Chapter 2008: Chapter 2010: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 11
Xu Qingrongâs eyes suddenly reddened, and she shook her head furiously, covering her mouth, "Stop, donât say any more."
But Fu Yi didnât stop. "I thought you understood, so I never brought it up with you. Now I realize youâve grown up, and there are things I should make clear to you, so you donât misunderstand. Thereâs no possibility of us developing any further."
"Why do you have to speak so definitively?" Xu Qingrongâs tears suddenly fell, unable to wipe them clean. She was utterly heartbroken, wiping her tears and questioning, "Youâve never told me these things before, why suddenly now? Is it because of Doctor Jiang? Do you really know her? Was she your ex-girlfriend? Do you still have feelings for her?"
She was just about to say she didnât care and could wait.
Then she heard the manâs low voice after a moment of silence, "Itâs because of her."
"Fu Yi, you broke up, which means youâre not suitable. I can wait for you to gradually come out of your past relationship..."
Fu Yi interrupted her, "You didnât understand what I was saying to you. Iâve always only seen you as a sister from a family friend, without any other thoughts. Before, I never thought youâd misunderstand, so I didnât mention these things. Now I find it necessary to make it clear to you; I donât want you to misunderstand or harbor expectations about me, those things arenât realistic, nor possible."
Xu Qingrong was heartbroken, crying intermittently.
But Fu Yi didnât hand her a tissue, didnât comfort her, and didnât even take a step closer, maintaining an absolute distance from her throughout.
"Whatever relationship I have with Jiang Nuan, whether we were together before, these are my personal privacy. I donât need to explain to you, nor to any third person."
For him to care so much about Jiang Nuan when sheâs not even present shows how protective he is of her.
Just now, if Xu Qingrong was only sad, this moment truly marked the start of her despair.
"Fu Yi, you like her so much, yet she clearly... doesnât feel that way about you. Just now, she told me you were inside. She should be able to see that I like you, and she even told me you were here, so itâs clear she doesnât like you."
The few words âshe doesnât like youâ made Fu Yi feel a weight pressing down on his chestâa stone crushing his heart until he couldnât breathe.
The clingy girl in his memory had changed in the five years he hadnât seen her, transforming into the mature and restrained Doctor Jiang. She seemed to have truly changed without him realizing it.
He didnât like this change!
But he was protective and wouldnât tolerate anyone speaking ill of Jiang Nuan. "Whether she likes me or not is my business. Itâs enough that I like her!"
Xu Qingrong stared at him in disbelief.
Fu Yi didnât care about her expression, or rather, he wasnât at all paying attention to the person in front of him. He had never taken her into his heart, so naturally, he didnât take her into his eyes.
"During the time she stays in the country, sheâll be doing training at your provincial hospital. Youâre a doctor there, so I hope you donât let personal emotions give her any trouble at work."
Xu Qingrong felt genuinely distressed, looking at him with a face full of grievance, "Just because I said I donât like her, youâre worried Iâll make things difficult for her?"
Do you really like that woman so much?
Fu Yi turned away, unwilling to even give her the courtesy of eye contact, "The Xu family and the Fu family are family friends. I donât want things to end on a sour note. Youâre an adult now; think about what you should or shouldnât do!"
After saying this, he left her behind, crying and laughing, without looking back.
