<h4>Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Tang Yuchen, It’s All Too Late</h4>


    The man’s eyes widened slightly, revealing a mix of joy and anticipation, as well as unease.


    An Ruo looked at him calmly, and said lightly, "I’m not afraid to let you know that I still have feelings for you, and sometimes you still affect my mood.


    But this feeling is no longer love, Tang Yuchen. Even if I haven’tpletely given up on you, I will no longer have any expectations of you.


    I’m serious, not just saying it... I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Let go."


    Tang Yuchen pressed his lips together tightly, his dark pupils trembling as he gazed deeply at her.


    She said she hadn’tpletely given up on him, which should have made him happy, but she also said that she would no longer have any expectations of him...


    His feelings wereplex, a mix of happiness and pain, but it was always more bitter than sweet.


    "An Ruo, is there really no chance for me to try again?" he murmured to her.


    She looked at him, her gaze calm, without a trace of being moved.


    "Actually, we’re not suitable for each other. Every time we’re together, we get hurt. Tang Yuchen, I’m so tired. Can’t you just let me go?"


    "No!" Tang Yuchen roared softly, pulling her tightly into his embrace, "You tell me to let you go, but who will let me go?"


    An Ruowei parted her lips to speak, but before she could say anything, he continued, "An Ruo, give me one more chance, just onest time, okay? I just need thisst chance. If I hurt you again, I will let you go, forever..."


    "..."


    Without receiving her response, Tang Yuchen held her even tighter, his heart filled with nervous tension.


    "Isn’t even thisst chance okay? Really, I swear, if I hurt you again, I’ll never bother you again."


    His tone was full of urgency and expectation, like a helpless, desperate child clinging to thest bit of hope.


    He feared that even this glimmer of hope would vanish, feared beingpletely abandoned, feared falling into the abyss of utter despair.


    He put forth all his strength, staking everything he had, just to grasp at this sliver of hope...


    Tears welled up in An Ruo’s eyes, her heart aching.


    Why did you have to say these things to her only after hurting her again and again?


    She took a deep breath, pushed against his body; Tang Yuchen shuddered, holding her even tighter, refusing to let go at all.


    An Ruo couldn’t push him away and was held so tightly that she couldn’t breathe.


    Giving up her futile struggles, she said to him lightly, "Tang Yuchen, it’s all toote."


    The man’s pupils shrank, his heart aching sharply, and suddenly, he was gripped by fear.


    An Ruowei shook her head slightly, "It’s not like if you regret and change, I will overlook everything ande back to you. My heart has long since wandered away, and I won’t give you any more chances."


    Word by word, she spoke decisively, leaving no room for hope.


    Tang Yuchen’s inner fear grew, his face turning pale, his whole body trembling slightly.


    "Really, it’s over?" After a long while, he asked again, unable to let go.


    "Yes," An Ruo said resolutely, "Let go. You ask who will let you go after letting go of me. In fact, only you can let yourself go. I’m not only asking you to let go of me but also hoping you can let go of yourself. Tang Yuchen, letting go is not as hard as you think."


    "Then tell me, was it hard for you when you let go of me?" he asked her.


    An Ruo’s eyes flickered.
