A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

Cheng Weiwan already had her head down and was no longer looking up at the building.

About one or two seconds later, she turned around and walked over to the gates of the residential area.

She walked slowly and she paused every few steps.

There was one time when she stopped for a particularly long time. He thought she was going to look back, but she didn’t and eventually continued walking.

It took her a very long time to walk just fifty meters and leave his line of sight.

“Zhifan?” cried Lin Na who couldn’t help but say his name after finally noticing that he wasn’t reacting to all the effort she put into teasing him.

Han Zhifan lowered his head and glanced at Lin Na, who was full of anticipation. He didn’t say anything as Lin Na tiptoed in an attempt to kiss him. He took a step back and pulled her off his body. “I have some things to deal with. You should go get some sleep first.”

After he said this, Han Zhifan didn’t wait for Lin Na to react. He turned around and walked out the bedroom door.

Didn’t he make the first move? Why’s he now rejecting me?

Lin Na erupted in anger. “Zhifan?!”

Han Zhifan pretended to not have heard her and continued walking.

“Han Zhifan!” Lin Na was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Han Zhifan closed the bedroom door, leaving Lin Na behind. He headed to his home office.

Lin Na put on her bathrobe to cover up her body then went after him, but before she could reach the door to his home office, she heard the lock clicking from the inside.

She angrily walked over to the door and forcefully pounded on the door a few times. There wasn’t a single peep coming from the door as the man inside showed no signs of opening the door.

“Han Zhifan, what do you mean by this?! You called me over! You’ve taken things too far!”

Lin Na was annoyed that her hand was hurting from pounding the door, so she grabbed a clay object and smashed it at the tightly-shut door.

Han Zhifan stood on the balcony of his office and stared down below the building, without paying any attention to the crazy woman beyond the door.

...

After that night, Han Zhifan didn’t receive any messages from the security guard again.

Just as Han Zhifan thought Cheng Weiwan had completely disappeared from his world, he accidentally bumped into Chen Bai at a business dinner and heard news about her.

He didn’t hear the news at the dinner table; it was when he went out for a cigarette. That was when he happened to see Chen Bai as he stepped out of the restroom and walked over to him.

Out of habit, Chen Bai was very polite to Han Zhifan, just as he was with He Jichen. “Mr. Han.”

Han Zhifan glanced at Chen Bai but didn’t say a word and handed him the pack of cigarettes.

Chen Bai shook his head and didn’t take it.

The two of them didn’t say anything for a while. When his cigarette was almost finished, Chen Bai suddenly said, “She left Beijing a week ago. Did you know?”

Chen Bai didn’t say who “She” was, but Han Zhifan, who had a cigarette in his mouth, finally got it after a while. Chen Bai was talking about Cheng Weiwan.

He didn’t utter a word. Chen Bai was silent for a while before he continued to say, “Miss Ji told me Cheng Weiwan only said goodbye to her.”

Han Zhifan shuddered slightly with the cigarette in his mouth as the ashes drifted away.

“Miss Ji said that she sold her apartment in Beijing, handled everything she could, and threw everything away that she couldn’t deal with.”

Chen Bai paused for a few seconds then said, “I think this time, like Mr. He, she doesn’t have any plans on returning.”
