Chapter 2806: Unable to Make Her Stay

Even though I already knew, she agreed to marry Li Qian.

But hearing her say it out loud, Xiao Lang’s heart still felt heavy.

An unbearable suffocation...

He slightly clenched his fists, suppressing the turmoil within.

"I’ve never held your hand, how do you expect me to let go?" he said hoarsely.

Li Mingxi was stunned.

Xiao Lang let out a self-mocking laugh: "When you loved me, I didn’t love you enough. By the time I truly wanted to hold onto you and never let go, you had already let go. So, I never really had you."

His words were so heart-wrenching to hear.

"When I said let go, I meant for you to let go of me," Li Mingxi explained.

Xiao Lang let out a cold laugh: "Let go from where? My heart? The heart isn’t even mine, how can I let it go?"

Li Mingxi raised her hand lightly to her chest, his words almost caused her heart to stop.

"Xiao Lang, why put yourself through this..."

Indeed, why torture himself?

In a lonely voice, Xiao Lang spoke: "I’m not in control, so even if you resent me, there’s nothing I can do."

Li Mingxi’s eyes reddened, "Back then you loved Jian Yufei so much, yet in the end, didn’t you let her go as well? Compared to Jian Yufei, I don’t even match up, so you should be able to let go of me more easily."

Xiao Lang’s hand on the quilt trembled slightly.

"Do you think that in my heart, you don’t measure up to Jian Yufei?"

Li Mingxi dared not face him.

"Isn’t it true? You loved her for so many years, that kind of feeling isn’t so easily let go of."

Xiao Lang suddenly laughed, his laughter sent chills through Li Mingxi.

After a while, he said faintly: "Go, I don’t want to hurt you or make things difficult for you. You don’t need to care about me, whether I live or die, you owe me nothing. Just go."

"Have you decided to take your medicine and cooperate with treatment?" Li Mingxi couldn’t help but ask.

The answer, as expected, was no.

"No."

"Do you really enjoy giving up on yourself like this?!"

"You don’t understand..." Xiao Lang slightly lowered his head, his fringe covering his eyes.

"I just don’t want to see you marry someone else, don’t want to see you ever again, maybe then I’ll feel a bit better. What do I need my eyes for, keeping them will only make me see things that sadden me."

Li Mingxi never expected she would hurt Xiao Lang so deeply.

He was the man she loved most, how could she bear to hurt him.

How could she bear to see him in such pain...

"Xiao Lang, whether you believe it or not, I wish you well," Li Mingxi took a deep breath, controlling her trembling voice.

"Your body is your own, don’t harm yourself for anyone. And certainly not for me, it’s not worth it... I’m leaving, take care, and get well soon."

Li Mingxi gave him a deep look, then turned and walked away briskly.

Xiao Lang’s hands clenched tightly onto the quilt.

After saying so much, can he still not keep her?

Can she not even stay to treat his eyes?

Is he really so insignificant to her?

"Ah—" Xiao Lang suddenly swung and knocked over the things on the bedside table.

The cup, the clock, the books, everything crashed to the ground, making a clattering noise.

Li Mingxi, who was walking down the steps, couldn’t help but turn back.

Suppressing the urge to rush back, she forced herself to keep walking.

"Miss Li, are you leaving?" Di Sheng asked, frowning.

Li Mingxi said calmly: "I have things to do, I must leave. I tried to persuade Xiao Lang, but it was no use. I think once he calms down, he’ll come to understand it himself."
