As soon as the words left my mouth, my mind went blank, and countless fragments of memories surged like a tide. In that moment, I felt as if I had returned to three years ago. Back then, I had just married Ning Jing, and his company was gradually getting on track. I had also found a stable job through my own efforts. I thought we would continue living like this forever.
But an accident shattered all my fantasies. Ning Jing was framed and died in a business rivalry. I can never forget that night when Ning Jing lay in my arms, covered in blood. With his last ounce of strength, he said to me, "Song Yao... the person I love most in this life... is you."
I held Ning Jing's gradually cooling body and cried heart-wrenchingly. It was only at that moment that I realized what I had missed. In my past life, I had always resented Ning Jing for his indifference, so I responded to him with the same coldness. I never cherished him until he died before my eyes.
I finally awakened to the truth: he had unknowingly entered my heart long ago. Holding Ning Jing's lifeless body, I trembled with sobs. If only I could have seen my own heart sooner; if only I could have treated him better; if only there hadn't been so many misunderstandings between us... Perhaps our ending would have been different.
Maybe my obsession was too deep, for when I woke up, I found myself back three years ago. Everything had not yet happened; Ning Jing was still alive, and we still had a chance to salvage this failed marriage. With that thought, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Lu Yu, I don't know what you're talking about."
I took a deep breath and continued, "Please step aside, I need to go home."
Lu Yu squinted slightly, his gaze piercing as he stared at me, his expression meaningful.
After a moment, he released my hand and took a step back.
"Alright, you can go."
I bit my lip, not daring to linger any longer, and quickly left.
I knew that Lu Yu would definitely come looking for me again.
But right now, I had more important things to do.
I needed to mend my relationship with Ning Jing and prevent the tragedy of my past life from happening again.
The next day, I woke up early and prepared a lavish breakfast.
When Ning Jing got up and saw the breakfast on the table, he paused for a moment.
"Today... what made you think of making breakfast?"
I smiled at him and replied in a casual tone, "What's wrong? Is it so unusual for me to make breakfast?"
Ning Jing silently glanced at me without saying a word and walked straight into the bathroom to wash up.
I felt a bit disappointed but quickly cheered myself up.
It was alright; Ning Jing had always been this indifferent. I shouldn't give up just because of that.
Taking a deep breath, I brought the breakfast to the dining table and waited for Ning Jing to come out.
After a while, Ning Jing finished washing up and sat down at the table.
He casually picked up a cup of coffee and drank it all in one go before standing up to grab his coat.
"I need to rush to the company; I'm leaving now."
With that, he turned and left without even looking at me.
I stared blankly at the breakfast on the table, feeling a mix of emotions.
Ning Jing didn't even take a single bite.
This was something I had made with my own hands.
I sighed, feeling a bit uneasy, but then I thought, what right do I have to ask Ning Jing to change? In my past life, our relationship was always poor; Ning Jing was extremely indifferent towards me and even reluctant to come home. At that time, I could only blame him and hate him, never considering how to warm him with my own actions. That's why we drifted further apart. Now, I don't want to repeat the same mistakes.
"Be careful on the road." I watched Ning Jing's back and forced a smile. It's okay; I can give Ning Jing a little more time.
