She looked at the time again. Unconsciously, more than 40 minutes had passed, and it was almost the time to make an appointment with Zhou Liye. "If there is nothing else, I have something else to do. I have to go first."

"Wait, is it because of this that you broke up with Mr. Zhou?" Li Zilin said anxiously.

Duan Manyu was silent for a moment. "I'm not with him after all."

"But Mr. Zhou, he really loves you!" said Li Zilin, "He really loves you. Yes, he came to me and wanted me to chase you. At that time, I thought it might be just a game for a rich childe like him, but during this time, I thought carefully. At that time, he warned me more than once not to let you know about it. I think it was because he was afraid."

Duan Manyu raised his eyes and looked at Li Zilin in some confusion.

"Because he is really in love with you, he is afraid. He is afraid that you will not accept it after you know it, and he is afraid of losing you." Li Zilin said, "Maybe at the beginning, he didn't think he would fall in love with you, so he would do that. Just I think, later, he also regretted it. Otherwise, when I told him I didn't catch up with you, he wouldn't rush things like that. Without asking anything again, he gave me a lot of money and arranged work for me." Li Zilin said. Although he was afraid of Zhou Liye, he could also feel Zhou Liye's seriousness towards Duan Manyu.

Once, he wanted to remind Duan Manyu to be careful of Zhou Liye. He thought they were just chess pieces in Zhou Liye's hands, but now, he hopes that Manyu and Zhou Liye can really be together. After all, no matter what at first, but later, Zhou Liye really fell in love with Manyu.

These are also what he slowly figured out in the later days.

Duan Manyu sipped his lips, but without saying anything, he left the coffee shop. Li Zilin sat in his seat and couldn't help smiling bitterly at the cup of cool coffee at hand.

It was Manyu who pulled him out of the mire of self blame and guilt, but he didn't know what he could do for Manyu.

Maybe today is the last time he and she met.

Obviously, when he was in college, he didn't pay any attention to her at all, but somehow, recently, he always remembered the excited smile on her face when he met her in the Internet cafe, as if her whole world was him.

The time at that time can't go back now... And he will also start his new life and marry Guan Li. Although he may be poor after marriage and may fall into the tedious of daily necessities, that's the life he wants. He wants to marry a wife who loves him, give birth to their children and live an ordinary life.

And Manyu, what will happen to her future?

But he has been unable to participate, and some can only be blessings.

Looking at the figure gradually disappearing in front of him, Li Zilin had an unspeakable melancholy in his heart.

When Duan Manyu went back, he received a call from Zhou Liye, "where are you?"

"It's on the next street. You can walk to your company in about 10 minutes," she said.

"You stay where you are, send me the location, and I'll pick you up," he said.
