Chapter 486: So Melodramatic (2)

Why did this man suddenly come over? Did he come to find Zhao Youlin or did he come for something? Could it be that he had found something? How would he react if he found out that she was pregnant?

Would he recognize her as the woman from that night? Or would he think that the child in her belly was someone else’s? If he did recognize her, would he want to keep the baby? How would he treat her and the baby?

One after another, questions kept popping up in Su He’s mind, causing Su He to reflexively want to flee.

The good thing was that Su He could still think rationally. She knew that if she just turned around and ran away without saying anything at this moment, it would make it even more suspicious.

She forced herself to calm down and maintain the calm on her face. She took the initiative to ask, “President Ye, are you here to see the general manager? Sorry, she is meeting with a guest right now, so she can’t see you. Why don’t you come back later?”

Su He’s question successfully saved Xia Zhetao from the tension. Ye Yan’s attention immediately turned back from his ‘imagined love rival’ Xia Zhetao to Su He.

“You misunderstood, Ms. Su. I am not here to see Ms. Zhao, I am here to see you.” Ye Yan looked profoundly at Su He as he said that. Then, he continued in a deep voice, “I have something I need to ask you, Ms. Su. I was wondering if it is possible for us to talk alone?”

When Su He heard that Ye Yan had actually come all the way over to see her, her fingertips that were hidden under the lunchbox trembled slightly for a few seconds. She forcibly suppressed her urge to run away and nodded in a reluctant manner. “We can talk in the lounge.”

After saying that, Su He directly walked past Ye Yan and went outside, not daring to meet Ye Yan’s eyes.

Ye Yan hurriedly went after her. However, before he turned around, he swept a meaningful glance at Xia Zhetao who was left behind.

This glance was enough to frighten Xia Zhetao so much that he moved a few inches to the other side of his chair. As a result, he almost fell off his chair.

Xia Zhetao was speechless. Why did he feel like he had been targeted despite not doing anything? He did not remember doing anything that might have offended President Ye!

Mighty Secretary Xia once again became the cannon fodder and was left behind again, leaving him in puzzlement.

Su He led Ye Yan into a separate lounge when they could be alone. She kept her back to him, being careful not to let Ye Yan see her stomach.

“President Ye, if you have anything to say, please say it now. I haven’t finished my lunch and I have work to do later.”

The underlying meaning was, I am very busy, if you have anything to say, please finish it quickly, do not waste my time.

Ye Yan frowned. He had a feeling that Su He’s attitude toward him had become much colder than before.

“Ms. Su, we have met before, haven’t we?” Ye Yan did not intend to beat around the bush either, so he got straight to the point and asked directly.

Ye Yan’s original intention was to bring up the birthday banquet of the second young lady of the Su family from over ten years ago, as mentioned by Mu Tingfeng. Though when Su He heard that, she thought he was trying to bring up the day when Ye Yan was drunk, and did… something with her.

Ye Yan already knew that the woman he was with that night was her? She had clearly cleaned up all the traces that day, how could he still find out?

Su He’s face became incredibly pale. She reflexively took two a few steps back. She forced a smile and said, “No… No. We have never met before. Never!”

Ye Yan was shocked by Su He’s sudden loud voice. He looked suspiciously at Su He and added in a deep voice, “Ms. Su, President Mu has told me about your identity. He also told me personally that we had met more than ten years ago.”

“More than ten years ago? You were talking about more than ten years ago?” Su He was stunned. She forgot to conceal her real emotion. She looked up at Ye Yan instantly with a face full of surprise.

The inquiry in Ye Yan’s eyes intensified, and he continued to ask, “Of course, what else did you think I was talking about, Ms. Su? Or, apart from that, have we ever met at other…”

“We haven’t!” Su He quickly interrupted Ye Yan. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She met Ye Yan’s gaze and smiled mockingly, “Whether we have met before, don’t you know it yourself? Yet you actually need someone else to confirm it for you.”

Su He pretended to be mean, but the pain of the heartbreak in her eyes could not be concealed.

Ye Yan naturally saw that too. He felt like his heart had been hit by something. He felt a little pain. It took him a long time to finally find his voice and say, “I… I don’t remember.”

“You don’t remember?” After she returned to the country, when she saw that Ye Yan was doing everything he could to court Zhao Youlin, Su He had already speculated that this man had already forgotten her. Though speculating it herself and listening to him admitting it he had forgotten her were two different matters.

Su He only felt that the blueprint, which she had constructed alone for more than ten years, collapsed once again.

The wall that she had tried hard to build to protect herself was finally cracked at this moment.

Su He stared at the person in front of him with red eyes. She just stared at him without saying anything.

However, Ye Yan still could not help but feel panic when he saw the despair and disappointment that reflected in her teary eyes. “I… No, I… I can explain. I didn’t forget you on purpose.”

“There is nothing to explain. Since you have forgotten me, just let it be then. There is no point in talking about this… now.” Su He forced herself to swallow back the tears in his eyes. She coldly glanced at Ye Yan. Then, she turned around and tried to leave.

Ye Yan felt even more panic now. He had a feeling that if he let her go now, he might lose something that was very important to him.

“Wait.” Ye Yan gripped Su He’s wrist. The familiar feeling made him lose concentration for a moment.

The sudden physical contact also startled Su He. After she collected herself, her expression changed. She rebuked in a low voice, “President Ye, what do you think you are doing? Let go of me!”

Su He’s bellow timely interrupted Ye Yan, who was trying to remember something. Ye Yan panicked and tightened the force on his hand so that Su He could not pull her hand back.

“I am not letting go. Ms. Su, don’t you think it is too arbitrary for you to leave like this? I admit that it is my fault that I have forgotten you, but I can explain about this. I did not mean to forget you, I…”

Su He struggled for some time and still could not free her hand from Ye Yan’s grip. She did not dare to use too much force because of the baby in her belly, so she raised her head in anger and interrupted Ye Yan, “President Ye, you do not need to waste so much time explaining it to me. I am not interested. For certain things, it is not the process that is important, it is the result.”

She only knew that after waiting for him for over ten years, all she got in return was he forgot. And that was enough for her.

Ye Yan was choked by Su He’s unreasonable argument. She looked down at Su He’s stubborn eyes. His eyes unconsciously narrowed.

In the next second, he reached out one hand and held Su He’s head. He leaned over and kissed the lips that were slightly opened so that she could no longer say any hurtful words to sever ties with him.
