Chapter 852: Chapter 853: A Heartache Like Never Before
[It’s not about leaving this place, but leaving Jingcheng and never coming back!]
In the dance hall, Huo Yishan bowed her head, and although she was dancing with the man in front of her, her mind and heart were filled with Gu Qiangwei’s words, ’He is leaving, and he will never return.’
After tonight, even if she wanted to express her feelings, she wouldn’t have another chance.
Was he really never coming back again? Spend a lifetime with Ruan Qiuting in Country A?
In the center of the dance floor, Gu Qiangwei sighed again, and an inadvertent glance revealed Huo Yishan actually dancing with another man. She was startled, stopped dancing, and quickly turned her head to look towards Li Yuan not far away.
At that moment, there was no sign of Li Yuan there.
Noticing something was off with the person in front of her, the man, who had been bowing his head, couldn’t help but speak up, "Miss Huo, what’s wrong?"
Following the man’s words, Huo Yishan, who had been bowing her head, suddenly froze in her tracks.
"Miss Huo?" The man was slightly stunned, lowering his head to look at her but unable to see her expression.
[Are you sure you won’t regret it?]
[Li Yuan is about to leave; are you sure you won’t regret it?]
Deep inside, it seemed as if a voice was echoing on and on.
"Miss Huo, what on earth is wrong?"
Realizing her unease, the man tried to call out to her again.
The next second, Huo Yishan suddenly looked up towards the main entrance of the banquet hall, paused for about three seconds, then suddenly began to stride toward it, desperately rushing to the main entrance of the banquet hall!
At that moment, a waltz also came to a perfect end.
In the now quiet banquet hall, Gu Qiangwei’s voice suddenly rang out, "Yishan!"
Concerned for her friend, she wanted to chase after her but was stopped the next second by Qin Sijue, who held her back, "Don’t go."
She turned her head and glanced at Qin Sijue, only to see him staring calmly at the spot, as if he knew what Yishan was planning to do.
"Boom—"
In Jingcheng, where the skies had been clear all day, suddenly there were flashes of light and the rumble of thunder, and in a matter of moments, a torrential downpour began, bringing a hint of coolness to the sweltering weather.
Huo Yishan dashed out of the banquet hall and frantically pressed the elevator button. Although only seconds had passed, it felt like centuries to her, and the elevator seemed to take forever to arrive.
In her urgency, she turned to take the stairs instead, grateful that it was only three floors.
She rushed down the stairs and finally arrived at the hotel’s parking lot, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find Li Yuan’s car.
Her heart was stinging like never before.
Standing in the pouring rain, she suddenly felt frantic, helpless, and regretful...
Li Yuan...
In the torrential rain, unable to find Li Yuan’s car, she nearly collapsed several times.
Then, in a turn, a familiar black SUV came driving out from the corner of the parking lot, speeding towards the hotel exit.
"Li Yuan!"
With a cry of alarm, oblivious to the pouring rain, she directly chased after the black SUV!
"Li Yuan!"
The rain was too heavy, and her voice was completely drowned out by the sound of the rain. The off-shoulder evening dress she was wearing was instantly soaked by the rain, drenching her entire body.
"Li Yuan!" she shouted as she ran, desperate to catch up to the familiar black SUV, not paying any attention to the road beneath her feet, and with the rain so heavy, she couldn’t see clearly at all.
"Plop—"
The next instant, she fell in the rain due to her high heels, but she seemed to disregard the pain; instead, she raised her head and watched the familiar black sedan speed towards the hotel parking lot exit, getting farther and farther away from her...
