Chapter 821: He knows that she is his angel.

Yes, it’s all worth it!
Tang Xiaoyu repeated to herself as if in self-hypnosis. The expression on her face grew more and more certain.
She sat there in a daze and only returned to herself when she heard a deep, masculine voice by her ears.
“Why are you sitting here?”
She quickly got up off the couch with a smile when she heard the voice of the man who held her heart.
“Zhengrong, you’re back!”
She walked toward the man in a dark-blue suit, happiness evident on her face.
The man mumbled a reply before tugging at his necktie.
So good looking!
Watching the man’s candid behavior, she became starstruck.
Even though she had been with the man for so many years, she still could not help but be dazzled by him.
“Do you have something to tell me?”
The man asked once he was done removing the necktie. One of his eyebrows arched a little.
“En, en, en! I have something very important to tell you.”
She nodded heavily as the man’s question brought her back to her senses.
“Something important? What is it?”
“It’s…” She took a deep breath, and as if having made up her mind, a smile blossomed on her lips. “My best friend, Pei Ge, is getting married!”
The moment he heard that, the man who was putting away his necktie froze.
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at his actions, she clenched her hand into a fist behind her back.
He… is quite smart. He’s probably guessed it already…
She dipped her head, smiling bitterly.
What she had been worried about came true.
Still, given how intelligent this man was, how could she possibly keep him in the dark for long?
The only consolation was that her best friend neither knew nor liked this man. He did not have the chance to be with Pei Ge. She, in contrast, had the rest of her life to get into his heart.
With that thought, the gloominess in her faded a little. She lifted her head up and carried the same smile as before. It was as if she had not been affected by his behavior.
“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Don’t you remember Pei Ge? I told you about her before. Her boyfriend is amazing! I think she rescued a planet in her last life to get someone like that!”
She joked with him.
Who knew that the man would suddenly chide her, though?
“Isn’t she your best friend? Why are you talking about her like that? To me, there’s no such thing as compatibility in dating. The only thing that matters is if there’s love,” the man coldly rebuked. Tossing his necktie on the couch, he headed toward the door.
She only recovered from the man’s earlier words when she saw him leaving.
“Zhengrong, where are you going?”
“Back to the office. Overtime,” the man replied coldly. He wore his leather shoes again.
“Haven’t you just got here? What overtime!”
The man merely walked away without replying, however.
Watching him walk away resolutely, her eyes dimmed.
“Gu Zhengrong… am I not good enough? Why are you always unresponsive to me? He he… What kind of couple are we like this?”
Once the door was shut tightly, a tear slipped down her face.
Her expression at this moment was so saddening and heartbreaking.
“Almost a decade…. I’ve been by your side for almost a decade. Even if you’re a piece of rock, you ought to have a reaction by now.”
She smiled bitterly, overwhelmed by sadness.
How could she let go of almost ten years’ worth of feelings just like this?
She… really loved him.
She had fallen in love with that resilient, independent young man ten years ago.
‘Ge Ge, I’ll write all the letters to him in the future!’
‘Eh, why? I think it’s more fun for us to write the replies together!’
‘It’s just… It’s just… I don’t think you like writing to him, anyway! In any case, only one person is needed to write a letter! Your English is great, so just let me practice with him! My English is terrible!’
‘Oh, okay. Sure.’
‘Really? I love you so much!’
‘He he! Still, Xiaoyu, I don’t get it. If you want to work on your English, you can just come to me. Why—’
‘I’m gonna write a reply now! I’ll talk to you later! He he!’
A warm smile appeared on her face as her eyes became filled with love.
“No matter what, I won’t give up,” she muttered, becoming increasingly sure of herself.
Besides, she had not lied to him back then. Other than the first few times Pei Ge had replied to his letter, she was the one replying to all his letters afterward.
Moreover, once the Pei family went bankrupt, her family took on sponsoring him…
The person in his heart was clearly her, no?
“Zhengrong, one day, you’ll realize that the person you love from the start is me.”
Her lips upturned a little, her eyes certain.
“Still… When did he find out that Pei Ge is his angel, and… how did he know in the first place?”
The man that she was thinking about was currently sitting in his car. Opening the glove box, he took a small phone from it.
After the phone started up, he keyed in the password and unlocked the screen.
His fingers slid across the screen and then he began spacing out at a photo of a woman.
The photo had none other than Pei Ge, whose pictures had been spreading on the internet.
“Angel…”
