Chapter 1258: Confession Unheard

Mu Anhan stared at him with disappointment: "Xiao Zhan, you really leave me speechless."

Actually, it was a very simple matter.

Yet he chose to believe the tricks of this woman Lu Lu.

He could have called the police when Aix fainted.

If not the police, he could have just called out to Lie Huo, and Lie Huo would have handled it.

Lu Lu faked illness so many times, every time he would fall for it.

Lie Huo was always with him, so all the things he couldn’t handle personally, Lie Huo could take care of.

Even though nothing substantial developed between him and Lu Lu, Mu Anhan still felt uneasy.

What kind of feeling was it? Like there’s a fly buzzing over the most delicious dish.

Even if she really loved such a delicious dish, she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.

She turned to leave, and Gu Xiaozhan ran up to chase after her.

"Han Han..."

"You go back! I want to walk alone."

She didn’t turn back, continuing to walk forward.

Gu Xiaozhan watched her departing figure, lost in thought.

Lie Huo drove up in a car, "Mr. Gu, where is Madam?"

"She said she needs some time to cool off." Gu Xiaozhan got into the car.

Lie Huo hesitated but couldn’t help saying while starting the car, "Mr. Gu, you weren’t like this before. You only had Madam as your center, no other woman could get close to you. You shouldn’t be so close to Lu Lu!"

Gu Xiaozhan looked out the window, "Contact Mu Anye and have him prepare the operating room."

"Yes!" Lie Huo responded immediately.

...

Mu Anhan walked while wiping her tears.

She didn’t know how long she could hold on, she knew she had to tolerate some of his flaws, but in a lover’s eyes, they can’t tolerate even a grain of sand.

She didn’t know how long she walked before squatting down to cry.

The late-night streets were sparsely populated.

Even the passing vehicles were few.

Pei Zhe followed behind her the whole time, not disturbing her, just wanting to accompany her for a while.

He sat beside her, feeling the chill in the night wind, and draped his suit jacket over her shoulders.

Mu Anhan turned to look at him and smiled bitterly, "Do you know? Gu Xiaozhan’s possessiveness is so strong, he would go mad with jealousy over others’ ordinary concern for me, let alone a jacket on my shoulders."

"How others see Gu Xiaozhan doesn’t matter. What matters is how you see him," Pei Zhe comforted her, without taking the opportunity to badmouth Gu Xiaozhan.

He was merely looking at things from her perspective, knowing how much she loved Gu Xiaozhan. If he negated Gu Xiaozhan, wouldn’t it mean negating the love she’d given over the years?

Mu Anhan nodded, "I understand the reasoning, I’m just very sad..."

Pei Zhe watched her with tears streaming down her face, gently pulling her into his embrace, "I know. If you’re really heartbroken, then just have a good cry."

They had known each other for so many years and missed the chance to be each other’s lovers in their youth, hoping now they could be the most genuine of friends as adults.

Mu Anhan didn’t know how long she cried, but a sense of intoxication overcame her.

Pei Zhe kept her company, saying many things, and as he looked down at her, he said, "Do you want to give me a try..."

He also wanted to give himself a chance, a chance to take care of her. But as he reached this point, he realized she had fallen asleep.

He sighed. He missed his chance to confess when they were young.

And growing up, when he finally mustered the courage to confess, the person he wanted to confess to didn’t hear his feelings at all.
