liu Wei's betrothed. Although he was with her, she couldn't help feeling a bit insecure.

''I'm Da Xia, what's your name?''

Da Xia said still with her daunting smile, she stretched out her hand for a handshake. Liling stared at the outstretched hand for a while, but she did not reach out to take it.

For this lady to be here it meant that she knew that she was together with Liu Wei, she was Liu Wei's betrothed; therefore she was up to no good.

''How can I help you Miss Da Xia? ''

Liling replied, a little frown on her forehead. She had long lost interest in the food before her.

Da Xia laughed lazily as she withdrew her outstretched hand.

''How is my husband, I hear you are taking care of him_ well.''

Hearing that lady refer to Liu Wei as 'husband' irked Liling. She breathed in and picked her coffee, taking a long sip.

''What do you want?''

Liling asked as she dropped the cup. She was clearly irritated. She did not want to spend another second talking with that lady and only courtesy prevented her from walking out of there.

Da Xia nodded _ pleasingly.

''Wow, fierce! I did not see that coming. Oh well, let me go straight to the point, I don't think there is any need beating around the bush.

I want you to leave his side and disappear from his life.''
