I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 339 Clarifying the Misunderstanding
Hua Hongshan was wearing a thin gray turtleneck sweater.

Wei Lin sprayed a mouthful of water over her, soaking a large area of ​​her back.

She immediately turned around, glaring angrily at Wei Lin.

"Cough cough, sorry! I drank too fast and accidentally choked!"

Wei Lin quickly apologized.

He used 80 points of life essence to perform a mind-reading technique and finally figured out the problem.

Yesterday, in order to present a piece of his business, he touched Hua Hongshan's finger, making her mistakenly think that he was flirting with her.

She was full of anticipation, hoping that she could launch an offensive.

After all, her favorability rating had transformed into love, and she had developed genuine feelings for him.

In this situation, she waited silently for him to take the initiative to pursue her.

When she realized she had taken action, she was actually happy.

She thought that their relationship could finally take a step further, but her chance encounter with Teacher Mu that night, coupled with Liu Yue's exaggerated words, made her resentful and caused her affection to gradually diminish.

Now that we know the reason, things are much easier.

"Are you doing this on purpose again?!"

Hua Hongshan used the word "again," biting her pearly white teeth, and said angrily, "Wei Lin, what exactly do you want? What have I done to offend you? Why do you treat me like this time and time again?"

She was baffled that water would spray all over her when she drank it.

The office air conditioning was on and the temperature was set high, but she still felt discomfort in her back. She said, "You know best what kind of person you are! I have to make it clear to you, our relationship can only ever be professional, nothing more!"

Enraged, she immediately brought the matter to light to prevent Wei Lin from having any further improper thoughts.

—Because she felt that Wei Lin spraying the mineral water from his mouth was also a way of teasing her.

"President Hua, it seems there's been some misunderstanding between us."

Wei Lin returned to the seat opposite her, smiling as he looked at her wary face, and explained, "You're right about one thing: we're just business partners. From the very beginning, when I joined Qingque, it was because I saw Qingque's potential and believed that Qingque had great prospects; there were no other factors involved!"

Wei Lin spoke these words with absolute certainty.

Hua Hongshan was taken aback.

Wei Lin paused for a moment, then said, "I have a girlfriend, but she's not the one Liu Yue met yesterday. She's my mother's colleague, and she teaches at Linjiang University. We really just bumped into each other last night."

When Liu Yue saw me, she asked me to come to the door to talk and advised me to give up my feelings for you.

"Heh, what could I possibly want from you? Have I ever pursued you? Have I ever sent you any flirtatious messages? Have I ever asked you out for dinner or a movie in private?"

"No way?!"

Wei Lin raised his voice.

The reason he declared that he had a girlfriend was that he didn't want to hide it, but rather to make things clear and open.

Hua Hongshan remained silent. Could it be that he had taken the opportunity to touch her finger yesterday, which was a form of flirting and pursuing her?

"Liu Yue's words are unpleasant to hear, and she has always been hostile towards me, so I can't be bothered to pay attention to her."

“My friend was so curious that he thought Liu Yue was my ex-girlfriend. When he saw me say a few words to her and then leave, he chased after me to ask her.”

“I had to leave in a hurry, and she couldn’t keep up, so she started jogging. She accidentally stepped on a stone and almost fell, so I turned around and helped her up.”

"That's all!"

Wei Lin grinned coldly and said, "This little thing, when Liu Yue said it, suddenly turned into me and someone having a date at the City Bookstore! If it really was a date, we should have been sitting together from the beginning, not at two desks far apart!"

"Mr. Hua, I'm not saying this for any other reason than to let you know that I, Wei Lin, have a girlfriend, but it's not the one from last night."

"Also! Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Hua, I have no other feelings for you, not now, and not ever!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Lin didn't hesitate any longer and said, "Sorry, I got your shirt wet. I'll go now, you can change your clothes here and take care of yourself."

He decisively withdrew and left.

……

"So you admit you have a girlfriend? You have no feelings for me, not now, and you never will?"

"Was that woman from last night just a friend? Should I believe him, or Liu Yue?"

"Does he really have no feelings for me? If he does, why is he being so clear and direct about it? What exactly does he mean?"

As soon as Wei Lin left, Hua Hongshan was immediately thrown into a state of confusion.

Her back was wet, but she didn't deal with it immediately. Instead, she sat there blankly in her seat.

Gradually, Hua Hongshan felt a deep sadness and regret, realizing that she had probably misunderstood Wei Lin and that her feelings were one-sided.

She also knew that her best friend's words weren't very reliable; perhaps due to her profession as a lawyer, Liu Yue was good at distorting the truth.

In particular, Wei Lin openly admitted that he has a girlfriend. If the woman last night really was Wei Lin's girlfriend, he could have openly admitted it.

"Liu Yue must have misunderstood, and I misunderstood as well, but..."

Hua Hongshan sighed sadly.

Wei Lin's explicit statement that he had no feelings for her hurt her pride. "I was overthinking it. I think I've been bewitched lately, completely infatuated with him."

"Sigh, he already has a girlfriend, and he really hasn't sent me any ambiguous messages. It's all my fault for projecting my own feelings onto him."

Although Hua Hongshan was anxious and uncertain, she no longer blamed Wei Lin.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Simin Law Firm.

In Liu Yue's personal office.

She was in a great mood today, having successfully repaired her broken sisterly relationship with Hua Hongshan, and the two had become best friends again, able to talk about anything.

She's making progress on one of her cases, and she's confident she can win that lawsuit.

Furthermore, because of her tipping off Wei Lin, Hua Hongshan finally gave up on him completely.

"Yueyue, are you still busy?"

Master Zhang Simin gently knocked on the door and walked in with a smile.

Looking at her apprentice, whom she had personally mentored and who was now her partner, Zhang Simin said, "Work is work, and life is life. Yueyue, you can't just focus on work; you should also think about your own marriage."

Liu Yue comes from a well-off family, and he knows his parents.

Not long after graduating from university, Liu Yue was arranged by her parents to work as his assistant.

When he went out on his own and prepared to start his own law firm, he didn't have enough funds. It was Liu Yue's parents who provided the money, making Liu Yue his partner.

He treated Liu Yue, his apprentice, as a junior.

Over the years, Liu Yue has been very serious and responsible at work, and her personal abilities are also commendable, but he has never heard of Liu Yue having a boyfriend.

Today, he suddenly heard some rumors from the office, saying that Liu Yue had an ex-boyfriend who made hats, and that he seemed to have hurt Liu Yue deeply, making her still unable to forget him.

Zhang Simin suddenly realized that the reason Liu Yue hadn't dated anyone in recent years was because of her ex-boyfriend Wei Lin!

As his mentor and elder, he felt obligated to advise Liu Yue, since Liu Yue's parents were also very anxious and had brought it up repeatedly, hoping that he could help Liu Yue find a suitable partner.

"Master, I don't want to date for now, and I haven't met the right person."

Liu Yue chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly, "I'm usually so busy that I can't even take care of my work, so why would I want to date? Our firm is in its golden age of development, and right now I just want to focus on my career."

Zhang Simin sighed inwardly, thinking that Yueyue still hadn't moved on, and said, "Yueyue, let bygones be bygones. People can't dwell on the past; we have to look forward."

Liu Yue asked in surprise, "Master, you're acting strange today?"

“I’ve heard about it. His name is Wei Lin, right? The hat company, Xinlin Hat Industry, right?” Zhang Simin squinted, her face full of concern, and said, “I heard he’s quite handsome and tall. Yueyue, there are plenty of men like him in Linjiang City. I can introduce you to someone better.”

"How long have you two been dating? How did you develop such deep feelings for each other?"

"It's been so long, why can't you forget him? What's so good about Wei Lin?"

Zhang Simin asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her head buzzing.

Her once pretty face contorted in anger, and she roared, "Kong Dong, right? Was it Kong Dong who said this?"

Zhang Simin didn't know who it was, and said, "I heard it from someone else."

"Others?! Everyone in our firm knows?"

Liu Yue was going crazy.

Kong Dong kept saying she would keep it a secret, but then she told someone else, and now even her master knows. Doesn't that mean everyone knows?
The key point is, she and Wei Lin have nothing!

How come in Master Zhang Simin's mouth, Liu Yue became a woman abandoned by Wei Lin? It seems that she was the one who had been entangled with Wei Lin for many years?

"Where is Kong Dong?!"

Liu Yue suddenly stood up, ready to call Kong Dong over immediately.

“He’s out on business, he’s not at our office.” Zhang Simin looked at her, and seeing her exasperated expression, she felt the information was quite reliable.

"Sister Yueyue, someone is looking for you!"

Just then, the company receptionist led a tall, imposing man to her office.

"Wei Lin!"

Liu Yue screamed in shock.

"Wei Lin?"

"Is he Wei Lin? Ms. Liu's ex-boyfriend?"

"Is this the Mr. Liu he abandoned? The one Mr. Liu still refuses to look for? Indeed, he is tall and handsome, no wonder Mr. Liu has been unable to forget him for so many years."

Many people at Simin Law Firm had heard the rumors about Liu Yue, and when she called out Wei Lin's name, they all craned their necks to look.

Liu Yue had sharp ears and overheard the whispers. At that moment, the flames of anger in her heart were completely ignited.
