Their eyes clashed like fierce sparks.

They gazed at each other greedily, yet feared that Lüping might suddenly open her eyes and be seen by her.

They quickly shifted their attention away.

Zi Ling glanced at Lü Ping and saw that she didn't intend to open her eyes.

She was in no mood to stay there any longer, so she quickly stumbled and ran out again.

Chu Lian, who was still kneeling there, slowly stood up.

His legs had long since gone numb from maintaining that posture.

He grasped the pink diamond ring and walked out.

Chu Lian went outside and, sure enough, saw Zi Ling sobbing softly at the corner.

His eyes were filled with pain.

He walked right up to Zi Ling and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed her into his embrace.

Zi Ling hugged him back tightly, and the two of them were like fish being washed ashore by the tide.

It is absorbing, it is searching for life.

Chu Lian gently released his hand and carefully examined Zi Ling.

He reached out his hand and carefully traced Zi Ling's eyebrows and eyes, his gaze filled with longing as he looked at her.

They gazed at each other as if an eternity had passed.

The two people were very close, so close that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Chu Lian had a bitter smile on her lips, and her eyes were filled with despair.

"I really don't know how I'll live without you... I can't even imagine what life will be like after that!"

Chu Lian looked at Zi Ling, and the despair in his eyes deeply touched Zi Ling.

Zi Ling looked at him, and her fingers trembled involuntarily. Tears streamed down her face.

"Ziling, I love you so much, I love you so much!"

After saying this, Chu Lian raised her other hand, which held a pink diamond.

"Originally, I wanted to talk to her and then give you this ring, which is also what I wanted to propose to you."

Chu Lian gazed at Zi Ling with deep affection, "But, Zi Ling, do you know how I feel about Lü Ping? It's like I secretly sneaked into Father's study and broke a very exquisite work of art. Because it's broken, I have to take responsibility. This is the only way!"

As Chu Lian spoke, his voice was filled with sorrow.

"You don't need to say anything, and you don't need to explain!"

Zi Ling shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

Chu Lian cupped Zi Ling's cheek in his hand, wanting to lean down and plant a kiss on her red lips.

But Zi Ling quickly dodged away.

Chu Lian was hurt by her action.

He took two steps back, looking at Zi Ling in disbelief. "Zi Ling, you're avoiding me, as if I'm a venomous snake, unworthy to even touch you anymore..."

"Chu Lian, you just proposed to my sister. Although she hasn't said yes yet, she loves you so much that she will definitely say yes. You'll be my brother-in-law from now on! So we should cut ties now and not have any contact with each other anymore. Or... do you want to kill two birds with one stone?"

When Zi Ling uttered her last words, her eyes lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Chu Lian.
