Divine Lord Linyuan's gaze swept over Ye Jinghan before falling back on Su Qiao.
"I really regret not telling you how I felt sooner, and I also regret focusing only on cultivation and never taking you out to have fun. If I had, you wouldn't have met other men, and you certainly wouldn't have been stolen away by someone else."
Su Qiao didn't want to know anything about him.
Her expression was utterly resolute. "I'm grateful for all the care you've given me over the years, but I can tell you very clearly that even without him, you and I would still be impossible."
In truth, precisely because he had once treated her so well, even though she had come to resent him after everything that happened later, compared to Yuyao, he really had done nothing to wrong her. That was why Su Qiao had always treated him politely, even if he was indeed a little annoying.
Divine Lord Linyuan's eyes dimmed. "Junior Sister, after all the years we've spent together, do you really feel nothing for me at all? Not even for a single moment..."
In fact, now that things had reached this point, Linyuan already knew he had no chance, but he still couldn't accept it.
It was like carefully tending a flower until it grew, only to have someone else pluck it away halfway through. How could he possibly let go so easily?
Su Qiao had never dragged things out. It wasn't good for either of them, so she didn't hesitate at all. She shook her head crisply. "No."
"To put it plainly, if I had feelings for you, would I have waited until now? Would there have been any place for another man?"
Divine Lord Linyuan truly couldn't understand.
He didn't know what he was lacking.
