Chapter 190
“But even if I do get promoted, I still won’t be good enough for you, will 1?” he asked.
Serenity was at a loss for words,
Peter smiled wryly and added, “Actually, even before you said those things to me, I’d already thought
about changing jobs. I can already see how the rest of my career will pan out if I keep working in the
Sanitation Office. I want to find some new challenges before I turn 30.”
Challenges? If the old Serenity had to choose between an unknown life full of challenges or a stable life
that had everything planned out, she would probably choose the former.
But after all the things she had been through, she now knew that stability was actually the most
important thing in life
Serenity took a deep breath and said, “You don’t have to take what I said that day to heart. I just don’t
want you to keep wasting your time on me. I don’t have that kind of feeling for you, so it wouldn’t work

After a pause, she told him slowly and clearly, “If I really do love you, then no matter how terrible your
situation is, I’ll still choose to be with you, but if I don’t love you, then even if you become successful in
the future, I still won’t be with you.”
Peter was visibly disappointed. He then smiled and said, “Is that so? See, I knew I wasn’t wrong about
you. There’s no way the person I like could be someone so materialistic.”
“Are you still quitting then?” Serenity did not want him to lose a stable job because of her,
“I’ve always wanted to try my luck outside,” Peter said seriously without any negative emotions.
“Regardless of whether I succeed, at least I won’t have any regrets.
Seeing Peter’s determination, Serenity knew further persuasion was futile, so she said, “In that case…
I wish you back.”
“Thank you!” he said.
Before Serenity left, Peter said, “Serenity, you’re a good woman. I’m not lucky enough to make you fall
for me, but you don’t have to feel guilty. My resignation has nothing to do with you. I’m doing it so that I
can give my future significant other a better life.”
After leaving Peter’s department, Serenity’s heart felt heavy. She was frustrated.
Two days later, Peter quit from the Sanitation Office. The Sanitation Office organized a farewell party
for Peter at a restaurant
Serenity attended the farewell party. After the meal, Peter invited everyone to karaoke.
After that, when it was time to go home, Peter told Serenity, “Serenity, will you let me send you home
one last time today? After today, I won’t have the chance to do so anymore.”
This time, Serenity did not refuse.
Peter thus drove Serenity home. When they arrived at the entrance to Serenity’s neighborhood,
Serenity got out and said to Peter, “Goodbye.”
Peter hesitated for a moment before saying, “Goodbye.”
It was a simple word, but it carried a lot of emotions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis pursuit of her was destined to be fruitless from the beginning. However, Peter never regretted it.
Serenity actually had a far more difficult life than he could have ever imagined. Not many people could
endure such ups and downs. Yet, she was like a wintersweet after a severe winter; even if the wind and
the frost of winter tried to destroy her, she still bloomed and emitted her own unique fragrance after
winter had passed

Her beauty was not deliberate and eye-catching, but it was so attractive. Her gentleness could warm
someone’s soul.
He actually wanted to ask her if she was already in love with someone else, and if she was, who the
man was.
But for some reason, when the words reached his throat, man who called her “Sis” came to mind
