Chapter 376 - 260: Heartless

Chapter 376: Chapter 260: Heartless

More than five years had passed, and he was no longer the man she remembered... Time, for women, was like poison, but for men, it was akin to honey.

Five years ago, he had been naive and tender, like many young men studying abroad, refined yet exuding an indescribable frailty, trustworthy yet unreliable.

Five years later, he had matured and become handsome, replaced by a steely, irresistible charm of a true man, undaunted even after being locked up for half a month, without a hint of despair or defeat.

He sat there, his posture erect, his profile sharp and perfectly sculpted like it was chiseled by a knife and ax. How had she failed to discover and cherish such a treasure before?

"Mimi..." her voice so trembling that she could hardly recognize it, and inexplicably, tears rolled down her cheeks like loose pearls, soaking her neck and dampening her collar.

Zhou Mikang furrowed his brows, turned his head, and looked emotionlessly at the crying woman, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

"Mimi..." The woman took another step forward, "I’m Meiru, don’t you recognize me?"

"Get out!" Zhou Mikang coldly stared at her, "Try stepping forward again, just try!" His gaze and tone were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

Ye Meiru widened her eyes in disbelief, "Mimi, I heard your family was in trouble, and I came to see you as soon as I could. Do you hate me that much?"

"Call me Zhou Mikang!" Zhou Mikang looked at her without a trace of emotion, "Between us, things had already ended cleanly, you have no right to come see me."

"Indeed..." Ye Meiru hung her head, "You really still hate me. I’ve already acknowledged my mistake, I’ve known for a long time now. In fact, I’ve wanted to come back and apologize to you long ago, of course, I know that an apology is not enough to make up for what I’ve done, so this time, I will definitely help you. Mimi, you have to believe me, I will help you."

"Who is outside?" Zhou Mikang shouted outside, "Take this woman away!"

No one answered, and no one came in.

Zhou Mikang, furious, grabbed the tea caddy from the table and hurled it toward the doorway. With a loud "bang!" the tea caddy hit the door frame, and the water splashed, wetting a large area in front of the door.

Liu Jun and Wang Xiaoguang exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness. It wasn’t that they were intentionally playing dead, but they had to.

Indeed, they were tasked by Old Master Wan to watch over Zhou Mikang, but the woman who had just entered had a special permit in her hand that carried significant weight.

The author of that permit was someone they, even Elder Wan, could not afford to confront directly.

"Bang!" "Ping!"

Liu Jun and Wang Xiaoguang, wondering what to do next, stared at the woman sitting on the ground and the tightly shut door, their mouths agape for a long time without closing...

"Zhou Mikang!" Ye Meiru climbed up from the ground and rushed toward the doorway, Liu Jun and Wang Xiaoguang quickly blocked the door together, "Comrade Ye, look, maybe let Colonel Zhou cool down a bit before talking?" Wang Xiaoguang said while bowing, "Please! Please!"

"Move aside!" Ye Meiru, furious and flushed, was still basking in the joy of their reunion when he had abruptly thrown her out. No matter how gravely she had erred previously, he should not have treated her this way!

Once, he had cherished her tenderly, warming water for her feet when it was cold, fanning her at midnight during hot nights, fetching whatever she craved just by her coaxing him a bit in his room, no matter the time...

Such love, even after six years, surely hadn’t dissipated to this extent, had it?

If he treated her this way out of spite, then he was even more of a coward!

Bearing the pain of being kicked, Liu Jun continued to persuade her soothingly: "Comrade Ye, calm down, Colonel Zhou has been inside for so long, it’s natural for him to be a bit irritable. Please don’t add fuel to the fire.

He doesn’t want to see anyone right now, please cooperate, okay? How about this, as soon as Colonel Zhou is in a good mood, I’ll call you immediately to come over, okay?"

"No!" Ye Meiru snorted coldly, "Which phone will you call me from?"

"Of course, from the Ye family’s." Liu Jun hurriedly replied, "I have the Ye family’s phone number registered here, rest assured, I will definitely call you, or else I can ask for you every day to see if Colonel Zhou wants to see you, and if he agrees, I’ll notify you, okay?"

After a long silence, Ye Meiru sighed deeply, "Forget it, I came too abruptly, he didn’t have time to prepare mentally, I’ll give him some time. I’ll come again tomorrow." Saying this, she turned and staggered away.
