So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingxi looked at Zheng Ze with some surprise.

She never thought that Zheng Ze would have such feelings for her.

She was silent for a moment, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She knew that Zheng Ze was a kind and excellent man, and he was genuinely good to her.

However, her heart had already been occupied by another person, Lei Tingyi.

Yu Lingxi took a deep breath and tried to make his tone calm and tactful.

"Brother Zheng Ze, thank you for liking me. You have always taken good care of me, and I am very grateful to you. But...but I already have a lover, and I cannot accept your proposal. I'm sorry..."

When Zheng Ze listened to Yu Lingxi's words, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss and pain in his heart.

He clenched his teeth, as if trying to hold back the gasp that was about to come out.

However, he didn't want to give up.

He looked at Yu Lingxi, his eyes revealing a determined light.

"Lingxi, I know you have someone you love now. But I believe that as long as I treat you sincerely, one day you will see my good side. I won't give up!"

Yu Lingxi looked at Zheng Ze's determined eyes, and an indescribable feeling of emotion and guilt surged in her heart.

She knew that Zheng Ze was a good man worthy of entrusting her life to, but she could not accept his feelings.

She shook her head slightly, her tone firm but gentle.

"Brother Zheng Ze, I'm sorry... I can't accept your feelings. But I hope you can find happiness that truly belongs to you. You deserve a better woman..."

After saying that, Yu Lingxi stood up and left the room, leaving Zheng Ze alone there, feeling sad.

She knew that her rejection might make Zheng Ze suffer for a while, but she believed that time would make everything fade away and Zheng Ze would find his own happiness.

Zheng Yan stood outside the door, watching his brother Zheng Ze walk out of Yu Lingxi's room with his head hung, and suddenly understood everything.

She knew that her brother must have been rejected by Yu Lingxi.

Although she felt a little helpless, Zheng Yan could do nothing about it.

She knew that love cannot be forced, and Yu Lingxi had the right to choose her own happiness.

She walked up to him, patted his shoulder gently and comforted him.

"Brother, don't be sad. You can't force relationships. Lingxi has her own choice. Don't be too sad. Believe that one day, you will meet the woman who truly belongs to you."

Hearing this, Zheng Ze looked up at his sister, tears glistening in his eyes.

He managed a forced smile.

"I know, Yanyan. I'm just a little sad and unwilling. But I will slowly let it go. After all, Lingxi's happiness is the most important."

Zheng Yan felt relieved when she heard her brother's words.

She knew that although her brother seemed a little disappointed on the surface, he was kind-hearted at heart and he sincerely hoped that Yu Lingxi could be happy.

The two of them walked back to their residence in silence.

Zheng Yan has always been by her brother's side, telling him jokes and making him happy, hoping to ease his depression.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the Zheng family mansion, Yu Lingxi had already packed his bags and was ready to leave.

She stood in front of Zheng Yan's door, her heart filled with reluctance and helplessness.

She knew that during her time at the Zheng family, she had received meticulous care and concern from Zheng Yan and Zheng Ze.

However, she also has her own mission and responsibilities and cannot stay here forever.

She knocked gently on Zheng Yan's door and waited for her response.

After a while, the door opened and Zheng Yan appeared at the door with a hint of surprise and reluctance on her face.

"Lingxi, why are you here so early? Are you leaving?"

Zheng Yan's voice trembled a little. She obviously didn't expect Yu Lingxi to leave so suddenly.

Yu Lingxi nodded, with helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, Yanyan. I have two good friends who are traveling with me. They have been waiting for me outside the city for several days. I can't let them wait any longer."

When Zheng Yan heard this, she felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

She held Yu Lingxi's hand tightly, as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.

"Lingxi, are you really leaving? Can't you stay a few more days?"

Yu Lingxi looked at Zheng Yan's reluctant eyes and felt sad.

She shook her head slightly, her tone firm but gentle.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry. I really can't stay any longer. But I will always remember how good you have been to me, and I will miss you all the time."

After saying that, Yu Lingxi turned around and left the room, leaving Zheng Yan alone there, feeling sad.

She knew that her departure might make Zheng Yan sad for a while, but she believed that time would slowly make everything fade away, and Zheng Yan would find her own happiness.

Zheng Yan stood at the door, watching Yu Lingxi's departing back, feeling an indescribable emptiness and loneliness in her heart.

But she knew that Yu Lingxi had her own way to go and she couldn't keep her under control forever.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Then she turned back to her room and began to sort out her thoughts and feelings.

After Yu Lingxi left, the atmosphere in the Zheng family became a little depressing.

Zheng Ze sat in the garden, staring blankly into the distance, his heart filled with melancholy and confusion.

He thought of Yu Lingxi's hurried departure and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Lingxi is leaving because of me? Did my confession yesterday make her feel embarrassed?"

Zheng Yan sat next to her brother, listening to his murmurs, feeling a little helpless.

She shook her head and spoke softly.

"No, brother. Lingxi is leaving not because of you. She is going to the Leixiao Sect and has her own things to do."

Zheng Ze frowned when he heard this, and his melancholy became even worse.

"Is it because of Lei Tingyi? Is that the only person in her heart?"

Zheng Yan looked at her brother's painful expression and felt a little amused.

She knew that her brother's feelings for Yu Lingxi were sincere, but Yu Lingxi's heart had long been occupied by another person.

She patted her brother's shoulder gently.

"Brother, you have to know that Lingxi has always had that person in her heart. This is not your fault. You can't force feelings. Don't be too sad. Believe that one day, you will meet the woman who truly belongs to you."

Zheng Ze listened to his sister's words. Although he felt a little unwilling, he also knew that this was the fact.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He knew that he could not continue to dwell on the pain of the past and had to face the future bravely.

Maybe, one day, he will meet the woman who truly belongs to him and she will bring him true happiness.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ze felt a little better.
