Uncle Zhang follows Yu Fei and tries to stop her several times. However, Yu Fei decides to find Ko Chen. No matter what Uncle Zhang says, it’s useless. She can’t listen at all. She goes all the way to the door of the master bedroom. Not long ago, it was the bedroom of her and Ko Chen. But now in retrospect, it seems that it has been centuries.

The door isn’t closed, and Yu Fei is about to raise her hand and knock. Suddenly, she hears the voice of someone talking in the room. So she stops and listens carefully.

Yu Fei stands in front of Uncle Zhang, unable to see his unbearable expression. Ko Chen is apathetic in nature and he was not close to people from childhood. Finally, Yu Fei came into his heart but they had so many twists and turns. As a bystander and elder, he is really worried. However, because of Ko’s behavior, he can’t stop him even if he wants to. What he can do is only to watch them two far away from each other.

“Chen…” A effeminate female voice comes out of the room, and the temperature in Yu Fei’s eyes falls to the freezing point in an instant. She won’t mistake this familiar voice, and it is Yu Yu. Yu Yu speaks with a little nasal sound. She should have just cried. When she talks, her habitual ending sound slightly rises, which sounds like she is playing the woman.

Yu Fei frowns: How could Yu Yu be here? This woman is really shameless! She was slapped by Ko Chen but still pesters Ko and even uses this disgusting tone.

Having taken a lot of effort to resist the impulse to rush in to slap Yu Yu, Yu Fei is so angry that her chest heaves up and down. She feels a dull pain in her lower abdomen and raises her hand and presses it, but she doesn’t pay attention. Her mind is all on the two people in the room.

A kind of low sob comes out, and it seems that Yu Yu cries again. Yu Fei is curious about how Ko Chen can bear her till now. As a result, the next second she hears an incredible sentence: “don’t cry, it’s not good-looking.” Although there is no temperature in the voice, this sentence is obviously a comforting one.

Yu Fei feels the blackness in front of her and she reaches out her hand to pinch her arm. The strong pain reminds her of this cruel fact: Ko Chen not only didn’t push Yu Yu away, but also comforted her! What is the situation? How can Chen change his attitude in such a short period of time, as if he had changed his personality! And his attitude completely subverts his previous cognition.

Yu Fei is bitterly disappointed. She suddenly feels it’s a big joke that she was determined to come here to ask for an explanation. Just about to turn around and leave, she hears Yu Yu ask a question again which she also wants to know.

“Chen, why do you treat me like that today?” Yu Yu says a broken sentence in a tone full of grievance while sobbing. Needless to see, Yu Fei can imagine Yu Yu’s expression at this time: Her eyes are full of tears, her lips are slightly shriveled, and her face looks extremely pitiable.

Stopping walking, Yu Fei looks back, half nervous and half expecting the answer from Ko Chen. She believes her own feelings and will never mistake the love and care in the man’s eyes.

Ko Chen doesn’t answer immediately, so Yu Yu pesters him and asks again. Finally he opens his mouth but what he says seems to be a sharp edge, deeply piercing Yu Fei’s heart. “If I didn’t pretend to be like that, how could I cheat that silly woman so that she could think that I still love her, so as to make her suffer a second heavy blow.”

Every word that Ko Chen says seems to be soaked with poison. Yu Fei takes a small step back uncontrollably. She is shaking and almost falls down. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang helps her in time. “Miss Yu, be careful!” What a strange name, Uncle Zhang’s unintentional words indirectly give Yu Fei a heavy blow again.

Her hands tremble violently and the uncontrollable tears drop on the floor. Although the voice is weak, every sound hits Yu Fei’s ears, as if it were not tears, but blood.

There is little movement outside the door, which does not attract the attention of the two people in the bedroom. Yu Yu continues to ask, “do you really not love my sister any more?” This time, Ko Chen doesn’t even think about it, and answers coldly and cruelly, “I never loved her.” Yu Fei feels her heart is broken. She comes here with hope, but what she didn’t expect to get is such a cold truth.

Uncle Zhang is standing beside Yu Fei, and certainly has heard the conversation between Ko Chen and Yu Yu. Although he knows in advance that Ko Chen would deliberately say cruel words, he doesn’t expect him to be so unkind, which is to completely write off their feelings of these three years.

Yu Yu finally gets a satisfactory answer so she stops asking. She bursts into tears and throws herself into Ko Chen’s arms. She is so excited that she does not notice that when she falls into his arms, Ko Chen’s body is stiff for a moment. And then he raises his hand and pats her back lightly.

The smell of the woman in his arms is not familiar to him. Ko Chen clearly knows that this is not Yu Fei and he also knows that Yu Fei is at the door now. Because of this, just now he would act that way so that Yu Fei would harbor no more illusions.

Yu Yu, who snickers in Ko Chen’s arms, doesn’t notice that the man’s eyes have been staring at the door. His eyes are full of worry. That he slaps her back again and again is just an unconscious action.

Yu Fei doesn’t want to stay in this place for a second any more. She touches the tears randomly. Without looking at Uncle Zhang, she leaves, saying goodbye to him in a hurry without turning back her head. Uncle Zhang worries about Yu Fei’s state and wants to send her away but he is refused. Having no way, Uncle Zhang can only let the bodyguard continue to protect her secretly. Now Yu Fei’s mood fluctuates so much that she is likely to have an accident.

After Yu Fei leaves, Uncle Zhang sighs helplessly, turns around and knocks on the bedroom door. This is the secret signal he has discussed with Ko Chen before. Once Yu Fei hears those “sincere words” and leaves, Uncle Zhang will knock on the door. Ko Chen lets go of Yu Yu, and she abruptly leaves his firm embrace.

Yu Yu is in a trance for a moment. She scolds in heart: which nuisance knocks on the door? He is really good at picking the time. If he comes later, maybe she can have a further relationship with Ko Chen.

Yu Yu thinks that Ko Chen’s attention is not on her, so she has no control over the expression on her face. However, her careful thoughts are all captured by Ko Chen, and his dislike for her suddenly deepens. Uncle Zhang pushes the door open and comes in, his eyes do not focus on Yu Yu for a second. He stares at Ko Chen and says, “Mr Ko, the matter has been solved.”

Uncle Zhang’s words are not clear, so Yu Yu feels strange when she hears them, but Ko Chen understands instantly. Yu Fei is not there and he has no mood to act again. His attitude towards Yu Yu suddenly becomes bad. “I’m tired. Go out.”
