Chapter 710: Without Looking Back

Qi Liya was quite surprised. She did not expect him to suddenly propose to her.

She looked down at the ring and suddenly recalled her past self.

She had waited for so many years for this. But now, she decided not to wait anymore. When her heart for him had completely died, the ring finally showed itself. How ironic.

So what if he was proposing to her?

Right now, she only had Huang Guoqiang in her heart.

In order to make a complete break with the past, Qi Liya took the diamond ring from the box. It looked quite big and heavy. It must be very expensive!

Seeing that she had taken the ring out of the box, Peng Sicheng became excited. He thought that she agreed. “Liya, do you accept my proposal?”

“How could I?”

Qi Liya raised the ring, turning it about in her fingers. She chuckled, “The ring is very pretty, but in my eyes, it is just an ordinary stone. You owe me a debt in the past. Now, this ring should be regarded as compensation to me.”

After finishing her words, she faced the East Lake and swung her arm, flinging the ring far into the lake.

The ring was so small that it made no ripple when it fell into the water. Peng Sicheng widened his eyes after seeing her throwing his tens-of-million-dollar ring away. “Liya, why did you throw it away?”

“You’ve given it to me and I have the right to dispose of it. I only wanted to tell you that we are completely over by throwing it away. Our scores are settled now and we no longer owe anything to each other. From now on, we’ll go on with our own separate lives and we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore!”

After Qi Liya finished her words, she immediately turned and walked away without looking back. When she passed the trash can, she threw the flower bouquet into it.

“…” Peng Sicheng could not describe his feelings at the moment. Her rejection was a huge blow to him and he felt very defeated.

She had discarded his ring and flowers as well as his male ego. He had become completely worthless in her eyes.

He could already feel that her heart no longer yearned for him. This time, her heart had changed and there was not even room for persuasion.

Qi Liya returned and left East Lake together with Xu Xiyan.

On the way back, Xu Xiyan joked, “Sister Qi, I was nervous when I saw Director Peng proposing to you just now. I was afraid that you would accept him and then I would end up being murdered by Director Huang.”

Qi Liya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed. “Do you really think that I would accept him? What kind of person would I become? And for a person like him, who does he think he is? If Chu Yuhe were to come back and propose to you, would you accept him?”

“Of course not.”

They were both sensible women. How could they let scumbags like them break their hearts for the second time?

Xu Xiyan laughed, “I realized that you’re really ruthless. You directly threw Director Peng’s ring away. That was like a direct slap to his face.”

“Yup. I hoped that slap would wake him up and make him realize what a fool he is.”

Right now, Qi Liya had nothing more to ask for. She only wished to finish her shoot for “Those Beautiful Bygone Days” peacefully, and then have a smooth marriage with Huang Guoqiang and live a happy life.

No one could influence her otherwise or become her obstacle.

After a busy day, Xu Xiyan came home late in the night. She entered the house quietly and tried her best not to make any noise.

The lights in the house were all lit up; they must’ve been left on for her. Xu Xiyan felt warm and fuzzy inside at the sight of the warm and well-lit house.

No matter how late she would come home, there would be someone leaving the lights on for her. It was really great.

Xu Xiyan walked into the house. She did not see Huo Yunshen in the living room. There were dishes of food covered with a glass cover on the dining table. He seemed to have left dinner for her.

Xu Xiyan went into their bedroom but she didn’t see anyone there. Then she went into Ying Bao’s princess room and saw that the child was already asleep.

Where did Huo Yunshen go?
