Chapter 1231: Awakening 11
"I see... I thought that even though Brother Cheng, you like Tian Tian, you might have a little bit of liking for me. So every time you visited my father in the hospital, it wasn’t because of me, but because of... Tian Tian?"
Watching Cheng Junnan nod, Gu Yunyun’s face turned pale, and she even staggered backward two steps.
Cheng Junnan’s expression didn’t change in the slightest; usually compassionate, in this moment, he was cold and decisive.
Gu Yunyun opened her mouth but didn’t say a word.
Cheng Junnan also remained silent, lowering his eyes, glancing at Gu Yunyun’s untouched coffee on his desk.
Gu Yunyun endured a tremendous blow, being confronted directly by Cheng Junnan like this, feeling both embarrassed and awkward to the extreme. Yet, considering how far she’d come, having invested so much effort, with success perhaps just around the corner, she was unwilling to give up.
She laughed bitterly and despondently, her gaze landing on that cup of coffee, tears already glistening in her flirtatious eyes.
"Because you don’t like me, you won’t even taste the coffee I made? If Tian Tian had made it for you, I’m sure you’d have taken it immediately and savored it slowly, wouldn’t you?"
"Even if she doesn’t know how to make coffee!"
Looking at the forlorn and desolate Gu Yunyun, Cheng Junnan nodded lightly.
"If she doesn’t know how to make it, I will teach her, but only if she’s interested in learning to make coffee!"
Gu Yunyun: "..."
Her flirtatious eyes were once again wounded by Cheng Junnan’s undisguised favor for Mu Tiantian, her heart feeling as if it had been stabbed countless times, already battered beyond repair.
Yet Gu Yunyun found that the more this happened, the calmer she became.
The hysterical emotions she had felt upon learning that Cheng Junnan liked Mu Tiantian vanished without a trace.
With a gentle smile, Gu Yunyun’s face showed self-mockery, as if murmuring to herself.
"Yes, you don’t like me at all. It’s just my unrequited love, pursuing you endlessly. I joined Haitian Entertainment just to be closer to you, ever closer!"
"That way, I could hope to see you every day, even just a distant glance would fill my heart with sweetness and happiness."
"Ha... isn’t it ridiculous? I also find it ridiculous, so unlike the old me, so unlike."
Seeing Gu Yunyun’s somewhat detached expression, Cheng Junnan frowned, wanting to speak, but Gu Yunyun didn’t give him a chance, as if completely ignoring him, murmuring about her admiration and fondness for him over the years.
Gu Yunyun’s straightforward and blatant confession made Cheng Junnan furrow his brow tighter and tighter. Though he had encountered women loudly declaring their affection for him and various advances, none of them murmured endlessly in front of him like Gu Yunyun.
Cheng Junnan grew increasingly annoyed, picking up the coffee in front of him and taking a sip.
The bitter taste slowly spread from the tip of his tongue, like a drop of dark ink dispersing on a sheet of rice paper, gradually permeating his entire palate.
This bitter taste was extremely similar to the feeling he had when he learned of Mu Tiantian and Bai Chenyao’s marriage registration, an overwhelming sourness, as if he’d fallen into a vat of lemon juice, making his teeth ache, his stomach twist, and his very bones ache.
