The restaurant staff were all just envying me for having such a romantic and considerate boyfriend.
Now they were all stunned.
The restaurant manager sensed something was off and stepped in to smooth things over:
"Mr. Song looks like a successful person, being a bit busy is only normal."
I accepted this explanation.
After all, for so many years, I had been comforting myself with such self-deceit.
Song Ye has always been different from others in my heart, he is outstanding in appearance and strong in ability, but unfortunately from an ordinary family.
From the first moment I saw him, I began to like him and pursued him.
I chased him for four years in college, yet he remained very indifferent towards me.
The entire school knew he had a "white moonlight" in Gu Anya, the daughter of the wealthy Gu Group, beautiful, excellent in academics, fluent in four languages, and could play the violin...
Gu Anya said Song Ye was her good friend, and so Song Ye comfortably played the role of a friend by her side.
In our senior year, Gu Anya went abroad.
It was also that year that Song Ye's mother fell seriously ill and, before dying, wanted to see his girlfriend. He asked me to play the part.
Song Ye's mother really liked me; she held my hand and earnestly said to me:
"Xiao Ye, Mom thinks An'an is a good child, you can tell she cares about you from the way she looks at you, you should treat her well."
After Song Ye's mother passed away, Song Ye asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.
I couldn't ask for more, and of course, I agreed.
We started dating like a normal couple.
Song Ye is very career-oriented and has the capability, he ventured into entrepreneurship and achieved considerable success in three years.
But when expanding the business, he ran into problems, no one had faith in him, and no investors were willing to invest in him.
Both of us come from ordinary families, I sold my own house to support his business, yet the money was a mere drop in the ocean.
At this time, Gu Anya returned to the country.
The wealthy young lady saved up a year's allowance and invested in the company, becoming the largest shareholder.
She said she really admired Song Ye's strategic vision and also took up a position in the company.
The two of them rode side by side in the business world, shining so brightly it almost blinded me.
It's been an hour since Song Ye left, I sent him a message:
"Is something bothering you?"
"Do you have anything you want to say to me today?"
No response at all.
He can always see Gu Anya's work messages instantly, but after a long time, he apologetically tells me he didn't notice my message.
