Chapter 9: THE LONG NIGHT
Outside the Girls' Dorm
Yuxin walked ahead confidently, her every step calculated. Her gaze was fixed on Chen Yu—like a predator seeing its prey again after a long time.
So this is what he's become? Luxury car... expensive clothes... buying villas? Tch, he must be some hidden heir after all. And to think I dumped him thinking he was just some orphan loser. Now that he has money—he has to be mine.
It doesn't matter if he's with Bai Ruxue now. I'll apologize, charm him a little... and he'll come running back. He always loved me.
She put on a soft, pitiful expression as she stepped closer.
"Chen Yu..." she said sweetly, as if nothing had happened. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Chen Yu didn't reply. His expression remained unreadable.
Yuxin smiled and tilted her head, her voice honeyed. "I've been thinking a lot about you. About us. I... I realize I made a mistake back then. I shouldn't have said those things. I didn't mean them."
Still silence.
"I know you still care about me," she said with more confidence now. "I mean, two years together—it wasn't all fake, right? You loved me... and maybe... you still do."
That's when Chen Yu chuckled—low and cold.
