Chapter 7

My wrap-up work was nearing its end, with only three days left until my overseas assignment.

During this period of being single, I focused on work and lived well.

Each day was fulfilling and liberating.

Unlike when I was with Lyanna, where I had to constantly mind her moods and feelings, walking on eggshells every day.

To ensure she could work properly, I even gave up many opportunities.

Over the years, I lost that once spirited version of myself.

In the end, I still couldn't warm her cold heart.

I felt sorry for myself, wasting the prime of my youth on someone undeserving.

Fortunately, I woke up in time and stopped wasting my life for love.

That day, I had just finished handing over my last project.

When my colleagues found out I was about to be sent abroad, they enthusiastically suggested we get together for a farewell dinner.

I agreed readily, feeling quite cheerful.

In the restaurant's private room, everyone chatted animatedly, having a great time.
