Don't meet me in your next life.

"Ji Shengting, please don't be so cruel. No matter what, I beg you... please don't send me back to him, okay?"

"Why won't you come back to me?" he asked her, looking down at her.

"I already have a fiancé."

"Ah."

He sneered coldly.

He didn't believe it.

He knew she was lying.

He knew all about her little tricks.

Xiang Yi looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, "I'm not lying to you, it's true, he's my boyfriend, we've known each other for three or four years..."

"So, even if I get engaged to Lin Xue, it won't stop you from dating him? You really are fickle, enjoying this old cow eating young grass style."

Xiang Yi was stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'an old cow eating young grass'?"

“Isn’t it?” He raised an eyebrow.

"I...I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

She became increasingly flustered as she spoke, her eyes darting around, unable to meet his gaze.

Ji Shengting narrowed his eyes.

"You mean, you've fallen for Ji Chuchu's brother?"

He questioned in a cold voice, his tone carrying a hint of sinister danger.

Xiang Yi shook her head: "No, but I think we should break up, Ji Shengting. We're not compatible."

"Are we not a good match?"

Ji Shengteng scoffed, his eyes turning cold. "Xiang Yiyi, in this world, there's nothing I can't get, only things I don't want. So, don't try to test my patience. Come home with me obediently, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiang Yi was terrified.

She knew Ji Shengting was not someone to be trifled with; he was capable of anything!

But what else could she do if she didn't break up with him?

Ji Chuchu was her only family member, and she couldn't just stand by and watch her be ruined by Ji Shengting!

"sorry......"

She lowered her head and murmured.

"sorry?"

A chill ran through his eyes. "Xiang Yiyi, you are mine. I will never allow you to betray me!"

He suddenly gripped her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

His lips brushed close to her ear, and he said in a low, husky voice, "I'll give you two choices. One is for us to get back together, and the other is for us to break up completely. Xiang Yi, the choice is yours."

"You...you can't force me like this."

Xiang Yi bit her lip, her voice choked with emotion.

I won't force you.

Ji Shengting released her, crossed his arms, and looked down at her condescendingly. "You can take your time to think it over, but don't expect me to wait for you."

After saying that, he strode forward, looking resolute.

"Stop right there!"

Xiang Yi quickly caught up with him and grabbed his arm.

Ji Shengting stopped in his tracks.

Xiang Yi looked at him pleadingly, her eyes filled with apology, "Ji Shengting, I beg you, please give me some time to think about it, okay?"

He turned his head, his cold gaze fixed on her like an ice dagger.

"Fine, I'll give you six months. If you don't agree, I'll immediately have Lin Yu come and explain for you."

"good......"

Xiang Yi's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She sniffed, forcing a smile, "Then you should go back first, I still have some things to take care of."

"Then do as you please."

Ji Shengting left after saying those words.

Xiang Yi stood there, watching Ji Shengting's receding figure.

Her lips were pressed tightly together into a straight line.

Why, why does he have to force her like this?

They're clearly beyond each other's reach! Why won't he let her go?

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and not let her emotions get out of control.

"Miss."

At that moment, a waiter came over from the other side and politely asked her.

Xiang Yi turned her head and saw that it was the waiter who had brought her to the hotel earlier.

Xiang Yi smiled slightly at him and said, "Hello."

"Hello, my name is Ms. Yang. Thank you for your help earlier. I don't know what I would have done without you," Ms. Yang said gratefully.

He waved his hand at her, saying, "It was nothing, nothing at all."

"Miss, what service do you need?"

Xiang Yi looked around and realized that the entire hotel was empty.

She shook her head. "No need, I'm fine."

Seeing that she was traveling alone, Ms. Yang kindly suggested, "Are you here traveling alone, miss? You're dressed nicely. Why don't you leave me your contact information? I'd like to accompany you around sometime."

"No."

Xiang Yi politely declined.

Miss Yang was somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to take her leave.

Xiang Yi sat alone on the windowsill.

She looked up at the azure sky.

She didn't know why she chose to attend the party tonight.

Perhaps it was because this night was the last time she would see Ji Shengting, or perhaps it was because she was truly too lonely and longed for someone to be with her.

She took a bottle of red wine out of her bag and drank it quietly by herself.

This feeling is truly unbearable.

It dripped down my throat, drop by drop.

Xiang Yi felt a burning sensation in her throat. She casually tossed aside the cup in her hand, got up, and walked towards the door.

She couldn't stay in this suffocating place any longer.

She stepped into the elevator and pressed the close button.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Her vision gradually blurred until it disappeared.

Ji Shengting's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

He was handsome and tall, unruly, with a wicked and playful look in his eyes, as if everything in the world was under his control.

She had no idea what she had done to offend this powerful figure, that he was being so relentless.

Xiang Yi reached out and patted her forehead, trying to clear her head.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

She sighed helplessly.

Forget it, she'd better go talk to Shen Youchen instead.

He's a doctor; perhaps he can help her find a solution.

Xiang Yi dialed Shen Youchen's number.

"Hey, Yi Yi, where are you? I haven't seen you around."

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Xiang Yi felt a sudden lump in her throat.

She forced a faint smile. "I just ran into Ji Shengting. He... he won't let go..."

Shen Youchen on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I know a little about Ji Shengting. He's eccentric and domineering. You need to find a way to talk to him clearly. No matter what, you can't confront him head-on."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yi packed her things and prepared to leave.

However, upon stepping out of the room, I saw someone I didn't want to see.

"Young Master Ji, what a coincidence!"

After saying this with a forced smile, Xiang Yi immediately turned and walked out.

However, Ji Shengting grabbed his wrist.

"where are you going?"

Ji Shengting frowned as he looked at her.

Xiang Yi forcefully pulled her hand back, "It's none of your business."

"I will not allow any man to bully you."

"Ha, what do I have that's worth protecting?"

Xiang Yi gave a light sneer.

She is no longer the same person who relied on Ji Shengting for everything.
