Chapter 302 Wait for Me
Duan Yujing was walking slowly with his head down.
His back view looked so lonely and helpless.
"Yujing, wait for me!" Li Yan shouted loudly.
The sound was faint in the bustling street, but it was full of power.
She lifted her skirt and ran as fast as she could towards Duan Yujing.
Her hair was a little disheveled as she ran, and a few strands were stuck to her face with sweat, but she didn't care about that, her eyes fixed on Duan Yujing's back.
Upon hearing Li Yan's shout, Duan Yujing's body trembled slightly, and his steps unconsciously slowed down.
He stopped, but did not turn around.
His heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions, a mixture of feelings.
He both hoped that Li Yan would catch up with him and was afraid to face her.
Duan Yujing pursed his lips slightly, as if trying to suppress his emotions.
Li Yan ran breathlessly to Duan Yujing's side, her chest heaving violently.
Her face was flushed from running, and sweat slid down her forehead and down her cheeks.
Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Duan Yujing, filled with grievance, confusion, and a hint of anger.
"Yu Jing, why did you leave as soon as you saw me? Why didn't you reply to my messages?" Li Yan's voice was trembling with tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She gripped her skirt tightly with both hands, her fingers turning white from the force, as if trying hard to control herself from getting too excited.
Duan Yujing took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision.
He slowly turned around and looked at Li Yan.
Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: jealousy, helplessness, and an undeniable deep affection.
“Li Yan, I saw you chatting so happily with Chang Yan, and I thought… I thought I shouldn’t have disturbed you,” Duan Yujing said bitterly.
He dared not look directly at Li Yan, but instead looked at the ground to the side.
Li Yan felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing Duan Yujing's words.
She shook her head, and tears finally welled up in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
"You've misunderstood. We were just talking about you. I'm very worried about you. Do you know how anxious I've been these past few days?"
Li Yan's voice trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously loosened their grip on her skirt, reaching forward a little as if she wanted to grab Duan Yujing, but hesitated.
When Duan Yujing saw Li Yan crying, his heart felt like it had been hit hard. He restrained himself and casually made up an excuse: "Li Yan, it's getting late. Let's go back. I have to go too."
He doesn't really want to face Li Yan right now.
Li Yan remembered that Xie Changyan said he had been very busy lately, and even though she felt a little bad, she didn't try to persuade Duan Yujing to stay.
"Well... Mr. Duan, see you next time."
Duan Yujing nodded, hesitated for two seconds, and then turned to leave.
Li Yan stood there, her eyes fixed on Duan Yujing's receding figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Just as she was about to turn around and go home, she heard a familiar, sweet laugh.
She turned her head and saw Xu Rou walking towards her with her best friend Lu Yue.
As soon as Lu Yue saw Li Yan, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, and she spoke first.
"Hey, isn't this Li Yan? You've been riding high lately, haven't you? You're really something, managing to seduce the Gu brothers."
As she spoke, she looked Li Yan up and down, her eyes full of disdain.
Xu Rou stood to the side, not saying a word, but her eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.
"Look at yourself! How can you compare to Rou'er? Rou'er is a lady from a respectable family, while you're just some wild woman who popped up out of nowhere."
Lu Yue's voice was full of belittling tone.
