The air in the bedroom seemed to have frozen at this moment.

Su Yanyun’s feeling was right. Rong Linyi’s arms and chest froze when he heard her say that.

She looked up and saw that he was staring at her intently with a cold glint in his eyes.

This scene made Su Yanyun’s heart race.

Could it be…

It was really as Jiang Chengxi had said. Rong Linyi’s heart was actually with…

“She’s my ex-girlfriend.”

Just as Su Yanyun was about to imagine up a whole universe, Rong Linyi spoke unexpectedly.

“What?”

He admitted it so quickly?

It was a little unexpected to Su Yanyun.

Her eyes met Rong Linyi’s. His gaze seemed to soften and the coldness in it lessened.

“What else do you want to ask?” He asked in a flat voice.

But it was his calmness that made Su Yanyun feel even more uneasy.

She bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind. She asked in one breath, “Will you answer whatever I ask?”

Her overbearing tone stunned Rong Linyi.

Then, he nodded. “Yes, I’ll answer any questions. Ask to your heart’s content at once.”

“Okay.” Su Yanyun took a deep breath.

“When did you two break up?”

“Three years ago.” Rong Linyi’s answer was indeed straightforward.

“Why did you break up?”

“Objection from family members.”

“Why did they object?”

“…It’s a long story.”

Su Yanyun didn’t say anything and immediately puffed up her chest.

It didn’t matter what the answer was. It was clearly a long story, but he summarized it in short terms. It was infuriating!

Seeing Su Yanyun’s obviously unhappy expression, Rong Linyi actually sighed slightly. “If you want to know the details, you can ask Rong Xuelong. After all, she’s one of the victims. I don’t want to stir up trouble behind her back.”

“How long were you two together?” Su Yanyun asked.

Her question made Rong Linyi think for a while.

He shook his head slightly. “I didn’t specifically declare that we were together. We were considered childhood sweethearts. Other than her, I basically don’t interact with other women. I’m in a situation where everyone agrees that we’re together.”

Rong Linyi’s words were not fake nor exaggerated.

Before Su Yanyun appeared, Jiang Yilin was the only girl who could stay beside him for a long time.

Over time, the people around them saw them as a couple. He never explained himself nor retorted.

Jiang Yilin had asked him before if he would always be by her side, and his answer was yes.

He had promised her before that he would definitely abide by it.

If it weren’t for what happened three years ago, making him determined to cut ties with her, perhaps… he really would have fulfilled his promise.

“You two… how far did you two progress?” Su Yanyun bit her lower lip until it was white.

Since she wanted to ask, she would ask directly.

“What step?” Rong Linyi’s expression didn’t seem to be perfunctory. He was really stunned for a moment.

Su Yanyun didn’t say anything.

He came to his senses.

“None.” He then replied casually. “We only held hands once, not more than three seconds. Does that count?”

“Really?” Su Yanyun released her lips. Her eyes lit up, but she clearly didn’t believe it.

Rong Linyi nodded with a calm expression. “She has also complained to me many times, but every time she approached me, I would avoid her on reflex. Later on, she cried for a long time to me and wanted to be even closer to me, so I agreed to hold her hand. But…”
