CHAPTER 1505: CHAPTER 1427: LETTING GO

"Not answering? Could it really be true?"

"Forget it, I was just trying to help you look into it. Seeing you act so paranoid, I don’t even want to bother anymore." He tapped her head lightly.

This intimate gesture made her feel completely uncomfortable.

In her memory, there had never been a moment like this. At first, he ignored her completely, then he looked down on her with contempt, and finally, he found her too irritating to deal with.

Her long memory unraveled in her mind like a scroll, vivid and clear, so vivid that she couldn’t forget even a single detail.

The questions she wanted to ask remained stuck in her throat.

Suddenly, she realized that he wasn’t without answers; he simply had never been willing to tell her.

And she had already made up her mind long ago; so why did she still insist on getting an answer?

What was she holding onto? What was she longing for?

"Let’s go. Why are you just staring blankly there?" Fu Rong’s voice came from behind her.

Wen Li walked out of the restaurant and, seeing the two of them, showed no sign of surprise in his expression.

"How are you feeling? Not sick, are you?" He approached Ye Ranran and asked with concern.

Not wanting him to worry, Ye Ranran shook her head lightly. "I’m fine."

She grabbed two steamed buns from inside and followed Fu Rong away.

"Is it enough to eat?" he asked, his tone calm.

"It’s enough," she replied, as usual.

After admitting to herself those faint and hidden feelings in her heart, Ye Ranran suddenly felt relieved.

It turned out she had never truly let go, nor had she moved on. That was why she and him always clashed.

If she truly didn’t care anymore, then why was she still demanding an answer?

Whether he liked her, whether he loved her, none of it mattered anymore. Didn’t she already cease to desire him?

At last, she could face him with calm and quiet indifference.

When she arrived at the office building, Sun Yi blocked Fu Rong’s way.

"Fu Rong," Sun Yi stood in front of him.

Fu Rong’s gaze was icy and clear. He said nothing, only looked at her with a chilling stare.

Sun Yi felt an unwarranted pressure bearing down upon her.

"I need to talk to you," she said under the weight of the tension.

"I’ve already made everything clear. I don’t think there’s anything left for us to discuss."

"Nothing left to say? We’ve been together for over a year, we were even discussing marriage, and now you say there’s nothing left to talk about?"

People came and went outside the office building. Those who recognized them dared not stop to watch, only casting quick glances toward them, though their eyes carried confidential speculations.

Ye Ranran, fearing that opportunists might stir up trouble, quickly stepped in front of them and said, "Miss Sun, it’s work hours now. Could you please arrange a time after work for personal matters?"

"It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t be acting so out of character." Sun Yi pointed her finger at her. "During those two years when you were gone, he and I never had a single problem."

Everything had spiraled out of control after her return.

"Miss Sun, please mind your words. We have a meeting shortly. If you don’t have anything urgent, I suggest you leave immediately, or I’ll have to ask security to escort you out."

Ye Ranran’s words were solely meant to prompt Sun Yi to leave. It was work hours, and people were constantly passing by. In a short while, Fu Rong would be participating in an election.

If some scandal broke out now, it would be disastrous.

Who could’ve guessed that Fu Rong, as if the situation wasn’t chaotic enough, deliberately stirred things further? He stood beside Ye Ranran, his handsome face radiating cold disdain. "I thought this matter was abundantly clear to you all along. Now, not understanding the situation, you still dare to come here and make a scene?"

His words carried a veiled message: with such foolishness, did she truly expect him to ever fall for her?
