When I saw the news about Zhou Jihuai getting married, I actually felt a sense of relief.

The two people in the footage looked so well-matched.

Both in appearance and family background.

Anyone who saw them would say they were a perfect match, a pair made in heaven.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but call Zhou Jihuai.

The man answered quickly.

His tone carried a hint of teasing:

"Baby, what made you suddenly think of calling me today? What, do you miss me?"

"How about this, give me a kiss, and I might just come to see you..."

Before he could finish, I interrupted him.

"Zhou Jihuai, let's break up."

There was a moment of silence on the other end before he burst out angrily:

"Break up? Xie Tangtang, are you crazy?"

"What have I done to wrong you? How dare you bring up breaking up with me?"

"Just you wait, I'm coming to see you right now."

After saying that, he didn't give me a chance to speak again and hung up the phone.

Looking at the darkened phone screen, my eyes started to sting.

I've been with Zhou Jihuai for eight years.

He's the most reckless playboy in the circle, yet he chose a naïve girl like me as his girlfriend.

At first, everyone thought that he had eaten too much rich food and wanted something light for a change, just a momentary whim.

Even my best friend advised me not to get too entangled with someone like him.

She said that guys like him were just toying with me and wouldn't be serious.

If I dated him, I would only end up getting hurt.

I didn't believe it.

He fought for me, sought medical treatment for me, stayed away from all the other women for me, and even risked his life to save me from fire.

How could he possibly be just playing around with me?

So I clung to him year after year.

People around us went from finding it funny to being shocked.

At every gathering, Zhou Jihuai's friends would always find ways to ask him:

"Are you serious?"

"Are you really going to marry Xie Tangtang?"

"With our kind of family backgrounds, it's impossible to marry a girl from an ordinary family. Don't be foolish."

Zhou Jihuai would always remain silent in response.

Just when everyone thought he was deeply in love with me, I overheard him on the phone with his sister:

"I'm just playing around with her, it's not like I'm going to marry her. Why is mom so angry?"

"A little deaf girl, dreaming of marrying me? She better think if she even qualifies."

"Sis, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Yeah, he's not stupid.

Knowing full well that he would never marry me, I still pretended not to know, clinging to his kindness, staying by his side day after day.

But now, he's getting married.

No matter how low I could get, I wouldn't stoop to being his underground lover.

With these thoughts, I silently quickened my pace in packing my luggage.

But before I could finish, the man burst in and knocked all my luggage to the ground.

Items scattered all over the floor.

I was stunned for a moment.

Then I bent down to pick them up, only to be pulled into Zhou Jihuai's arms.
