Huo Ruilin looked at Song Zekai's reaction and felt a little disappointed. "Brother Zekai, don't you have any other feelings for me?"

Song Zekai was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Rui Lin, you are a good girl. I have always treated you as my sister, and I hope you will not have any inappropriate fantasies about me."

Song Zekai knew that it was hurtful to say this, but during this period of time, he had sensed that Huo Ruilin cared about him, intentionally or unintentionally.

At first, he didn't care about this kind of concern, thinking that she just treated him like a brother.

But now, he felt that her concern for him had suddenly changed.

Therefore, in order not to hurt Huo Ruilin, Song Zekai decided to kill her obsession with him directly before she got too deeply involved.

"Brother Zekai, how can you say that?"

Huo Ruilin's eyes instantly turned red when she heard Song Zekai's words, "My feelings for you are not just a whim. I like you, the kind of love I have had since childhood. I really like you."

Huo Ruilin finally said out what was hidden in her heart. She had wanted to tell him that she loved him for a long time.

So, she returned to China and even applied for a job at his company, hoping to be closer to him and slowly develop feelings for him?

Song Zekai felt sorry for Huo Ruilin when he saw her sad face, but he knew that a short pain is worse than a long one. "Ruilin, you can't force feelings. I don't like you. From childhood to adulthood, I only took your sister. I hope you can find someone who truly loves you, and that person is not me."

"Why?" Huo Ruilin bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall. "I don't believe it, Brother Zekai, I don't want to be your sister, you must have some difficulties to say so. Right? Is it because of that Ellie? Do you like her?"

Song Zekai shook his head helplessly. "No, Ai Li and I are just work colleagues. I don't like you because I think we are not suitable."

"Why is it not suitable?" Huo Ruilin wiped her tears and couldn't help asking, "Is it because I am not worthy of you?"

She is the apple of the Huo family's eye, Huo Jingchen's biological sister, and the eldest daughter of the Huo family.

She comes from a wealthy family and is clearly a good match for Song Zekai, but he insists that they are not suitable. Does he think he is not worthy of him?

Song Zekai quickly explained: "It's not because of this, Ruilin, you come from a wealthy family. I just think that you deserve better and I am not worthy of you. Besides, you are my sister. How can I, as a brother, fall in love with my sister?"

Huo Ruilin shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't want to be your sister, and I don't think you're unworthy of me. Brother Zekai, feelings can't be measured by these external conditions. I like you just because you are you."

Song Zekai sighed and said, "Rui Lin, you are still young and don't understand the complexity of feelings. Maybe you like me now, but you will meet someone better in the future, and you will understand that it is impossible for us to be together."

Huo Ruilin said stubbornly: "I won't meet anyone better, Brother Zekai, I only like you. Why can't you give me a chance?"

Song Zekai looked at Huo Ruilin's determined eyes and couldn't help but frowned. He was a little shaken in his heart, but he still made up his mind.

Song Zekai sighed and said, "Rui Lin, don't be so stupid. You still have many choices in your life. Don't waste your time on me. I'm not worthy of you doing this."

Huo Ruilin felt a pain in her heart when she saw Song Zekai's resolute look. She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and calmed down.

"Okay, Brother Zekai, I get it. I won't be stupid again. I will work hard and not cause you any trouble."

After saying that, Huo Ruilin turned and ran out of the office.

Song Zekai looked at her departing back, his heart filled with guilt and helplessness.

He knew he had hurt Huo Ruilin, but he had no other choice.

He could only hope that Huo Ruilin could get over this relationship as soon as possible and find her own happiness. Since he couldn't give her happiness, why should he make her more sad?

He is a veteran in the love field and a well-known playboy in the Beijing circle. A simple girl like Huo Ruilin should not be with someone like him.

Therefore, Song Zekai could not delay Huo Ruilin, and he knew very well that he was not worthy of her.

Luming Manor.

"Rui Lin, you're back! Did your work go well today?"

Lin Wanwan, with her big belly, saw Huo Ruilin coming back and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"It's okay." Huo Ruilin was obviously in a bad mood. She just answered perfunctorily and walked into the villa with a tired face.

Lin Wanwan looked puzzled, "What's wrong with this girl? Is it because of something at work that made her unhappy?"

Lin Wanwan looked at Huo Ruilin's back, feeling a little worried. She thought about it and decided to find a chance to talk to Huo Ruilin later to see what happened to her.

After a while, Lin Wanwan came to Huo Ruilin's door and knocked gently. "Ruilin, are you there? Can I come in?"

When Huo Ruilin heard Lin Wanwan's voice, she wiped her tears and said, "Sister Wanwan, come in."

Lin Wanwan pushed open the door and walked into the room. She saw Huo Ruilin's eyes were red. She had obviously been crying. "Ruilin, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy? Can you tell your sister-in-law about it?"

Huo Ruilin looked at Lin Wanwan's caring eyes, and her heart warmed. She couldn't help but lean on Lin Wanwan's shoulder and cried. "Sister-in-law, I'm so sad."

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Lin Wanwan hugged her and comforted her.

"It was Song Zekai. I confessed to him, but he rejected me." Huo Ruilin said crying.

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Wanwan was surprised, "You confessed to Song Zekai?"

Huo Ruilin nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sad. Brother Zekai doesn't like me. He only treats me as a sister."

Lin Wanwan gently patted Huo Ruilin's back and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Ruilin. You can't force feelings. Maybe he is not the right person for you."

Huo Ruilin raised her head, looked at Lin Wanwan, and said, "But I really like him, and I don't want to give up. Sister Wanwan, what do you think I should do?"

Lin Wanwan sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Rui Lin, you need to calm down first. You can try to keep some distance from him and calm yourself down. Maybe after a while, you will find that your feelings for him are not that deep."

Huo Ruilin shook her head and said, "I can't do it. I feel so sad when I think about not being able to be with him in the future."

Lin Wanwan sighed and said, "Rui Lin, you are still young and impulsive now. You should think more about yourself. You are the eldest daughter of the Huo family. You have many choices."
