Chapter 325: I’ll Leave After You Fall Asleep

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Lan hated herself for being so loathsome.

Every time she saw him, she would lose control of her emotions and demand an answer.

Why wouldn’t Fu Jin love her?

Fu Jin handed her a tissue. “You have the right to like whoever you like but whether the other person likes you back is his choice.”

Fu Jin was rational and calm when dealing with Ye Lan.

But Ye Lan couldn’t stay calm and rational when facing him. She cried for a while, but she still felt wronged.

It wasn’t like she didn’t know her behavior was unreasonable and loathsome. Yet, she hoped that if he didn’t love her, maybe he could hate her as a way to remember her?

But reality was cruel.

Fu Jin wouldn’t remember her by hating her. On the contrary, he would forget her very quickly and go back to his business.

Ye Lan was tired from crying, and her makeup was smudged. She wiped her face with a tissue, and it took off a thick layer of foundation. She looked like a hot mess.

She turned her back to Fu Jin and sobbed, “Do I still stand a chance?”

“No.”

“You’re so heartless. Are you so sure that you and Fang Han will get married?”

“Not sure.”

“She may not be my last girlfriend, but I’m very sure that I’m not interested in you. Of course, I also wish you well and achieve greatness so I get my return on investment.”

Ye Lan was so angry that she felt like crying again. But after crying for so long, she already felt much better and was calmer.

“Fu Jin, you’re being very heartless.”

“I’m not being heartless. I’m being respectful to myself and to you. Something without a future will never be the future. It’s just a dead end.”

Ye Lan signed. “I don’t regret liking you, but I don’t want to let go.”

“That’s your choice. It has nothing to do with me and you don’t have to tell me.” Fu Jin grew up abroad. He could be chivalrous, but his chivalry would not be externally controlled.

Whoever Ye Lan liked was her choice.

But if he didn’t like someone, he would courageously tell that person so. He wouldn’t feel sad because the other person was crying pitifully and say things that went against his heart.

Just like back then when he was rejected by Tang Beibei. He didn’t act rashly. Instead, he chose to admire her from afar and not disturb her.

Liking someone was a choice, not a tool for moral coercion.

Ye Lan was speechless. She cleaned her face and left.

Fu Jin didn’t like to bring his personal feelings to work. He turned on his computer and was about to deal with work when he heard his phone vibrate.

It was Fang Han.

He hesitated for a few seconds before he answered the call.

Little big brother Fu Jin, did you miss me?”

“Sorry, no.”

Fang Han wheedled, “That’s disappointing. I miss you so much that I want to come and find you.”

“I’m still at work. Big sister Fang Han, didn’t we say that we won’t disturb each other?”

Fang Han was silent for a few seconds before her sweet and coquettish voice sounded.

“You’re the one who’s disturbing me. I’m also at work but when I see people dancing, I think of you. You’re running around in my mind. Even if you’re not tired, I am. If I don’t see you soon, I’ll get lovesick.”

Fu Jin dug his ear and goosebumps broke out all over his body.

“Miss Fang, please speak normally.”

“I learned it from my models. They speak so delicately and men like it so much Don’t you like it?”

“No, I don’t! Are you taking a break now?”

“Not really. The brand is too difficult to please, and the models are also disobedient. I feel like quitting. I just want to be with you. I’ll come and find you later.”

“I might not be done yet. I still have dance practice.” Fu Jin practiced every day.

The expectation he had for himself was that he could skip meals for a day, but not dance practice.

“Then I’ll keep you company, Fu Jin, my little friend. I’m your girlfriend and it’s your job to spoil me!” Her tone became serious.

Fu Jin chuckled. He would also be chivalrous to his girlfriend.

“Don’t drive if you’re too tired. Take a taxi over. Or should I pick you up?”

“I won’t trouble you. Just practice your dance and warm up first. You might not be able to practice properly when I’m there.”

“Mwah, wait for me!”

Fu Jin propped his chin and thought about the time he spent with Fang Han. It was pleasant.

She was an interesting woman.

Fu Jin thought that she would come by later, but just half an hour after their phone call when he was about to practice with everyone, he saw a woman in high heels and a short skirt suit waving at him.

Fu Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked up to her.

You have serious eye bags. Have you been staying up late?”

Even with makeup, Fang Han could not hide the dark circles under her eyes.

Fang Han pouted and hugged him with a pitiful expression.

“Boyfriend, I need you to comfort me.”

Fu Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hugged her back quickly and wanted to break the hug but the woman refused to let him go.

He said helplessly in a low voice, “Big sister, let’s not be lovey-dovey in front of everyone. I’ll bring you upstairs to rest.”

“Carry me.”

Fu Jin laughed in exasperation. He held her shoulders and pushed her away.

“It’s not convenient for me to carry you upstairs. Please be a good girl.”

“I don’t want. I want to be lovey-dovey with you in front of everyone. Hold my hand.” Fang Han said coquettishly.

Fu Jin saw that her eyes were bloodshot. She had really been staying up late. He raised his hand and rubbed her eyes. “Big sister who values money over life. I really don’t know what to do with you.”

The two of them held hands and went upstairs. Fu Jin’s trainees watched the couple’s lovey-dovey from downstairs. Ye Lan stood in a corner and watched as the woman act cute in front of Fu Jin. Fu Jin didn’t hate it at all and even doted on her.

She felt that her crying earlier was a joke!

A dark cloud hung over her heart. It was so dark that it made her feel as if her entire world was gray.

Fu Jin brought Fang Han to his breakroom upstairs.

Fang Han went to the bathroom and removed her makeup. Sans makeup, she looked even more haggard, and her eyes were like panda eyes.

Fu Jin frowned and ran a towel under the hot water, wringed it and put it on

her face. Fang Han sighed comfortably.

It was so blissful to have a boyfriend who was a medical student.

Fu Jin ignored her fawning words and made her lie down.

“How long have you been working late?”

“I only slept for about three hours a day. From designing clothes, to choosing models, designing the look, getting the venue ready and communicating with the manufacturers and dealers, four days. I made almost ten million yuan in four days. Am I awesome or what?”

Fu Jin gently pressed on her acupoints. “Why are you working so hard?”

Fang Han smiled and opened one eye to look at him. “I’m earning money to support you, my little friend.”

Fu Jin laughed. “Nonsense. Do I look like I need you to support me?”

“I have my own dance troupe that will make money in future. Besides, this isn’t my main business. My other companies are making money. Although my monthly income isn’t high, I still rake in a few million yuan a month.”

“Wow, my little friend is so good at making money!” Fang Han was surprised.

She took his hand away, sat up, and kissed him.

Fu Jin avoided her. “Lie down and rest. I still have dance practice.”

“Sigh, I’m very sad that you rejected your girlfriend’s kiss so mercilessly.”

Fang Han wrapped her arms around his neck and would not give up until she kissed him.

Although she pretended to be soft and cute, she was still quite tough when she wanted to do something.

Fu Jin didn’t want to argue with her and let her kiss him. But the woman wasn’t satisfied. She kissed him again while wrapping her arms and legs around him like an octopus.

Fu Jin held her shoulders and pushed her away again. “Miss Fang, the most important thing for you now is to rest. Exercise will increase your fatigue.” “I miss you. I’m not tired.”

“But my heart is tired.”

He sighed and comforted her. “I need to practice. When I’m done and you are awake, you can do whatever you want.”

“Promise?”

“Yes.”

Fu Jin felt that this woman could sometimes be childish and had to be coaxed.

Only then did Fang Han let go of him and lay down obediently. She closed her eyes but grabbed his hand.

Fu Jin took it away, and then she grabbed the corner of his shirt.

So clingy!

“Go to sleep. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.”

The woman’s secret plan worked. She smiled smugly as she said, “My boyfriend

is so sweet.”

Fu Jin took out his phone and watched a dance video. He waited for the woman to fall asleep and covered her with the blanket before he went downstairs.

He walked to the back of the studio and was about to practice when he saw Ruan Qi run into the bathroom clutching her stomach.
