Looking at the young man in front of him, Han Yuluo thought that he was a better fit for Huang Yuanfeng than himself who had a daughter and niece who needed special care and treatment. If she marries the young man, she can live a good life.
Thinking of this, Han Yuluo clenched his fists and forced himself to say, "Yuanfeng, you talk to Comrade Geng. I’m going back first."
Upon hearing his words, Huang Yuanfeng was stunned. She reached out and held his sleeve and said, "Yuluo, wait..."
But before she could stop him from leaving, Geng Zexian blocked her way and said with a smile, "Comrade Huang, if you are not free tonight, how about tomorrow? We can have lunch together. The state-owned restaurant has a new menu, which I heard is delicious."
Huang Yuanfeng is not a person who does not understand emotions. Therefore, she knew that Geng Zexian was pursuing her. She had politely turned him down many times, but he still didn’t want to give up.
This man is a good person and has a great future. If she had met him before that incident or before she met with Han Yuluo in this city, she might have chosen to be with him.
But now, she already has someone she likes, and she can bring herself to give Geng Zexian false hope. After considering the pros and cons, she decided to tell him the truth.
"Comrade Geng, thank you for liking me. However, we are not suitable for each other. I am not a person with a complete body," she said calmly.
When Geng Zexian heard the first half of her sentence, he knew that the woman he liked wanted to reject him again, and he was ready to persuade her. But when he heard the second half of her words, he was stunned.
"Comrade Huang, what do you mean with your words?" he asked.
Huang Yuanfeng took a deep breath, looked into his eyes and said, "Comrade Geng, I was violated by a gangster and lost my purity. It is impossible for your parents to accept me with my current condition. So, don’t waste your time on me."
"You...what?" Geng Zexian was too shocked to understand her words.
"Comrade Geng, you are a good man. There are many women who like you and are willing to be your wife. You will find someone better than me and you deserve a better person," Huang Yuanfeng said with a smile.
Seeing how shocked he was, she said no more, bypassed him, and caught up with Han Yuluo.
But before she took two steps, her wrist was grabbed by Geng Zexian.
Huang Yuanfeng was stunned, and quickly tried to pull her hand away from him while saying, "Comrade Geng, what are you..."
Before she finished speaking, Geng Zexian interrupted her, "Huang Yuanfeng, I don’t care what happened to you in the past. What I like is you as a person."
He let go of her hands and continued, "You are a great person and a strong woman. My feelings for you are sincere and have nothing to do with your origin or your purity. So, I hope you can give me a chance, give us a chance."
Huang Yuanfeng was stunned by his words. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "I’m very grateful for your words. However, I have someone I like, and I can’t accept your feelings. I’m sorry."
Geng Zexian looked at her and asked, "Is it Han Yuluo?"
He was so jealous that he didn’t notice the woman behind him was running after him.
After a while, Huang Yuanfeng said breathlessly, "Yuluo, slow down."
Hearing her gasp, Han Yuluo came back to his senses and slowed down, but did not let go of her hand. It wasn’t until they were almost at the compound that he let go of her hand and stopped.
Turning around, he looked at her and asked, "Yuanfeng, do you like that man?"
Huang Yuanfeng shook her head and said, "No, I don’t like him."
"Then do you have someone you like?" he asked again.
This time, she nodded and said, "Yes."
When Han Yuluo heard this, his heart ached, but he said nothing. After a long silence, he finally said hoarsely, "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those words."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
