Hidden truth, intricate love

Lin Yue's voice was cold and distant, revealing an unshakable determination. She seemed as far away as a thousand miles across the line. All the tenderness and attachment she once had vanished, leaving only calmness and determination.

"Li Hao, I've already said that there's no point in talking about the past. Please don't try to contact me again." Her voice was indifferent without a trace of warmth.

Li Hao's heart seemed to be torn apart the moment he heard these words. His hands trembled slightly as he tried to hold on to the last glimmer of hope: "Lin Yue, I know I did something wrong, but I don't want to give up... I'm willing to do anything to make it up to you. Please give me a chance."

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, her voice chillingly calm. "Li Hao, some damage is irreparable. Even if you understand everything now, it doesn't matter to me anymore."

She hung up, and Li Hao, listening to the busy tone on the other end, fell into a deep sense of loss. Her last, cold words kept replaying in his mind, and his heart was filled with regret and resentment. He refused to believe that the relationship he had destroyed with his own hands was irreparable.

In the days that followed, Li Hao tried every possible way to get closer to Lin Yue, to prove his true feelings for her, but each time he was met with cold rebuffs. It was as if Lin Yue had completely withdrawn from his world, unwilling to even glance at him. Tormented by remorse and helplessness, Li Hao gradually withered.

One day, he went to the park that Lin Yue often visited, hoping to run into her again. As the sun set, a tranquil atmosphere filled the park. Standing by a familiar bench, Li Hao recalled the scene of the two of them sitting side by side there in the past, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Just then, he saw Lin Yue from afar. She was sitting alone on a bench, her eyes fixed on the front, as if she didn't notice him. Li Hao approached cautiously, his voice low and pleading, "Lin Yue, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Lin Yue looked up at him, her expression cold and without a trace of fluctuation: "Li Hao, there is nothing more to talk about between us."

A trace of pain flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He tried to explain, "Lin Yue, I know I was wrong and I know I hurt you... but I really regret it. I'm willing to spend my whole life to make amends. I only ask that you give me another chance."

Lin Yue looked at him coldly, without a trace of tenderness in her eyes, as if he were already a stranger. "Li Hao, true hurt can't be erased with just a simple apology. I've already decided to move on and not look back."

Li Hao felt powerless, knowing his words would no longer move her. Lin Yue stood up and left without looking back, leaving him standing alone in the sunset, filled with regret and pain with nowhere to vent.

Gu Yao is filled with anxiety and anger when she learns that Li Hao is still pursuing Lin Yue. She thought she had successfully won Li Hao's heart, but Lin Yue's indifference only makes him more persistent, making her worry that her position will be in jeopardy.

In order to consolidate her position, Gu Yao decided to take further action. She tried to find Lin Yue, create a "chance encounter", secretly instigate, and even spread rumors about Lin Yue in the company, trying to damage Lin Yue's reputation again.

One day, Gu Yao ran into Lin Yue in the company's tea room. She gave Lin Yue a meaningful smile and said provocatively, "Lin Yue, your return seems to have made many people uneasy. Everyone is talking about your recent behavior. Aren't you really worried that you will be isolated?"

Lin Yue glanced at her coldly and responded without showing any weakness: "Gu Yao, I have long seen through your tactics. You want to destroy me with rumors, that's fine, but I won't be easily influenced by you again."

Gu Yao's face changed. She suppressed her inner displeasure and continued to provoke, "Lin Yue, no matter how much you pretend not to care, I have already occupied an irreplaceable position in Li Hao's life. His trust and dependence are something I have worked hard to gain, and it can't be easily taken away by your indifference."

Lin Yue's eyes were cold. He ignored her provocation and turned away, leaving Gu Yao standing there angrily, gritting her teeth, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

As time went by, Li Hao became increasingly aware that he had lost Lin Yue. Her coldness and determination gradually made him realize that some mistakes, once made, could never be undone. Despite his utmost efforts to make amends, Lin Yue's attitude towards him remained as cold as ice, leaving him feeling completely powerless.

By chance, Li Hao ran into Zhang Kai downstairs at the company. The two chatted about the past. Zhang Kai, seeing how haggard he looked, couldn't help but advise him, "Haozi, some feelings are truly irretrievable once they're missed. Perhaps you should learn to let go and start a new life."

A flash of pain flashed in Li Hao's eyes, and he nodded silently. He knew the damage he had done to Lin Yue was irreparable, and Gu Yao's lies and manipulation were unbearable. He resolved to completely eliminate Gu Yao from his life and find his own future, even if the road was lonely. He would atone for his mistakes.

Gu Yao noticed Li Hao's alienation and was filled with panic. She could no longer tolerate Li Hao's indifference to her as a stranger. She was unwilling to lose Li Hao like this and tried every means to win back his trust.

One day, she took the initiative to find Li Hao, trying to explain her previous "misunderstanding" and asking for his forgiveness with gentle words. However, Li Hao's eyes were cold and distant, as if he had already seen through her true face.

"Gu Yao, I don't want to hear any more explanations. I have already seen through your methods. From now on, there will be no connection between us." Li Hao's voice was cold and resolute.

Gu Yao's face paled, her eyes filled with despair and anger. She had never imagined that everything she had painstakingly built would be destroyed in an instant, and Li Hao's indifference had completely deprived her of hope. She felt a surge of resentment, but she was helpless and could only watch as Li Hao's back gradually receded.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue has completely let go of her past relationships and is focusing on her career. She works diligently, and her life has gradually returned to a peaceful and fulfilling state. She has even made some new friends. No longer haunted by the pain of the past, she is now filled with hope for the future.

One day, during her lunch break, she accidentally received a message from Li Hao. It was short and sincere: "Lin Yue, I'm sorry. Thank you for appearing in my life. I wish you all the best."

Lin Yue looked at the message, her heart calmed down, she smiled slightly, and gently put the phone down. She knew that the past relationship had become a memory, and her life had just begun.
