Chapter 337

"Sister Lele?" Seeing He Lele gripping the steering wheel, her small face wearing a look of sorrowful weeping, Watching Rong Qingya could not help but worry. "What's wrong?"

He Lele quickly relaxed her expression, tugging at the corners of her mouth. "It's a tragedy. I didn't bring my card, and I don't know if the cash I have is enough to buy enough consolation gifts."

"Hee hee! You have me! I'm a little tycoon, you know. Do you want to be friends with me?"

He Lele smiled and started the car.

After recovering her memories, she tried hard not to think of L, not to think of the man she had once hoped for. He... when did he find out that she had mistakenly become a "chamber maid"?

Back at the hospital, unable to accept the facts, she had once questioned him as to why he didn't tell her when he knew the truth.

Why, why...

How, how could she not know why?

Because L knew she couldn't accept it!

Only now did she understand why L had said those words—

"I know everything, but everything only makes me want to protect you, compensate you, cherish you, and love you with all I have. No matter what you have experienced, nothing will become an obstacle to my loving you. The one I love is the Lele who has accompanied me for three years, the He Lele before my eyes! The only woman of Li Yiquan..."

L...

"Sister Lele?" Watching Rong Qingya frantically pulled out tissues to wipe the tears from He Lele's face. "What's wrong?"

"... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Pulling the car to the side of the road, He Lele desperately suppressed her emotions, but she still couldn't control the tears welling up.

"You can't let them go, but you can let me go... right?" He, he had once asked her that.

"Sister Lele, what happened? Did Brother Ji and the others make you angry?"

"No, no, I'm fine, I..." A suffocating sourness surged up, and her tear-filled cheeks twitched slightly. "I just... my heart hurts so much..."

☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 279: He Said He Wasn't There

Driving the car to the riverside, looking at the river water under the bridge that appeared calm but was actually filled with complex undercurrents, He Lele gradually suppressed the emotions in her heart. Yet, that unreleaseable sourness flowed through her entire body with her blood, seeping into every inch of her body she could feel.

"Sister Lele..." Watching Rong Qingya looked at He Lele helplessly. She wanted to say something comforting, wanted to ask something, but even when crying, Sister Lele exuded a resilience that wouldn't be crushed by anything, making it hard for her to say another word. "Can't... you tell me? The reason you're sad."

He Lele smiled faintly and spoke frankly, "Because I have let down a friend who was very, very good to me."

"A man?"

He Lele nodded.

Oh! Then that's not strange. But, "Do you love him?" Watching Rong Qingya continued to ask.

He Lele was slightly startled. Love? "I, I haven't thought about it."

"Women don't cry for men they don't love, you know!"

Looking at Watching Rong Qingya's "relationship expert" demeanor, He Lele instead chuckled. After thinking for a moment, He Lele composed her emotions, took a deep breath, and smiled at Watching Rong Qingya. "Let's go. If we don't go feed them, someone will start calling to urge us."

"... Do Brother Ji and the others know?" Sitting in the car, Watching Rong Qingya still couldn't help but ask.

"Know what?" He Lele fastened her seatbelt.

"Know that you love someone else?"

"Qingya, what exactly is love?" He Lele looked at Watching Rong Qingya and asked seriously.

"Uh..."

"If the pain in my heart right now is because of love, then it's very clear... I don't just love one person." Ignition, start, eyes on the road ahead. Even the deepest pain will have a day when it fades. He has his future, and she has... her happiness.

Dawn Law Firm

As soon as He Lele and Watching Rong Qingya entered the firm, they were enthusiastically surrounded. Initially, several young men were a bit reserved upon seeing Watching Rong Qingya, a new girl, but as soon as they saw the large and small bags in the two women's hands, they immediately threw their reserve to the back of their minds, smiling as they took the numerous snacks and turned to go share the spoils with their "Masters."

"Really... birds of a feather flock together, indeed!" He Lele couldn't help but laugh. Is this basically a glutton's law firm?

While speaking, He Lele quickly scanned the firm—L was nowhere to be seen.

"Lingyu, you go ahead and get busy! I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come see you another day." After chatting for a bit, He Lele wanted to leave.

"You just got here! You're not allowed to leave! Sister Qingya is so elegant, is she a colleague of Lele's?"

"Hee hee... Sister Lingyu is the one who is elegant and beautiful. I'm still in school. Sister Lingyu, you got your lawyer's license at such a young age? That's amazing!"

Smiling as she watched the two women meet for the first time, He Lele's attention was involuntarily drawn to a conversation not far away.

"Brother Ming, has Brother Li returned yet?"

"He should have, right? Knock on the door and see."

"Don't. What if he's resting? Brother Li hasn't been home lately; he's been staying up late almost every day. If I didn't know Brother Li didn't have a girlfriend, I'd suspect he was heartbroken and using work to numb himself."
