My ex-boyfriend claimed he had a congenital reproductive issue for my sake. I was touched, but I couldn't help but laugh!
When the introverted stutterer met her over-imaginative ex-boyfriend again...
"I don't..."
"Hmm? I knew you didn't want to talk anymore! Ha-ha, women."
"No..."
"How could it not matter! Am I really that insignificant to you?"
"Don't..."
"Don't want to see me anymore, right? I'm leaving!"

Kate Gilbert had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet Alex Ashton again one day.
She would dress up beautifully, wear the prettiest dress, step into a pair of stilettos, and be the proudest princess.
But life had other plans.
On her first day back at work after returning to the country, Kate had no idea what "the morning rush hour" meant. She hit the gas, only to find the road completely jammed.
As she was about to be late, she grew anxious. Spotting a small gap, she boldly turned the wheel, hoping to squeeze through.
But things didn't go as planned. Her old second-hand car broke down completely and she even got into a car accident.
The owner of the SUV, which had been inexplicably rear-ended, got out of his car, cursing and pointing at Kate. "Hey, you! Yes, you! Are you even capable of driving? Are you in a hurry to meet your maker? Get out of the car..."
Kate, naturally shy and terrified of arguments, was completely flustered, her eyes wide with shock.
The man opened her car door and grabbed her arm, pulling her out. Kate stumbled but managed to stand upright.
Knowing she was at fault, Kate shrank back, enduring his harsh words.
Most people on the road at this hour were rushing to work. Half of the road was occupied by them and the honking sounds came one after another all around, which invisibly aggravated the man's anger.
The seemingly vulnerable girl in front of him seemed easy to bully. His insults grew more intense, his dark hand raised, pointing at her pale face. "You better..."
Before he could finish, his hand was stopped. A deep gray suit appeared less than half a meter from Kate, and a heavy voice sounded above her, "Try touching her, I dare you."
Damn!
Kate's face turned pale, her head lowered even further. The embarrassment she felt multiplied, leaving her in disbelief and wishing she could dig a hole to hide in. Yet, a part of her hoped... was it him?
She looked up, the morning sunlight piercing her eyes, making her blink as tears streamed down her cheeks.
In that moment, the man in the suit had swiftly resolved the situation, paying a hefty sum before turning to take Kate's hand.
Kate, always one for beauty, wore little even in winter. Her slender frame was wrapped in a coat, revealing a stretch of leg.
The man frowned, silently leading her to a Maybach parked nearby. "Get in."
"Huh?" Kate took a deep breath, brushing her bangs aside. "No need... I'll take a cab..."
"Get in!" The man leaned down, his gaze falling on her neck, his voice tinged with anger. "I have things to do. If you don't want to delay me, hurry up, okay?"
His presence was overwhelming. Kate pursed her lips and bent down to get in.
"Where to?"
"Nova Tech Building..." Kate whispered timidly, "What about my car..."
"I'll have someone take care of it." The man turned his head, giving her a long look, a fleeting emotion in his eyes, a silent scoff.
The man thought to himself, "Kate, you've finally reappeared..."
Where should this story begin?
At eighteen, Alex was the heartthrob of the campus. Tall, handsome, and intelligent, he was always on the school's honor roll. Everyone who saw him would say, "Alex is our role model."
Many pursued him back then, sending love letters one after another, all to no avail.
Some, unable to win his affection, spread rumors out of spite, claiming Alex was an unwanted orphan living with relatives.
Teenagers were often influenced by rumors. The rumors grew more outrageous, eventually painting Alex as a lonely outcast.
Alex never bothered to explain. He continued doing what he needed to do, undisturbed.
Then, a girl who had just entered senior high school, secretly infatuated with him.
That girl was Kate.
Ha-ha... Alex gripped the steering wheel, mocking himself for being such a fool.
