Shen Du met her gaze, and I realized that we had come to an end.
He had met Ren Ran at a summit forum in the United States. They were of similar ages, both compatriots in a foreign land, and after some time spent together, it was only natural that they became a couple.
Ren Ran was an extremely insecure person; she needed Shen Du's constant companionship. At that time, Xincheng Law Firm was still in its early stages. During his off hours, Shen Du would respond to her messages instantly, canceling any unnecessary social engagements and family time to be with her as much as possible.
The reason for their breakup was relatively objective. Ren Ran received an acceptance letter from the New York Fashion Institute and expressed her desire not to be in a long-distance relationship, wanting Shen Du to accompany her to the United States. By then, Xincheng had already gotten on the right track, and Shen Du had no plans to go abroad. Inevitably, they began to diverge in their paths. To reassure her about her studies, Shen Du formally introduced her to his parents and promised her marriage.
Even so, Ren Ran still attributed his unwillingness to compromise to a lack of love for her.
"I never interfere with your career plans, and I promise that when you return, we will have our wedding. This is all I can do for now."
"Do you know how much can change in a year? If you really love me, why would you be willing to leave me for so long?"
No one understood better than Ren Ran how charming Shen Du was; she was uncertain whether her place would be replaced after she left.
Shen Du sighed. "In the end, you still don't trust me enough."
At that moment, he realized that Ren Ran constantly monitored his love for her, tightly binding him with constraints. She knew how much effort he put into the law firm but still insisted on changing his career and life trajectory in the name of love. This left Shen Du feeling powerless.
"I received it yesterday; I remember I never submitted my resume to the New York Bar Association."
"I admit that I submitted it. With your strong abilities, why wouldn't you want to develop on a higher platform? It would be a better choice for both of us."
Ren Ran had no awareness that her possessiveness over Shen Du was like sand slipping through her fingers—the tighter she grasped it, the faster it flowed away.
Shen Du didn't want to argue anymore; he finally said one thing: "Ren Ran, perhaps we are just not suited for each other."
After the dinner gathering ended, Ren Ran smiled as she bid farewell to Shen Fu and Shen Qi, thanking them for their hospitality. Once she settled into the car, she gradually let go of her smile.
The moment she saw Shen Du again, she confirmed that she had never truly forgotten him. The woman pulled out her phone from her bag and typed in the string of numbers she had not forgotten on the add friend interface.
After dropping off the elderly lady at home, Shen Fu followed Shen Du back to Shanghai. On the way, Shen Qi kept praising Ren Ran and subtly asked Shen Du what he thought about her.
Shen Du held the steering wheel, his tone indifferent. "I don't have any thoughts on it; we've already broken up."
"So what? Breaking up doesn't mean you can't get back together. Didn't you two split because Xiao Ran went abroad? Now she's back, and I secretly asked her—she said she's single."
"Can you stop matchmaking?" Shen Qi frowned.
"It's not like I'm asking you to get married right away. Besides, you haven't even dated anyone. What's wrong with getting to know her better?"
Shen Du glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak, but ultimately kept his thoughts to himself.
After all, it's impossible for me and her now.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Shen Qi understood his temperament well and chose not to press further. She leaned back into the seat and let out a deep sigh.
