"Jiali, don't be so cold to me. My heart aches." Gao Qiang clutched his heart, his expression one of extreme agony.
"Hmph." Xu Jiali scoffed. Thinking of the cruel things Gao Qiang had said to her, she found her heart no longer ached. It was perfectly calm, without a single ripple.
Her hatred for him now was as absolute as her love for him once was.
"Jiali." Gao Qiang suddenly dropped to his knees, begging for Xu Jiali's forgiveness. "I was wrong, Jiali. I truly know I was wrong. I didn't know what was good for me. I must have been possessed. Jiali, I never should have said those cruel things to you. Jiali, that wasn't what I really meant. I love you, how could I ever bear to hurt you? It was Qiao Wei! Qiao Wei misled me, it was all her..."
"Qiao Wei didn't force you to say those cruel things to me," Xu Jiali cut in, unable to listen to any more of it.
