I have been in a relationship with Gu Xian for eight years.
Three days before the wedding, I discovered that his computer had tens of thousands of photos of the same girl.
I secretly booked a plane ticket to leave the country on our wedding day.
I quietly watched him act as if nothing had happened.
On the wedding day, the bride ran away, and he went crazy.


After an Eight-Year Romance, I Escaped the Marriage

When I spoke again, my tone softened, carrying a bit of an apologetic tone:


"I can explain the things on the computer, they've just been stored for so long that I forgot to delete them."


"About the wedding... You know I got dumped by her before. I just said that in front of friends to save some face, I didn't expect you to misunderstand."


"Believe me, from the moment I said I'd marry you, she was no longer in my heart. Taking care of her was just out of friendship, since she's back in the country, I wanted to put an end to things of the past..."


His words sounded to me like mere excuses trying to justify his behavior.


The curve of my lips deepened with a cold smile.


"Really? Gu Xian, are you trying to say that without resolving your past, you've been dating me for eight years? What am I? A broom to sweep away your past memories?"
