Tears streamed down Yang Liu'er's face as she turned away. "Of course I remember."
Bai Junfan gently wiped her tears away and turned her face to his. "We're meant to spend our lives together. A lifetime is long, and things are never perfectly smooth for anyone. We're bound to run into problems here and there, but you have to trust me. I will always love you and protect you! You can't just get upset and make a scene over a small conflict, talking about breaking up and cutting all ties. Do you know how much that hurts me? How could we possibly split up? Liu'er, you have to admit it. You can't live without me, and I can't lose you. We've grown into one. We can never be separated!"
Yang Liu'er kept her head down, tears streaming uncontrollably. But she didn't lean into Bai Junfan's embrace. She knew that at times like this, she had to stay rational and keep a clear head—a lesson learned through countless bitter experiences.
Besides, a heart, once fractured, doesn't mend so easily.
