But while Ye Kong was speaking, Tong Xiaoyu had already turned around with a great reaction.

She stared at Fang Siwan and said word by word, "You want me to apologize? Let your other daughter apologize to me for her rudeness first."

"Things happen, and we have to solve them one by one."

She turned and stalked away.

Fang Siwan clenched her hands in anger. Ye Kong walked back out and said to Fang Siwan, "Mom, don't be angry. We didn't come here to get angry today."

"Have a good chat with Ye Zhen."

She left the tea room and turned around to see Tong Xiaoyu still standing in the corridor.

Ye Kong looked at her strangely, said nothing, lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, and walked all the way to the open-air rest area on the top floor.

At first, the footsteps beside her did not attract her attention. She just thought that Tong Xiaoyu was also walking in this direction. But until she walked to the rest area, Tong Xiaoyu was still following her, so Ye Kong had to stop.

Turning around to look at Tong Xiaoyu who was following her with a cold face, Ye Kong asked inexplicably: "What are you doing?"

"..." Tong Xiaoyu was even more puzzled, "Don't you have something to tell me? Otherwise, why did you call me out on purpose?"

Ye Kong blinked: "I called you out just to put out the fire, can't you see that my mother is angry?"

"So you are helping me?" Tong Xiaoyu sneered, "Do you want me to say thank you?"

"..." Ye Kong stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly put away his phone, "Do you love Ye Zhen?"

Tong Xiaoyu was stunned by her abrupt and straightforward question. After a moment, she turned away and said, "Of course I don't love you."

"This action and this expression are like telling everyone clearly - I'm speaking in a sarcastic way, please don't misunderstand me." Ye Kong's eyes were pure and innocent, and he asked in confusion, "Aren't you an actor? Did you act like this on purpose, or is your acting just bad?"

"..." Tong Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and stared at her, her face flushed red, and she was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, she finally let out an angry laugh: "As expected, we are sisters. You are no different from that Ye Baozhu. You called me out just to humiliate me in another way."

The lounge area is filled with small tables and rattan chairs.

Ye Kong randomly picked a corner and sat down: "If you think that someone saying that you love Ye Zhen is humiliating you, then I have a suggestion for you - from today on, treat Ye Zhen as a stranger, and don't even glance at him even if you pass by him."

"As for what happened today, interfering with his management of employees, interfering with his mother-son conversations, and even saying things like 'he looks so gentle when he loves me' in front of his mother - never do that again."

Tong Xiaoyu stood there, staring at her motionlessly: "What do you want to say?"

"Why don't you answer me directly?" Ye Kong laughed, "Treat Ye Zhen as a complete stranger. Even if he still has feelings for you, he will give up on you over time. Then you won't have to worry anymore, right?"

"..."

"Or... what you want is for him to not give up, what you want is this kind of lingering love that will never end and always attract attention?"

"...Always be the center of attention? Do you think I really want to be the center of attention?" Tong Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and sneered, "In the final analysis, you still look down on others like Ye Baozhu."

"..." Ye Kong lowered her eyelids, and all the expression on her face disappeared. When she raised her eyes again, there was only boredom and irritation in her eyes, "It's really disgusting."

She leaned back on the rattan chair, and glanced at Tong Xiaoyu who was standing with the posture of a subordinate but the eyes of a superior.

The girl glanced at her calming expression and raised the corners of her mouth in a half-smile: "Now, you have an expression that says, 'See, you finally show your true colors and are going to humiliate me.'"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. I have no grudge against you. Why should I humiliate you?" Ye Kong said, "When I said disgusting, I wasn't referring to you, but the...love between you two?"

She curled her lips in disdain: "I checked before coming here, and the seven-year long relationship between the Shower CP is talked about with great relish."

"On and off, still connected, kissing or quarreling on the street, talking and being jealous in interviews, every detail is so sensational - in the eyes of many people, this seems to be the proof of love." Ye Kong raised the corner of his mouth, "It's really disgusting."

"..." Tong Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide and a thin layer of red appeared on her face. She seemed to want to blurt out something, but she couldn't say it.

So she could only listen to this girl, who was several years younger than her, continuing to talk with a look of contempt on her face.

"You keep saying you don't love me, but when you first saw me, you mistook me for Ye Zhen's new girlfriend and gave me a complicated expression several times."

"You keep saying you don't love me, but you take it for granted that you interfere in Ye Zhen's affairs, and you take it for granted that Ye Zhen's assistant always follows you around."

"He must have said a lot of nice things to you, right? He even told you about Ye Zhen's movements?"

"Don't deny it..." She interrupted Tong Xiaoyu's rebuttal lightly.

"Think carefully, is there any? For example, 'Brother Zhen has never approached other women', 'Brother Zhen still only has you in his heart' - do you dare to say that he has never said such words?"

"..." Tong Xiaoyu froze, memories resurfacing, but the girl's voice continued.

"When he said this, what was your mood? Happy but not willing to think about it? Complacent but not willing to admit it?"

Ye Kong drew circles on the table with her fingers and spoke nonchalantly, as if she had experienced it herself: "Because your self-esteem was hurt by the Ye family, you refused to admit that you loved him, so you naturally wouldn't admit these small emotions, so you naturally ignored these details."

"..." Tong Xiaoyu breathed rapidly, and after a long while she said with difficulty, "Even if what you said is right, it doesn't prove that I love him - maybe I am just vain..."

"Oh, don't get me wrong." Ye Kong looked up at her, "I don't want to prove that you love him. On the contrary, I was just about to say that maybe you don't love each other at all."

“……”Tong Xiaoyu was stunned.

"And this is the most disgusting thing about this love."

Ye Kong said: "You clearly don't love each other at all, and clearly neither of you is willing to give more for the other, but both of you regard yourself as the victim. At the same time, you are still reluctant to do anything and keep your relationship going, repeatedly performing spectacular separations and reunions for the audience - you are not bound together by love."

Shaking his head, Ye Kong looked at Tong Xiaoyu without emotion and said, "You are just bound together by interests, public opinion, habits, and the eyes of the audience, but you still think that it is love, and you refuse to admit your own thoughts - two cowards."

Tong Xiaoyu stood there straight, completely forgetting how to react.

Ye Kong stood up: "Although I haven't experienced it, I have seen what true love is like - even if there are many different ways of expression, in the final analysis, this kind of feeling can only exist between two people who are willing to give for each other."

"You said..." Ye Kong raised his head, looking past the stiff Tong Xiaoyu and looking at the entrance of the rest area, "Am I right? Mr. Ye Zhenye?"
