Chapter 722: Showdown
During the time Charlene was sick, Qin Zhen couldn’t reach her. He searched everywhere, feeling bewildered. How could he suddenly be dumped for no reason?
Every day, he went to Charlene’s house to find her, but it was always in vain.
His frequent appearances had started to disrupt her family’s life. After Charlene recovered, she arranged to meet him.
“My dear, what’s wrong with you? You seem like a different person all of a sudden,” Qin Zhen said with a hint of grievance.
Charlene gave a cold smile. Truly, how hadn’t she realized she was blind before? But it could be said that his acting skills were too good. Looking at him now, he could easily win an Oscar for Best Actor.
“Nothing, I just got tired of it. I don’t want to play anymore. The game is over, Mr. Qin,” Charlene said lightly. Having just recovered from a serious illness, her complexion looked pale and she seemed weak, but her words showed no sign of weakness.
Qin Zhen hadn’t expected Charlene to say such things. He frowned, looking disbelieving. He had always been the one to break up with women, but today, he was dumped by a woman. It was quite funny to think about.
“Why? You have to give me a reason. I can’t accept such an inexplicable breakup,” Qin Zhen wondered if Charlene had fallen for someone else. How could she change so quickly? Just a few days ago, they were so close and affectionate. Was she breaking up with him? No one would believe it.
“You don’t need a reason for a breakup. If you don’t like it, it’s that simple,” Charlene didn’t want to say more to him. Wasn’t it better to give everyone a good memory? There was no need to tear faces apart.
“I don’t accept that reason.” Qin Zhen felt it was too inexplicable. Something must have happened.
“Hehe, do you really want to know? Mr. Qin,” Charlene glanced outside. The sun was shining brightly, but her heart felt as cold as ice.
“Why?” Qin Zhen pressed on.
“You said something at the club with your friends that day, and I heard it all. It must be fate. I wasn’t on a business trip that day. When I came back to find you, I heard it. Mr. Qin, you won the bet, you should be happy. Congratulations. But I don’t like to play games. Forgive me for not accompanying you,” Charlene said calmly, as if she were talking about someone else’s business, not her own.
“Charlene, I can explain. Things are not like that,” Qin Zhen panicked. So that was it. No wonder her attitude changed suddenly.
“There’s no need to explain. Seeing is believing. I also saw you being ambiguous with other women. Let’s end this game here. Don’t entangle anymore. I hope we can part on good terms and treat each other as strangers in the future,” Charlene suddenly felt that breaking up wasn’t a big deal. She could face it calmly now.
“Charlene, just give me another chance,” Qin Zhen suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Let go. With your conditions, you can find someone else easily. Don’t bother me anymore. I’ll say it again, the game is over,” Charlene said, then pulled her hand away from Qin Zhen’s grasp and walked away.
“Charlene…” When Qin Zhen chased after her, he only saw Charlene’s back. He sighed dejectedly.
He couldn’t figure out his own thoughts anymore.
