Long Tingwei looked up at her, then fixed his gaze back on the keychain.

"I can't believe you still have it! I looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it. Turns out you picked it up. That's great, you've kept it like new!"

Ling Yuexue sat down in front of him, raising her hand to take it and examine it closely.

However, Long Tingwei avoided her hand by holding the keychain.

Ling Yuexue maintained a calm smile on her face, but in her heart she was filled with boundless hatred. Even though he admitted that she was the little girl who saved him back then, when faced with that keychain, she was not as important as that thing.

Jian Mujin, your things are just as hateful and disgusting as you are!

"What's wrong?" Ling Yuexue asked him innocently, afraid that her smile would falter.

"You've lost this keychain for years. If you like it, I'll buy you a new one. Can you leave this one to me?"

I know I forced my way into your life and claimed you as my own. Perhaps you had a boyfriend before, but you were forced to be with me because of me. I understand your resentment towards me. If you don't love me, you could have told me sooner. You don't need to keep forcing yourself and making yourself suffer. Forced relationships are never happy. I can't accept that your heart isn't with me. If you want to leave, I can give you a large sum of money so you can live happily for the rest of your life!

Long Tingwei kept staring at the keychain as he spoke, and Ling Yuexue could tell at a glance how sincere his words were.

But how did he realize that her heart wasn't with him, or did he re-investigate himself and discover that he was in contact with Brother Hua?

Impossible. Hua Ge is the most cautious person. If Ting Wei finds out, wouldn't he take action?

She gently placed her hand on Long Tingwei's white shirt, and through the clothes she could feel his pounding heartbeat from his strong forearm.

She turned Long Tingwei's head to face her, then smiled gently and said, "My heart has always been with you. Perhaps it's because you're not divorced that our relationship always feels so ethereal and unreal."

But honestly, I haven't had a boyfriend before. Even if I had, none of them were as handsome as you. Why would I leave the young master Long who loves and pampers me and is willing to give everything for me, and instead like someone else?

These words pleased Long Tingwei greatly. He immediately smiled and looked at her happily. "Really? Actually, I love you, and I love it even more when you're happy. If you stop loving me in the future, or fall in love with someone else, I can grant your wish, as long as you're happy and at peace for the rest of your life!"

Ling Yuexue sometimes really wonders, can someone who loves another person really be this generous? If his woman falls for someone else, can he still decisively let go and smile while offering his blessings?

"Tingwei, I want to find a suitable opportunity to give myself to you!"

After a long silence, Ling Yuexue seemed to have finally made up her mind and said those words.

Long Tingwei looked at her in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Tingwei, I know you don't feel safe with me. If giving myself to you can put your mind at ease, then I'm willing to give myself to you!"

"Actually, Xue'er, you don't need to do this. I'm fine. After I get divorced, we can get married and face the rest of our lives together. Wouldn't that be better?"

Whether it was because Long Tingwei was too attached to tradition or something else, he was always reluctant to do "that" with Ling Yuexue too early.

So I refused without thinking.

"Tingwei, your behavior makes me uneasy and insecure. Do you think I don't love you enough, or do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

"Xue'er, don't think like that. I don't have those kinds of thoughts. I don't think you're good enough for me. It's just that you're still sick right now, and I have to take care of your health!"

While struggling, Long Tingwei finally came up with a reason that he felt was appropriate to refuse the matter.

"Tingwei, I'll take good care of my medicine and recover. Can we talk about this again next week?"

Long Tingwei could only nod.

Ling Yuexue stared at the glaring keychain, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

It was late at night, and Jian Mujin was still picking up trash in the lawn. Her back ached from the repeated picking, and her stomach was growling loudly with hunger.

She really doubted whether there was really so much trash in the lawn. Could it be that those people deliberately littered there to mess with her?

She wanted to go back and have a bowl of instant noodles, but those people stopped her. Jian Mujin almost couldn't help but dump all the garbage on their heads.

"Xiao Mu, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said these things to you. You were about to go back, and I even dragged you into this... Sigh, it's all my fault!"

Xiao Wang suddenly appeared, bringing her a box of cookies and a bottle of mineral water, looking at her with concern.

As if she had seen a savior, Jian Mujin immediately dropped what she was holding, wiped her hands on her apron, and took the food.

Xiao Wang wouldn't give it to her, pointing to the faucet in front of her and telling her to wash her hands clean, otherwise she would get sick from eating dirty things.

Jian Mujin went over and washed her hands with a smile, and then Xiao Wang gave her the cookies.

"Actually, it's not your fault. They're just too awful. When Grandpa comes back, I'll have him judge for me! Long Tingwei is a complete scumbag!"

"Shh, be careful not to let anyone hear you. There weren't this many animals on this lawn before. It must be those people who tripped you up behind your back."

Jian Mujin was indignant. After finishing her meal, she decided to quit. She figured she wouldn't finish even if she worked until dawn, so she might as well go back to sleep!

Xiao Wang did some chores for her while she was eating, but after Jian Mujin finished eating, she insisted on taking her back and wouldn't let her do any more work.

The next day, the lawn was a mess, and a group of servants were slightly smug, thinking that Jian Mujin would be working another day.

Some busybodies went and told Long Tingwei about it. Long Tingwei listened to the story impatiently and told them that they could be taught a lesson!

As a result, Jian Mujin was beaten.

The appropriate lesson was that the servants, under Qiu Yixia's command, whipped Jian Mujin a few times with branches.

Jian Mujin was furious and this time she really dumped all the blame on them. The servants were angry and told Long Tingwei the whole story.

Jian Mujin knew that Long Tingwei wouldn't stand up for her and might even come up with some other ways to punish her, so she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed onto the lawn.

Pretend to faint!

Long Tingwei went to the company, and when the servants went there, they found no one there, but instead ran into Ling Yuexue.

Ling Yuexue personally helped Jian Mujin into Long Tingwei's villa.

Jian Mujin always thought that Ling Yuexue was not as kind as she appeared, so she immediately became alert.

"You're up?" Ling Yuexue looked at her and smiled gently.

"Where's Long Tingwei? He asked you to bring me into the villa?" Jian Mujin quickly looked around and, finding no sign of Long Tingwei, relaxed.

My gaze was then drawn to other decorations that looked quite valuable!
