Chapter 215 I have some things I want to tell you.
Sang Yu understood perfectly well. Although Huo Muchen wasn't mean to her, he didn't show much affection either. His indifference and aloofness were like an invisible wall, isolating her from his world.
Huo Muchen never took the initiative to send her messages or make phone calls, let alone offer any caring words or concern. Whenever she mustered up the courage to contact him, he would often disappear without a trace with his excuse of being "busy."
Sang Yu knew all this perfectly well, but she chose to deceive herself.
She told herself that as long as she was good enough and understanding enough, she could win Huo Muchen's heart. She tried hard to improve herself, to perfect herself, and to cater to his preferences. But what was the reality? Huo Muchen was never short of women, and she was just one of them.
Seeing Sang Yu's distraught appearance, Xu Xiaofan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes gleamed with triumph. She felt like a victorious warrior, standing high above, coldly looking down upon Sang Yu's dejection and despair.
Xu Xiaofan glanced at Sang Yu lightly, a glance filled with disdain and mockery. She seemed to see the fragility and helplessness in Sang Yu's heart, a feeling that made her even more certain of her victory. Then she turned around and left the store with light steps, as if every step she took was stepping on Sang Yu's self-esteem.
Behind Xu Xiaofan was Sang Yu's lonely figure. She stood there alone, and a faint sadness filled the air—the scent of Sang Yu's broken heart.
She silently endured it all, without crying or complaining, simply standing there quietly, letting the sorrow erode her heart.
After Huo Muchen finished the meeting and returned to his office, he saw Sang Yu sitting on the sofa as soon as he opened the door.
He paused for a moment, then asked in a calm tone:
"How did you come?"
For the past two months, they had almost no contact. Huo Muchen's calmness made Sang Yu feel a strange pang of sadness.
She had thought her feelings for Huo Muchen were one-sided, but now she realized that she still had hope and expectations for him.
Sang Yu stood up, walked towards Huo Muchen, and said softly:
"I have something I want to tell you."
Huo Muchen noticed her red eyes, clearly from crying. A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He gestured for Sang Yu to sit down, then sat down at his desk himself, waiting for her to continue.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Huo Muchen's tone remained calm, without much emotional fluctuation.
Sang Yu took a deep breath, met Huo Muchen's deep, night-sky-like eyes, and said, word by word:
“I like you, Mu Chen, I really like you. But I can’t feel your care and concern, which makes me feel very insecure. Every time I close my eyes, your image appears in my mind. No matter where I am or what I do, you occupy all my thoughts.”
Her voice trembled slightly, as if the emotions that had been building up inside her were suddenly bursting forth. She paused, as if waiting for Huo Muchen's reaction, but Huo Muchen simply gazed at her silently without saying a word.
"And you? Do you like me? How do you really feel about me?"
Sang Yu's voice trembled slightly. She didn't know if she should continue to ask, but the desire in her heart made her unable to stop.
