Ye Wenyu looked up again at the beautiful house. She finally had her own home! Now she was in a warm room, and although the wind and rain were raging outside, she was no longer afraid because she had a place to shelter from the storm.

Previously, because he hadn't contacted her for a while, she silently endured her roommates' ridicule at school. Therefore, when she saw him again, she vented all her anger on him. Looking back now, she realizes that she shouldn't have done that.

Because during the time they hadn't seen each other, he had been looking for a house for her!

He was meticulously crafting a home for her.

She buried her face in his burning chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and wondered how he could be so good to her. Was it really a sugar daddy relationship? Would a man who keeps a mistress be so good to her? She had heard that even the richest men spend their money on their parents, children, wife, themselves, stocks, and other assets before their mistresses.

But he seemed to put her first, making her the center of everything he did, treating her like a precious gem.

Lin Tingfeng seemed to know what Ye Wenyu was thinking. He smiled at her and said, "From this moment on, you will live here. Every morning, I will take you to school and pick you up in the evening. Then I will help you with your homework. If you don't know how, I will spank you. Then you will pass all those English Level 6 exams, Computer Level 3 exams, teacher's certificate, lawyer's certificate, accounting certificate, and so on."

What? Ye Wenyu rolled her eyes and angrily retorted, "Is this how you pick up and drop off your daughter at kindergarten?" Uh, buying a house near the school too, this is clearly the parents' intention to choose a house in a good school district.

Lin Tingfeng laughed, and after he had finished laughing, he looked at her, his eyes gradually softening, and said gently, "More or less." Then he said with some emotion, "If I had married earlier, my daughter would be about your age now, so sometimes, when I see you by my side, I feel guilty." He fell silent at this point, as if lost in thought, before laughing again and shaking his head.

Ye Wenyu's thoughts had already shifted to another question. After a while, she looked up at him with her little face and asked happily, "Will you really take me to school and pick me up from school every day?"

Her big eyes sparkled like stars in the sky, and her face was full of anticipation.

Lin Tingfeng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Taking you to school is no problem. Sometimes I'm busy with company matters and other things—"

Seeing her face about to show disappointment, he immediately explained, "I told you before that I have two children, and their mother is almost never home, so I have to go back to be with the children every day. But no matter how late it is, I will come back to you." As he said this, he looked at her with guilt in his eyes.

Ye Wenyu understood, her heart filled with both joy and pain. She was happy that he promised to come back and keep her company every night, but she was in pain because her identity could not be changed and she remained in darkness, unable to see the light.

Because of her status, he gave her houses like cabbages, one after another.

After thinking for a while, Ye Wenyu mustered up her courage and asked, "If there is no love, why not get a divorce?" When she asked this question, her face turned as white as snow, and her heart pounded wildly like a drum.

Lin Tingfeng laughed, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "When the time is right, I will tell you why I don't want a divorce."

Ye Wenyu was even more heartbroken. Women in love are especially sensitive. She thought painfully, "So, he really didn't want a divorce, not that he couldn't!"

She asked sadly, "Lin Tingfeng, you love me, don't you?"

When she asked the question, she was so desperate that she didn't want to hear the answer, because she knew it would break her heart.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng suddenly gripped her hand tightly. He remained silent, seemingly both angry and heartbroken, before calmly saying, "Wenyu, although you are young, there are some things you need to gradually understand."

Ye Wenyu's mood was still deteriorating. She lowered her head, broke free from his embrace, and shrank to the other side of the bed. She said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, for example, understanding that our relationship is just a business transaction, and being fair is fine."

Lin Tingfeng gave a wry smile. He tried to approach her, but seeing her still resisting, he wisely stopped. After a moment of silence, he said, "No, that's not what I meant. I mean, you need to understand, love isn't just about words; it's about actions in life."

Ye Wenyu looked up, seemingly understanding but not quite. Her big, watery eyes gazed at Lin Tingfeng. She thought to herself, he gave her a villa in Hangzhou, and now he's given her a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in S City. He's going to take her to transfer the ownership tomorrow. He must love her.

Although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded slightly.

Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly, then simply lay down, turned to his side, reached out, and forcefully pulled Ye Wenyu, who was not far away, back into his arms.

Ye Wenyu closed her eyes in his arms, his pleasant scent enveloping her like warm seawater, making her feel dizzy with happiness.

Her long-held wish to share a bed with someone has finally come true!

It turns out that being held by him to sleep is such a wonderful thing, like being a baby in the womb, so warm, secure and reassuring.

Lin Tingfeng said softly above her head, "Starting tomorrow, I will introduce you to my sister, my brother, my friends, and the rest of the Lin family."

His sister, Lin Tingyue? She knew her. Ye Wenyu opened her eyes, the image of the beautiful Lin Tingyue flashing through her mind. Back then, she met Lin Tingyue first, then attended the Lin family banquet at her invitation, and then met Lin Tingfeng at the banquet.

If Lin Tingyue knew that she was with her older brother, would she be happy or angry?

Ye Wenyu felt overwhelmed and instinctively wanted to avoid it, so she said in a low voice, "No need, I don't want to know anyone from the Lin family."

Being lovers is shameful enough; do you really have to announce it to the whole world?

Lin Tingfeng said gently, "I see you're unhappy sometimes because you feel like you're in darkness. Once you get to know the rest of the Lin family, you'll understand me, understand why I made these arrangements. At that time—"

At this point, he hugged Ye Wenyu tightly, looked into the distance, and then turned off the room lights. In the darkness, he pondered and said, "By then, you may understand me, know what kind of person I am, and what kind of feelings I have for you."

Introducing her to the Lin family, hoping that not only he would like her, but also his family and friends, is exactly what love looks like.
