The truth was, she was already happy enough to hear his confession just now .
However, she did not wish to hold out hope any longer .
She accepted that he would never love her back .
Let things end here .
Huo Chen watched her leave with his fists clenched tightly . He could barely hold himself together .
After a long pause, he relaxed his hands and smiled bitterly .
Despite everything he had said, Wen He’s resolve remains unshaken .
Perhaps there was really no chance between them anymore .
When Wen He was finally out of sight, Huo Chen looked away and made his way slowly back to the private room and sat down in a corner .
His tall and skinny figure slumped tiredly on the sofa .
His eyes were dim and lacked the confidence that was so characteristic of him .
Lu Zhaoyang frowned worriedly at the sight of her friend .
“Chen, are you really going to give up like that?”
“What else can I do?” Huo Chen asked without intonation . “You can force matters of the heart . ”
That had always been his principle, but he had acted against it time and again to keep Wen He by his side .
Nevertheless, despite everything he did, Wen He did not change her mind .
Lu Zhaoyang felt concerned and looked at Huo Yunting to seek his opinion .
“What would you do if it was you?”
Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow and replied frankly .
“I’ll force her to stay . ”
Lu Zhaoyang scowled at him . The man was hopeless .
She considered the matter for a while and then went to sit beside Huo Chen .
“The thing is, I can see that Wen He still loves you . As someone directly involved, you may not see it, but I am sure that everyone else will agree with me . ”
Huo Chen looked up abruptly at her .
She continued, “The problem is not on her end, but on yours . ”
“What?” Huo Chen tried to stay calm as he asked, “What do you mean?”
Huo Yunting crossed his legs and leaned back against the sofa . He added his own piece, “She loves you, but you do not love her back . That is the reason she is leaving . ”
“Yes . ” Lu Zhaoyang nodded in agreement .
Love?
Huo Chen’s eyes narrowed in confusion and distress .
“That is not something I can control . ”
He felt comfortable being around Wen He and enjoyed their time together .
Was that not enough?
Lu Zhaoyang gave him a few moments of silence to consider the matter, and then she interrupted with a revelation that shocked him deeply .
“Chen, you are already in love with Wen He, can’t you see?”
What?
I am in love with her?
“That’s impossible . ” Huo Chen stood up abruptly and said, “The one I love is…”
You .
Huo Yunting threw a side glance at him and huffed at the ridiculity of things .
Lu Zhaoyang threw Huo Chen a lifeline and explained, “That is only something you tell yourself, and it is preventing you from recognizing your own true feelings . ”
She did not know if she was on the mark, but the truth had to be something along those lines .
She did not want to see him and Wen He lose this opportunity .
“You may have decided deep inside that you will only ever reserve your heart for me, or you may think that you can never love anyone else but me . ”
Huo Yunting looked at him with an unreadable expression .
Huo Chen considered her words .
She was not wrong .
“That is where you are wrong . ”
Lu Zhaoyang had been there before, so she understood him better than anyone else .
“Despite surviving your injuries and waking up from your coma, you found that I had fallen in love with Huo Yunting . You should break free of your own psychological cage and search for your own answers . Ask yourself, do you really love me still? You been seeing me interacting with Huo Yunting, do you still feel jealous?”
