I stared at Lu Qinan with wide eyes, and in the end, he looked pleasantly surprised while I looked disgusted.

"Ruo Ruo, you're not dead?"

In the face of his regained eyes, I poured cold water without mercy, "I'm dead. I'm currently in a ghostly state. Although I don't know why you can see me, it feels quite unlucky."

Lu Qinan didn't mind my gloomy attitude at all. He looked at me with soft eyes, "As long as you're by my side, I'll be content."

I sneered, "What's with the pretense of deep affection? Aren't you going to marry Li Qingyao?"

"Don't worry, I won't marry her."

"I don't care."

I didn't want to stay by Lu Qinan's side, but I found that my range of movement could only be around Lu Qinan, which made me very frustrated.

However, Lu Qinan was very happy and satisfied.

Looking at his face, anger surged within me. Suddenly, a malicious thought arose in my heart, and I spoke softly, "Lu Qinan, that matter isn't over yet. You don't know what happened afterwards. Let me tell you what happened."

"I managed to escape, but Li Qingyao suffered. However, she blamed everything she went through on me. She reported to the police, saying that I instructed a thug to assault her, and that thug actually insisted that I paid him to do it."

"I was expelled from school. Fortunately, I started school a year earlier than others, so I was still under 18 at the time. I didn't have to go to jail, but I ended up in a juvenile correctional facility. I stayed there for a year and developed severe depression. My parents used all the savings in our house to take me to see doctors. It took several years of treatment before I slowly recovered."

"I picked up my books again, self-studied for a year, and took the college entrance examination. I got into a second-tier university, but by the time I graduated, I was already 26. I struggled to find a job because no one wanted a person who had depression, even though I had a doctor's certificate proving that I had recovered. Later, I interviewed at your company. Coincidentally, the HR person there had a family member with depression, so she sympathized with me and kept me. That's how I met you, and at that time, you were really good to me. But since the day Li Qingyao came to the company and saw me, you became another person who hurt me."

"Lu Qinan, if I had known about your relationship with Li Qingyao, I would never have interviewed at your company. Then I wouldn't have met you, and I wouldn't have to suffer again. Maybe I wouldn't have to die."

"Lu Qinan, I really loved you once, so I endured all those little actions you took to retaliate against me for Li Qingyao. But ever since you abandoned me at the drinking party, I no longer love you."

"Ruo Ruo!" Lu Qinan's eyes turned red, and he lunged toward me, wanting to hold me, but he passed through my body and couldn't touch anything.

My words filled him with remorse and guilt. This grown man actually squatted on the ground, pounding the floor and crying, "I'm sorry, Ruo Ruo, I didn't know..."

Watching him in his current state, a sense of revenge welled up in my heart.

"It's all Li Qingyao's fault, all Li Qingyao's!" He looked at me with red eyes, determination on his face. "I promised my mother to marry Li Qingyao, originally planning to ditch her at the wedding to seek revenge for you. But now, my revenge on her won't be so light, Ruo Ruo, please believe me, I will make Li Qingyao pay the price!"
