Li Ze’s face turned bitter.

“Although I’m the President of the company now, many of the company’s shares are in my grandfather’s hand. My marriage must be approved by him.

“Only in this way can I take over the shares in his hands and obtain the approval of the board of directors.

“After 1 go through all of that, I will immediately end the arranged marriage and marry you. We can start over again.”

Pei Xin smiled bitterly.

“I’m sorry Li Ze, this is disrespectful to your future wife. I don’t want to be a mistress. Let’s end this between us. Thank you for taking care of me for the time I was here.

“I’ll return the money you transferred to Ling Lin. Tell me your bank details.” “Why are you being so weary of me? 1 won’t expect a favor from you at all.

“I gave you all of these voluntarily. You have no reason to return them to me.

“Just treat it as making up for what I owe you for the past five years, okay?”

Pei Xin looked at him. “Back then, when I was framed, it was between Pei Yu and Ling Xue. What has it got to do with you? You don’t have any responsibility, so you have nothing to make up for me.”

“No! I had the chance to save you, but I didn’t help you. I wanted you to suffer before I pulled you to my side.

“I admit that my thoughts were despicable, but when I saw you again, my heart… It ached…

“Pei Xin, I’ve lived with many years of regret. Seeing you like this makes me feel terrible. I want to do my best to make it up to you. Can you give me a chance? Please?”

Pei Xin shook her head. She looked at Li Ze gently. “Li Ze, you don’t owe me anything. There has never been true love between us. It’s time for us to move on and have a new beginning. I’ve been very happy working in your company these past few days. It’s been the most relaxing time I’ve had in the past five years. Thank you. Now… All this false happiness should end. You can’t protect me forever. I have to rely on myself.”

Li Ze started to panic. It was as if Pei Xin was going to leave him.

“Where are you going? You can’t go back to the capital now. Lu Li is still looking for you and Ling Xue won’t let you go.” Li Ze said worriedly.

“You’re not the only one who owns Haicheng,” Pei Xin said. “Don’t worry. I’ve already found a place for myself. If there’s a chance, we should meet again. Please… Don’t stop me from leaving.”

After saying this, Pei Xin picked up the luggage that she had already prepared.

“I’ve been waiting here for you because 1 wanted to explain everything to you. Now, I can say goodbye to you with dignity. Thank you, and goodbye.” she said before she left.

Li Ze’s heart ached as he watched Pei Xin leave.

He wanted to stop Pei Xin at all costs, but he knew that if he did so, Pei Xin would definitely hate him.

He didn’t want to ruin his impression of himself in Pei Xin’s heart.

Li Ze clutched his chest tightly. This was the first time he felt so powerless.

He was very powerful in Haicheng. All the bosses in the business circle respected him and clamored to have a chance to collaborate with him.

However, the only woman he loved the most in this life was Pei Xin. Yet, he couldn’t keep the woman he loved the most. He couldn’t even decide on his own marriage.

Li Ze suddenly felt ridiculed. Because he could not bear to let go of the power he had, he lost the person he loved.

If he had just told Pei Xin that he was willing to marry her and was willing to give up the company’s shares for her, he believed that she would stay.

However… He couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He was used to living a life of superiority, and was used to people fawning over him behind his back.

He couldn’t be an ordinary person who worked for others and listened to others.

Li Ze went to the bar and drank one glass after another. He wanted to forget his heartache.

At this moment, two beautiful women took the initiative to come to his side.

“Is that you, President Li? Why are you at the bar today? And it looks like you’re alone. President Li, do you want us to accompany you?”

As the beauty spoke, she leaned closer to Li Ze and tried to throw herself into his arms..
