When she uttered those words, it was akin to delivering a heavy blow straight to Lu Jincheng's heart.
In fact, Lu Jincheng had been prepared, and after witnessing the intimacy between Ji Yao and Qi Huai'an, as well as Qi Huai'an's affection for Ji Jiaxin, he had his guesses. He just never wanted to admit it, instead deceiving himself.
But now, as the person before him uttered those words, Lu Jincheng still felt a pang in his heart.
His lips moved awkwardly, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, he forced out a smile uglier than crying.
"Is that so?"
The retort came with a tremble, causing Ji Yao's heart to feel all sorts of discomfort.
Yet, to sever ties with him and to cut off his lingering hopes,
she steeled her heart, her gaze gradually becoming firm and rational.
