She sighed and took something out of her handbag. It was a black credit card. "I don't need this anymore."

He looked at the card, refusing to take it back. "You can use it for your college."

"You've done so much for me."

"I heard from Xue Lihua that… you're married." Her eyes landed on his gloved hands as if she was trying to find the ring around his finger but then, with his gloves, he must be hiding it under. Although, she still hoped that it was just a joke. "And that you're ending all contracts with others."

"Since you already know. Then it won't be hard for me. Wei Sianqi, I-"

"I love you, Mr. Yong," she confessed. Her eyes were filled with tears but she fought hard not to make them fall. "Can't I be the woman you love instead?"

It has been two years but never did he find himself attracted to her and he knew that Yong Liwei was the same. She was just an obedient dog that followed her master anywhere he brought her and obeyed his orders.

The only reason why Yong Liwei never touched her was that she was a minor at that time he made her sign the contract. He sponsored her studies. She was only a high school student who got attracted to an older man. The reason she was their favorite among all the girls he contracted was all because she was like a sister to them. Yong Liwei saw her that way, nothing else.

"If you have nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave." He turned away and began walking back towards his car.

"Mr. Yong!" She shouted as if trying to stop him. "If I can't have you in this life… then I'd rather die!" 

Han Yizhou stopped in front of the car and turned to look back at her. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her climb the railing. His heart trembled in fear. "Wei Sianqi!" He warned her as he slowly approached her. "Don't jump!"

Tears flowed down her cheeks as she looked at him with a pained smile. She was now standing at the railing, facing him. 

"We can talk things out, Wei Sianqi. Come down." He took another step forward. Unlike back then, where she didn't see him approaching her, this time, he needed to be careful.

She shook her head. "I don't want to force you to love me, Mr. Yong… I can never make you happy that way…" She hung her head down as she began sobbing, her shoulders trembling. "I don't think I can ever tolerate seeing you with someone else… All the happiness you never felt with me... I'd rather die. At least I can only make you remember me forever in this way."

He knew that he could never give her what she wanted. He could not make an empty promise to her and she knew that.

'Stop her,' Yong Liwei's voice rang in his head.

He was already trying to do that! 

She lifted her head a bit to look at him as she forced out a smile. "Mr. Yong, remember me, okay?"

"Wei Sianqi!" With full speed, Han Yizhou rushed to her as he saw her jump. He tried to reach out to her hand but he failed to do so with only an inch apart.

He needed to save her. She was like a family to him. He only acted cold since he already knew her feelings for him and it was his way of rejecting her.

It was as if by instinct, his body moved on its own. He jumped and soon was able to reach her.

Wei Sianqi's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-what are you doing?!!"

He pulled her into his arms as a small smile crept in the side of his lips. "Saving you." 

He protected her with his body as he braced for the impact of hitting the water. For some reason, those few seconds felt long. He could feel his heart pounding and thumping loudly against his chest.

A flash of Lu Mengjie's smiling face appeared before his eyes that somehow made him a knife in his gut, slowly twisting. It was then that it hit him. What was he doing? He cowered in the face of death that made him lose his hold on the girl that he was hugging. He shouldn't have jumped followed this stupid woman. He should have let her do what she wanted. He regretted his last-minute decision. His hands trembled. Adrenaline surged over and over that cut his wings until they bleed. This adrenaline from fear was his invisible shackles, it was the poison in his veins and it was the whip in his hands.

No! He didn't want to die!

…

(Present)

Hello? Ms. Lu?" 

The voice she heard didn't belong to Han Yizhou at all but at the same time, she found a bit of familiarity. It was none other than his assistant, Niu Jiachen.

"Can I talk to Yizhou?" She asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

The man on the other line was quiet for a few seconds. He was hesitant to continue. "I apologize but that's not possible right now."

"Eh?"

"You see, Mr. Yong got into… an accident and he has been unconscious for days."

The only words that sunk in Lu Mengjie's mind were 'accident' and 'unconscious'.

She felt a lump in her throat that made her have a hard time speaking out. Did she hear him right? Her ears were not playing with her, right?

She swallowed hard. "W-what happened?" She tried her best to compose herself but she still ended up stuttering.

Niu Jiachen was reluctant to continue, knowing that it would only worry her more but he already started. It was only right to tell her what happened. She deserved to know since she was his boss' wife.
