"Hurry up, take the ring and I'll leave, I'll never bother you again!" Ye Wan's eyes grew redder, as if they were about to bleed.
Gu Yunting slowly took off the ring he cherished and handed it back to her. Ye Wan felt as if she couldn't breathe, her heart aching. In this moment, she truly believed he no longer liked her.
Ye Wan slowly raised her hand to take the ring, as if his warmth still lingered on it, burning her heart. She suddenly laughed, but her laughter turned into tears.
"So, you really don't want me anymore!" Ye Wan looked at the burning brazier nearby. Perhaps a servant was burning trash here. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and threw the ring he had abandoned into it.
The flames instantly swallowed the ring. Gu Yunting watched the burning flames with a blank expression and said coldly, "You can leave now, right?"
"Take my ring off. Since we're breaking up, let's be completely done with each other, and never have any ties again!" Ye Wan raised her hand.
"If you have the ability, take it off yourself. If not, just keep wearing it." Gu Yunting couldn't bring himself to personally remove the ring that bound her. Perhaps he was still not giving up, perhaps he was still selfish, he just wanted her to have at least one thing of his left on her.
Ye Wan, however, took out a dagger and smiled, "If you don't take it off for me, I'll cut off this finger!"
Gu Yunting's pupils contracted violently. He saw a look of determination in her eyes and knew she wasn't joking!
"Gu Yunting, you're the one pushing me away this time. I won't give you another chance!" Ye Wan unhesitatingly stabbed her finger with the knife.
Blood instantly spurted out. Gu Yunting rushed forward, grabbed her wrist, his tall body starting to tremble. He raised his hand, took off the ring, and said, "Get out!"
An intense pain shot up her finger. Without the restraint of the ring, Ye Wan felt her heart completely hollowed out, as if her last connection to him had also vanished.
The dagger fell from Ye Wan's hand. She looked up and saw that woman appearing at the entrance of the first floor, looking at Gu Yunting with a worried expression.
Ye Wan could no longer bear to stay. She knew she had to give up completely. She turned and fled from this place that was breaking her.
Gu Yunting watched her car drive away. He turned and walked to the brazier, and without hesitation, plunged his hand into it. Gu Ye Li, seeing this, was startled and immediately rushed over, shouting, "Young Master!"
The woman also rushed over, calling out worriedly, "Young Master."
Gu Yunting ignored them. He finally found the ring, already deformed by the fire, amongst the burning trash. He immediately clenched it tightly in his palm.
The scorching silver burned through his flesh, embedding itself deeply into his palm. Gu Yunting held it as if it were the most precious thing in the world, regardless of how badly his hand was being burned, he just held on tightly.
It was as if by holding onto the ring so tightly, he could still possess her.
"Hurry and call Dr. Jin. Tell him the Young Master has been severely burned!" Gu Ye shouted.
The woman was also extremely nervous. She wanted to approach Gu Yunting, but his distant aura scared her from getting any closer. In fact, she knew she was just a tool, and she had no value in front of him.
Gu Yunting's skin was burned off, and some parts had large blisters, looking particularly terrifying. Everyone was extremely anxious.
