Chapter 110: Her affection is worthless

Chapter 110: Her affection is worthless

The air was so still you could hear a pin drop, and Wen Jin could feel the oppressive aura emanating from him, as if a storm was brewing.

Did you confess your feelings to him after graduating high school? Tell me.

The tense voice was cold and gloomy.

If Wen Jin also gave a positive answer, Fu Yanjing couldn't guarantee he wouldn't break the woman's waist.

"No! I didn't write that at all."

Wen Jin also looked at Fu Yanjing, who seemed to want to crush the note into powder, and said, "Give the note back to me."

Those belong to An Yu.

Whether to tear it up or throw it away is also An Yu's choice.

Fu Yanjing clearly didn't believe it. "If you didn't write it, who else could have written it?"

An unfathomable emotion surged within him. Fu Yanjing's face was grim, and even his cold tone carried a hint of contempt:

"You like him, but he has no impression of you at all. Your crush is boring and insignificant in his life."

Fu Yanjing let go.

The crumpled piece of paper, which he had crumpled so badly it was unrecognizable, fell to the ground and rolled away.

All the way up to Wen Jinye's feet.

His tone was so indifferent it was devoid of any warmth: "This kind of thing is nothing but your self-pity."

Wen Jin was also taken aback.

She knew that Fu Yanjing had misunderstood.

After all, it's hard for someone as high-ranking as Fu Yanjing not to feel hurt and have his pride hurt when he misunderstands that his ex-girlfriend, with whom he had been together for three years, actually liked his brother in high school.

But she was still hurt by what Fu Yanjing said.

Her affection was utterly worthless to the person she truly had a crush on.

If Fu Yanjing knew that the person she liked was actually himself, what kind of disdainful words would he say?

Overestimating one's abilities, making a fool of oneself, and indulging in self-pity.

Her affection was worthless.

"My liking is worthless, are you satisfied now?"

Wen Jin's emotions were in turmoil, and something in her mind shattered completely.

"I never intended to bother anyone with this unrequited love; it's just a secret in my heart. Just because you look down on me, does that mean my feelings are a mistake even in their very existence?"

Fu Yanjing's eyes swirled with a dark glint. "I don't look down on you."

He was just—

He was experiencing an unprecedented sense of frustration, and driven by that resentment and even jealousy that he was unwilling to admit, he said these words almost uncontrollably.

But Fu Yanjing could not express it.

The night breeze made the hem of Wen Jinye's loose pajamas flutter, and Wen Jinye's fingertips turned white from clenching them. "That's just what you think."

As a prodigy, he considered even the slightest bit of attention from others to be an extraordinary blessing.

The light refracted through her moist eyes. She looked down at her toes and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Fu Yanjing, I cherish my feelings and my unrequited love. I don't need your comments or approval."

"Because these things have nothing to do with you anymore."

Fu Yanjing's unfinished question stirred up a huge wave in Wen Jinye's heart, causing her soul to tremble.

If it weren't for the note that happened to float by, if it weren't for the iron basin that Chiu Chiu accidentally overturned.

Perhaps Wen Jin had already lost her composure.

The secrets she wanted to keep hidden deep in her heart could not escape Fu Yanjing's all-seeing eyes.

At that moment, Wen Jin really wanted to admit it.

Wen Jin also likes Fu Yanjing.

It didn't start in Gangcheng, or even now; it began at Jiangbei No. 1 Middle School.

That kind of reckless, impulsive courage—if she hadn't done it tonight, she might never have been able to speak up in her entire life.

But she almost humiliated herself.

However, Wen Jin did not want to cause any trouble for Zhou Jichen because of Fu Yanjing's misunderstanding.

Wen Jin had calmed down by now. "If you came here just to find out about my high school crush, then I have nothing to say. I don't need Dr. Zhou to remember me, and he's not the person I like. Don't go around spreading rumors."

However, this statement had no persuasive power when it reached Fu Yanjing's ears.

After all, it's her home.

The book is hers too.

Her heartfelt grievances and sorrows were all genuine expressions of her feelings.

Wen Jinye's home is not big, but it is very cozy.

The current warmth is like an impenetrable net.

Fu Yanjing got up and straightened the wrinkles in his clothes, but the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed.

He ripped off his tie, loosened the top two buttons of his shirt, and realized that his difficulty breathing wasn't due to the meticulous collar.

Fu Yanjing's patience ran out, and his defenses completely crumbled:

"Wen Jinye, your handwriting in high school was really ugly."

"Like a tortoise crawling."

It seems that only in this way can I release some of the nameless anger that's been building up inside me.

He grabbed his coat from the sofa, and just as suddenly as he arrived, he left just as inexplicably.

The crumpled paper stopped not far from Wen Jinye's feet, somehow blocking his way.

Fu Yanjing took a big step, and his leather shoe kicked the paper ball, which rolled around and eventually rolled to the side of the trash can.

It seemed that that was where it should belong.

The next day in the office.

Wen Jin also had a new interview to follow up on. After organizing the interview outline and communicating with the other party's assistant, the morning passed in the blink of an eye.

The water in the glass has gone cold.

Wen Jin also got up and walked towards the tea room, where she found several people slacking off and waiting to leave work.

Even through the transparent glass, Wen Jin could feel Xiao Yin standing in the middle, talking incessantly and passionately.

"It must be a bad ending, otherwise how could a news story that makes entertainment headlines every two days disappear without a trace in just a few days?"

"Besides, marketing accounts used to love posting about them, as if they had the secret to traffic. If they hadn't been taken down, why would anyone risk their own livelihood?"

Several people expressed their agreement.

"Oh dear, even the love and waiting between the two of them, the white moonlight of high school, couldn't overcome reality and they still ended up going their separate ways. It's such a pity."

"And it's unbelievable, okay? After all, weren't they on a sweet date in Linshui City during the business summit? And it even made the trending topics at that time. I heard that Mr. Fu hosted a lavish banquet for He Jiayu's fans."

A colleague asked Xiaoyin, "You must know, right? You and Sister Jinye were in Linshui back then."

Xiao Yin sighed, "Yes, that's why I find it unbelievable."

She spoke until her mouth was dry, then gulped down a large mouthful of water before lamenting, "Why do I keep shipping couples with bad endings? I keep shipping couples with happy endings. The last couple I shipped was the male and female leads in 'Like a Dream,' they were so sweet I almost got diabetes, but then it turned out the male lead was gay, I was so angry."

My colleague laughed when he heard that, "There's hope for us die-hard fans!"

Xiao Yin: "We do not offer point-scoring services."

Some people are curious, "So, how did Mr. Fu and He Jiayu's relationship end?"

"How could ordinary people like us possibly understand the love and hate between the wealthy and powerful?" Xiao Yin had just finished speaking when she saw Wen Jin also push open the door and enter.

She suddenly leaned in and asked, "Sister Jinye, didn't you follow up with Mr. Fu again the day you came back from Linshui? Did you notice anything unusual about Mr. Fu's mood that day? Did you talk about his feelings?"

Wen Jin was also somewhat taken aback. "No, what's wrong?"

“Mr. Fu and Actress He broke up,” Xiao Yin said. “I guess it’s because Mr. Fu’s family doesn’t like the acting profession? That’s how it’s written in novels. Real wealthy families think that actors are demeaning because they’re in the public eye.”

Wen Jin gripped her cup tightly, recalling the uncompromising words spoken by Fu Yanjing's mother in the hospital room.

as well as--

She mentioned the family's arrangements for Fu Yanjing's marriage.

Perhaps that's the reason.

"Hey, look at the latest interview with He Jiayu that I forwarded in my group."
