Yu Sangwan instinctively tightened her grip on her apron, staring at Mrs. Lu, her voice becoming unsteady, "Mrs. Lu, can you make it clear? I... don’t quite understand what you an."
"Don’t understand?" Mrs. Lu lifted her hand, smoothed back her hair, and smiled slightly, "Actually, you do understand! But I comprehend your feelings now, you have no choice but to admit it yourself, alright... I will grant you this, so you can give it up."
Yu Sangwan’s mouth went dry, feeling herself getting closer to that dark truth!
"There’s a scent about you... it’s the scent that allows Jinxuan to sleep peacefully!" Mrs. Lu scoffed, "Tch! Doesn’t it sound unbelievable? But in fact, it’s just absurd. Since eting you, as long as he’s holding you, Jinxuan’s insomnia is miraculously cured."
Yu Sangwan froze, bits and pieces constantly surfacing from the depths of her heart...
You’re tired, go to sleep!
Our young master’s aning is, he ’needs’ your ’rest’ ti at night, a hundred thousand per night, three million a month, whether you want to settle daily or monthly is up to you, if you think a hundred thousand a night is too little, you can na your price...
I want you.
What are you doing here? Looking for you to sleep.
You sll nice, what perfu are you using?
I didn’t sleep last night...
I can’t be without you!
So that’s it! The truth turned out to be like this?
"Haha..." Yu Sangwan laughed uncontrollably, her expression embarrassed yet mournful. Those words which once sounded sweet, she thought were naturally uttered in deep love, until today, she realized Lu Jinxuan was telling the truth!
Genuine, unfiltered truth!
Without her, he can’t sleep! Being unable to be without her... did it really an this?
"Yu Sangwan?" Mrs. Lu called out to her doubtfully, seeing her expression was not right.
Yu Sangwan gritted her teeth, clenching her palms tightly, her fingertips embedding deeply into her flesh, "Mrs. Lu, what did you an when you said Jinxuan was ’incurably ill’ last ti?"
"That..." Mrs. Lu adjusted her glasses fra, "Don’t you understand? In the days you left him, he basically didn’t get any sleep. Did you notice? That day he went to bring you back, his dark circles were severe, and his eyes were full of red blood vessels."
She certainly noticed! But, who would have thought that beneath that pitiful appearance lay such a cruel reality!
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan clutched her head in agony. She couldn’t accept it; she had given all her love unreservedly to Lu Jinxuan, only to end up like this!
A voice kept reminding her from the depths of her heart... He doesn’t love her! He deceived her! She was nothing but a dose of Sleeping Pills to him!
Mrs. Lu’s words were adding insult to injury for her, "I took you to the lab because I wanted them to research what scent you emit that allows Jinxuan to sleep comfortably... If they can find it out, he won’t have to cling to you anymore..."
"..." Yu Sangwan couldn’t speak anymore; she felt like a joke, a joke that took herself too seriously!
"Sigh." Mrs. Lu sighed softly, stood up, and even patted Yu Sangwan on the shoulder, "Young lady, Jinxuan can be a little wilful... Of course, this is related to his upbringing from childhood, whatever he wanted was never out of reach. You must know, he has a fiancée of similar social status, a bright future ahead, how could you possibly be a good match for him?"
Yu Sangwan felt like she was slapped in the face, her dignity was swept away, and she didn’t even have the qualification to resist, because... she brought it all on herself!
"Then I’ll be off, take care of yourself."
Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, turned around, and left.
Yu Sangwan tightly closed her eyes, tears finally rolled down uncontrollably. "Why, why is it like this?"
"No, I need to ask him! I must get to the bottom of this!"
Yu Sangwan stood up abruptly, took out her phone, and dialed Lu Jinxuan’s number.
"Wanwan." Lu Jinxuan answered quickly, his deep voice still carrying a hint of allure.
"You... where are you?" Yu Sangwan struggled to control herself, her voice slightly trembling.
Lu Jinxuan chuckled, "What’s wrong? Miss already before it’s evening?"
"I want to see you, now, imdiately." Yu Sangwan took a deep breath and made her aning clear, "Can you co over now? I’m waiting for you at the community square."
"..." Lu Jinxuan paused slightly, obviously surprised, but he didn’t ask much, "Okay, I’ll be right over."
Hanging up the phone, every minute and second of waiting was tornting. The more Yu Sangwan thought, the colder her heart beca... All the kindness he showed to her beca purposeful, how cruel?
"Hah..." Lu Jinxuan, panting, stopped in front of her, his long, straight legs showing a bit of disorder, clearly having run over. "Wanwan?"
Yu Sangwan slowly lifted her head, looking into his deep eyes, her heart sharply aching. The corners of her mouth curved bitterly, "Lu Jinxuan, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course!" Lu Jinxuan, unsuspecting, replied, "How can I not be anxious about your matters?"
"Heh..." Yu Sangwan took a deep breath, laughed, and when she looked at Lu Jinxuan, there was a crack in her eyes, "Are you so anxious because... you’re afraid your ’Sleeping Pills’ might have an issue?"
Sleeping Pills... Lu Jinxuan’s smile instantly faded, his brows furrowed, and his expression turned serious, "Who told you that?"
"Ha!" Yu Sangwan laughed loudly, shaking her head, tears streaming down, "How could I still hold any hope for you? Lu Jinxuan, did you buy back then just because I could make you sleep? Is that it?"
Lu Jinxuan tightly pressed his thin lips, lowering his eyes, not speaking.
"Speak!" Yu Sangwan lost control, grabbing his collar, "I’m asking you, didn’t you hear ? Are you deaf? Or dumb? Is it or isn’t it?"
"..." Lu Jinxuan gazed at her, his thin lips slightly parted, "Yes."
A single ’yes’ successfully pushed Yu Sangwan, who was standing on the edge of the abyss, down!
The strength in Yu Sangwan’s hands vanished, and her whole body fell backward sharply. Lu Jinxuan hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch her, "Wanwan, Wanwan, what’s wrong?"
"Ugh..." Yu Sangwan gasped, at this mont, she loathed Lu Jinxuan’s touch imnsely. She went mad, shoving him away, "Get lost! Get away from !"
"Wanwan." Lu Jinxuan stumbled, trying to step forward to grab her, "Let explain..."
"No need!" Yu Sangwan raised her hand to stop him, "Lu Jinxuan, you’re so cruel! Knowing I was just a dose of Sleeping Pills, why make believe that you fell in love with ? Do you know how much I liked you? Toying with my feelings like this, you are the real garbage! Garbage!"
Yu Sangwan shook her head forcefully, turned around, and ran away.
"Wanwan!"
