Chapter 1012 - 1031: Pierced Heart
Standing at the entrance of the hotel, she still felt shaken, and even the biting wind couldn’t calm her down for a long time.
Once she finally calmed down, she realized that she had left her phone, coat, and wallet in the room. She had arrived by car with Xinlan and An Yuya, but now she had no idea where they were. She was too afraid to go back to the room to retrieve her belongings—what was she to do? How would she get home?
Immediately, she began to cry out of panic in the middle of the road.
Another gust of biting wind swept over her, making her feel unbearably cold. For the sake of impressing the man tonight, she had worn a dress with a coat over it and thin tights underneath. Now standing there, within moments, she began to shiver all over.
Thinking of how others were at home, enjoying family reunions, while she alone was in the cold wind, she began to helplessly cry.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
In the room, Li Yan hadn’t noticed the belongings Xinlan had left behind. It was the housekeeper who saw them during the room cleaning and asked him, "Sir, is it okay to leave this woman’s coat, bag, and wallet here?"
Li Yan, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around sharply with a puzzled look at the items in the housekeeper’s hands, and a thought occurred to him. However, he did not chase after the woman to return her things; in his view, she deserved it. So he said to the housekeeper, "Take these things out and do whatever you want with them—keep them or throw them away."
The housekeeper’s face lit up with joy, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, sir, I know what to do."
Working at such a five-star hotel required some discernment, and it was obvious that the clothes, bag, and phone were high-class, worth about her year’s salary. Of course, she couldn’t bring herself to throw them away, saving them for her own use instead.
The housekeeper’s movements quickened, seeming afraid that Li Yan might change his mind at any moment.
Soon, the housekeeper quickly left the room, restoring its previous silence.
Li Yan remained standing by the window, a faint glow of sadness in his eyes.
He murmured to himself, "She must be at home now, celebrating with her family, husband, and kids. How could she spare a thought for me, here all alone?"
The days of waiting had left him exhausted.
He initially thought that when she said she wanted to cut all ties, she didn’t mean it, and that in her heart, he was still the most important person. Until now, as the new year approached, he realized he was wrong, very wrong. It turned out that he was no longer of any significance in her heart.
The discovery pierced deep into a part of his heart with a sudden sharp pain, even making it hard to breathe, and the pain blurred his thoughts, rendering him unaware of when he passed out!
