Ling Mo confesses his love.

After receiving the investigation results about Ling Mo from Uncle Sen, Lu Han suspected that this guy was intentionally getting close to Chu Ruoyan.

Chu Ruoyan, after all, was a company CEO with assets worth tens of millions. Although it couldn't compare to the Lu family's wealth, she could still come up with one or two million yuan.

This money might not save Ling Mo's company from its financial crisis, but it could at least alleviate some immediate problems.

However, the thought of telling Chu Ruoyan flashed through Lu Han's mind only briefly before he shook his head.

Firstly, there was no guarantee she would believe him. Even if she did, she might even offer to help Ling Mo actively.

Since they were already like strangers, why should he care so much?

There was no need to meddle in others' affairs.

...

Lu Han had long stopped caring about Chu Ruoyan, but little did he know that her longing for him was growing day by day.

At Mingxue Game Company, Chu Ruoyan emerged from the rest room looking exhausted. She had been sleeping here most of the time recently.

When Lu Han first left, she only felt the house was cold and quiet.

But soon, this coldness turned into lifelessness.

Whenever she was home, Chu Ruoyan couldn't help but recall how wonderful their life together had been, making her hate herself more for her foolish actions.

What was she thinking back then?

Ling Mo merely mentioned wanting to see a concert, and she stupidly took him along?

Chu Ruoyan remembered finding a Chen Yixun poster under the bed, which Lu Han must have forgotten to burn.

How ridiculous.

After dating for two years, she didn't even know who her boyfriend's favorite star was.

Over a month ago, Lu Han invited her to see his idol's concert, but she refused.

Then on the day of the concert, she went with another man.

She thought Lu Han was unaware and lied to him over the phone.

Wasn't this akin to killing someone and crushing their soul?

"If I were your boyfriend, I'd break up with you just because of this," her friend bluntly told her when she confided in her a couple of days ago.

Back then, she had no defense and could only drink glass after glass of wine.

As a result, her stomach, which Lu Han had helped to regulate, started acting up again.

Chu Ruoyan sighed softly, rubbing her aching stomach, and began her work for the day.

This was considered overtime.

But only by keeping busy could she temporarily forget about Lu Han. However, not long after, there was a commotion outside.

Just as she was about to go check, her assistant knocked and entered.

"President Chu, Mr. Ling Mo is outside, insisting on seeing you. What should we do?"

The female assistant looked troubled. That man had come several times before, though he was always turned away, he never made things difficult for the staff.

Today, however, his attitude was terrible, almost as if he had swallowed gunpowder, completely unreasonable.

But since he was once President Chu's "white moonlight," the assistant dared not call security to handle the situation.

Chu Ruoyan frowned slightly. Hadn't she told Ling Mo not to meet unless necessary? Why was he here again?

The noise outside grew louder. Rubbing her temples, Chu Ruoyan said, "Let him in."

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after, Ling Mo pushed the door open and entered.

Dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a handsome face, if it were before, Chu Ruoyan would surely have been moved by her former "white moonlight."

But now, she really didn't feel anything for this man.

Especially since Ling Mo was holding a bouquet of roses.

What was he planning to do?

"Chu Ruoyan," Ling Mo no longer dared to call her "Yanyan," afraid of upsetting her. He smiled and said, "Why don't you relax on weekends? I happen to have two movie tickets, why don't we..."

"I don't have time."

Before he finished, Chu Ruoyan cut him off.

Ling Mo's face stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Did I do something wrong? You weren't like this before."

"The past is the past, the present is the present," Chu Ruoyan said with a bitter smile. "You know, Lu Han will be unhappy if he sees you with me."

Lu Han, again Lu Han!

Ling Mo's expression darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Ruoyan, can't you wake up? Lu Han has already abandoned you!"

"You're lying!"

Even though the harsh truth was exposed, Chu Ruoyan still tried to deceive herself. "I just made a mistake and was misunderstood by him. Once I explain clearly, we can reconcile!"

Last time, she lost badly in front of Su Qingli, but Chu Ruoyan also understood the problem.

Lu Han said he couldn't get over his psychological hurdle.

So, she needed to find a way to help him overcome it.

Chu Ruoyan had gone to Rongcheng again and learned that the hotel's surveillance footage was stored for 21 days. She spent a lot of money to retrieve the recordings.

The videos clearly showed that night she and Ling Mo returned to their respective rooms and didn't leave until the next morning. So, Su Qingli's claim that someone visited the other's room in the middle of the night was false!

With this evidence, she could prove her innocence.

Now, she just needed to find Lu Han. Show him the video, clear the misunderstanding, and everything would be fine, right?

The problem was that she had hired the best private detective in Jiangcheng, but after several days, there was still no news about Lu Han.

What was he doing?

"Why can't you let go of Lu Han?" Ling Mo asked, biting his lip. Seeing the woman's current state, he knew he needed to make a bold move. "Shouldn't the person you truly love be me?"

"In fact, I knew your feelings three years ago, and I can tell you, I liked you too back then."

"But because I had to study abroad, I had to bury my feelings deep inside. Do you know how painful it was for me to board the plane?"

"Especially when I found out you had a boyfriend, I was heartbroken, even contemplating suicide."

"I admit I regretted being a coward, lacking the courage for a long-distance relationship."

"But I believed that as long as you were happy, I didn't care."

"But Lu Han doesn't deserve you!"

"He not only cheated on you but also lacked basic trust in you."

"How can you not forget such a scumbag?"

He spoke passionately, but Chu Ruoyan felt somewhat at a loss.

Ling Mo's words were almost a confession.

If it were three years ago, or even shortly after becoming Lu Han's girlfriend, she would have been moved to tears upon hearing these words.

She would have unhesitatingly left Lu Han and fallen into Ling Mo's arms.

But now, things were different.

"The person I love is Lu Han," Chu Ruoyan said to herself, firmly and assuredly.

At this moment, Ling Mo held out the roses in his hand.

"Yanyan, give me a chance to make amends."

"Be my girlfriend."

"Let me take care of you, cherish you, okay?"
