Hello, Heir

Chapter 826: She Doesn’t Belong in the Same World as Them (1)

Outside the villa, heavy fog covered the atmosphere. A few stars that could not be seen clearly hung on the sky while the moon seemed to be concealed by a translucent layer. The sky was gray, creating a depressing atmosphere.

Inside the villa, the two of them stood facing each other.

Si Zhengting finally shed his usual nonchalant and cold gaze, which was as calm as ever. He looked up and stared at the woman in front of him in shock.

The room was brightly lit by the chandelier. As the light shone on her, it was obvious that her eyes were as swollen as peaches from crying. She bit her lip forcefully, and her body was trembling subtly as she tried her best to suppress her anguish and sadness. Seeing her like this, Si Zhengting felt a sense of unprecedented sadness.

A serious breakup...

She clearly knew that their separation right now was only temporary.

But she wanted to break up.

Five years ago, she misunderstood him and left him alone for five whole years.

Five years from then, she clearly did not misunderstand him, but she still wanted to leave him.

In that moment, an inexplicable sense of pain overwhelmed him entirely, causing his heart to almost feel numb.

There was bewilderment in his dark and hooded eyes right now. He really wished he could stretch out his arms, pull her into his embrace, hug her tightly, and tell her that they would stay together forever.

But... he couldn’t.

For a moment, Si Zhengting felt as if anguish and sadness had enveloped him like air. Every breath he took was physically tormenting.

Lowering his head, he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Let her go and break up with her seriously? How was that possible?!

He was doing all of these right now so that they could stay together forever. If they broke up, what’s the use of it all?!

Standing in front of him, Zhuang Nainai slowly composed herself as she suppressed all the agony deep in her heart.

She looked at him.

Right now, she finally understood everything.

Her mother had always told her that everyone is equal. But how could there be equality in this society?!

She was not capable nor scheming. She would only be a burden to him by following him around.

In this relationship, they had never been equal. She did not have control over their marriage. She also did not have control over their divorce.

Now that he was occupied with his plans, he wanted her to leave him for the time being.

However, who could guarantee what would happen in the future?

If something else were to happen to them in the future, was he going to abandon her so as to protect her again?

Unknowingly, a wave of helplessness overwhelmed her.

In her world, she was hardworking, tenacious, and proactive. Even in the field of design and her work, she had her unique talent. She strongly believed that she would become an outstanding designer in the future.

But even if that were so, so what?!

Even if she were to become an internationally renowned designer, so what?

No matter how hard she tried in this lifetime, she would never be on par with him.

His world was way out of reach for her — so out of reach that she didn’t know why he was doing this to her even though they used to be the most loving couple, so out of reach that she would never understand how his family operated even though they were the most loving couple.

Now, she finally realized the fact that she was just a normal girl who was leading a simple life with her dreams.

Hence, they were not a good match for each other because they did not have equal statuses. A marriage that was fueled only by love was too tiring. She had said all these things after serious consideration. She wasn’t saying them in a fit of pique.

However, her serious attitude became the weapon that hurt him the most.
