Chapter 298 - 288 Bright Moonlight, Heart’s Mole
He had many reasons he could give.
For example, there would be no engagement. There never was an engagement. Whether or not it involved Changqing that night, the engagement would never be announced. And then, she said he disappeared without a cause, that he lied to deceive her. But he didn’t intentionally stay away from her. This wasn’t the kind of thing that could be settled by just explaining the truth. Changqing, lurking in the shadows, was such a dangerous person. How could he dare approach her and put her in danger? For this reason, he specifically asked the newly appointed director of the photography department to send her away for a week. Yet even so, she still encountered a bomb. Fortunately, he noticed the unusual red light under the car; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable...
Although she usually liked to cause trouble, she was always reasonable and not a willful person. He thought she would trust him entirely. He thought that if he explained afterward, she would definitely understand. But now it seemed he was truly mistaken. Her comment, saying "no reason at any time," made all his reasons invalid. There wasn’t a single reason she could accept, so there was no need to explain.
He drove alone on a desolate winter morning and felt that emotional interference was indeed a strange thing. When things were good between him and her, they weren’t together 24/7. Many times, he drove alone, but his heart was full, as if the whole world resided within him. No matter where the car went, it felt like a warm river flowed through his heart. But now, his heart was empty, as empty as the desolate world around him, with bare branches falling, cold winds blowing, and heavy smog hanging in the air.
This feeling was indeed very strange, clearly hollow inside, yet heavy like a large stone pressing on his chest, very uncomfortable.
This feeling lasted the entire day and even affected his work.
In the afternoon, he had to conduct a personal interview. He actually lost focus while listening to what the other person was saying...
Fortunately, it wasn’t a live broadcast. Also fortunately, he had prepared very thoroughly before the interview.
"Su Ronggui, what’s going on with you today?" asked Deng Lin, the newly appointed director of the photography department, afterward.
He shook his head and expressed an apology.
"No need to apologize. It was fine; there were no mistakes. It’s just that your mood seemed off. Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?" Deng Lin asked.
