As Ye Mucheng spoke, he walked to Jiang Hua's side, took her hand, and kissed her passionately.
Jiang Hua was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Hua glared at Ye Mucheng.
"I know I'm being a bit rash, but I've been thinking about this for a long time. Every quiet night, I'm alone thinking about you, so I always fill my time to the brim. People say I'm a workaholic, but only I know that I just want to numb my senses with work so I don't have to think about you. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will come back to you."
Jiang Hua was also deeply moved as she listened. She wasn't a heartless person, and she was touched by what Ye Mucheng said. But what's done is done, and there's no going back.
It's impossible for them to be together anymore. Besides, she already has Gu Yiming, the person she wants to spend her life with. There's absolutely no hope for her with Ye Muchen.
So Jiang Hua composed herself and said, "Ye Mucheng, we can't go back to the way things were. Don't say anything more. Let those beautiful memories from the past be a memento, and let them fade away with time."
Ye Mucheng didn't think so. He said very seriously, "No, I won't forget. I'm willing to wait for you to turn back. I believe you will realize that you like me. After all, we've been together for so long, and no one can replace me."
Jiang Hua was quite helpless. She had told him everything, but he was still so stubborn.
As if emphasizing something, Ye Mucheng said again, "Jiang Hua, I believe that as long as I keep trying, you will be moved by me. In the end, you will still feel that I am the most suitable person and the one who loves you the most. Until then, I will be by your side until you understand your own heart."
As he spoke, he held Jiang Hua's hand tightly in his own, as if she would disappear if he let go.
Jiang Xiang felt helpless in the face of Ye Mucheng's behavior, but there was nothing she could do. Despite all she had said, Ye Mucheng still wouldn't listen.
Only time will tell Ye Mucheng that what she said was true.
So Jiang Hua was about to turn and leave when Ye Muchen, not knowing what she was doing, quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I've said everything I needed to say. I have a lot of things to take care of, so I need to go back now." Actually, Jiang Hua just wanted to leave Ye Mucheng as soon as possible; her current state made her very depressed.
"We've only just met, and you're already leaving? Even if we're no longer a couple, we're still friends, aren't we? Can't you have a meal with me before you go?"
Ye Mucheng secretly wanted Jiang Hua to stay and spend more time with him, as they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Can't you go eat by yourself? This place is still the same as before."
"But I'll be lonely by myself. Can't you just treat me to a meal to welcome me home? It won't be long." Ye Mucheng knew that Jiang Hua was the most soft-hearted person, and she wouldn't disagree with what he said.
As expected, Jiang Hua thought for a while and then agreed: "Okay, that's the only way. I'll go to dinner with you, but it doesn't mean anything by it. Please don't misunderstand. I'll leave after dinner."
Ye Mucheng was already quite pleased that Jiang Hua was having dinner with him, so he happily promised, "Okay, okay, it's just a simple meal. I'll let you leave after we finish eating."
After the two agreed, Jiang Hua took Ye Muchen to the nearest restaurant for a meal.
Jiang Hua looked at him and said, "I don't know if your taste has changed, but the food here is pretty good. Try it and see if you like it. If you're not satisfied, I'll find you another place."
Ye Mucheng was very happy that Jiang Hua could still remember his tastes, which meant that they still understood each other.
He was secretly pleased, but didn't say it out loud, afraid of scaring Jiang Hua. He simply said, "This place is fine, right? As long as you're with me, anywhere will taste delicious."
Jiang Hua was too lazy to explain anymore, and just wanted to finish eating quickly so they could part ways.
Jiang Hua ordered a table full of dishes, many of which she remembered Ye Mucheng liking.
"Alright, as your friend, I'm treating you to this meal to welcome you back. I hope you have a pleasant memory here." Jiang Hua said this politely without any other special meaning.
But Ye Muchen took it to heart. He looked at her with a thoughtful expression and said, "I believe you will."
Jiang Hua avoided his gaze and said, "Alright, let's not talk so much, you eat."
Ye Mucheng, being quite sensible, didn't say anything and started eating as well.
After they had almost finished eating, Jiang Hua said that she had to leave first.
Ye Mucheng had no other excuse to persuade her to stay, so he had to agree and let Jiang Hua leave first. But this did not mean that he had given up.
Ye Mucheng would not give up; he believed he would win back Jiang Hua's heart.
So after they separated, Ye Mucheng found out the address of Jianghua Company and decided to wait for her downstairs at the company every day, hoping to move her.
He realized he was indeed quite tired today, so he decided to go back and rest before starting his grand plan to pursue Jiang Hua tomorrow. He rushed back without telling his family, nor did he want them to know, so he found a hotel to stay in.
After confirming the address of Jianghua Company, Ye Mucheng finally got some sleep.
The next day, he got up early and went to the entrance of Jiang Hua's company, hoping to see her as soon as possible.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Hua finally arrived, but she seemed not to see him at all, avoiding him and going into the company.
Ye Mucheng was saddened by Jiang Hua's lack of response, but he didn't give up. He encouraged himself, telling himself it was just a small difficulty, and that as long as he persisted, he would definitely move Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua did see Ye Muchen, but she simply didn't want to pay attention to him. She didn't want him to bother her anymore, and she had already said everything she needed to say. There was no point in continuing like this.
Therefore, she felt that she had to persevere and not give Ye Muchen any hope, lest he suffer in the future.
However, Ye Mucheng didn't think that way and continued to wait downstairs, which attracted the hearts of many young girls in the company, who kept stealing glances at him.
They chatted amongst themselves about who the handsome guy was waiting for. Jiang Hua knew perfectly well who it was, but she said nothing. She didn't want others to misunderstand.
Jiang Hua thought Ye Mucheng would wait downstairs for a while and then go back, but she didn't expect him to still be waiting when she got off work.
Jiang Hua was very surprised and stepped forward to ask, "Ye Mucheng, what are you doing? Haven't I already explained it to you? Why are you still looking for me here?"
