Chapter 100 Script

The car drove smoothly out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic flow.

The heat on my face hadn't completely subsided yet. Thinking back to that inexplicable conflict just now, I couldn't help but ask, "Later... why did the Su and Lin families stop contacting each other? Your mother...seems to have a bad relationship with her family?"

After asking, I felt a little regretful, as if I was exposing his scars.

Lin Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel and was silent for a few seconds before he sighed and said in a much deeper voice, "My mother and that woman are half-sisters. That woman...was the one my grandfather married later. She's the so-called mistress who gave birth to a child."

His tone was filled with undisguised disgust. "Do you think a woman who got to the top through trickery would be truly kind to the daughter left by her first wife?"

I was stunned and couldn't help but hold my forehead with my hands.

This relationship... is too complicated and melodramatic! It's even more exciting than a TV drama!

"Forget it," I quickly waved my hands, a look of headache on my face. "I don't understand what you're telling me, let alone help. These things are too complicated. My ordinary brain can't handle it. My CPU is going to burn out!"

Lin Yan was amused by my exaggerated expression, and the tense lines on his face finally softened, revealing a genuine smile.

He freed one hand and gently pinched my fingertips: "Well, you don't need to understand. Ruirui,"

He looked at me, his eyes gentle but firm. "You just need to know that you are with me only because you like me as a person, and I like you as a person. That's enough."

"That's right!" I immediately straightened my back, crossed my arms and snorted, "Who cares about your family feuds? I like Lin Yan, not 'Young Master Lin' or 'the heir to the Lin family'!"

Lin Yan laughed out loud because of what I said, but there was a hint of emotion in his smile.

He stared straight ahead, silent for a moment, then spoke in a calm yet self-deprecating tone, "Yes, I like Lin Yan... Ruirui, meeting you and falling in love with you is truly the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me. I don't want to, nor do I care to, follow the scripts of those so-called 'rich young masters.'"

"A rich young master's script?" I asked curiously, "For example...a marriage?"

I have only seen this word in novels before.

Lin Yan looked at me with deep eyes.

"Perhaps." His tone was calm, yet it carried a resoluteness to sever ties with the past. "However, this possibility was personally cut off by me when I became an adult and was able to take control of my own life."

He paused, his voice lowering. "That's why... my connection with my family has always been rather distant. Although my father... might not be the type to force me into marriage, the voices from the outside world, those who covet the Lin family, those who want to force their daughter into the family... are too rampant. Just like the 'aunt' you saw today, she represents that kind of disgusting thinking."

So that's how it is?

I always thought that Lin Yan had a weak relationship with his family because of his independent personality or his distant relationship with Lin's father. I never thought about the deeper reason, which was actually to... avoid becoming a tool for marriage?

To be free to choose your own life and partner?

"You haven't been in touch with your family much...is that why?"

I asked softly, a complex feeling welling up in my heart, a mixture of heartache and a bit of... the shock of being cherished.

"Part of the reason." Lin Yan nodded, his tone tinged with weariness. "The main reason is that I'm fed up with all those tedious rules and tired of being weighed down like a valuable bargaining chip. As the son of the Lin family, especially the son who might become the heir, my marriage, my choices, even me, in the eyes of some people, are just capital that can be exchanged for benefits."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Arranged marriages were a mistake, as I could see from my parents' experiences. Although my parents... their relationship turned out well, and they could be considered harmonious. But when a marriage is tainted with too many family interests from the outset, the attention and calculations poured into it become too complicated, and pure love becomes a luxury."

"Lin Yan..." I called him, my throat a little tight.

I didn't expect that a simple airport pick-up would lead to such a heavy topic.

The scene I originally envisioned was to pick him up, happily go out for a good meal, and then go home... Well, a short separation is better than a new marriage.

As a result, the car is now filled with a heavy atmosphere about family, responsibility, freedom and restraint.

Looking at his slightly tired and annoyed profile, I felt so distressed. I wanted to comfort him, but I felt that words were too pale.

Lin Yan seemed to notice my mood, and while waiting for the red light, he turned his head and looked at me.

The gloom on his face was swept away and replaced by a gentle smile.

He leaned over and gave me a quick but firm, soothing kiss on the lips.

"Baby, don't worry about me."

He looked at me, his eyes bright and determined, filled with the relief of someone who had survived a catastrophe. "Didn't I tell you? Meeting you is my greatest fortune. What I've always longed for is that most ordinary, purest kind of love, one without any calculations of personal gain. I've had several relationships before, fallen into many pitfalls, and been disappointed many times..."

He paused and looked deeply into my eyes, which seemed to be shining with stars. "Just when I thought this might be the end of my life... unexpectedly, God sent you to me."

The green light came on, and he restarted the car, his tone brightening, "So, Ruirui, you are my turning point, my salvation."

His last words were like a stone thrown into the lake of my heart, causing huge ripples.

A surge of emotion rushed over me, carrying with it a courage and determination I had never felt before.

I looked at his profile as he drove. The man who might be "Master Lin" in the eyes of others, in my eyes, was just Lin Yan, the one I loved.

"Husband..." I took a deep breath, as if I had finally thrown away a broken jar, or as if I had finally found an outlet to vent. My voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear and serious.

"I'm going to make this clear today. I, Chen Rui, don't have any big ambitions. The only thing I'm proud of in my life so far is probably getting into a decent university. Before, I never thought about loving someone, about changing myself for someone, or about being so... wholeheartedly dependent on someone."

I paused, feeling my cheeks getting hot, but my eyes met his slightly surprised gaze with unusual determination: "But since I met you, everything has changed. Just like you said, if my appearance really turned your life around and completely saved you from those 'scripts' you didn't like..."

My voice trembled slightly, filled with desperate sincerity. "Then I can only say that I'm very happy to do so! I'm extremely happy! And... I'm extremely honored!"

The car pulled over suddenly.

Lin Yan stepped on the brakes, turned his head and looked at me blankly. In his deep eyes, extremely complex emotions surged, including shock, ecstasy, and disbelief, which eventually turned into deep and indissoluble love and... a hint of madness?

He rarely saw me speak my true feelings so seriously, especially such a straightforward and passionate confession.

"Stop talking... Chen Rui..."

He spoke through gritted teeth, each word coming out from the deepest part of his heart, carrying with it a burning warmth and a heavy promise. "I love you! I'm yours for the rest of my life! I'm yours from the inside out!"

He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and kissed me fiercely.

This kiss was filled with the ecstasy of regaining what had been lost, the gratitude of being redeemed, and the surging love that almost drowned her.

I responded to him clumsily but passionately, and tears quietly rolled down my cheeks without me noticing. I felt happy and satisfied.

The only sounds in the carriage were rapid breathing and the sound of lips rubbing against each other.

After a long time, he finally let go of me, panting, and rested his forehead against mine, his eyes so hot that they seemed to set me on fire.

My face was so hot that I could fry an egg on it, my heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest, and I felt a huge sense of happiness and shame intertwined together.

I pushed him, my voice filled with a sweetness and coquettishness that I didn't even realize: "Then... then don't stop here! Go home!"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst into an astonishing light and smile.

He fastened his seat belt again, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow, reaching the maximum speed limit allowed by the road.

The journey home has never been so long and yet so short.

As soon as the car stopped in the garage, Lin Yan almost couldn't wait to unbuckle his seat belt and came around to open the door on my side.

As soon as I got out of the car, he suddenly pulled me into his arms and kissed me again, more eagerly and deeply than before.

We pulled each other and stumbled towards the elevator. Even in the enclosed space, we never separated, our lips and tongues intertwined, our breaths blending together.

As soon as I opened the door, there was no time to even turn on the lights, and the entrance became a battlefield.

Backpacks and coats were thrown on the ground.

His kisses fell densely on my forehead, eyes, cheeks, and neck, with a scorching temperature, as if he wanted to pour out all the longing for me after being apart for several days.

I clutched his shirt tightly, responding clumsily but passionately, every cell in my body screaming with desire.

In fact, I had thought about it a long time ago. When Lin Yan came back from a business trip, he would be in a state of turmoil and he would definitely not be able to escape this.

But I didn't expect that it would be after such a heavy conversation about the family shadow, after they confessed their feelings to each other and confirmed that the other party was their salvation and destination.

This passion is no longer just a physical desire, but a flame ignited deep in the soul, with a crazy desire to completely blend and possess each other.

We are like two travelers who have been trekking in the desert for a long time and finally found the only oasis. We greedily absorb each other's warmth and breath, wishing to rub each other into our bones and blood.

That night, from the entrance to the living room, and then to the bedroom... the air was filled with sweat, lust and deep love.

Lin Yan pleaded tirelessly, whispering in my ear over and over again:

"Ruirui...I love you..."

"Wife...my..."

"Ruirui...you are my life..."

Those "I love you" are no longer simple confessions, but vows engraved in the bones, confirmation of survival, and resonance deep in the soul.

And I responded over and over again:

"Hubby...I love you too..."

"Lin Yan...my..."

"I want you... forever..."

The body is tired, but the soul is full and fulfilled.

All the longing, all the uneasiness, all the heaviness, were washed away in the surging love of this night, leaving only each other, only the purest love and delivery.
