Liu Yingying stood frozen in place, staring at Ye Feng with a look of shock.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped, everything frozen in this single second.

The two of them just stood there, eyes locked.

Ye Feng never imagined he would run into Liu Yingying here.

The woman he once loved the most.

He had imagined many ways of meeting Liu Yingying again, but he never thought it would happen so suddenly and unexpectedly.

He was at a loss.

Liu Yingying felt the same, her heart already in turmoil.

She quietly observed the handsome man in front of her, his face chiseled, with straight, sword-like eyebrows, and a gentle aura between his brows that was incredibly comforting to look at.

This man, even if he turned to ashes, she could never mistake.

Seeing Ye Feng, Liu Yingying felt an endless joy rise in her heart, a warmth flowing through her.

Her feelings for Ye Feng were conflicted.

There was a strong love, but also endless hatred.

Love, because she could never let go of the happiness and joy he once brought her.

Hatred, because of Ye Feng's crime of raping a female subordinate.

Years ago, Ye Feng went to prison, one charge being the rape of a female subordinate, a trap set by Xiao Jun and a female subordinate from the company.

They framed Ye Feng, and during the trial, the female subordinate even testified, accusing Ye Feng of "beastly" behavior.

Liu Yingying had unwavering faith in the legal judgment.

Besides that, what Liu Yingying hated more was that over the years, Ye Feng had left Coco without a father.

Every time Coco cried out for her father, her heart twisted in pain as if cut by a knife.

This pain was something Ye Feng could never understand.

Countless nights, she would silently ask herself, if she saw Ye Feng again, would she truly be willing to forgive him?

She once hoped Ye Feng would appear, come back, give Coco a complete fatherly love, be a qualified father.

She would also let go of the past and forgive him for everything.

But now.

She saw a woman beside Ye Feng, tenderly wiping his cheek, and her heart was instantly filled with jealousy.

Women, no matter what kind, are more emotional than rational when it comes to feelings.

Even a businesswoman like Liu Yingying lost her usual calm judgment.

The joy and warmth that had risen in her heart were instantly extinguished, replaced by a cold indifference.

She didn't delve into why Ye Feng suddenly appeared, why he was out of prison.

She only knew that Ye Feng had betrayed their relationship years ago, and now he had someone new.

Liu Yingying couldn't help but doubt if such a Ye Feng could really be a qualified father.

No!

He wasn't fit to be Coco's father.

Liu Yingying clenched her teeth, and at that moment, her last hope for Ye Feng was extinguished.

Her heart silently bled with sadness, her eyes gradually reddening.

Equally stunned was Xuanxuan.

She never expected to meet Ye Feng here.

She was one of the people who knew Yingying best, and just by looking at Liu Yingying's expression, she knew this man in front of them.

He had to be the man from Yingying's past, Coco's father.

After a long while, Ye Feng finally spoke slowly, "Yingying, long time no see!"

There was no impulsive hug, no tears of excitement, no lamenting their missed relationship.

Just a simple greeting.

He appeared calm on the surface, but inside, his emotions were already like a raging storm, hard to control.

But after all, they hadn't seen each other for five years, even if their separation back then was abrupt.

But now, he didn't know how her life was, whether she was married with children.

These were the reasons Ye Feng didn't make any drastic moves, silently suppressing the emotional turmoil in his heart.

Liu Yingying heard this, tried to calm her emotions, stopped her eyes from reddening, her expression gradually turning cold, forcing a smile, "Yes, long time no see."

Her heart dead, she didn't have much to say, not knowing what to say for a moment.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"How have you been these years?"

"What else? Marriage, children, isn't that the normal trajectory of life?"

Liu Yingying deliberately spoke ambiguously.

Married?

Hearing this answer, Ye Feng's heart shook violently, then turned desolate.

At that moment, it was as if the world lost its color, and a regret that could never be remedied filled his heart.

The once burning heart turned to ashes, and the hope he had vanished.

Five years had passed in the blink of an eye.

How many five years does a person have?

Time is the most ruthless thing in the world; it can erase everything, even the most sincere feelings can't withstand the ravages of time.

How many women in the world would be willing to wait for a man for five years?

Especially one who was missing, imprisoned, with no hope.

After losing love and going through a period of suffering, a person's focus will always return to life.

Liu Yingying's actions were beyond reproach, and Ye Feng was momentarily speechless.

For this former lover, now a stranger, he had nothing to say, only blaming his own tumultuous life.

Ye Feng didn't know that the woman who once loved him deeply not only hadn't married.

But had also given birth to a beautiful daughter for him.

Xuanxuan was already stunned, unable to understand why Yingying would lie to him if he was Coco's father.

And every time Coco cried for her father, she was full of hope and eagerness.

She knew very well that although Yingying said she hated that man, she loved him more than anyone else.

Her true feelings for Ye Feng weren't hatred, but rather a need to vent her grievances.

At this moment, she noticed Su Weiwei beside Ye Feng and instantly understood why Yingying had this attitude.

Already harboring a grudge against Ye Feng's past crime, seeing him again with a woman beside him.

No woman could control herself.

How could Liu Yingying not feel heartbroken?

"Ye Feng, I should go!"

Liu Yingying pursed her lips and turned to the elevator.

Xuanxuan quickly followed.

"Yingying, can we talk?"

Ye Feng hurriedly tried to call Liu Yingying back, wanting to have a good chat, as there were things he wanted to discuss with her.

As soon as Ye Feng spoke, Liu Yingying quickened her pace, and in the blink of an eye, they were in the elevator.

She gave him no response, like a stranger passing by.

Ye Feng hurried to catch up, but the elevator doors closed just in time, blocking his way. He stood there, staring at the closed elevator doors, looking lost.

"Was she your ex-girlfriend?"

Although they only exchanged a few words.

Su Weiwei could see from their expressions that their past relationship was not ordinary.

Besides a romantic relationship, Su Weiwei couldn't understand why Ye Feng would be so desolate for anyone else.

Ye Feng nodded, not responding to Su Weiwei's question.

He felt something was off with Liu Yingying, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He couldn't let her just leave like that.

Ye Feng left Su Weiwei behind, turned, and rushed to the stairs, heading straight to the first floor, hoping to catch Liu Yingying.
