Chapter 299: Chapter 299: No One Cares Anyway Chapter 299: Chapter 299: No One Cares Anyway Yi Die smugly put away her phone, “Now do you believe? Mr. Ye said that there’s only one woman by his side now, and that’s me. Other women, including you, are just boring to him. So, hurry up and leave! Coming here was just humiliating yourself.”

After that, she turned and left.

She seemed certain Tang Yu wouldn’t enter the office again.

What would she gain even if she did? Wasn’t she just there to find out Mr. Ye’s attitude toward her?

A photo of a belt thrown into a trash can was proof enough of everything.

Yi Die hid in a corner, watching Tang Yu leave, a self-satisfied smile playing on her lips.

Tang Yu walked out of KING Group, physically and mentally exhausted. The blows she had received made even her steps unsteady, as if she might collapse at any moment.

The gift she had given Ye Sihan was tossed away like trash. Yi Die’s ‘I’m Mr. Ye’s favorite woman’ attitude caused her heart to ache.

Tears involuntarily swirled in her eyes.

Why had Ye Sihan changed so quickly? It was as if the happiness they shared in the Maldives was just a firework sparkling in the sky, gone in the blink of an eye.

That night, Tang Yu slept alone in her rented room, her feet icy cold within the bedding, warmth long absent.

Her mind, even more so, longed for Ye Sihan.

In the deep of night, it hurt like poison burrowing into her bones, causing her to sob quietly.

They had been so happy together, were all those just an ‘act for the occasion’?

And those moments of excitement when Ye Sihan took the opportunity to kiss her, were they also fake?

Tang Yu thought of the photo he had snapped, the one Ye Sihan had promised to print several copies of for her, but had yet to deliver.

Could she still ask him for it?

Tang Yu didn’t want to wait another moment, and it seemed she finally had a reason to seek out Ye Sihan.

She called him directly.

But no one answered.

Asleep?

Looking at the time, it was indeed late. Perhaps he was asleep.

She started typing a text message: Have the photos been developed yet? When are you free? I’ll come and get them. Please reply when you see this message, thank you.

After sending it, Tang Yu waited, falling asleep without ever getting a response.

The next day, as soon as she woke up, she immediately checked her phone for any missed calls or messages. There were none.

Ye Sihan’s unpredictable moods left her feeling utterly disillusioned…

In the morning, Tang Yu stood on the balcony, the window open, as snow began to fall outside again.

Her phone still held the happy moments of the snowy day saved inside.

She had thought that even if Ye Sihan wouldn’t marry her, he still wouldn’t be too harsh on her, right?

But what was the result? Reality had caught her off guard…

The cold wind blew through, and Tang Yu shrank her neck and went back into the room.

The room was warm with the air conditioner on, and she didn’t feel cold even in her thin clothes.

Going into the bathroom, she looked in the mirror.

When she had gone out, she was wearing a high collar. Now, her neck was exposed.

She could see the necklace Ye Sihan had given her as a Christmas gift, so beautiful one couldn’t look away; she could also see the marks left by the belt Ye Sihan had used to strangle her.

Because they were so deep, the marks were still very visible.

The necklace and the strangle marks, ‘complementing’ each other. Only it was filled with sadness and irony…

Tang Yu’s heart ached and spasmed, as if countless needles were pricking into it…

The phone on the coffee table lay silent as if broken. Tang Yu sent another message to Ye Sihan: I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance of KING Group at three o’clock in the afternoon. If you don’t show up, I won’t leave.

True to her word, she appeared on time at three o’clock at the entrance of KING Group, watching the coming and going cars.

She was dressed warmly enough, but with the snow falling from the sky, she still felt a chill.

However, she did not back down and kept waiting there.

Four o’clock, five o’clock, Ye Sihan’s figure was still nowhere to be seen.

At three o’clock, when she had been standing there, she had already sent Ye Sihan a message, telling him she had arrived.

She didn’t believe he hadn’t seen the message.

Was he testing her?

By five o’clock in winter, it was already getting dark, and all the street lamps were lit.

At six o’clock, the sky was completely dark.

Watching the passing vehicles became more laborious.

Tang Yu’s heart and body were alike, the longer she waited, the colder she became, shivering.

Even her eyes reddened.

She had no choice but to keep waiting, so she couldn’t just stand in one place, or she would freeze solid.

So she moved back and forth within a small range, stamping her feet.

Her feet had already lost much sensation.

When exactly would Ye Sihan come to see her?

The highest authority’s floor was brightly lit.

The light in Ye Sihan’s office was still on, so not a single person from the secretarial department dared leave.

Xiao Yu, holding a document, knocked on the office door and entered.

He respectfully handed over the document, “Mr. Ye, please review this.”

Ye Sihan took the document, flipped it open, and glanced over it, “Is she still there?”

“Yes.” Xiao Yu looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The glass reflected the intertwining images of the outside night view and the office interior, “It’s still snowing, and it’s already a few centimeters thick. Should we have her come look for you?”

Ye Sihan cast a cold glance at him, the sense of oppression seeping through.

Xiao Yu tensed his facial muscles, lowered his head, and said no more.

Although he didn’t know what happened between the two of them again, it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Weird, they had just taken the child to the Maldives together before!

Tang Yu kept stamping her feet, but they just wouldn’t warm up.

How could they warm up? She was standing on snow.

“Achoo!” Tang Yu sneezed.

She felt her entire respiratory tract was icy cold, and there was a pain in her upper airways.

A car stopped next to her, and mid-swallow, Tang Yu was startled. She thought it was Ye Sihan, he had finally come!

However, when she saw who got out of the car, the anticipation on her face turned to disappointment.

Xiao Yu walked up to her, “Stop waiting, Mr. Ye has already left.”

There was an unmistakable sense of dejection in Tang Yu’s eyes, “When did he leave?”

“Half an hour ago.”

Tang Yu thought, could it be that she hadn’t noticed because she was stamping her feet?

But even if she hadn’t noticed, could it be that Ye Sihan hadn’t seen her?

He had seen her, he just chose to ignore her…

“Go back, don’t catch a cold. It won’t be good if you fall sick.”

Tang Yu looked forlornly into the distance, “What does falling sick matter? No one would care anyway… He knew I’ve been standing here for so long, yet he didn’t come to see me, why?”

She had no one else to ask, so she could only question Xiao Yu.

As an executive assistant, Xiao Yu should at least know something about Ye Sihan’s mood, right?

But Xiao Yu had a troubled look on his face as well.

Tang Yu’s eyes heated up, and without asking further, she chose to lower her head and walk past Xiao Yu.

“I’ll drive you.”

“No need.”

Xiao Yu watched Tang Yu as she walked ahead, holding an umbrella with a layer of white snow on it. Her steps seemed stiff, and he could only sigh with helplessness.

He couldn’t help her with this matter.

That very evening, Tang Yu developed a fever, with pain swallowing even saliva.

Using a thermometer, she measured a temperature of 38°C.

Without any fever medicine, she took some cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, then went back to bed.

She wrapped herself tightly with the blanket, but even so, she continued to tremble.

Tang Yu had thought that the pain of being ignored would be less when she was sick.

But it only made her feel more fragile.

The colder it got, the more her mind wandered to Ye Sihan.

The heart that she had warmed up in Ye Sihan’s presence was swiftly thrown into icy water the moment she turned her head, freezing until it almost cracked.

Up to now, Tang Yu couldn’t accept the harshness that Ye Sihan had shown her…
