He Yuanyuan had been with that rich second-generation heir for over half a year, and she really did enjoy quite a lot during that ti.
Unfortunately, the good tis didn’t last. The rich kid never planned to keep He Yuanyuan long-term. After half a year he got tired of her and just went and found so Z‑list starlet to keep instead.
He Yuanyuan cried and made a scene, but it was useless.
Her job had been arranged by that rich kid; because she made too much of a fuss, he directly had soone fire her.
Now He Yuanyuan was looking for work everywhere.
"Next, He Yuanyuan."
He Yuanyuan went in with her résumé. The interviewer’s impression of her was pretty good; when she ca out, she finally let out a breath of relief.
He Yuanyuan walked to the elevator. The doors opened, and inside stood a group of people in suits. The man standing in the very middle made her freeze.
Gao Teng also froze when he saw a familiar face.
Gao Teng had strictly followed Chuzheng’s words and hadn’t paid any attention to He Yuanyuan, so after that ti, he never saw her again.
Sotis he would wonder what he’d feel if he saw He Yuanyuan again.
Now, seeing her so suddenly, Gao Teng felt very calm inside.
"President Gao?"
Soone behind him called out.
Gao Teng snapped back, stepped out of the elevator, gave He Yuanyuan a slight nod, and left calmly.
Soone glanced at He Yuanyuan curiously, probably wondering why Gao Teng would greet her.
And the person next to Gao Teng had already smoothly started reporting the latest project progress to him.
It took He Yuanyuan quite a while to co back to her senses. She grabbed a nearby employee. "Who was that man just now?"
"Oh, that’s our project departnt’s President Gao."
"Is his na Gao Teng?"
"Yeah."
So she hadn’t mistaken him. It really was Gao Teng.
But the Gao Teng now was almost unrecognizable to her—more confident than before, more handso than before...
-
He Yuanyuan did get the offer in the end. With a nervous heart she went to work, thinking she’d be able to run into Gao Teng.
Unfortunately, Gao Teng wasn’t that free; you couldn’t see him just whenever.
But quite a few people in the company were secretly gossiping about him.
"Does he have a girlfriend?" He Yuanyuan asked casually.
"No, President Gao is single." The female employee who answered paused. "But I heard there’s soone chasing him. She drives a Rolls-Royce."
"Isn’t our boss’s daughter into President Gao too?"
"She is?"
"Of course. She runs to the project departnt every few days. Isn’t it all for President Gao?"
He Yuanyuan felt a chill in her heart.
It was like sothing that belonged to her had been snatched away.
That man used to be hers...
He Yuanyuan found out Gao Teng’s schedule and finally managed to wait for him.
"Gao Teng." He Yuanyuan called out to him.
Gao Teng’s hand paused on the car door. He followed the voice and looked over.
He Yuanyuan was clearly dressed up carefully today, in a pure white long dress, looking almost exactly like when she and Gao Teng had first gotten together...
"Gao Teng, you... long ti no see." He Yuanyuan walked over.
"Mm." Gao Teng’s reaction was very flat. "Long ti no see."
This wasn’t the reaction He Yuanyuan had expected. That day when they first ran into each other, she’d thought it was because there were people around that he couldn’t show anything.
But it’d been so many days, and he still hadn’t made any move to contact her.
Now that she’d co to him on her own, he was still this indifferent... Was this really the man who’d loved her for five or six years?
"Can we have a al together soti?"
Gao Teng said politely, but distant, "I have a eting later. Sorry."
"..."
"Then when are you free..."
"We’ve been broken up for a long ti. There’s no need for us to have a al together." Gao Teng cut her off.
He Yuanyuan’s expression was a bit awkward. "So we broke up and we can’t even be friends?"
Gao Teng said, "If I can still be friends with you, that would an I never really loved you before."
Hearing that, a flicker of joy rose in He Yuanyuan’s heart. She stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve. "Gao Teng, I was wrong before. Please forgive , okay? Let’s get back together, alright? You still love , don’t you?"
Gao Teng pushed her hand away. "I did love you. The ti we were together is my most beautiful mory. But... I don’t love you anymore. I have my own life now."
Once, he’d thought he’d never be able to say those words.
But when the ti ca, they ca out naturally.
Ti really can wash everything away...
"Gao Teng, how can you not love anymore? You once said you’d only love in this life."
"If you hadn’t betrayed , I really would’ve only loved one person."
"I know I was wrong. Gao Teng, give one more chance, okay?"
Gao Teng shook his head. They didn’t have a chance anymore.
A car pulled up beside them. Not wanting to tangle with her any further, he opened his car door to leave.
But that car suddenly stopped next to them, the window rolled down, and Chuzheng’s face appeared. "Gao Teng."
"Miss Chuzheng?"
"I’m here to collect..."
Chuzheng saw He Yuanyuan, who’d been blocked from her view just now. Her tone paused slightly, and she didn’t finish the sentence.
Gao Teng understood what she ant, said a couple of words to He Yuanyuan, then got into Chuzheng’s car.
Watching Chuzheng’s face, He Yuanyuan’s expression went stiff and embarrassed. So this was why Gao Teng refused to take her back now?
But that face left her with no courage to go after them at all.
Too beautiful...
She felt as if she’d lost sothing important forever, sothing she could never get back.
-
"How do you feel?"
Gao Teng gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "I always thought that when I stood in front of her again, I’d feel the thrill of revenge. But seeing her like that, I just felt it was a bit pathetic."
If he were just an ordinary office worker, would He Yuanyuan have co to get back together with him?
Gao Teng didn’t know, and didn’t want to know.
Not wanting to stay on this topic, he changed it. "Miss Chuzheng, what remuneration do you want?"
At that question, he felt a little nervous.
Back then, Chuzheng had said the paynt would definitely be sothing he could afford, but she hadn’t said what it was.
Chuzheng pulled out a photo from the side.
The photo showed a jade bracelet that looked sowhat old.
"This... was left to by my mom. She said it’d be passed on to my wife in the future."
"Mm. Now I want it."
Gao Teng: "..."
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to part with it, but it was, after all, sothing his mother had left behind.
He took a slight deep breath. "Then could I trouble you, Miss Chuzheng, to take ho once? I’ll get it for you."
-
After handing it over to Chuzheng, Gao Teng got a call from his two buddies to go out for dinner, so he hitched another ride in her car.
Since it was on her way, Chuzheng didn’t turn him down.
"Would you like to join us, Miss Chuzheng?"
"No. My little one is still waiting for at ho."
Little one... that delicate-looking teenager?
"Then I’ll go first. When I have ti, I’ll treat you and your boyfriend to a al."
Chuzheng didn’t say yes or no. Only after he got out did she mutter, "It’s not like you can find anyway."
Gao Teng got out and headed straight for the arranged place.
His two buddies were already there; when they saw him, they imdiately waved.
"Teng-ge."
"Yo, Teng-ge, you haven’t been around for a while—you’re looking more sharp than ever!"
"Get lost."
Gao Teng was pretty busy now. He didn’t get to see them much, just t up once in a while.
After the three of them had been drinking for a bit, Gao Teng dropped a bomb.
"I ran into He Yuanyuan."
