The restaurant manager sensed something was off and stepped in to smooth things over:
"Mr. Song, you surely look like a successful person, so it's only natural for you to be a bit busy."
For all these years, I've been consoling myself with such self-deceptive thoughts.
Song Ye has always been different in my heart. He's striking in appearance, and he's very capable, but unfortunately, his family background is ordinary.
From the first moment I saw him, I started liking him and pursued him.
I chased after him for four years in college, but he remained very indifferent to me.
The whole school knew he had a "white moonlight," Gu Anya, the heiress of the Gu Group, who's beautiful, excels academically, speaks four languages, and plays the violin...
Gu Anya said that Song Ye was her good friend, so he comfortably played the role of a good friend by her side.
In senior year, Gu Anya went abroad.
That same year, Song Ye's mother fell seriously ill and, before she died, wanted to see his girlfriend. He asked me to pretend to be his fake girlfriend.
Song Ye's mother liked me very much. She held my hand and earnestly said to me:
"Xiao Ye, I think An'an is a good girl, you should treat her well."
After Song Ye's mother passed away, he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.
I couldn't have wished for more and naturally agreed.
We started dating like a normal couple.
Song Ye is very ambitious, and he has the ability too. He went on to start a business, and in three years, achieved significant success.
But when the company expanded, he faced problems: no one believed in him, and no investors were willing to invest in him.
We both come from ordinary families. I sold my house to support his business, but that money was just a drop in the bucket.
At this time, Gu Anya returned home.
The heiress saved up a year's worth of pocket money to invest in the company, becoming its largest shareholder.
She said she had great faith in Song Ye's strategic vision, and she took on a position in the company.
The two of them charged ahead in the business world, dazzling to the point it almost blinded my eyes.
It's been over an hour since Song Ye left. I sent him a message:
"Is everything troublesome?"
"Today, is there anything you want to say to me?"
No reply at all.
He can always see Gu Anya's work messages immediately but apologetically tells me much later that he didn't notice my message.
In his heart, maybe she's more important than I am!
