Chapter 127 Farewell

She was busy until after 10 p.m. before she had a chance to drink some water.

She glanced at her phone and suddenly remembered that Pei Muye hadn't come today.

I didn't send her a message either.

More than ten days have passed since he first came to the school.

He spends every day at school.

But Lin Xiyin knew that he still had to go to the company to work overtime every night after he got home.

She asked Pei Muye about this matter.

Yue Linze also told her that.

Lin Xiyin knew what Yue Linze meant.

She simply wanted to play the victim for Pei Muye and increase her favorability.

But Lin Xiyin had clearly told him not to waste his time on her.

But Pei Muye wouldn't listen.

Now, it seems he's finally listening.

I will no longer come to school.

That pursuit should have come to an end.

Lin Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up her lesson plan, and went to the classroom.

She didn't look at the audience at first; she was tidying up her things on the podium. When she looked up, she habitually looked at the back first.

Then he met Pei Muye's gaze.

Their eyes met, and Lin Xiyin paused for a moment before quickly looking away and beginning the lesson.

He's here again.

Lin Xiyin took a few seconds to compose herself and pretended not to see him.

After class, several students came over to ask questions.

Lin Xiyin's popularity remained high at the school, but after all, it was a top university, and most people still focused their thoughts and energy on their studies.

Lin Xiyin is a very good, professional and competent teacher.

Many people sought her advice.

Pei Muye sat in the last row, watching her surrounded by students.

Her skin was porcelain white, so white it seemed to glow.

A faint smile graced her face, softening her otherwise aloof demeanor, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with life.

Pei Muyi was reluctant to look away.

But when Lin Xiyin finished replying to the students' questions and looked up, Pei Muyi was already gone.

He appeared suddenly, and then disappeared just as suddenly.

Lin Xiyin returned to her office and worked for a while before going to have lunch.

Pei Muye was not seen again until the afternoon.

She thought that Pei Muyi was so busy, it would be best if he didn't come anymore.

But when she got off work, she saw Pei Muye in the parking lot.

Her car was towed away early this morning and was only delivered this afternoon.

"Get in my car." Pei Muye opened the car door. "As for your car... let's talk inside."

"No need." Lin Xiyin looked at him: "President Pei, don't waste any more time. We are all adults. There's no point in you doing this."

Pei Muye said, "There are some things I want to make clear to you today. Also, about your car... I'll help you deal with it and then buy you a new one."

"Pei Muyi!" Lin Xiyin was truly angry: "Can you please stop doing this?"

“I know you’re going to say I don’t respect you again. Ruan Ruan, this is the last time. We definitely need to change the car.” He pulled Lin Xiyin into the car: “Let’s talk in the car.”

Pei Muye changed his car; this time it had a partition.

The driver and Yue Linze, sitting in the front, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your car broke down so soon after you bought it?" Pei Muye said. "That shows it's unsafe."

Lin Xiyin said, "It was just a coincidence. A car that costs nearly 300,000 is already very good."

"Think about it, what if there's an accident while you're driving? Let's not even talk about you, what if there are children in the car?"

Lin Xiyin was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect the car to break down, after all, she had only bought it not long ago.

And it just so happened that Pei Muye saw it.

Fortunately, Chi Tianlin didn't know, otherwise that man would have had something to say.

"Ruanruan, my apology to you before wasn't sincere enough. I'll say it to you again."

"I'm sorry, I made many mistakes in the past."

Pei Muye looked down at her, his voice low and sincere.

Lin Xiyin lowered her head, looking at the pattern on her handbag, and didn't want to speak.

Pei Muye talked a lot, about their past, about all the little things that Lin Xiyin had forgotten, but Pei Muye still remembered.

He spoke of his indifference towards her, his misunderstandings of her, his rebukes of her…

Lin Xiyin was initially unmoved, but later, she didn't know which of his words touched her, and her nose tingled and her eyes reddened.

Actually, when Xiao Ruoyi told her that Pei Muyi liked her, she thought that maybe everything in the past was a misunderstanding.

But she didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding.

The old master of the Pei family originally wanted Pei Muye to marry Ming Qingwan, but Pei Muye himself wanted to marry Lin Xiyin.

With the old man wielding immense power, if Pei Muye wanted to obtain his consent, he would inevitably have to sign many unequal treaties.

One of the rules is to treat Ming Qingwan well and care for her like a younger sister.

He never had any other thoughts about Ming Qingwan; he simply respected his grandfather's instructions and took care of her.

His coldness towards her stemmed from his suspicion that she liked someone else and his dissatisfaction with the marriage.

After hearing so much, Lin Xiyin couldn't help but say, "If I don't approve of this marriage, I can't marry you!"

Pei Muye said a lot, and the more he talked, the more his heart sank.

I reflected on myself last night, and my heart is breaking.

But even now, talking about these things still hurts him.

How heartbroken was Lin Xiyin back then?

He didn't even dare to hope that Lin Xiyin would forgive him.

Hearing Lin Xiyin say something meant that she indirectly admitted that she was satisfied and liked him when she married him.

At this moment, Pei Muye almost cried tears of joy.

He was in so much pain last night that he didn't even know when his tears started flowing.

In his entire life, he had hardly ever cried.

The first time I cried as I grew up was because my grandfather passed away.

The next few times were all because of Lin Xiyin.

He never imagined that he, a strong and unyielding man, would be so vulnerable.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry, I only understand your heart now..."

His eyes were filled with tears as he reached out to pull Lin Xiyin.

Lin Xiyin dodged him.

Pei Muye paused for a few seconds, composed himself, and asked her, "Can you have a meal with me?"

Half an hour later, Lin Xiyin and he arrived at a restaurant.

The two had been to this restaurant before their divorce.

At that time, Pei Muye usually had a stern face.

Now, his face was full of caution.

There are two bottles of wine on the table.

The deep red wine gleamed with a unique luster under the light.

"Have a drink with me." Pei Muye poured the decanted wine into her glass.

The two of them ate Chinese food and drank red wine, which was a bit of an odd combination.

But he knew that Lin Xiyin didn't drink anything else, only occasionally a little red wine.

Lin Xiyin remained silent and didn't say much.

Pei Muyi served her food, and she ate it mechanically.

Pei Muyi clinked glasses with her, and she drank a little.

Perhaps, deep down, she also wants to say goodbye to her past self and that past relationship.

Tonight, the two of them had a completely open and honest conversation, without holding anything back.

She hoped that Pei Muye could calmly and rationally end everything tomorrow.

She and he had nothing to do with each other anymore.

But as time went by, Pei Muyi seemed to have drunk quite a bit.

He sat down next to Lin Xiyin and recounted the past in fits and starts.

He hugged Lin Xiyin without her noticing, but it wasn't the usual kind of hug.

Instead, he bent down and rubbed his cheek against Lin Xiyin's neck.

He wrapped his arms around her waist.

This was the first time the two of them had been this close since they broke up.

Lin Xiyin immediately tried to push him away, but she felt his tears through her skin.

It was only warm, but when it landed on her neck, it felt scalding hot.

This man gave her many firsts.

The first hug, the first holding hands, the first kiss...

Now, he used this method again to let her feel his tears.

At that moment, Lin Xiyin couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

She knew, however, that she could no longer push him away at this moment.

Whether you call her kind or soft-hearted, she herself seems unable to find a reason for it.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she realized that Pei Muye had fallen asleep on top of her.

They were on a bench. She helped him lie down on the bench and put his suit jacket under his head.

When she came out, she found Yue Linze standing outside the private room.

"He's asleep." She told Yue Linze, "I'm leaving."

Yue Linze stopped her: "President Pei hasn't been able to rest properly lately. For a while, she only got two or three hours of sleep a day, and last night she barely slept at all."

Lin Xiyin straightened her back and said in an icy voice, "What does this have to do with me?"

Yue Linze paused, and Lin Xiyin left after finishing her sentence.

When I got home, I saw Chi Tianlin there.

He was playing games with the children.

Lin Xiyin appeared in the entryway. Chi Tianlin looked over and strode over, asking, "Are you crying? What happened?"

Lin Xiyin didn't want to say a word, and reluctantly kissed Lin Youxing, who was leaning in for a hug.

She said, "I'm feeling a little unwell, thank you for looking after me."

After saying that, she went into the bedroom after speaking to Aunt Zhao.

She didn't know when Chi Tianlin left.

But later, he sent her a message.

He said that no matter what, you should never let yourself be wronged.

Lin Xiyin's tears flowed again.

She once spent three years mourning her unrequited love.

But she only now realized that Pei Muyi also liked her.

However, she felt neither relieved nor at ease; in fact, she felt even more aggrieved.

All of this sounds so ironic.

What a cruel joke God played on her.

It caused her torment, pain, and unbearable suffering.

Then tell her that it was all a lie.

What about those six years of hers?

She suffered for three years during her marriage and then spent three years as a single mother.

But fate told her that she was supposed to have a happy and fulfilling family life.

After crying, Lin Xiyin wiped away her tears.

This is not Pei Muye's fault alone.

She remained silent in front of Pei Muye and never mentioned her feelings for him.

He misunderstood himself, which led to his subsequent indifference and detachment.

It takes two to tango.

Both of them have their faults.

But what's past is past.

For three years, neither she nor Pei Muye had been able to express their feelings for each other.

The two of them were ultimately not a good match.

That wasn't the married life she had hoped for and longed for.

Since she said she had let go, she had never thought that she would have any further contact with Pei Muyi.

Now everything is clear, and the scars in her heart are finally ready to heal.

Goodbye to the past.
