Ye Wenyu stared blankly at Lin Tingfeng with eyes the size of teacups. When her mother died unexpectedly, in her most painful and helpless moment, she longed for his appearance the most.

Seeing him again now, she knows that deep in her heart, the person she loves most is still him.

Seeing Ye Wenyu crouching in the snow, motionless like a wounded little animal, Lin Tingfeng immediately strode over. He squatted down, extended his warm and strong hands, and hugged Ye Wenyu in his arms. He half-carried and half-supported her as she stood up.

The snow continued to fall, piling up like cotton wool.

When Ye Wenyu stood up straight, nestled in his arms, heard his strong heartbeat, and smelled his familiar scent, she realized that it was all real, not a dream!

She began to sob uncontrollably in Lin Tingfeng's arms, first whimpering, then bursting into loud sobs. She clenched her small fists and pounded them against his firm chest, complaining to Lin Tingfeng, "Why did you only come now? Why did you only come now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lin Tingfeng hugged her tightly, holding her close, and gently patted the back of her hand repeatedly with his other hand to comfort her.

However, Ye Wenyu quickly regained consciousness.

Once she came to her senses, she swiftly reached out and pushed herself free from Lin Tingfeng's embrace.

At the same time, Lin Tingfeng also stumbled and took a step back, but he still looked at her with a smile, as if he was very happy.

The past is not as cold as ice. When Ye Wenyu came to her senses, she recalled the bits and pieces of the past and felt disgusted as if someone had shoved a fly down her throat in public.

Of course she remembered the reason for their breakup: because he was scheming and incredibly cold-blooded and cruel to his sister and brother; because he had no sincerity towards her, and pretended to be divorcing her while still appearing in public with his wife.

She even painfully thought that if her mother's death wasn't an accident, but rather a suicide due to depression, then the cause of her mother's depression was most likely related to her. Because she had broken up with Lin Tingfeng, she had returned to her mother's home, expecting her mother to support her and take responsibility for her life!

The family originally had two boys who were about to grow up, and now they had another child, her. Her stepfather didn't have much earning power, so her mother couldn't bear the pressure of life and eventually broke down and committed suicide by jumping off a building!

If the mother was not murdered, then her return home is the only reason for her depression and suicide.

As Ye Wenyu thought of this, her heart was like a summer lightning bolt. A thought surfaced in her mind and lingered for a long time: her mother's death was related to her, and she had let her mother down!

The reason she acted this way was related to Lin Tingfeng toying with her feelings.

Therefore, Ye Wenyu stopped looking at Lin Tingfeng and turned to walk towards the girls' dormitory.

"Xiaoyu—" Seeing Ye Wenyu about to escape, Lin Tingfeng immediately called out to her, and swiftly reached out to grab her hand.

Ye Wenyu screamed, "Let go of me! Do you still want to play with my feelings? I can't take it anymore! Let me go!"

Lin Tingfeng gripped her hand even tighter and said earnestly, "Xiaoyu, I'm divorced."

What? Like a bolt from the blue, Ye Wenyu stared blankly at Lin Tingfeng, stopping her crying, though tears still clung to her pale face.

Lin Tingfeng took out his divorce certificate and smiled at her, saying, "This is the divorce certificate, it's genuine. That's why it took me so long to come find you."

What? He really divorced his wife for her? He wasn't lying to her? Ye Wenyu's eyes widened in disbelief. She reached out her hand, trembling, and took the divorce certificate as if she were holding a heavy piece of iron, not a piece of paper.

The snow was getting heavier, and nearly five centimeters of ice and snow had accumulated under their feet. The weather was terribly cold.

Lin Tingfeng didn't feel cold at all; his heart was warm as he gazed at Ye Wenyu with deep affection.

The night was dark, but at the same time, it was gentle. Large, cotton-like snowflakes continued to fall softly.

The road resembled a sandwich, black in the middle and white on both sides. Under the yellow streetlights, the snowflakes dancing in the air seemed like willow catkins in spring, reflecting Lin Tingfeng's cheerful mood.

Ye Wenyu held her breath, her hands trembling, and opened the divorce certificate. Yes, it clearly stated that Lin Tingfeng and Zhong Chuxi were divorced. So, his wife was named Zhong Chuxi. She had such a beautiful name, but a shrewish personality. However, now, she was his ex-wife.

Ye Wenyu's tears fell instantly. Worried that her tears would wet his divorce certificate, she immediately took a deep breath, returned the divorce certificate to him, and then reached out to wipe her own tears.

He finally got a divorce; he really divorced his wife for her!

Mom, do you know this from heaven?

He is now a free man, and she no longer has to worry about being beaten by a woman for no reason while walking down the street, like before.

However, Mom is no longer here.

Ye Wenyu's tears flowed more and more, like a spring.

He got divorced, came back to her, and told her. He's single now, so does that mean her life of suffering is over?

Seeing her shoulders trembling with sobs, Lin Tingfeng sighed, stepped forward, and stood before Ye Wenyu. He said sincerely, "Xiaoyu, I've come today to tell you that I'm free. You no longer need to worry or be afraid. After a while, I will marry you—a proper marriage. You are worthy to be my wife, Lin Tingfeng's wife. You deserve all the status and position. In short, I will give you everything you want!"

Ye Wenyu stood frozen in place, too shocked and moved to move, her tears falling like broken pearls.

He wants to marry her?

Lin Tingfeng looked at her tenderly. Despite the heavy snow, he didn't feel cold. He composed himself, smiled at her, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Let's get back together, okay?" After asking this question, he also became extremely nervous. His heart seemed to jump into his throat, so he could only purse his lips tightly.

For the past six months, he has been so preoccupied with the major event of the divorce that he has had neither the time nor the energy to pay attention to her life.

So he had no idea how she was doing, whether she had a new boyfriend, or whether she had changed her mind.

But he got divorced so that one day he could marry her.

However, before he came, he imagined all sorts of possibilities and made a fierce vow in his heart that no matter how unpredictable the world was or what terrible changes occurred, he would definitely win her back and use marriage to keep her locked up so that she would never be able to escape from his side again!

He's already lost her once; he can't afford to lose her a second time!
