Chapter 2008: Chapter 2010: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 11

Xu Qingrong’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she shook her head furiously, covering her mouth, "Stop, don’t say any more."

But Fu Yi didn’t stop. "I thought you understood, so I never brought it up with you. Now I realize you’ve grown up, and there are things I should make clear to you, so you don’t misunderstand. There’s no possibility of us developing any further."

"Why do you have to speak so definitively?" Xu Qingrong’s tears suddenly fell, unable to wipe them clean. She was utterly heartbroken, wiping her tears and questioning, "You’ve never told me these things before, why suddenly now? Is it because of Doctor Jiang? Do you really know her? Was she your ex-girlfriend? Do you still have feelings for her?"

She was just about to say she didn’t care and could wait.

Then she heard the man’s low voice after a moment of silence, "It’s because of her."

"Fu Yi, you broke up, which means you’re not suitable. I can wait for you to gradually come out of your past relationship..."

Fu Yi interrupted her, "You didn’t understand what I was saying to you. I’ve always only seen you as a sister from a family friend, without any other thoughts. Before, I never thought you’d misunderstand, so I didn’t mention these things. Now I find it necessary to make it clear to you; I don’t want you to misunderstand or harbor expectations about me, those things aren’t realistic, nor possible."

Xu Qingrong was heartbroken, crying intermittently.

But Fu Yi didn’t hand her a tissue, didn’t comfort her, and didn’t even take a step closer, maintaining an absolute distance from her throughout.

"Whatever relationship I have with Jiang Nuan, whether we were together before, these are my personal privacy. I don’t need to explain to you, nor to any third person."

For him to care so much about Jiang Nuan when she’s not even present shows how protective he is of her.

Just now, if Xu Qingrong was only sad, this moment truly marked the start of her despair.

"Fu Yi, you like her so much, yet she clearly... doesn’t feel that way about you. Just now, she told me you were inside. She should be able to see that I like you, and she even told me you were here, so it’s clear she doesn’t like you."

The few words ’she doesn’t like you’ made Fu Yi feel a weight pressing down on his chest—a stone crushing his heart until he couldn’t breathe.

The clingy girl in his memory had changed in the five years he hadn’t seen her, transforming into the mature and restrained Doctor Jiang. She seemed to have truly changed without him realizing it.

He didn’t like this change!

But he was protective and wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of Jiang Nuan. "Whether she likes me or not is my business. It’s enough that I like her!"

Xu Qingrong stared at him in disbelief.

Fu Yi didn’t care about her expression, or rather, he wasn’t at all paying attention to the person in front of him. He had never taken her into his heart, so naturally, he didn’t take her into his eyes.

"During the time she stays in the country, she’ll be doing training at your provincial hospital. You’re a doctor there, so I hope you don’t let personal emotions give her any trouble at work."

Xu Qingrong felt genuinely distressed, looking at him with a face full of grievance, "Just because I said I don’t like her, you’re worried I’ll make things difficult for her?"

Do you really like that woman so much?

Fu Yi turned away, unwilling to even give her the courtesy of eye contact, "The Xu family and the Fu family are family friends. I don’t want things to end on a sour note. You’re an adult now; think about what you should or shouldn’t do!"

After saying this, he left her behind, crying and laughing, without looking back.
