Ye Yu wore a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all.
Her gaze didn't even linger on Lin Ning.
Seeing that Ye Yu had no reaction, Lin Ning became even more aggressive.
She pulled me to sit beside Ye Yu, serving me food while saying, "Gu Ling, I heard that you and my sister grew up together?"
"Such childhood sweethearts, it's really enviable."
I glanced at Ye Yu and took a sip of red wine without saying anything.
Lin Ning continued, "Actually, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
"You only have a bit of an obsession with my sister now, right?"
"After all, it's something you once lost; lingering thoughts will surely echo back."
"But I think you should have no feelings for my sister anymore, right?"
"After all, a man who keeps dwelling on the past is quite boring."
"If one day you want a divorce, I'll definitely be the first to support you."
I frowned slightly and turned my gaze toward Ye Yu.
I thought she would cry, throw a fit, or question me.
But she didn't.
She remained quietly seated beside me, a faint smile on her lips as she looked at Lin Ning.
It was as if what Lin Ning said had nothing to do with her.
A wave of frustration flashed through my mind.
Shouldn't Ye Yu be cursing me out or rushing over to pull Lin Ning's hair?
Why was she so quiet?
Lin Ning noticed my displeasure and immediately closed her mouth, saying nothing more.
However, I vaguely felt that beneath Ye Yu's calm eyes, there seemed to be a hint of pain.
But when I looked closely, that trace of pain vanished.
I couldn't help but resentfully think to myself, "Ye Yu, is there still a little space for me in your heart?"
"Do you still have even a tiny bit of feeling for me?"
But I didn't show it; instead, I shot a cold glance at Lin Ning, warning her not to speak out of turn.
Lin Ning immediately lowered her head, looking as if she had been wronged.
I sat in the middle, with Ye Yu on my left and Lin Ning on my right. Both women fell silent, neither daring to speak.
This gathering left me feeling troubled.
7.
After returning home, I kept a cold expression and said nothing.
Ye Yu also didn't take the initiative to talk to me, not even giving me a glance.
After taking a shower, I lay in bed, tossing and turning unable to sleep.
At that moment, my phone suddenly rang.
It was Lin Ning calling.
I answered the phone, and Lin Ning's delicate voice immediately came through: "Gu Ling, are you asleep?"
"No."
"Then can you come keep me company now?"
"I'm a bit scared."
I glanced at the room next door and raised my voice, saying, "I have something to do tonight; I can't leave."
"What is it?"
Lin Ning's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "Is it that Ye Yu won't let you leave?"
"No."
"Then what is it? Is it something at the company?"
I hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yeah."
"Alright then."
After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the room and stood in front of Ye Yu's door.
I knocked lightly and said coldly, "Beg me, and I'll stay."
From inside the room, Ye Yu's calm voice replied, "No need."
I didn't say anything more. I turned around, opened the door, and left the house.
I didn't even know why I was doing this.
But deep down, I knew my indifference towards Ye Yu wasn't because I hated her.
If I truly hated her, I would treat her like an enemy.
