[He’s raised Jin Ling, so he knows better than to think Jin Ling is saying things he truly means. It doesn’t make it all hurt any less, however, as he steps around the table and bends to pick up the tea cup that Jin Ling had dropped.
His fingers curl around the cup and he stares helplessly after Jin Ling. He wants to stop him, but he doesn’t know if it’d be better to do that or let him go.]
Jin Ling. [Guangyao was a man whose point of pride had always been his words. He’d been praised up and down for the ability to end conflicts with a few well-placed ones, smooth tensions, raise people up. And yet now he was at a loss.]
...I will always love you. No matter what you choose after this... I’ll love you. [He won’t stop Jin Ling from storming out, because maybe that’s what he needs to do right now. Get away, burn off his anger, rage and cry and process this all. He’s not sure if Jin Ling specifically needs him right now in this moment, but Meng Yao wanted him to know this much truth at least.]
