I didn't expect Gu Anya to say things to this extent. I was both surprised and somewhat reflective:

"So, you all knew."

Both Song Ye and Gu Anya are well aware that what I mind is this pure business partnership between them.

But who has ever cared about my feelings? Who has ever thought about avoiding suspicion?

I am increasingly grateful that I escaped early from the quagmire and walked out of this neglected relationship.

Gu Anya's voice carried a hint of pleading:

"Ye An'an, I have no romantic feelings for Song Ye, but he is indeed a very important person to me."

"Tell me, what will it take for you to reconcile with Song Ye?"

Seeing Gu Anya acting superior and condescending, I suddenly felt an urge to mock her.

"Quit your job at Song Ye's company, and stop lingering around him every day."

As I expected, Gu Anya indeed refused, her face full of fury:

"This company is also my career, and it has my hard work. To quit for your ridiculous reason, I can't do that."
