Chapter 2613: Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (131)
At a close distance, Qiao Ruoxi could smell the strong odor of alcohol coming from his body. She guessed that he must have drunk a lot.
He remembered that he rarely drank in the past, and he did not drink much during social engagements. He said that as a qualified lawyer, he had to maintain a clear mind at all times.
But now, he drank so much in broad daylight.
She knew very well that she could not have anything to do with him anymore. “Mr. Qin, we have nothing to talk about anymore. Please let go.”
She had changed her way of addressing him.
She called him “Mr. Qin.”
The unfamiliar and distant name was like a knife that stabbed straight into his heart.
Qin Xuming could not describe his heartache. He stared at her with his reddened eyes, hoping to see his own reflection in her eyes.
But there was nothing. She did not even look at him.
“Qiao Ruoxi, do you really look down on me that much? Don’t tell me that you don’t even have the time to listen to me after breaking up?”
His voice was filled with self-mockery and a bitter smile. “That’s true. You’re now the wife of a wealthy man. You look down on a poor man like me.”
Qiao Ruoxi had never looked down on him. On the contrary, she had always admired him and his ability.
He could have inherited his father’s business and become a young master, but he had learned the law and started a law firm from scratch.
She used to love seeing him defend the defendant in court.
The way he talked was unrestrained, just the way she liked it.
But if he hadn’t cheated on her, they might not have come this far.
“Fine. What do you want to say?”
She stopped and pulled her arm back, giving him some time to speak.
Qin Xuming drank a little too much and needed his arm to support himself against the wall. His eyes were filled with sadness as he said slowly, “I’m sorry, Ruoxi… I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that my mother went to look for you.”
“I guess she must’ve said a lot of things that hurt your pride.
“Ruoxi, you have to know that my mother is my mother, and I am me. She cannot represent me, and I rarely contact them.
“We don’t have to follow their wishes. They have no right to interfere with us.
“If you want to break up with me because of this, then I refuse.”
“Ruoxi, I apologize for her actions. Please consider it and give me another chance.”
“Leave Feng Yunan and start over.”
Even though he was drunk, his mind was still clear.
But what was the use of saying it?
They could no longer go back. Breaking up meant breaking up. Moreover, this breakup had almost cut off all of her future paths.
She had no way out.
“Do you want to hear the truth, Qin Xuming?” Qiao Ruoxi asked.
“Yes.” He nodded.
Qiao Ruoxi took a deep breath and said, “I’ve never looked down on you. I didn’t break up with you out of spite.”
“We’ve been doomed ever since you started cheating behind my back.
“Please don’t come looking for me again. Don’t have any fantasies. I won’t start over with you again.”
“I hope you can forget me and start your own life again. This is what I want the most.
“As long as you live well, I will give you my blessings.”
She was also very sincere when she said it. She was standing from the perspective of someone who had once loved him. She sincerely hoped that he could give up on his obsession and start a new life.
It was very difficult to persuade a person who had gone too far, unless he thought it through one day.
At this moment, Qin Xuming could not listen to her. He only knew that his love had been taken away from him. He had lost his girlfriend and his heart was empty. It was unbearable and painful.
He was immersed in pain and could not extricate himself.
Qiao Ruoxi sighed and walked past him. After a few steps, she heard Qin Xuming’s voice behind her. “But do you know how scary he is?”
