Chapter 21:
But Lu Yanchen refuses to let me go.
He rejected my resignation.
He sent me a message: [Zhou Mimi, weren't you the one who loved me the most? Why do you want to break up with me?] I didn't reply.
He sent a second message: [From any perspective, we are the most compatible people.
You chose me in the beginning because we are the same kind of people, right?] I stared at this message for a long time.
Lu Yanchen and I come from similar backgrounds, have the same profession, and even our interests and hobbies are almost identical.
We have many topics in common; we talk about finance, the market, and our dreams.
But I can't forget what Gu Qingling said to me that day.
After hastily ending the video call, she said to me, 'Do you know why Lu Yanchen doesn't love you but still won't break up with you? Or why he likes me but won't be with me?' I didn't reply for a long time.
Gu Qingling herself provided the answer.
[Because he said, I am someone who is destined for great achievements, I have a broader world and shouldn't stay by his side as a supporting role, but you're different.]
Zhou Miyi, it's not so much that the two of you are a perfect match, but rather that you were born for Lu Yanchen.
No matter how good you are, you still have to make concessions for him.
A woman with a narrow mindset, her scope is limited to the man in front of her.】 Interesting.
I silently took a screenshot and sent it to Lu Yanchen: [I used to think that being with you was a shared interest.
But now I feel that we are not on the same path.
Love is about soul connection and advancing together.
How could I give up my career for you? How could I make concessions to be your accompaniment?] Lu Yanchen was furious and sent a voice message directly: "Throughout history, women should be companions to men, right? What did I do wrong? Weren't you willing to help me in my company?" No, I wasn't willing to work in Lu Yanchen's company.
Women are not inherently meant to be companions to men.
There was even someone who once told me, "Love can indeed make concessions for the other person, but one cannot expect the other person's efforts to be taken for granted." That person also said, "If possible, it's okay for Zhou Miyi to be better than me.
We both need to become better versions of ourselves." That was Chen Xinghe, such a good person.
