Chapter 412 I want to move away, don't stop me
With the heavy sound of the car door closing, Jiang Ning's taillights gradually moved away in the night.
Gu Yuan was left standing alone on the street, his heart as if tightly bound by an invisible rope, suffocating and painful.
He knew that this misunderstanding was more serious than any previous one because it involved the foundation of their emotions.
After returning home, Gu Yuan sat on the sofa, holding the old photo tightly in his hand. In the photo, he and Lin Wei were youthful and smiling brightly. Those were memories from many years ago, but now they were ruthlessly dug out and became an obstacle between him and Jiang Ning.
He sighed deeply and decided to give Jiang Ning some time and space, and also give himself some time to think about how to repair this relationship.
On that gloomy afternoon, Jiang Ning stood in the middle of the living room of the villa, looking around at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment.
Every piece of furniture, every painting, and even every pot of green plants, carries the memory of her life with Gu Yuan. However, at this moment, her heart is full of disappointment and determination.
She had just learned that the relationship between Gu Yuan and Lin Wei was not simply one of helper and helped, but that there was an emotional entanglement that she had never known about, and the relationship between the two was much more complicated than she had imagined.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering all her trust and reliance on Gu Yuan.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
She knew that she could no longer escape or deceive herself.
She must make a choice, and this choice will be an important turning point in her life.
She began to pack her luggage, and each piece of clothing was neatly folded in the box. Every time she put an item in, it was like saying goodbye to the past.
Her movements were firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.
There were no tears in her eyes, only determination and resoluteness.
When Gu Yuan returned home and found several suitcases piled in the living room, his heart sank.
He hurried upstairs and saw Jiang Ning sorting out the last of his belongings in the bedroom.
"What are you doing?!"
Gu Yuan's voice was filled with panic and uncertainty.
Jiang Ning stopped what she was doing and turned to face Gu Yuan. Her eyes were firm and cold:
"I'm moving out, Gu Yuan. It's time for us to calm down. I can't accept living with someone who betrayed me."
Gu Yuan's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. He walked forward and wanted to grab Jiang Ning's hand, but she gently dodged it.
"Jiang Ning, listen to me, things are not what you think. There is really nothing between Lin Wei and me. I can explain..."
There was a hint of pleading in Gu Yuan's words.
Jiang Ning shook her head, her voice calm and firm:
"I've heard enough explanations, Gu Yuan. What I need is not an explanation, but honesty and respect. Since you can't do it, then I can only choose to leave."
Gu Yuan stood there in a daze. He watched Jiang Ning walk towards the door step by step, and endless regret surged in his heart.
This time, I'm afraid Jiang Ning has really made up his mind.
Jiang Ning dragged her suitcase and walked out of the villa's gate. Her back looked determined and lonely.
She didn't look back because she knew that if she looked back, she might lose the courage to leave.
Gu Yuan stood at the door, looking in the direction where Jiang Ning left, his heart filled with pain and self-blame.
He knew that all this was his fault and that he had destroyed their happiness with his own hands.
With Jiang Ning's departure, the villa became empty and Gu Yuan's heart also became empty.
He sat on the sofa, looking out the window at the gradually falling night, with only one thought in his mind.
——No matter what, he must win back Jiang Ning, no matter how great the price.
After settling down in her new residence, Jiang Ning began to re-examine her life.
She knew that although leaving Gu Yuan made her extremely painful, it was also the beginning of her growth and independence.
She was determined to live a good life and no longer rely on anyone, including Gu Yuan.
Love is not just sweet words, but also the embodiment of trust, respect and responsibility. All of these need to be slowly rebuilt through time and effort.
From the moment Jiang Ning moved out of the villa, Gu Yuan's world seemed to have lost its color.
He thought he had everything, but he accidentally lost the most important thing.
Whenever he stepped into the empty villa, every corner silently told of Jiang Ning's existence, and his heart was filled with endless self-blame and regret.
Gu Yuan began to reflect on his behavior and realized how stupid and short-sighted he was in handling his relationship with Lin Wei.
He did not clarify the facts in time and did not give Jiang Ning enough trust and sense of security, which eventually led to the estrangement and separation of the two.
He knew that all this was caused by himself and that he was the one who pushed love out of his life.
In order to win back Jiang Ning, Gu Yuan began to take action. He first made his position clear to Lin Wei, telling her clearly that they could only be friends and would not do anything beyond the limit.
Afterwards, he began to send messages to Jiang Ning frequently to express his apologies and his longing for her, although most of the time the responses he received were cold rejections.
Gu Yuan did not give up. He began to try various ways to get close to Jiang Ning.
He would wait for her on her way home from get off work, just to give her a warm dinner; he would linger downstairs of her new home, just to see her from afar; he would also give her carefully selected gifts and a long letter, expressing his inner regret and commitment to the future.
However, Jiang Ning's defense seemed indestructible.
But in Jiang Ning's opinion, the disappointment in her heart was accumulating more and more. It turned out that Gu Yuan would do all these things, but he would not do them unless it was absolutely necessary.
She remained indifferent to Gu Yuan's efforts. She needed time to heal her inner trauma and space to re-examine her feelings and life.
Gu Yuan's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He was afraid of losing Jiang Ning and afraid that he would never have the chance to make up for his past mistakes.
As the days passed, Gu Yuan's efforts seemed to be paying off.
Jiang Ning's attitude gradually softened. She began to respond to Gu Yuan's messages occasionally, and even at certain moments, she would show a long-lost smile.
Gu Yuan saw hope. He knew he still had a chance. As long as he didn't give up, he would be able to win back Jiang Ning's heart one day.
One evening a few days later, Gu Yuan finally plucked up the courage and called Jiang Ning.
The ringing sound from the other end of the phone seemed like a countdown to his heartbeat, and every ring made him nervous.
Finally, the call was connected, and Jiang Ning's voice was calm and distant.
"it's me."
Gu Yuan's voice was trembling.
"I know you probably don't want to hear my voice right now, but I really need to talk to you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Jiang Ning's voice came slowly:
"What do you want to talk about?"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound firm and sincere:
"Regarding Lin Wei's matter, I admit that I didn't tell you about our past in time. This is my fault. But I hope you can understand that it is in the past. Now I am devoted to you wholeheartedly. I don't want to lose you because of the misunderstanding between us."
"Oh."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, but just snorted lightly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained and he was no longer able to say another word.
Then she hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Gu Yuan on the other end anxious.
However, just by this brief hum, Gu Yuan keenly captured the key information.
——Jiang Ning is sick!
