Chapter 1315: You Guys Are Making Me Sad Like This

After she burst out these words in rage, Zheng Yan picked up her cup of coffee and gulped down two large mouthfuls of it.
Her blunt movements, which were partly to vent her anger, deviated greatly from the prim and proper image a daughter of a rich family should have.
The way she spoke was also very domineering.
Although she was just complaining, for some inexplicable reason, it made her appear somewhat adorable and possess a valuable candidness.
She was actually extraordinary, but she herself did not realize that.
Any man who interacted with her and put away their biases from her looks would easily be able to realize that she not only had beautiful looks but also an interesting soul.
Fan Yu’s gaze flickered slightly, a faint smile forming on his face.
The gentle grin on his face did not mean he was taking her lightly but was one of admiration towards her.
Looking at Zheng Yan’s furious gaze, he slowly placed his cup of coffee down and fixed his gaze on her, pausing with each word he spoke.
“From what I think, you’re very decent.”
“…”
“You actually have no need to care about what those people think. Since they can’t discover your beauty, that just means that they are not fated to be with you. Since they’re not fated to be with you, why care about what they think? Just be yourself. You’re not only beautiful but kind. Liuliu is lucky to have a friend like you.”
Fan Yu paused for a moment, his slender fingers brus.h.i.+ng past the edge of his coffee cup as he added,
“It’s my honor to be able to know you.”
“You’re the second man I know to say this.” Upon hearing his words, there was a split second where there was a stir of emotions in Zheng Yan’s eyes. Thereafter, she became sullen as she leaned on the table and used her fork to pick up a snack from the plate.
It seemed that because of his words, she had thought of something sad and had even lost her appet.i.te.
Fan Yu was stunned for a moment. “Have I said something wrong? Just now, you said that I was the second person to have said that to you. So, the first one was…”
“Young Master Han!”
Zheng Yan straightened her body and placed the fork in her hand down.
“The first time I met Young Master Han because of work, he was very cold towards me. Back then, I didn’t know that he was cold to everyone and thought that he was biased against me because of those rumors outside. So, I got mad with him and was almost thrown out of the window by him.”
“…”
Zheng Yan propped both her hands on her cheeks and added, “Later on, he consoled me as you did earlier. I was just a little depressed. Why is it that those men who can discover my inner beauty all like Xiao Mumu? You guys are making me sad like this…”
Back then, it was also because of those words Yu Yuehan said that made her develop feelings towards him.
However, her attraction towards him carried a little impulse of a young and reckless teenager.
After a few years had pa.s.sed, hearing Fan Yu say the same words again, she could no longer feel the same palpitations in her heart.
She merely felt the same sense of regret and ruefulness.
Fan Yu was a good man. His story made her feel touched and her heart ached for him, but for some reason, she was not attracted to him.
Perhaps it was because she already knew that his heart only had Nian Xiaomu.
Or maybe it was because his gentleness, elegance, and composure made everyone before him feel ashamed of themselves unknowingly.
She somehow could not imagine what kind of woman could be more suitable than Nian Xiaomu to be by his side…
Regardless, Zheng Yan felt that it could not be her.
Pure admiration was fine, but for someone with a short temper like her to face a man like Fan Yu every day and pretend to be a virtuous lady, she would definitely be overwhelmed with stress.
She would be on the verge of exploding every second of the day…
