Wei Yumeng’s computer screen was flooded with topics about Chen Yutong the moment she opened it.
“You guys won’t believe it, I actually saw Chen Yutong today. She’s been waiting by the entrance of that company next door for days. I remember the boss of that company is Zhan Yangyi.”
“I used to think their divorce was fake, but now it looks like Mr. Zhan is the one who dumped Chen Yutong.”
“She’s so pitiful. To think she’d go this far for that man. Is Zhan Yangyi truly heartless?”
Wei Yumeng felt a sense of helplessness as she read these reports.
If only Chen Yutong had realized her true feelings earlier, perhaps none of this would have become so irretrievably bad.
She had just closed her laptop when she saw Zhan Yangyi entering the house.
She immediately went up to him and asked, “Mo Han, have you contacted Big Brother?”
Zhan Mohan nodded, “Yes, I’ve already spoken with him.”
“Then… how did it go?” Wei Yumeng hesitated, but still asked.
Zhan Mohan shook his head, “Big Brother is very determined this time. He’s not listening to anyone.”
At this point, Zhan Mohan truly felt at a loss. He and Zhan Yichen had gone to find Zhan Yangyi, but even two people as formidable as them couldn't change Zhan Yangyi’s decision.
Wei Yumeng felt a pang of sadness. All they could do now was hope that Chen Yutong could truly move Zhan Yangyi.
Through the company window, Zhan Yangyi looked down at the small figure waiting for him downstairs. She had been there for several days.
He wasn’t truly heartless. He knew Chen Yutong had waited for him outside a bar for three days.
He could have easily avoided that bar, but in the end, he couldn’t help but see her one last time, even if it ended the way it did.
“Mr. Zhan, Madam has been waiting downstairs for a long time,” Zhan Yangyi’s assistant, Ren Zhao, felt a twinge of pity.
While he wasn't privy to every detail, he knew how loving Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong had been.
Zhan Yangyi merely grunted, showing no intention of going down to see Chen Yutong.
Ren Zhao sighed. When Zhan Yangyi wasn’t busy, he would stand by the window, watching Chen Yutong downstairs.
He truly couldn’t understand. Zhan Yangyi clearly cared about Chen Yutong, so why were they in such a state?
“Mr. Zhan, it’s starting to rain outside,” Ren Zhao reminded him again.
This time, Zhan Yangyi frowned, finally reacting.
“Go give her an umbrella and tell her I won’t see her. Tell her to go home.”
“Yes.” Ren Zhao could only comply.
Zhan Yangyi looked back out the window. It was indeed raining again, which made him worry.
Chen Yutong had already been drenched outside the bar before. She couldn’t get rained on again today.
Ren Zhao had arrived downstairs. When Chen Yutong saw him, her eyes were instantly filled with hope.
“Ren Zhao, why are you here? Is Yangyi willing to see me?”
Ren Zhao shook his head apologetically, “Madam, please go back. Mr. Zhan said he won’t see you.”
Chen Yutong shook her head stubbornly, “I won’t leave. As long as he refuses to see me, I will not move an inch.”
Seeing Chen Yutong like this, Ren Zhao was helpless. He simply handed her the umbrella and turned to leave.
Ren Zhao returned to the office, unable to hold back any longer. “Mr. Zhan, you still have feelings for Madam in your heart, don’t you? If that’s the case, why not clarify things?”
Zhan Yangyi gave him a cold look. “You don’t need to concern yourself with my affairs.”
“I just…” Ren Zhao felt heartbroken, but he genuinely didn’t know what had happened between the two. He could only shut his mouth and leave in a huff.
Zhan Yangyi continued to gaze out the window, his heart a mix of emotions. If he could, he certainly wouldn’t want their relationship to be this way.
But Chen Yutong’s heart was set on Zhan Mohan. Perhaps, in Chen Yutong’s mind, she had only become a replacement for Zhan Mohan because they were brothers and looked somewhat alike.
This kind of marriage was not what he wanted. If it continued like this, it would likely just be a waste of both their time.
Rather than keeping him as a husband, it would be better to let Chen Yutong be free and pursue the life she desired.
They remained in this stalemate until evening.
Zhan Yangyi had finished many tasks. He thought Chen Yutong would have left by now.
But when he looked out the window again, the familiar figure was still waiting there.
He couldn’t help but reach out and touch the window pane, at Chen Yutong’s position.
Zhan Yangyi could feel his resolve beginning to waver.
Although he had chosen this path himself, did he truly want to separate from Chen Yutong?
The answer was, of course, no.
If he could, he wished he could be by Chen Yutong’s side right now, holding her tightly.
Just then, Ren Zhao walked in from the door. “Mr. Zhan, Madam said she’s leaving…”
Before he could finish, Zhan Yangyi had already walked out of the office. By the time he realized it, he was already downstairs.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi with a dazed expression. She had thought Zhan Yangyi would never see her again.
“Yangyi…” Chen Yutong took a few steps towards Zhan Yangyi as she spoke.
Zhan Yangyi pretended not to see her, intending to leave, but Chen Yutong quickly blocked his path.
“Yangyi, please give me a few minutes. I just need to clarify things with you, okay?”
Zhan Yangyi’s expression was a little unnatural. Seeing Chen Yutong’s pleading face, how could his heart not be swayed? But now, he had to remain firm.
Seeing that Zhan Yangyi didn’t object and wasn’t trying to leave, Chen Yutong seized the opportunity.
“Yangyi, I know you’ve already figured out a lot, but I just want to tell you that I fell in love with you without even realizing it.”
Seeing Zhan Yangyi’s skeptical expression, Chen Yutong admitted with sincerity, “Yes, I admit I’ve said similar things before, but even then, I was already developing feelings for you. I just hadn’t noticed. I always thought I liked Zhan Mohan, and even did so many wrong things for him. But when you said you wanted a divorce and wanted to leave me that day, I truly realized that I can’t live without you anymore.”
She choked up, trying to move closer to Zhan Yangyi. “Yangyi, I was wrong. I was incredibly wrong. I didn’t even understand my own heart all this time. But even so, I still wish you could give me another chance. Can we start over?”
