Chapter 298 I Just Can't Accept It

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if Mo Xue hadn't reminded me to be wary of Wen Xi, I wouldn't be 100% sure to trust you on this matter."

"But it's precisely because of Mo Xue's reminder, and Wen Xi telling you about her pregnancy at this critical moment, that I think there must be something fishy going on."

"Think about it, Wenxi has liked you for many years, but she knows that you and I are married and in love. Forcing her to marry you will definitely not lead to any results. Besides, she is also an intellectual and a lady from a noble family. She will definitely not do anything too impulsive in public."

"So... she can only pretend. She pretends to be a friend in front of you, a good person in front of me, and a good girl in front of Xing Zhonghua. In front of everyone, she maintains a perfect persona of gentleness and kindness."

"Now that I think about it, she's quite capable. To gain my trust, I let down my guard and even helped me with so many things. I was completely fooled by her 'kindness'. She used that tactic of retreating to advance with such ease."

"Now that Song Yanzheng is dead, there's nothing that stands in the way of our relationship. Plus, we're getting married soon, so she couldn't hold back and decided to take action."

Lin Yan analyzed the situation methodically: "I guess there are two possibilities. The first is that Wenxi is not pregnant at all and wants to use a fake pregnancy to destroy our relationship. Then she can find an excuse and say that the baby was accidentally aborted."

"In the second scenario, Wenxi is indeed pregnant, but it's not your child. She's just trying to use the sperm to blackmail you."

"Well, that's about it..."

Xing Yu sorted everything out: "So, you just wanted to calm Wenxi down first, make her think that you believed this fact, make her think that I have a conflict with you, so that she will let down her guard and reveal more flaws?"

Lin Yan: "Yes, since she loves acting, then we will continue to act with her. I have our baby in my belly now, no one can destroy my family, let alone take my man away."

Xing Yu felt a mixture of sadness, emotion, relief and happiness in his heart.

He slowly raised his head and stroked her palm: "Then, wife, I will listen to you about what to do next."

"Wenxi will definitely come looking for you again. We have to continue the act. It's probably like I want to divorce you, but you refuse to do so. Let her mistakenly think that the conflict between us is getting worse. Then we can find the right opportunity to expose her."

"But..." Lin Yan paused deliberately and smiled: "Next time I will hit you more gently and not so hard."

Xing Yu looked at the smile in her eyes, and the haze in his heart completely dissipated: "As long as your hands don't hurt, you can hit me as much as you want."

Lin Yan glared at him, "You hit me casually? I'm still hurt. Okay, get up now. Don't kneel anymore. Your legs are already uncomfortable, don't bother with them."

Xing Yu stood up, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

I had a lot to say, but in the end I only said four words.

"It's great to have you."

Lin Yan hugged him back: "You are fine, so I will be fine."

"Ayan, thank you..."

"Xing Yu, if there are problems, solve them. The purpose of problems is not to separate us, but to make our relationship stronger. As long as we are open-minded, caring, and trust each other, we will definitely get better and better."

…

After leaving Xing Yu's house, Wenxi drove home.

She was absent-minded all the way.

It was not until she got home and saw a sports car parked at the entrance of the community with a tall figure leaning next to the car that she came back to her senses.

Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously tried to avoid it, but before she could turn the steering wheel, the man rushed over and stood straight in the middle of the road, blocking her way.

The sharp sound of brakes was heard. Wenxi gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, looking at the man in front of him in shock.

Through the windshield, Wenxi met his eyes. He was wearing a black leather jacket, and his tightly pursed lips and hard jaw hinted at a cold expression.

Wenxi opened the car door and walked towards him: "Mu Xiao, if I had braked a little slower, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

Mu Xiao stared at her, his eyes bloodshot, and his sickly voice rang out slowly: "You didn't answer the phone, didn't reply to WeChat, and you're hiding from me. What do you mean, sister?"

"It's nothing."

He took two steps forward, approached her, and curled his lips: "It's been more than three months. How many times have I called you and sent you messages? Are you pretending not to see them? You told me not to go to the hospital to disturb you, and I didn't go to your workplace to look for you. You asked me to give you time to digest and calm down, and I also gave you enough space..."

"But what do you mean, sister? Are you going to throw me away after sleeping with me? You don't want me anymore?"

The last sentence made Wenxi's heart tremble.

She turned her face away from his sight, thinking of that night a few months ago, and those beautiful scenes emerged in her mind uncontrollably.

The deafening music in the bar, the alcohol-corroded brain and reason, Mu Xiao's crazy and scorching body temperature, and her own absurd indulgence in treating him as Xing Yu...

"Mu Xiao, it's my fault." Wen Xi lowered her voice, with a deliberate distance: "I was in a bad mood at the time, so that night... I drank too much. I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"You're in a bad mood, so you treat me as entertainment? You treat me as another man, right?"

Wenxi's throat was dry, and after a moment's pause, he said in a calm tone, "It has already happened. I have no other choice but to say sorry to you."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the car door.

Mu Xiao quickly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and pushed her against the car.

He was so strong that my back hurt. I struggled to push him away and said, "Let me go!"

Mu Xiao did not let go, but held her tightly in his arms.

"Wenxi... can't you see me? I've been chasing you from abroad to China for so long, can't you see my sincerity? You said you don't like boyish boys, but I've been trying to change! I've been learning business knowledge from my grandfather, spending every day in the company looking at financial statements, and I've been trying to make myself more mature..."

His eyes slowly turned red, and he buried his head in grievance: "I never understood before. I pursued you for so long... why didn't you even turn around and look at me. Until that night... you called Xing Yu's name, you mistook me for him... I finally understood, it turns out that he is so important to you..."

Wenxi simply gave up struggling, slowly let her hands hang down on both sides of her legs, and let him hold her.

But her eyes were colorless, and she opened her lips and spoke wearily.

"Yes... I just like him... I started liking him the first time I saw him at the Xing family's house when I was sixteen. Later, he joined the army, and I thought I would confess my love to him when he was discharged... But what I waited for was that he ran to the bottom of the Yishuo building every day, and every day he followed Lin Yan silently behind him..."

"I just found out... he has someone he loves... so I went abroad to study medicine, far away from home, hoping to completely cut off this secret love in my heart... but it's no use..."

"Every time I return to China, I go to Uncle Xing's place to inquire about him. I learned that he left Jingbei and opened a boxing gym in Longping. I've sneaked in to see him more than once... Just standing across the street and watching him is enough for me..."

"I told myself that after I finished my studies abroad, I would return to China and tell him what was in my heart... But when I came back and went to Longping to look for him, I found that Lin Yan had also returned from Jingbei..."

"At that moment, I realized that he had been waiting for her, waiting for Lin Yan in that small town..."

"I quit again... so I stayed abroad all these years and never came back. Until last year, Uncle Xing called to tell me that Xing Yu had injured his leg and he and Lin Yan had broken up... and asked me to go back and take care of him... I agreed without hesitation... thinking, I seem to still have a chance..."

"For a whole year, I stayed by his side, taking care of him. I didn't dare reveal my emotions, and I maintained a proper balance. I thought he could see my dedication... but he still only thought about Lin Yan..."

"I watched them reconcile, fall in love, and even smiled and wished him well. Do you know how I felt? I struggled, I was entangled. I wanted to try! I wanted to fight for it! I wanted to tell him everything that had been suppressed in my heart for many years..."

"Mu Xiao... am I wrong? I'm not wrong..."

After hearing this, Mu Xiao let her go and looked at her with a funny and infuriating look as she was already in tears.

He raised his hand and wiped away the tears on her face with his index finger.

"You're wrong. Xing Yu and Lin Yan are already married. What are you thinking? They're already husband and wife. Even if you like them, what can you do about it? Are you planning to destroy their marriage?"

"Wenxi, don't be stupid! No man in this world is worth you humiliating yourself like this, and no man is worth you bearing the stigma of being a 'third party'!"

"I didn't!" Wen Xi suddenly raised her voice, her voice a little tearing: "I just wanted to try once! I just... I just couldn't accept it!"

"Why have I liked someone for so long... but there is no result..."
