Chapter 31: Do You Love Me?

“Chen, have you ever truly loved someone before?” Yun Ruoxi gently asked as she put her hand over his chest. This heart of his, had it ever had a place for someone?

“I love you,” Ye Chen faintly said as his eyes swept over the pale hand on his chest.

Love, what was that?

For him, it was an extravagance.

As the people whom he loved would eventually leave him, Ye Chen had learned since young not to love anyone.

Since separation was inevitable, why did one have to love another?

If one did not love, one would not feel sadness when separating. There would be no sorrow, no tears, no self-isolation, something fools would do, and neither would one lose the courage to live.

He had had enough pain from losing his loved ones.

His mother, sister… and who else? He could not quite remember clearly, but he knew there were other people who had left him. Although he could not recall who those people were, one thing he was sure of was that all of them left him.

He tried to keep them from leaving, but his effort was all in vain, leaving him alone.

There was nothing left.

If Ye Chen could forget the coldness of night and the emptiness of loneliness, then that wouldn’t be too bad for him. He did not want to suffer another loss again.

Some people did not have the courage to afford a loss.

Yun Ruoxi smiled. Her gentle face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. “Nevertheless, I am happy that you are willing to let me stay with you for so many years.”

Ruoxi knew that Ye Chen did not love anyone.

Rumors were rife that she and Ye Chen were an item and had deep feelings for each other.

Ruoxi was left embarrassed as no man who truly loved his girlfriend would consistently have different partners.

Yun Ruoxi knew that Ye Chen was plain lonely.

Not only was Ye Chen lonely, but he also lacked a sense of security.

Ye Chen lacking a sense of security was ironic as he was iron-fisted and had great influence in the business world.

While Ye Chen’s insecurity was like a fantasy tale, Yun Ruoxi knew that Third Young Master Ye was indeed flawed as he had self-isolated himself for three years and suffered from a serious mental illness. He was indifferent to the entire world.

But Ruoxi occasionally felt that Ye Chen was waiting for somebody.

He often looked at her eyes, yet never kissed her. He, however, kissed her eyes in a gentle, loving way.

Only then did Yun Ruoxi feel that she was being cared for.

A woman’s intuition was often accurate. She knew that all the other women Ye Chen had had were stand-ins for someone. Despite her investigating for many years, she did not know who the women were standing in for.

Who exactly was that special somebody who left Ye Chen reminiscing until today?
