"sorry."

After struggling with her thoughts for a while, Jiang Momo suddenly apologized to Li Jiuyuan.

Li Jiuyuan himself did not expect things to develop in this direction, and he even paused for a moment while driving.

Fortunately, he is a seasoned driver and these incidents do not affect his emotions, thus preventing him from driving dangerously.

He wasn't trying to force Jiang Momo to back down; whether Jiang Momo apologized or not didn't affect him much.

He was just a little jealous.

Of course, given his personality, getting him to admit this is no different than putting a knife to his throat.

If two people always have something on their minds and choose to express it with such hurtful words...

That will only lead them further apart, with more and more misunderstandings along the way.

Jiang Momo's eyes were filled with tears; she felt that she had accumulated too many grievances over the past few days.

She didn't know why her emotions suddenly surged up.

"Pei Si and I really have no relationship. We just met through business cooperation. I don't want you to keep speculating about me like that."

"I'll feel like you don't trust me at all."

"You think I need to remain loyal to you, right?"

"Is it because of a wife's duty, or because you don't want me to have too many entanglements with men? Do you genuinely feel this way, or do you believe that a man's dignity should not be trampled on?"

Jiang Momo needs to pause after each sentence to have the strength to say the next one.

She sat in the passenger seat, her head down, her hair obscuring half of her face.

Only the tip of her pert little nose could be faintly seen.

Before long, her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

The tears were huge, as if they had all fallen on Li Jiuyuan's heart. He wanted to wipe Jiang Momo's tears right away.

So he made a quick decision, parked the car in a place where he could park, and took out a tissue and handed it to Jiang Momo.

"You should have told me these things sooner."

If Li Jiuyuan had known earlier that Jiang Momo had so many thoughts in her heart, he would have made it clear to her from the beginning that he had feelings for her.

Therefore, he did not want her to be with other men; he wanted Jiang Momo to be with him at all times.

He hoped that Jiang Momo would be as devoted as he was, with her eyes only for him.

He always felt that if a person expresses love to another, it is a sign of vulnerability.

In a society that upholds the theory of commodity value, a person's value will decrease if they are too vulnerable.

Because he has a weakness.

Li Jiuyuan always believed that as long as he always maintained an invincible and omnipotent appearance, he could win Jiang Momo's favor.

He now realizes that this is not the case; if his heart remains as hard as stone, he will not have any soft spot where he needs to be cared for.

Then Jiang Momo had no way of getting into his heart.

Li Jiuyuan gently embraced Jiang Momo.

Jiang Momo cried harder and harder, not knowing what was wrong with her.

Why did she have to say all this today, as if she would have no chance if she didn't?

Actually, Pei Si told me another piece of news today.

Pei Si's company recently opened a sanatorium in a coastal city. The environment is very nice, and the facilities and benefits are excellent.

He considered sending his grandmother to that nursing home.

Jiang Momo keenly sensed something.

If that's the case, then could I also send my grandmother there?

Given her relationship with Pei Si, there's a good chance the two elderly people will ride in the same car when they're transferred to another hospital.

As long as he asks, Pei Si will definitely agree.

Then I won't be controlled by the Jiang family anymore, and I won't have to continue playing this charade with Li Jiuyuan.

She had had enough of it all along, even though she knew that Pei Si and she might have some genuine feelings mixed in with these fake acts.

But these genuine feelings were not enough to sustain her through the long years; it was time to say goodbye.

Don't think I don't care about you. You know, you've always been in my heart.

Li Jiuyuan wiped away Jiang Momo's tears while gently comforting her.

He had never said anything like that to comfort people.

He didn't know how to comfort a wounded person.

He could only awkwardly reveal his true feelings.

Hearing this, Jiang Momo cried even harder.

If she had known this would happen, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this. She had already made up her mind to leave.

But Li Jiuyuan extended a tentacle towards her and gently took her hand.

As she tried to persuade Jiang Momo to stay, how could she not be heartbroken? But it was all too late.

Even if Jiang Momo wanted to stay by Li Jiuyuan's side, if she couldn't get pregnant, the Jiang family would continue to make things difficult for her and her grandmother.

She dared not gamble with her own and her grandmother's lives. She could endure it herself, but what about her grandmother?

She inquired and learned that some accidents had been happening inexplicably at the hospital these days. Were these incidents accidents or were they deliberately targeting her grandmother?

Jiang Momo was unsure.

So he could only make the best plan that she thought was best.

"Stop talking, stop talking..."

Jiang Momo was already sobbing uncontrollably, and she managed to squeeze out these words with difficulty.

When she looked up at Li Jiuyuan again, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was streaked with tears, as if she had experienced something very sad.

Li Jiuyuan had no idea what had happened.

He felt that if it were just because he suspected the relationship between Jiang Momo and Pei Si, Jiang Momo wouldn't have suddenly collapsed like this.

"Has something happened? Tell me the truth, and I will help you."

How should I tell Li Jiuyuan?

How can I tell Li Jiuyuan that when he confessed his feelings to me, I had already planned to leave?

Jiang Momo didn't know that she had been sobbing for a couple more times and said that she was fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable.

Li Jiuyuan wasn't in a hurry to get an answer right away; he knew that Jiang Momo would tell him when she wanted to.

The two of them calmed down in the car for a long time before Li Jiuyuan continued driving home.

For the rest of the journey, Jiang Momo remained silent, gazing at the distant scenery.

She will be saying goodbye to this place in a few days, with this car, with Li Jiuyuan, and with this city.

In fact, Jiang Momo was also quite reluctant to give up her job.

She knew that it would be extremely irresponsible of her to resign from the company at this point.

After all, she had two big projects in hand, but this opportunity was so rare that Jiang Momo didn't want to miss it again.
