When Yao Yao woke up, she noticed that she was in a pitch-black room. She lifted the blanket and stepped barefoot off the bed, only to find a furry carpet on the ground.
Yao Yao immediately knew that this was Yu Jia’s home.
She pulled the curtains open. The entire S City was brightly lit under the night sky, and the lights were reflected on the glass.
Yao Yao stood in front of the French window, not knowing how to react.
The memories of the days and nights that they spent together were still clearly etched in her mind. Yao Yao could see how well Huo Konghe treated her, and how much he loved her.
She didn’t believe that Huo Konghe was the kind of person who wanted to draw the line with her after making use of her.
Even if he didn’t say anything, Yao Yao was still willing to believe him.
But why… didn’t he say anything?

Yao Yao opened her mouth and spat out all the food. Qi Qi then brought her some water so that she could rinse her mouth.
Yao Yao finally raised her head. Her hair was scattered messily on her shoulders, and there were still some strands of hair stuck to her cheeks. Her lips, which were usually cherry-red, were now extremely pale, and her eyes were as red as a rabbit.
“He wanted me to eat well…” Yao Yao’s voice was faint yet gentle.
Yao Yao locked herself at home for two whole days, and she had many messages and calls. On the second night, she went to the gym and signed up for an annual membership. She was perspiring profusely on the treadmill, making it seem as though this could evaporate the moisture in her tears.
Huo Konghe sent her a few messages to tell her that he had arrived safely, but Yao Yao didn’t reply. She didn’t know how she should reply to his messages. Seeing that she didn’t reply for a long time, Huo Konghe sent one final message, “Thank you”.
Yao Yao stared at those two words for a long time.
On the third day, she returned to work as usual, but her aura was terrifying. Her gaze was like a sharp knife. Everyone spoke to her carefully, afraid that they would step on a minefield.
“President Yao, this is the Human Resources Department…” Yao Yao suddenly looked up at the young assistant in front of her. The assistant shut her mouth and didn’t say anything.
Yao Yao reached out and pinched the bridge of her nose, as she asked tiredly.
“Am I that scary? Even you seem afraid of me.”
The assistant in front of her had been with her for many years. Yao Yao had always treated her very well and the two of them also had interactions outside of work.
The assistant felt that any reply she made would be wrong, so she could only ask weakly in the end.
“President Yao, have you… been well recently?”
“No, I haven’t been well.” Yao Yao supported her temples with her slender fingers, and her joints were white.
“Then why don’t you spread out your upcoming schedule? You’re probably just too busy recently,” the assistant suggested.
Yao Yao shook her head, and asked another question as she thought of something else.
“What did Assistant Li on the American side say?”
“He said that everything was fine.”
Yao Yao took a deep breath and looked up at the assistant in front of her with a bitter smile.
“What have people in the company been saying?”
The assistant hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, “They said that you’ve fallen out of love…”
Yao Yao laughed self-deprecatingly. What she had wasn’t even love.
Yao Yao waved her hand. How could she let others see what a joke she had been? “Pack my schedule even tighter, and regardless of what meeting it is, I’ll be there.”
“President Yao…” The assistant wanted to stop her, but Yao Yao said in a tone that showed that this matter was not up for discussion.
“You may leave.”
The assistant still nodded respectfully and replied, “Alright, President Yao.”
The more others said that she wasn’t doing well, the more Yao Yao insisted on making an appearance. Once those people saw that she was truly fine, the rumours would then be dispelled.
However, when she returned home in the early morning and saw the silent and dark house, her heart would still hurt like it was stabbed by a knife. It hurt, yet she didn’t know why it was hurting.
