Lu Juan was very surprised by He Hansheng’s attitude.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, “No, you’re serious?”
He Hansheng didn’t speak, but he drank glass after glass of wine, indicating his current inner turmoil.
Lu Juan was genuinely surprised.
He Hansheng drowning his sorrows in alcohol, was it because of his feelings?
Lu Juan chuckled.
“Hansheng, as a long-time friend, I advise you, it’s best not to develop feelings for Xu Xingran. Since she said to let go, you should let her go, otherwise…”
He Hansheng’s hand holding the glass paused.
These past few days, facing Xu Xingran’s coldness and prickly attitude, he had indeed considered letting go.
He was born at the top of the pyramid, proud all his life.
It was just a woman, one gone, he could just find another.
However… he couldn’t.
Just thinking about letting go of Xu Xingran, his chest felt like it was being squeezed, unable to breathe.
Like he was suffocating!
As if…
She was his air.
Lu Juan felt a sudden pang of pity for He Hansheng.
“If you really care about Xu Xingran, I can only say, you’re finished. From an outsider’s perspective, you don’t love her at all, you don’t even care about her. To be honest, when you said she wanted to break up with you, my first reaction was that you were freed. You should be relieved.”
Xu Xingran had invested too much emotion and energy in He Hansheng.
She loved him humbly, loved him too much.
But He Hansheng didn’t care.
He felt sorry for the girl with such a burning heart many times.
But He Hansheng was a cold-hearted stone!
In fact, it was inevitable that the two of them wouldn’t work out.
After all, even the most ardent heart can cool down.
The cancellation of the engagement banquet was the catalyst.
To be honest, he was already surprised that Xu Xingran could hold on for seven years.
She could passionately warm up a block of wood like He Hansheng for seven years.
That kind of courage, that kind of perseverance, could be a Guinness World Record.
They all saw Xu Xingran as a joke.
But now…
It seems Xu Xingran is no longer a joke.
The joke became He Hansheng.
Lu Juan actually discovered that He Hansheng had feelings for Xu Xingran!
If that’s the case…
He should light a candle for He Hansheng.
Xu Xingran was a girl who stuck to her convictions.
She was determined to have He Hansheng, and for seven years, her love for him remained as passionate as fire.
She wasn’t a girl who spoke lightly.
So, when she said she wanted to break up…
It probably meant she really didn’t want to have anything to do with He Hansheng anymore.
He Hansheng kept drinking, one glass after another.
He didn’t know how to explain.
He didn’t know how to say it.
He was very satisfied with Xu Xingran.
Obedient, kind, sensible, with a sense of propriety.
The most crucial point, she had no one else to rely on, she could only rely on him.
If he didn’t want to marry her, he wouldn’t have held the engagement banquet.
Even though the engagement banquet didn’t go through.
But in his heart, he always considered Xu Xingran as his future Mrs. He!
How did things come to this?!

He Hansheng, reeking of alcohol, was supported back to the villa by Lu Juan, looking intoxicated.
Xu Xingran was watching a drama in the living room.
She seemed indifferent.
Lu Juan placed He Hansheng on the sofa and said to Xu Xingran, “I’ve brought him back, he’s in your hands now. He’s had a bit much to drink, make him a sobering soup.”
Xu Xingran glanced at the man lying on the sofa, reeking of alcohol.
She pinched her nose in disgust.
She grabbed the blanket from the sofa and covered He Hansheng’s entire body and face.
Then she called out to the kitchen.
“Mrs. Chen, make He Hansheng a bowl of sobering soup.”
With that, she turned and went upstairs.
Lu Juan frowned, “You’re not going to make it?”
He had brought He Hansheng back drunk before, and Xu Xingran had personally taken care of him, wiping his face, making soup, and staying by his side.
Her face was full of concern and affection.
But now…
Xu Xingran didn’t even stop.
“I’m not his maid! Besides, he drank it himself, he deserves it!”
She originally wanted to say “he deserves to die from drinking!”
But that also had a curse-like line.
She was afraid of the backlash.
As long as He Hansheng didn’t bother her, she wouldn’t curse him cause it’s the same as harming herself.
Watching Xu Xingran walk upstairs without looking back, Lu Juan suddenly understood He Hansheng’s disappointment.
Even he, an outsider, could feel the huge gap.
Not to mention He Hansheng, who was in the thick of it.
He silently lit a candle for He Hansheng in his heart.
He hoped he would figure it out and break up with Xu Xingran peacefully.
Otherwise, the one who would suffer would be him.
Xu Xingran returned to her room. Although she and He Hansheng were a couple, they always slept in separate rooms.
Even on the first and fifteenth of each month when they had their “roll in the hay” sessions, He Hansheng would still return to his room after they were done.
She felt disappointed before.
Now she felt good.
She should have realized long ago that her relationship with He Hansheng was abnormal, something was wrong.
Thankfully, it wasn’t too late.
The door was knocked on.
There was also He Hansheng’s drunken voice.
“Xu Xingran, open the door. Xu Xingran, open the door.”
A flash of disgust crossed Xu Xingran’s face.
She went straight to the bathroom, filled a glass full of water, opened the door, and without hesitation, splashed it all over He Hansheng’s face.
Xu Xingran looked disgusted.
“He Hansheng, if you want to act crazy, go to your own room, don’t come here to act crazy!”
Large drops of water slid down He Hansheng’s handsome face.
It felt like a beautiful person being abused.
If it were Xu Xingran in the past, seeing this, she would have jumped up to take a picture to commemorate the moment.
But now, she had no emotions.
She was very disappointed in He Hansheng.
She thought He Hansheng believed her about the drugging incident.
But she didn’t expect that he always thought it was her who did it!
She fell in love with He Hansheng at sixteen.
She knew it was too early to talk about love at that age, so she restrained herself.
It wasn’t until she was eighteen that she worked up the courage to confess to him.
Including later on, when she was so persistent with He Hansheng, it was all based on the fact that He Hansheng was single, and she was single.
Actually, when she first found out that He Hansheng had special feelings for Xia Qingqing, she had second thoughts.
After all, she wouldn’t be a third party, even if she liked He Hansheng.
It was He Hansheng who told her with certainty that Xia Qingqing was his sister, and that they would never be a possibility.
That’s why she poured her heart out to He Hansheng.
She considered herself to be a moral person, with boundaries and principles.
She thought He Hansheng understood her, so he believed her.
Turns out!
Heh!
She was the one who was delusional.
In He Hansheng’s heart, she was so unworthy!
