Ji Wei laughed in anger, her eyes red as she stared at him, "Rest assured, I won't die. I'll live very well. Isn't it just a man? Without you, the sky won't fall, the earth will keep spinning. There are countless men in the world; I'm not foolish enough to hang myself on your one tree."
She spoke slowly and deliberately, pronouncing each word clearly.
But every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Gu Moqian.
"Good, very good. I suppose I was overthinking," Gu Moqian's lips curved into a faint, cold smile. He nodded lightly and released her shoulders.

After he moved away, Ji Wei felt as if all her strength had been drained in an instant, her hand tightly gripping the nearby railing to prevent herself from collapsing.
