Perhaps she had realized it by then but had simply prevented herself from thinking too much into it.
As long as she didn’t think about it, she could pretend it never happened…
At the thought of this, Zuo Yiyi lowered her head, and a smudge of grief crossed her gaze.
Zhuang Nainai continued, “Zuo Yiyi, have you ever thought about it? That you’re not actually this cold and unfeeling, it’s just that your liking of him has made you become like him.”
Not cold and unfeeling?
Zuo Yiyi froze again. All of a sudden, she thought of how everyone had praised her for being cute and how her mother had always talked of how smiley, haughty, and active she had been as a child.
But now?
When had she learned to become cold like him — as if that was a way to bring her closer to him?
Stunned for a few moments, Zuo Yiyi suddenly realized how laughable she was.
She liked him to the extent of forgetting who she was, but what was the result of all this liking?
Zuo Yiyi’s eyes reddened, and without her being able to resist them any longer, her tears began to fall.
Watching Zuo Yiyi, Zhuang Nainai sighed and passed her some tissue.
Zuo Yiyi sat and cried in the office for a long time as if she was releasing all of her emotions. As she cried, she began scolding Zhuang Nainai.
“Do you know how outstanding the man you’re abandoning is? Do you know how much I like the man you don’t even want to take a second look at?”
“Zhuang Nainai, you’re not human! Brother Ting is so good, so why did you abandon him five years ago?”
Whimpering, she said, “I won’t allow you to divorce him! He treats you so well; how can you divorce him?”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
She was taken aback and had no idea what to say.
So, how was she going to try to make Zuo Yiyi understand?
Just as Zuo Yiyi was about to continue her scolding, Zhuang Nainai started speaking once more. “Okay, so let’s talk now. Five years ago, why did you tell me that Si Zhengting wanted to go overseas? At that point in time, he hadn’t even decided.”
Hearing this, Zuo Yiyi stopped crying. Sniffing a few times, she lifted her head and checked her watch for the time. With that, she stood up and said, “I suddenly recall that I have something on. I’ll get going first.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
So, was this a sign of her guilt?!
Zhuang Nainai had no idea what to say to her!
As Zuo Yiyi walked toward the door, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps. Turning around, she looked at Zhuang Nainai seriously and said, “Actually, I meant everything I said. Zhuang Nainai, I’ve always been jealous of you. How was it that Brother Ting treated you differently right from the beginning of our high school days?”
She paused, then added, “I finally understand now that you fell in love with him at first sight. And he… wasn’t it just love at first sight for him as well?”
Love at first sight?
These four words stunned Zhuang Nainai. Bulging her eyes open and staring at Zuo Yiyi, she said, “Zuo Yiyi, are you joking with me? During our high school days, everyone knew that I, Zhuang Nainai, had to shamelessly pursue him for two and a half years before he relented.”
Just as Zhuang Nainai finished speaking, Zuo Yiyi immediately retorted, “Are you that heartless? Did you not even have an inkling? Zhuang Nainai, I don’t know what to say to you. Do you have a pig’s brain or something?!”
