Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Wholehearted Devotion
Su Zixi wasn’t oblivious to his work commitments; she knew how hard he had been working lately, so even if he had to attend a meeting and even if there were ten Ye Shutongs with him, she wouldn’t mind… Perhaps she would feel a tinge of jealousy, but she would manage it.
But it shouldn’t be today, it shouldn’t be at this time.
He surely knew she was waiting for him; he knew it! He had said he would hurry over! When he called Mr. Li, she had been secretly listening the whole time!
Was it because she had been angry and ignoring him these past few days? Was it because she told him over the phone this afternoon that she didn’t miss him at all? Was this his way of punishing her?
No, that couldn’t be it! He wouldn’t stand her up over such a thing, she simply couldn’t believe that!
Su Zixi suddenly asked abruptly, “After he meets with the President, he will still come over, right?”
Ning Yichen’s voice suddenly cut off as if something had abruptly choked it!
He clenched his fists, his gaze filled with shocked pain!
It turned out that she had never really listened to him; in her heart, there was only He Jingyao.
She didn’t want to know his feelings, didn’t care how much he loved her, didn’t care what he had sacrificed or what he had given up for her… because she had long stopped caring about him, no matter what he did, he could no longer move her in the slightest.
Ning Yichen suddenly realized how out of place his so-called affection was. Realizing this, he suddenly felt like he was suffocating!
Could it be that he had been wrong all along? The sliver of possibility he thought still remained, was it just his own wishful thinking? To Su Zixi, he had become meaningless…
Even though she had once devoted so much to him, even though he used to be the most important person in her life!
But that was in the past; the Su Zixi of today already had someone else she valued more. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t divert her attention from He Jingyao even for a moment!
This realization made Ning Yichen’s heart feel bitterly cold…
He suddenly laughed hoarsely, “No. The President’s dinner will last at least two hours, and there may be activities afterward… He will certainly have to stay the whole time. If he leaves early, he will undoubtedly offend the President, and thus the project will have no fate with the He Family.”
Su Zixi stared blankly at the exquisite dish in front of her, just recently served by the waiter.
She picked up her fork, transferred a portion onto her plate, then cut a small piece and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly, her long eyelashes drooping, concealing all emotion.
“Zhixi…” Seeing her , Ning Yichen’s heart ached immensely, “After all he’s done, are you still wholeheartedly devoted to him?”
Su Zixi put down her knife and fork and looked at him seriously: “Aren’t you hungry?”
Ning Yichen opened his mouth, then suddenly laughed at himself with a scoff.
She clearly didn’t want to hear a single word against He Jingyao.
Ning Yichen had never felt so clearly pushed aside by her. In the past, when she earnestly pleaded with him to give up, he never took it seriously; he thought it must have been because he did too many things wrong, that he had disappointed and upset her, so she spoke in that manner. As long as he could convince her of his sincerity, she would surely come back.
But it turned out, he no longer had any chance at all.
He suddenly felt dizzy, light-headed, and his hands trembled for a moment, the knife and fork falling from his grasp.
