Chapter 6 Regret
This time, Li Younan did not choose to hang up the phone directly, after all, it was necessary to make a clean break.

The call connected, but neither of them spoke immediately, and they fell into a brief silence.

As if she were sulking, Yang Ting refused to say the first word, as if she believed that whoever spoke first would lose.

Li Younan spoke first. In his opinion, it was a trivial matter and there was really no need to argue about who was better.

"Hey?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Ting heard Li Younan's voice before asking, "Where are you now?"

Li Younan simply said, "Are you home now? If you are, I'll come back."

Yang Ting hummed in agreement, and Li Younan hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yang Ting placed her phone on the coffee table and slowly drifted into thought.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and made up her mind.

Li Younan really went too far this time. He hung up the phone and didn't come home all night. This has crossed the line. When he comes back this time, we must clearly tell him the seriousness of this matter and make him deeply reflect on how much his behavior has hurt their relationship.

Yang Ting started thinking about what she would say later.

Oh right, and there's also the matter of Li Younan saying they should break up.

Yang Ting certainly didn't believe that Li Younan was willing to break up with her.

To be frank, putting aside my local residency in Binhai City, my house, and my parents' income, just look at myself: highly educated, good-looking, and I've never cared about a man's material conditions. I'm a truly high-quality woman. Could he find someone better than me?
impossible.

She doesn't care about his dowry or his small-town background; this alone is enough to win over 99% of women.

Therefore, Yang Ting firmly believes that Li Younan acted impulsively and spoke without thinking, and that he should already regret it now.

However, breaking up is not something that can be easily forgiven, so when he comes back, you must make him reflect on his actions. Otherwise, you should really let him experience what it feels like to be separated from you. Only when he feels the pain will he learn to cherish you.

Yang Ting pondered this to herself for a while, then finally sighed softly and muttered to herself, "In short, let's see how he performs."

……

Li Younan didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to a supermarket near the neighborhood, bought a suitcase, and then leisurely returned to Yang Ting's house.

When the doorbell rang, Yang Ting checked the time. Two hours had passed since Li Younan called. To be honest, even if she was at the airport, she should have taken a taxi home long ago.

She snorted coldly, which was enough to make anyone angry.

Therefore, Yang Ting did not get up to open the door immediately. The doorbell rang twice more before Yang Ting slowly walked to the door with her arms crossed, opened it, and then turned and walked away without even looking at who was outside.

She only turned around in confusion when she heard the sound of the suitcase wheels scraping against the floor, then frowned: "Whose suitcase is this?"

Li Younan smiled and said, "Mine."

Yang Ting didn't consider what Li Younan intended to do with the suitcase; instead, she was focused on Li Younan's smile, which made her even angrier.

Why can you still laugh?

What Yang Ting didn't know was that after seeing Yang Ting's expression, the last glimmer of hope in Li Younan's heart completely vanished.

He felt no guilt about packing his things. Yang Ting sat down on the sofa without looking at Li Younan, waiting for him to apologize. Li Younan, however, paid no attention to Yang Ting. Seeing that she ignored him, he dragged his suitcase back to his room.

Yang Ting was picturing in her mind the scene of Li Younan apologizing, what he might say, and her own response. But after a while, Li Younan still hadn't come out.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Li Younan finally emerged, dragging his suitcase. Yang Ting paused for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Li Younan breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze towards Yang Ting filled with unfamiliarity, and said, "I've packed all my things."

Yang Ting paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and a terrible thought exploded in her mind: Did he really want to break up with her?

Was that just something said in anger?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she felt a strong sense of downward pressure, intensifying with each breath. She jumped to her feet: "What do you mean?"

Li Younan paused for a moment. In all the time he had lived with Yang Ting, he had never criticized her or condescendingly instructed her on how to live.

But this time, he said earnestly, "There are some things I really want to tell you. I've been unhappy with you for so long, I'm really unhappy."

“We grew up in two very different family environments, and we were exposed to different ways of interacting with our loved ones from a young age. We both regarded these ways as the proper way.”

"Unfortunately, I can't adapt to the way you treat your loved ones, and I don't want my life to be filled with accusations, belittling, and rebuttals."

"So this time, I'm serious about breaking up. But I wish you, and I wish myself, to find true happiness in the future."

Li Younan's words were extremely sincere, subtly touching Yang Ting's heart. But she instinctively said, "You mean I was wrong, that's why you broke up with me, right? It's all my fault?"

Hearing this, Li Younan knew he had nothing more to say. This girl would never make a mistake in her life. He smiled gently, then dragged his suitcase and left without looking back.

Yang Ting shouted from behind, "Fine, this is your choice. Once you leave this door, don't ever come back!"

The only response she received was the cold sound of a door closing.

After Li Younan left, Yang Ting felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She stared blankly at the door. The huge house was empty. She sat on the sofa, feeling lost and confused, not understanding how things had turned out this way.

Li Younan's words echoed in her mind, over and over again.

And the moments she spent with Li Younan began to play out before her eyes like a movie.

Li Younan, who would never utter a word of rebuttal no matter what he said...

Li Younan, who did something wrong but didn't scold herself, instead immediately comforted her and helped her find excuses to exonerate herself...

Li Younan, who couldn't stop praising herself whenever she achieved something...

Countless moments that she had never noticed before came together at this moment, piling up more and more, and the images flashing by faster and faster. Suddenly, it seemed to reach a critical point, and Yang Ting felt that the world had lost its sound, and she could only hear the pounding of her own heartbeat.

The next moment, emotions exploded silently like an atomic bomb in a vacuum.

Her tears could no longer be controlled and flowed silently.
