Peng Rui's face was flushed red, staring at Shi Yang, and she blurted out, "Who says you can't get back together after breaking up? I'm divorced now, I'm single, Chaozi isn't married, why can't we be together?"
Peng Rui, embarrassed and angry, spoke without thinking.
Shi Yang looked at her coldly, "Why, don't you know?"
Peng Rui's eyes were frighteningly red, as if countless hands were tearing at her heart, pulling her in different directions.
The meaning in Shi Yang's words couldn't be clearer: because she had once abandoned Qu Chaozong for wealth, because she had married and then divorced, because her intentions weren't pure and her feelings insincere, she was no longer worthy of Qu Chaozong.
Peng Rui bit her lower lip hard with her upper teeth, until a faint metallic taste filled her mouth, then she suddenly let go. She looked at Shi Yang, "I have an appointment with a friend, the place is quite close, just a few steps away, you go on ahead, thank you for today."
