“In my heart, there is you, Xue Ning, and another girl named Li Lin. You are all important to me!”

Bai Chen revealed his true feelings determinedly. Long Xu In’s eyes could not help but widen in surprise. She took another step back.

Her beautiful finger was pointed at Bai Chen. It shook uncontrollably.

“W..What do you mean?”

Long Xu In’s breathing grew faster. It was as fast as her heart was pounding right now.

Her face showed utter surprise. She could not believe that Bai Chen would dare to say that to her face.

He’d just admitted that he was a rake. He loved three women, and one of them was her!historical

If he only liked her, she would be so happy, she would have been floating on air right now. It was not like that. She had been born in modern times, so it was impossible for her to accept that the man she loved had many women by his side.

Bai Chen’s expression was calm. He sighed. He already knew that Long Xu In would not be able to cope with this. Not only her, but Li Lin and Xu Xue Ning also would not be able to.

However, what could he do about it? There were as many as three women in his heart. Be it now or far into the future, his heart would not change. It was impossible for him to choose only one!

However, he owed them so much. They’d all died protecting him. How could he be a bad person and choose only one of them?

To be honest, this issue was actually quite a headache for Bai Chen. His future self had not had to go through this, so he did not know how to handle it.

“I mean exactly what I said.” Bai Chen sighed again.

He did not know how to explain because he had never experienced this before. In his earlier life, even though he had been in his 30s, he’d still lacked experience in love.

That was only normal because before he was 18, he’d focused only on studying in pursuit of his parents’ well-being. He had been arrested at the age of 18 and spent time 12 years in jail.

How could he have any experience in love then?

“Y..You!” Long Xu In’s heart shook. She looked at Bai Chen with disappointment.

However, her heart still loved him very deeply. He was the first man she had ever fallen for. He was the first who could shake her heart like this.

Even though she was disappointed, her heart was stubborn. It did not want to let him go. Her pale face showed hesitation before ultimately turning serious.

“Bai Chen, I love you, too. I mean, I’ve fallen in love with you!” she said with sincerity. It was pure and beautiful. “Is it possible for you to let Xue Ning and Li Lin go?”

“If you do that, we..we can love each other and spend our lives together!”

Hearing what Long Xu In said, Bai Chen trembled. He could sense how determined she was and how much love she had for him.

Even though he said that he had others in his heart too, she still refused to leave him!

Other girls would have slapped him in the face and walked away.

“I can’t..” Bai Chen shook his head. This was his answer.

“So that’s how it is.” Long Xu In’s face was the palest it could get.

She was in so much pain that she wanted to cry. Actually, her eyes had started to redden and water.

However, she refused to show weakness. She turned away from him and walked away. Every step she took was shaky.

“Farewell..” The breeze blew past Bai Chen’s face. He spoke softly.

Bai Chen looked at Long Xu In’s back. He reached out his hand, trying to stop her. He put it down immediately once he realised that.. he had nothing to stop her with!

‘Who am I to stop her? I have nothing..nothing at all,’ Bai Chen thought quietly and sighed heavily when he realised he had nothing to stop her with.

Suddenly, his heart ached. He raised his head upwards and looked at the starless sky. He sighed again.

‘Maybe this is for the best. Xu In won’t have to die for me. She deserves a good life.’

Bai Chen felt like he had let go of his feelings. He had chosen to let go of Long Xu In and protect her from afar. It was good enough for him to be in the shadows and see her living a happy life.

This was the least he could do to repay her for what she had done for him in the future!

“This is how much love can hurt..”

Bai Chen shook his head slowly. He looked at Long Xu In’s parting back. He finally smiled bitterly.

However, he did not want to go anywhere. He still stood there as if he wanted to imprint that image of Long Xu In’s back into the depths of his mind.

However, Bai Chen did not realise that there was a faded white shadow behind him. It was actually a fragment of the future Bai Chen’s conscious mind, which he’d left with the current Bai Chen.

Of course, he had left it here because he knew that this kind of situation would happen.

He, who had lost Long Xu In once, would not let her go anywhere again, even though it was very selfish of him.

Suddenly, the shadow of the conscious mind sent memories straight into Long Xu In’s head.

Long Xu In stopped walking with tears still running down her face. Her eyes widened.

It was as if her body and spirit had been violently shaken!

She could now see images. She saw Xu Xue Ning try to protect Bai Chen with her life and die!

Seconds later, the image changed. This time she saw a small girl with a doll-like face aged around 18 leap towards Bai Chen to protect him and die!

It was as if her soul had left her body after seeing those two images. Long Xu In made no movement at all!
