Chapter 196 - I Have No Feelings for You

Chapter 196: Chapter 208 I Have No Feelings for YouLin Ruonan’s face turned completely pale upon hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, the phrase "impossible" echoing in her ears. She instinctively asked, "Why is it impossible between us?"

This was the question buried in her heart for over a decade. She never had the courage to ask it aloud, fearing the answer she didn’t want to hear.

But now that Mu Xingfeng had spoken, she couldn’t help but ask.

She had loved him for almost twenty years. In these twenty years, she had completely lost herself, always following in his footsteps, even aligning all her likes with his preferences.

But now he told her that it was impossible between them. She was unwilling to accept it; she didn’t understand where the problem was.

Mu Xingfeng turned his head to look at Lin Ruonan. Her face, elegantly delicate, was filled with pain and unwillingness, her dark eyes shimmering with tears.

This was the first time he truly faced her, and the first time he saw her so fragile. Yet, seeing her like this, his heart didn’t stir even a bit.

From this moment on, he realized that the rumors in the courtyard weren’t just idle talk. He believed what Lin Junyang said, that his sister had liked him for many years, but what he confirmed even more was that he had no feelings for her.

"Ruonan, I have no feelings for you. Don’t waste your time on me anymore."

Since he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t give her any hope—this was Mu Xingfeng’s style, though such words were hurtful.

Sure enough, after hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, Lin Ruonan’s face turned even paler, tears streaming down her cheeks. She bit her lip hard, not making a sound, standing there trembling slightly.

"Second Brother, what the hell are you talking about?"

The hospital room door suddenly opened, and Gu Haoyu rushed in, his heart aching beyond words as he looked at Lin Ruonan.

Mu Xingfeng closed his eyes and said, "I thought Brother would turn around and leave again. Not bad this time, worthy of encouragement."

"Second Brother." Gu Haoyu’s icy eyes looked at the person on the hospital bed, not knowing what to say.

"Since Brother is here, please take her back. By the way, if you have anyone idle, arrange for them to visit me. You guys have been really inconsiderate, disappearing for two days. Do you want me to rot here?" Mu Xingfeng opened his eyes, with a hint of mockery, making Gu Haoyu feel guilty.

They had agreed not to show up these past few days. They understood Lin Ruonan’s feelings for Mu Xingfeng very clearly. Since the Lin Family wanted Lin Ruonan to take this chance to cultivate feelings with Mu Xingfeng while he was recuperating, they wouldn’t get in the way.

From their understanding of Mu Xingfeng, if he could let Lin Ruonan take care of everything, they would almost certainly end up together.

If that were the case, he would rather keep his secret forever, as long as he could see her happiness, that would be enough.

But who knew, when he arrived outside today, he heard Mu Xingfeng say those words to Lin Ruonan, and saw such a strong girl being knocked down to the point where she almost couldn’t stand. He couldn’t bear it anymore.

Moreover, hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, he knew that Mu Xingfeng probably didn’t have any feelings for Lin Ruonan. Being such a clean freak, Mu Xingfeng would rather put up with not cleaning for two days than let Lin Ruonan touch anything, which was enough to see that he truly had no interest in her.

"Assistant Qi, stay here and take care of Young Master Mu. I’ll take Miss Lin home." Gu Haoyu stepped forward and gently embraced Lin Ruonan, saying to Qi Wei behind him.

"Yes, BOSS." Qi Wei responded while opening the hospital room door. Watching Gu Haoyu leave, his heart also felt quite uneasy.
