Chapter 262: Do you not want to care about me, or do you not believe me?

Those misty, watery eyes trembled slightly. "What are you asking?"

Fu Yanjing's gaze was fixed on her face, full of sexual tension.

Despite his assertive stance, his tone softened.

"They asked me who was with me, whether I had any women, how much I had drunk, and when I was going home."

Wen Jin also sensed a hint of grievance in his voice.

"Didn't you tell me that Young Master Zhao was coming and that you had arranged a gathering? You already said so, why should I keep asking?"

Fu Yanjing rarely brought up these things in the past.

What Wen Jinye was left with was either asking her if she wanted to come along.

Or they simply say they're not going home.

Wen Jin will not ask about it now.

She had always been a probe, entering his world in a flustered, reckless, and naive manner.

But once you step in, you take each and every step with extreme caution.

They were afraid of going too far or overstepping the bounds.

At that time, Fu Yanjing did not take it to heart.

Just assume she's being sensible.

Only later did I truly understand Wen Jinye's heartache.

She was holding onto a man she had loved for a long time but dared not confess her feelings. She had expectations, but dared not even dream of a happy ending.

I was such a jerk back then.

What he found comfort and ease back then is now something he desperately craves.

His face showed no signs of drunkenness, but his neck was redder than usual.

Fu Yanjing's thoughts were somewhat disordered.

Perhaps alcohol really does make people sensitive and sentimental; perhaps during the day, Fu Yanjing is always impeccably dressed, with a cool and composed demeanor, and a masterful mind.

They wouldn't get hung up on these details at all.

But now, Fu Yanjing's eyes held a childlike stubbornness, like a child who insisted on tasting candy.

"Wen Jinye, do you not want to care about me? Don't you really trust me?"

A faint smell of alcohol lingered in the air, and he radiated the warmth of the alcohol.

"I don't want you to be so careful anymore, and I don't want you to push me out of your heart."

Wen Jin also looked at his face.

She couldn't help but touch his cold, handsome brow bone.

"That's not the case at all."

Wen Jin also said, "This time, it's because I trust you."

"If I feel anxious and insecure just because you went to a drinking party with your friends, and if you are surrounded by beautiful women just because of a drinking party, then our relationship can hardly be considered a happy ending after all the hardships. It is nothing more than that, fragile, hypocritical, and vulnerable. There will be emptiness everywhere that allows others to take advantage of it."

She also grew through trials and tribulations.

She is no longer that sensitive girl who always waited for her lover's pity and was always on edge.

Wen Jin also has her own mature understanding of relationships.

She cupped Fu Yanjing's face in her hands, and her soft, warm lips pressed against his.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water.

But Fu Yanjing suddenly went deeper into the matter.

He kissed her for a very long time before slowly separating from her.

His previously dark and confused eyes became clear and bright.

Even in the dim light of the private room, Wen Jin could clearly see her reflection in his clean and sincere eyes.

Devoted and unique.

Wen Jin suddenly understood why he was acting this way tonight.

He labeled himself as a "perpetrator" and "victim".

After seeing my own heart clearly, when I tried to salvage the relationship, I also carried a sense of atonement and self-imposed constraints.

A few misty tears welled up in her eyes, and Wen Jin said softly:

"Fu Yanjing, don't be afraid."

“I have indeed been hurt by your arrogance, and I have resented that you have never understood respect and equality. People in a weaker position are bound to have grievances and inevitably look more pitiful. However, you are a chosen one, and your upbringing is completely opposite to mine. That is why I insisted on getting close to you.”

"I approached you in the wrong way in the past. With so many ill-intentioned people around you, it seems like I have no choice but to be prejudiced against me. My feelings for you over the years are only precious because you love me in return. Otherwise, it would just be a long, one-sided performance on my part. I liked you because you were truly special to me back then, because you were good enough. So you don't need to feel burdened."

This is why Wen Jin hesitated and didn't want to tell Fu Yanjing about her unrequited love.

"Over the past three years, I've always been too sensitive, and you didn't initially have such strong feelings for me, so I just felt sad, but I didn't hate you. We only had no physical harm, no challenges to the fidelity of our relationship, so everything was just a ripple in love, without right or wrong."

"Don't feel sorry for me. I wasn't as mature as I used to be, and I was also a bit vulnerable. It takes time for two hearts to grow closer, especially at the beginning, when our hearts were so far apart."

After weathering countless storms, the rain has stopped and the sun shines through, revealing a bright new world.

Wen Jin also possesses a soft and tolerant heart no matter what she looks at.

She suddenly felt bright and cheerful.

Everything is thriving.

Autumn is not bleak, winter is not desolate.

This is going to be a good winter.

"I'm so brave."

Wen Jin also said, "Thank you for bowing your head for me."

I've relived countless sleepless nights, rainy days, and twilights as turbulent as the tide.

Such bittersweet and gloomy feelings.

Finally, on this early winter night, it transformed into the warm sun high in the sky.

Fu Yanjing listened to her rambling voice, "Wen Jinye, how can you be so good? How can there be such a good person as you?"

Wen Jin teased him, "That means you're a very good person too. You're dating a very good person, you have good taste."

Fu Yanjing hummed in response, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with his deep voice as his neck flushed red.

"Dr. Wen's miraculous healing skills brought me back to my sight."

"So next time, don't pretend to be drunk and call me to pick you up. You can just tell me you need me earlier. Otherwise, my conscience will bother me to call Uncle Zhang out of his wife and kids in the middle of the night, okay?"

Fu Yanjing didn't flinch, frankly admitting, "You found out."

"You still dare to talk!" Wen Jin also punched him lightly, but not hard. "On the way here, Uncle Zhang received a call from his son. The little boy woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't find his father. He was crying like crazy. Uncle Zhang apologized to me while comforting the little boy, saying that he was going to pick up his boss and take him home."

"Then the kid said, 'Why don't you just break off your friendship with your boss?'"

"You have a terrible reputation among the kids."

Fu Yanjing feigned reflection and repentance, saying, "Okay, I'll be more careful next time."

He greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from Wen Jinye. "Wen Jinye, I'm so happy you're telling me all this. I feel guilty for making you go through all this trouble in the middle of the night."

I don't know if he was trying to be a scoundrel or if he was genuinely repentant, but the way he said it sounded so strange.

Fu Yanjing said, "Please punish me as you please!"

Their eyes were sparkling, as if they were begging for a reward.

Actually, Fu Yanjing wanted to get a scolding from her.

She called him a hooligan and shameless, and he was completely bewitched, never tiring of hearing it.

But Wen Jin also took the initiative to put her ear close to his left chest.

"May I hear your heartbeat again?"

Three years ago, she was carefree and clear-headed.

While watching helplessly as you sink into depravity, you still have the self-righteousness to think things through.

Even a moment of pleasure is worth it.

At that time, she nestled in Fu Yanjing's arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat.

But she knew he didn't belong to her.

But now, his heart seemed to be beating truly for him.

And so, the once steady and powerful heartbeat suddenly became out of rhythm.
