Chapter 834: Please... Don’t Leave Me

“Ze Li, can you forgive me? On account of our many years of friendship, can you forgive me this time? I’ve already lost Ah Si, I can’t lose you as well. If you leave me too, what should I do in the future?

“You’re all ignoring me, what am I supposed to do alone?”

Shen Rou had never shown such a weak side to him.

Even though Gong Zeli already knew the truth, he still couldn’t bear to see her like this.

He had thought it through. He had never loved Shen Rou.

But this was the woman he doted on and protected for 10 years.

In these 10 years, he had given his all.

When he found out that she’d lied to him, he was sad.

He almost gave in to Shen Rou’s tears.

But the moment he thought of what she’d done, the tenderness in his eyes vanished.

If he forgave her just like that, then he was really a fool.

He really should be tricked by her.

He didn’t want to be an idiot anymore.

After thinking it through, he regained his rationality and pulled his arm away. “Rourou, we both need some time to calm down. I can’t pretend that nothing happened.

“Let go, you shouldn’t be like this. You’re the proud Young Lady Shen, it’s not nice to beg someone like this.”

“N-No...”

Shen Rou grabbed his hand again as tears trailed down her pale face. At this moment, she seemed to have given up on her dignity as she begged him. “Ah Li, don’t go. I was wrong, I know I was wrong.

“Give me another chance. Will you forgive me just this once?

“I lied to you because I care about you. I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t mean it...

“Ah Si has already cut off all ties with me. If you leave me too... I’ll really have nothing left. I’ve never begged you before. In the past, you said that as long as I asked, you’d do anything for me.

“Then, I beg you... don’t leave me, alright?”

She was already begging him.

She’d never been so humble before Gong Zeli.

She thought that he wouldn’t have a heart of stone anymore since she was already so pathetic.

But he only looked at her deeply and continued to pry her hand away.

“Shen Rou, don’t be like this. I’ve said it before, we need time to calm down.”

Gong Zeli pushed her hand away, opened the door, and left without looking back.

Shen Rou watched as he walked further and further away until he disappeared around the corner.

She collapsed at the door.

The moment Gong Zeli disappeared, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She couldn’t stand up anymore.

The pain made her pale face even paler.

She reached out and pressed her hand against her heart, puzzled as to why she felt such heartache.

Was it because she was used to Gong Zeli’s company?

Hence, it hurt when she felt that she was going to lose him.

It should be like this.

They’d known each other for over a decade.

He’d been good to her for all that time.
