"I also went through this when I was young. I really liked someone back then, but because of some things, I misunderstood him, which led to a rift between us and we eventually lost contact. When I found out the truth, I regretted it, but you can't go back to someone you've missed."
"Miss Fang, please don't take offense, but if you like someone, then be brave and pursue them. Don't let yourself regret it. There's no going back in life; once you miss your chance, it's truly gone..."
Fang Xue shook her head: "Thank you for your advice, but there is no romantic interest between us, so... there is no misunderstanding."
The pursuit is just a plot, and being a simp is just a necessity. Only when you let go of all that will the real thing emerge.
There is a misunderstanding; perhaps people would think that way if they couldn't hear what's on their minds.
However, this is not a misunderstanding at all.
Sitting opposite her, Cai Jingya watched quietly. She already understood that Fang Xue also had feelings for Luo Chen.
Even if they had been rejecting and loathing it before.
Over time, it will always leave a mark on your heart.
Fang Xue herself may not have seen it clearly, but how could Cai Jingya, as an observer, not have noticed it?
Even the general manager, who had only met him once, could tell, but the person involved was completely confused.
The general manager shook his head helplessly: "Ms. Fang, you just haven't seen it clearly yet. If you look at it from the perspective of an outsider, you might make some unexpected discoveries waiting for you to uncover. Although I don't know who the person you care about is, he is undoubtedly important to you."
"I originally thought the guy who came with you last time would be your boyfriend, since he wanted me to keep something a secret. But it turns out I was overthinking it. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
As he spoke, the general manager revealed a helpless look in his eyes, and then prepared to turn and leave.
But at this moment, Fang Xue stood up and grabbed the general manager's arm.
"Miss Fang?"
"You just said...you were to keep it a secret, what was that?"
The things Luo Chen had whispered with the general manager on the last day of her birthday reminded her of what was happening. Now, when she heard the general manager suddenly say it, she instinctively stood up and grabbed him.
The general manager paused for a moment, then explained, "It's not really anything important. I originally wanted to give you a free meal that day, since I felt guilty about the misunderstanding, but he refused."
"He told me that this was my first birthday and he didn't want me to have any regrets. He wanted to give me a wonderful memory. Although I didn't quite understand what he meant at the time and didn't think it was a big deal, I still nodded in agreement."
After the general manager left.
Fang Xue sat there blankly, lost in thought.
Cai Jingya didn't disturb them, but simply stayed quietly by their side.
The previous words had a great impact on the other party's snow.
She had already concluded that Luo Chen was only pursuing her for the sake of the plot, constantly fawning over her like a lapdog.
He has never been sincere when it comes to matters of the heart.
Not even a little bit.
Luo Chen probably wouldn't pay attention to anything concerning her.
but……
Why would Luo Chen remember that this was her first birthday?
Why should we ensure she has no regrets, and why should we keep it a secret from the general manager?
Why did he do that?
Fang Xue burst into tears.
She couldn't understand it.
They already said those things.
But why would you do something like that?
I've clearly stopped thinking about it.
Why should she know?
"Luo Chen, you're a bastard!"
Fang Xue suddenly stood up and ran towards the door.
Tears streaming down her face, all she wanted to do at that moment was find Luo Chen and confront him with his questions.
He watched helplessly as Fang Xue suddenly ran away.
Cai Jingya shook her head helplessly: "Xiao Chenzi, you really are a despicable guy, and a complete bastard at that."
A bastard who makes women cry.
[...]
Rockwell Group.
Meeting room.
"So, can someone tell me what's going on?"
Luo Chen stared speechlessly at the three people in front of him.
Ye Xiaoli, with her charming smile, sat next to him.
Fang Wu and his son Fang Tian, from the Fang Group, sat opposite each other.
Let's set aside whether this strange combination is incongruous or not.
But why do they insist on coming here to discuss this?
"Luo Chen, isn't it obvious?"
Ye Xiaoli rested her chin on one hand, turned her head and smiled at Luo Chen, saying, "We're in the conference room, so of course we're having a meeting. You shouldn't mind, right?"
[You wouldn't mind... what a joke!]
[Ye Xiaoli, you're too casual! You've even brought your meeting here. Didn't you already go back to Yan Province? What are you still doing here?]
[And why did this father and son come here too? What do they want?]
Seeing Luo Chen's dark expression and the look that he wanted to flip the table.
Ye Xiaoli continued to smile.
Why not hold the meeting here if you can see Luo Chen here?
She wouldn't have been interested in such a boring meeting with Fang Wu and his son if Luo Chen weren't there.
Besides, she never said she was going back to Yan Province; it was just a misunderstanding on Luo Chen's part.
Moreover, the main reason for holding the meeting here was to see if the man she was fascinated by would bring her any surprises.
"Young Master Luo, it is indeed our fault for suddenly disturbing you, but this matter is very important to us and the Fang family, so please forgive us. Afterwards, I will definitely invite you to dinner as compensation."
Seeing that Luo Chen's expression was off, Fang Wu quickly explained that if this matter hadn't been so important to them, and if Ye Xiaoli hadn't suddenly wanted to discuss it with the Luo family, the father and son really wouldn't have wanted to come here.
After all, the cooperative relationship between the two parties has ended and will never cooperate again, so the relationship can be considered broken.
It hasn't been explicitly stated that things have truly broken down, but it's close enough.
But now the Luo family has almost surpassed the ranks of super families, so even if Fang Wu is dissatisfied, he doesn't dare to have any opinions about Luo Chen.
He could only vent his resentment on Fang Xue.
If Fang Xue hadn't been so proud and refused to accept Luo Chen's advances and become his girlfriend, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
By becoming Luo Chen's fiancée, the Luo family will become even stronger in the future, and the Fang family will also gain honor.
But it's too late now, and that won't happen.
Fang Wu's opinion of Fang Xue deepened.
If she weren't my own daughter, I would have punished her.
Fang Tian, who is now the president of Fang's Group, remained silent, even though everyone present was of higher status than him.
Even though he is now the president of the Fang Group, he still has to face his own father, Miss Ye from the Ye family in Yan Province, and Luo Chen.
He wasn't even qualified.
Nod, say hello, and continue to act as if he's invisible.
"What is it? Tell me. If I'm not interested, you can just leave. I don't want to put up with you."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Fang Wu didn't dare to refute Luo Chen's impolite words at all.
