"Jingyan, I haven't seen you much lately! Are you still going to the library every day? We're still a long way from graduation, don't work so hard, remember to balance work and rest!"

Upon seeing his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Qin Ze's caring words came out in rapid succession.

Ji Jingyan stood quietly not far from Qin Ze, showing no excitement whatsoever that couples who hadn't seen each other for a long time should have felt.

He simply looked calmly at the gentle and composed Qin Ze in front of him. Seeing his stable emotions now, he never imagined that he would become so... crazy in the future.

Ji Jingyan has been back in the world for over a month now, and she has long forgotten about him.

After all, Jingyan hadn't seen him for almost twenty years, so she didn't remember him at all!

Jingyan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Qin Ze's overly familiar words.

However, she still reminded him, "Why are you so presumptuous? I'm an adult, and it's my freedom to do what I want. There's no need for you to say that." Jingyan stated the facts calmly.

But to Qin Ze, Ji Jingyan was clearly blaming him for neglecting her for the past month.

Thinking about what had happened to him over the past month, Qin Ze frowned helplessly.

Jingyan had no idea what Qin Ze was thinking. She then heard Qin Ze say, "Jingyan, don't be childish. I didn't mean to not contact you for the past month. There were just some things going on at home, so I didn't have time to think about you."

Jingyan rolled her eyes and silently pouted, "Do I look like someone who throws a tantrum? I just haven't seen you in a long time and I've forgotten about you."

Then Jingyan touched her chin thoughtfully, and nodded as if she had suddenly figured something out.

“A month has passed, and you, my boyfriend, haven’t shown up. Now I suddenly realize that it seems like it doesn’t matter whether you’re by my side or not. So what use are you as my boyfriend? Your existence doesn’t seem to serve any purpose for me.” Jingyan looked at the man in front of her with a cold expression, speaking to herself as if this man had nothing to do with her.

After saying that, Jingyan nodded very firmly, completely convinced of what she had said.

"Now that I know you're no good as a boyfriend, let's break up and go our separate ways. I need to focus on growing and developing so I can embrace a better future. I feel that your presence is hindering my growth, so let's break up." Jingyan's tone was unusually firm, without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

She was worried that the man would misunderstand that she was just being difficult, so she repeated the words "break up" twice to make sure that he clearly understood what she meant.

Qin Ze initially thought Ji Jingyan was just being petulant, since he had indeed neglected her for the past month.

However, when he heard Jingyan's resolute tone, he was startled.

He suddenly realized that the woman in front of him seemed to have made up her mind to leave him.

Qin Ze stared intently at Ji Jingyan, trying to find a hint of joking on her face, but all he saw was indifference and resoluteness.

Ji Jingyan was originally quite indifferent and calm, but Qin Ze's strange gaze made her a little uncomfortable. She repeated herself very firmly: "I mean it when I said we should break up. I'm not joking. I just feel that we're not suitable for each other."

Separating now will save us from future troubles.

Qin Ze can't live without the Qin family's resources now, so he definitely won't marry a girl from the countryside like her. In order to avoid some detours on their future breakup path, Jingyan thinks that breaking up now is the wisest choice.

In her past life, it was because Qin Ze was too indecisive and dragged his feet in matters of the heart that Jingyan was tricked by his so-called betrothed.

Qin Ze remained silent from the moment he heard Jingyan's words, only staring at Ji Jingyan as she continued to chatter on and on.

As if afraid that Qin Ze would not agree to her breakup proposal, she made the decision without thinking.

"I won't agree!" Qin Ze's voice was firm and decisive, as if there was no room for negotiation.

He stared intently at Ji Jingyan, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.

Ji Jingyan was startled by Qin Ze's cold voice. She originally thought that even if Qin Ze disagreed, he wouldn't refuse so readily.

However, Qin Ze at this moment felt both strange and familiar to her.

"Ah~ why? Don't tell me you love me so much you can't live without me, I don't believe it just by hearing it." Ji Jingyan's tone was teasing, but she was actually a little flustered inside.

Qin Ze took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew that Ji Jingyan might not yet understand his thoughts, but he had to make her understand.

"Jingyan, you're more than just a girlfriend to me; you've become a part of my life plan. I hope we can continue like this and create our future together. Therefore, I can't accept anything that doesn't go according to my plan."

As Ji Jingyan listened to Qin Ze's words, the panic in her heart was gradually replaced by a sense of helplessness.

She knew that Qin Ze was a person with plans and goals, and that he could include her in his life plan, which was undoubtedly a problem for Jingyan because Qin Ze was very stubborn.

However, despite this, Ji Jingyan's mindset remained unchanged.

After all, they had experienced many breakups and reconciliations in their previous life. Although she was the one who always initiated the breakup, Qin Ze never agreed.

“But our family circumstances don’t allow us to be together. If we continue, it will only make things worse for both of us. It’s better to cut our losses now…” Ji Jingyan’s voice lowered, as if she was recalling those unpleasant memories.

Qin Ze was the same in his past life, but in the end, nothing changed. At that time, Qin Ze solemnly promised Jingyan that they were truly in love, that he did not like the woman his family arranged for him, and that he would never give up their relationship for another woman.

As a result, both of them ended up injured, and things returned to the way they were before.

Ji Jingyan was completely caught in the crossfire. When his fiancée first came to his door, Jingyan firmly stated that he wanted to break up.

But Qin Ze was quite presumptuous, and he imagined all sorts of things.

He has a lot on his mind, and the female lead in his story, Ji Jingyan, can't escape until she finishes her part.

"We're doing great now. If you weren't just being petty, why would you bring up breaking up?"

"Jingyan, be good now. I finally managed to find some time to go on a date with you, so I can't waste my time on something so pointless. Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll treat you."

After Qin Ze finished speaking, he made his decision without listening to Jing Yan's explanation.
