"Do you really dislike me that much?" Huang Peilan's eyes reddened.

"Junior Sister Huang, it's not that I don't like you, it's just that my feelings for you are only those of a senior brother for a junior sister, nothing more." Although Huo Minxue didn't have much experience in matters of the heart, he knew very well that this kind of thing had to be made clear once and for all.

Being vague and ambiguous will only make the other party feel that there is still a chance, which will only make things more painful in the end.

"You don't like me, is it because you've been seduced by other women?" Huang Peilan's tone suddenly became accusatory.

"What did you say?" Huo Minxue's voice suddenly turned cold.

“I saw it all. Yesterday when you got off work, a woman came to pick you up. She was dressed as seductively as could be, and she walked with a swaying gait. She was obviously not a decent girl. Senior Brother Minxue, were you deceived?” Huang Peilan couldn’t help but blurt it all out.

But her words only fueled Huo Minxue's anger.

"Junior Sister Huang, I always thought you were just a little slow to learn and not very quick-witted, but you were still a kind-hearted person. How could you hurt someone so badly after only meeting them once and not even exchanging a single word with them? Where is your manners?"

"You yelled at me? You yelled at me for a woman like that?" Huang Peilan cried even harder.

"I was just telling the truth, I wasn't being mean. Besides, we're just colleagues, there's no other relationship between us." Huo Minxue's words were quite harsh, and Huang Peilan's tears froze on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

"Comrade Huang, I hope that in the future you can focus more on your professional abilities and less on my personal life." After saying this, Huo Minxue turned and left without pausing for a moment.

Huang Peilan only realized what was happening when she heard the door close. She turned around abruptly, but Huo Minxue was no longer behind her.

What did he just call her?

Comrade Huang?

How could he address her with such an unfamiliar title?

They had known each other longer, she was the one who understood him best, and their social statuses were more compatible.

Why did he humiliate her like that?

It must be that woman!

That woman must have seduced Huo Minxue!

Huang Peilan's hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched into fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

"..."

Huo Minxue originally planned to go to the balcony to relax and find inspiration, but instead of finding inspiration, she became even more frustrated, so she simply left work early.

Everyone else was shocked to see Huo Minxue packing his things.

"Senior Brother Minxue, are you about to leave work?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Mm." Huo Minxue nodded.

Is something wrong at home?

"Um."

Whether it was because Huo Minxue's expression was too unpleasant or because his emotions were too cold, no one else asked any further questions.

Huo Minxue didn't say much, packed his things and left directly.

However, just as he reached the door, he saw Huang Peilan coming in from outside.

When Huang Peilan saw him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Huo Minxue ignored her and walked right past her.

Huang Peilan stopped speaking immediately, though she tried her best to pretend nothing had happened and went to her post.

But her eyes were so red that it was hard for anyone not to notice.

In addition, she and Huo Minxue went out one after the other and came back one after the other.

One had a livid face, and the other had bloodshot eyes; something seemed amiss.

But to save Huang Peilan's face, everyone pretended not to see it and kept their heads down, busy with their own work.
