So what if Lin Yu doesn't like him? He's Tao Xingye!
Lin Yu never imagined that her reunion with Tao Xingye would be in such a setting—as a temporary hotel worker, she was squatting...
I know
Tao Xingye and his companions entered the box, but unexpectedly, Liu Quan was not there.
"Didn't you say they were already here?" Zhou Xing frowned. "Where's she?" The waiter didn't say anything, and Zhou Xing's face became even more unhappy. Shuang Axi quickly stepped forward and quietly reminded the waiter, who then spoke, "Mr. Liu's friend was not feeling well, so Mr. Liu sent her back."
"Oh, that's fine, Xingzi," Zhou Xing smiled and turned around, patting Tao Xingye's shoulder. "Let's just treat it as a get-together for us brothers today. I'll set up another party for you tomorrow and I'll definitely bring Liu Quan with me."
His behavior wasn't strange, but it wasn't natural either. Tao Xingye had a hunch that Zhou Xing was hiding something from him, but he didn't want to ask him. After all, Zhou Xing had helped him a lot both abroad and at home.
Shuang Axi asked Tao Xingye and the girl to sit down. After settling Tao Xingye down, Shuang Axi gave the girl a wink, and the girl instantly fell onto Tao Xingye's legs.
"What are you doing?" Tao Xingye grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her away. "Where are you touching?" He patted his trouser legs in disgust and lost interest in staying. He stood up, said hello to Zhou Xing and walked out.
Zhou Xing didn't chase after him, letting Tao Xingye go. He flipped through the video he'd just taken, and took a screenshot of the girl sitting on Tao Xingye's lap and sent it to Shuang Axi, "You have Lin Yu's WeChat, right? Talk naturally, don't let her get suspicious and then go straight to Tao Xingye."
Shuang Axi clicked on the photo. She had to admit that Zhou Xing was very good at taking screenshots. The photo showed a stark contrast to Tao Xingye's reaction just now. She thought of Lin Yu's pale face in the hospital yesterday and felt a little sorry. "Why not forget it? They both have children."
Zhou Xing looked surprised, and Shuang Axi continued, "I happened to see Lin Yu having a uterine cleaning operation when I went to the hospital yesterday. She hasn't recovered yet. How many days will it take?" Her tone was soft and her eyes were pleading.
Zhou Xing ignored her and smiled even wider. "Doesn't this prove that they're not getting along? Xingzi doesn't even want a child, so it's clear he doesn't really like Lin Yu. At most, he just wanted to have fun on a whim." Zhou Xing put his arm around Shuang Axi's waist and pulled her into his arms. He coaxed her into giving her his phone and said, "I'll watch you send it, come on."
His tone was innocent, as if he was talking about something insignificant. Shuang Axi felt a chill on her back. Perhaps in Zhou Xing's eyes, people like them were really insignificant.
Zhou Xing held her hand and sent the photo. There was no response from the other party for a long time. Shuang Axi felt relieved a little. She and Lin Yu were not very familiar with each other. They had only met a few times. Maybe Lin Yu had blocked her. It would be better for her to block herself.
As soon as Tao Xingye left Yunjin's house, a gust of hot wind blew towards him. The summer wind in Jincheng was already a bit humid, not to mention the recent heavy rain. He didn't know what was going on in Rongcheng, whether the weather in Rongcheng was good, whether the food was good, and whether Lin Yu was okay.
Let's give Lin Yu a call, Tao Xingye thought as he dialed Lin Yu's number, but there was no response from the other end. He had no choice but to hang up. Clicking into the chat history with Lin Yu, at a glance, most of the conversation was done by him. Only today did Lin Yu send a longer message, but it was about her leaving.
He was annoyed and dismissed the driver, driving himself. Along the way, lights flickered and many rose vendors gathered on the roadside. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered the Bluetooth connection and heard a strange voice, "Mr. Tao, the cake you ordered has been delivered to your villa."
Cake? Tao Xingye turned his gaze to look at his phone screen, and suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of him. Tao Xingye slammed on the brakes but still couldn't stop, and crashed straight into a car rushing out from the side intersection.
When you're unlucky, nothing goes right. Tao Xingye glanced at the traffic light. It was the man who ran a red light. He didn't bother to argue, and didn't get out of the car. He lowered the window and rested his arm on it. "You don't have to pay. Go away."
He was driving a very low-key Volkswagen Touareg tonight, with a market price of over one million, but its appearance was not conspicuous.
His behavior undoubtedly angered the owner of a well-known luxury car across the street. The man slammed the door, got out of the car, and called the police. Tao Xingye didn't bother to waste time arguing with him. He took out his phone and was about to call his assistant when he saw the two words on the calendar - Qixi Festival.
No wonder there are so many rose sellers on the street. He suddenly remembered the cake. Half a month ago, he was afraid that he would forget to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day with Lin Yu, so he specially ordered a cake in advance. After such a long time, he really forgot.
As for the cake, Lin Yu is out of town, so what’s the point of sending it to his house?
"Hehehe! What are you thinking about?" The man pulled up his trousers, and the keys hanging on his belt jingled. "I'm driving a BMW. Even if the police come, you'll have to pay more than me for this crappy Volkswagen. And you still dare to tell me you don't have to pay. Is it your turn to talk? Get out of here quickly and stop sitting in the car pretending to be stupid."
Tao Xingye glanced at the man coldly and suddenly decided not to let him go. Who told him to walk into a gunpoint? He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. "Of course it's not my turn to speak, but if you want to call the police, I can only follow your advice."
Tao Xingye leaned against the car door, a cigarette between his fingers. Jincheng was still hot and humid at night. He hadn't felt it since getting out of the car, but after smoking half a cigarette outside, he felt uncomfortable all over. He was getting impatient waiting when a police car drove up and stopped by the roadside.
The man was 80% responsible, Tao Xingye 20%. As if to threaten Tao Xingye, or to show off, he pulled out his phone and displayed the price from the official website, almost staring into Tao Xingye's eyes. "Brother, with the price of our car, even if you're only 20% responsible, you'll still have to pay me more than I will pay you. Now is your turn to settle this privately?"
Tao Xingye finished smoking a cigarette. He pinched the cigarette butt between his thumb and index finger, took a final puff, threw the cigarette into the trash can, opened the car door and got in.
The man didn't get the beg for mercy he wanted. Seeing that Tao Xingye was still so arrogant, he became furious. Determined to humiliate Tao Xingye, he took out his mobile phone and started searching the price of his car.
Looking at the string of zeros, the man exited the interface and searched again, but the result was exactly the same. The market price of this car was three times that of his own car!
The man looked at his phone and then at Tao Xingye's car, almost cursing in frustration. How could he not know that Volkswagen had released a car of this quality? If this wasn't to harm him, then what was he?
"Brother, brother, are you still private?" He bravely moved forward, but Tao Xingye just raised the window. The temperature in the car gradually dropped, but Tao Xingye still felt angry.
The car accident and other things were secondary. The most painful thing was that all these things piled up at once. Liu Quan stood him up, Lin Yu went out of town, and another woman fell into his arms. These things were like a string, and when one thing happened, the others followed.
He went upstairs in frustration and searched for a long time to find the cake the customer service mentioned. Who knew how they did things? Tao Xingye impatiently opened the baffle and started to enter the password, but the door was opened from the inside.
His hands froze in mid-air as he looked at the person opposite him. The lights in the room were off, and the light from the corridor made Lin Yu's expression obscure.
"When did you come back?"
"When did you cheat?"
Almost at the same time, the two voices overlapped.
Lin Yu sneered and weakly opened the door. "Did I come back so suddenly to disturb you two? And you even prepared a cake? What? You want to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with your girlfriend tonight and then roll into your bed together, right?"
"What's wrong with you? When did I cheat on you?" Tao Xingye's joy at seeing Lin Yu disappeared. He didn't understand what happened to Lin Yu after this trip. However, his attitude became worse after not seeing him for a day, and now he suspected him of cheating!
"If I really cheated on you, would I need to avoid you? I..."
"Yes, if you really cheated on me, you don't need to avoid me. Just divorce me and take your girlfriend home. Tao Xingye, do you want to divorce me now? If you do, let's do it tonight. With your ability, we will go our separate ways tonight, and you can cheat on me however you want in the future!" Lin Yu turned and walked into the inner room.
When Tao Xingye followed her in, he saw Lin Yu kneeling on the ground, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, looking for something. The room was a mess because of her. The moonlight outside the window shone on her cheeks, and her face was almost sickly pale, especially the strands of hair hanging down her forehead, which made Tao Xingye's heart tremble.
She staggered and searched the house but found nothing, so she ran to the storage room. Tao Xingye looked at her staggering figure, reached out and hugged her from behind.
Lin Yu screamed, her reaction so loud that Tao Xingye could hardly hold her down. "Have you had enough of this? Are you crazy?"
"I am crazy! It's you who drove me crazy, Tao Xingye. Do you think I want to be so crazy? I would never make myself so embarrassed before I met you! Now you start to dislike me for being crazy? Then why did you insist on marrying me?" Lin Yu's tone became more and more hateful. She lowered her head and bit Tao Xingye's wrist with such force that she almost tore a piece of flesh from Tao Xingye's wrist.
Tao Xingye still refused to let go of Lin Yu. He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Lin Yu also felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. They both knelt on the ground, and Lin Yu collapsed weakly into Tao Xingye's arms.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and Lin Yu slowly let go of Tao Xingye's wrist. The ground was extremely cold, wrapping around their bodies. The coldness could be felt through their suit pants, not to mention that Lin Yu was wearing a skirt.
Tao Xingye reached out to touch Lin Yu's calf. Just as he felt the coolness he had imagined, he was about to help Lin Yu up, but Lin Yu struggled again, kicking Tao Xingye desperately and pushing him out.
"What the hell are you doing? Can't you just tell me straight out!" Tao Xingye straightened Lin Yu's shoulders and forced her to look at him. Lin Yu suddenly raised her hand and slapped Tao Xingye's cheek. A crisp slapping sound rang out between the two of them. "I think it's dirty. Try touching me again."
Lin Yu's tone was cold, but Tao Xingye's eyes were even colder.
His eyes fell on the floor, where the two figures were reflected. Tao Xingye remembered that time in the hotel, wasn't it also on the floor? "Do you think it's dirty?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He grabbed Lin Yu's ankle and pulled Lin Yu to his side.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Tao Xingye ignored Lin Yu's words. He pressed Lin Yu's shoulders and pulled her under him. "You think I'm dirty, don't you? If I touch you now, are you as dirty as me? What the hell did I do to provoke you to scold me like this? You said you wanted to start over, but I knew you haven't let it go, so I didn't even touch you! You tell me now that you think I'm dirty, but did you think I was dirty from the beginning? You didn't want to start over with me from the beginning, and you said you wanted to start over just to lie to me, right?"
He tore open Lin Yu's collar, grabbed her shoulders and forced her to straighten her upper body, lowered his head and bit her thin shoulder, "Why this time? There are always various things about me that you don't like. Since you hate me so much, why don't we just hate each other for the rest of our lives? There's no need to be so cautious and follow your feelings!"
Tao Xingye touched Lin Yu's cold thigh, snorted coldly, and picked up Lin Yu and threw him onto the sofa. Lin Yu was knocked unconscious, and when he saw Tao Xingye approaching, he suddenly hated him.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stood up and looked at Tao Xingye, chin raised, "I'm pregnant."
Tao Xingye suddenly froze in place, realizing what Lin Yu said. The ice in his eyes suddenly melted, "You..., was it that time in the hotel?" He didn't use a condom that time, and that was the only time he and Lin Yu had been together.
"Yes, that time." Lin Yu touched her belly and looked at Tao Xingye seductively, "The baby is moving."
Is the child moving? Tao Xingye's steps involuntarily walked towards Lin Yu. He knelt on the sofa and reached out his hand to cover Lin Yu's wrist almost reverently. He didn't dare to touch Lin Yu's body, and could only feel the almost faint movement through Lin Yu's hand.
Lin Yu took Tao Xingye's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, her tone filled with drowning tenderness, "Do you feel it?" She smiled calmly, but that smile was not pure.
Tao Xingye held Lin Yu's waist and put his ear to her belly, but there was still no movement. "Is it because the baby is too young?"
Lin Yu reached out and smoothed down Tao Xingye's hair, her tone still so gentle, "He is dead."
In an instant, Tao Xingye felt his hands and feet cold, his blood rushing up, and his head dizzy and unable to speak. He looked up at Lin Yu, who seemed very satisfied with his current expression. He looked into his eyes with nostalgia and satisfaction and laughed wildly.
"He's dead, Tao Xingye, your child is gone. I killed him during the operation." Lin Yu laughed more and more happily, until she couldn't breathe and tears came out of her eyes. She weakly fell back on the sofa, still forcing a smile on her face as if she was not satisfied.
Tao Xingye had never seen Lin Yu like this before. He felt a chill down his spine. He instinctively knew that Lin Yu was not lying, yet he was willing to believe that she was. Noticing the struggle in Tao Xingye's eyes, Lin Yu raised her arm to pull Tao Xingye back, but she fell to the ground.
Lin Yu had never been so weak before. Tao Xingye's mind went blank for two seconds, and a few tears flowed out uncontrollably. Tao Xingye held his head high and let Lin Yu fall from the sofa to the ground. His feet seemed frozen and he couldn't move a muscle at all.
He saw the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window. Lin Yu was crawling on the ground. She was so thin that she seemed like she would disappear if she wasn't careful. She was so thin and weak, which invisibly confirmed Lin Yu's statement.
"But why did you want to abort our child?" Tao Xingye suddenly knelt down and grabbed Lin Yu's shoulders. Lin Yu's face turned pale from his shaking. She opened her lips but couldn't utter a word.
"That's our child!" Tao Xingye almost gritted his teeth and forced himself to suppress the urge to yell at Lin Yu. His heart was torn. The pain of losing his child, the pain of Lin Yu personally causing him to lose the child, and the pain of Lin Yu becoming so weak, each one of them made him breathless.
He took Lin Yu into his arms, leaned on her shoulder, and said helplessly, "You lied to me, didn't you? You were never pregnant. You were just angry with me and lied to me. Lin Yu, you are jealous. You suspected that I was cheating on you and you got angry and wanted to scare me. This must be the case, this must be the case..."
Lin Yu leaned weakly in Tao Xingye's arms, feeling a dampness on her shoulders. It must be Tao Xingye's tears. She thought she must be relieved now, but she still felt it wasn't enough. How could she?
Seeing the photo, she was afraid that the phone wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. She endured the fatigue and pain, and the bumpy ride back and forth, and flew back to Jincheng from Rongcheng. But when she got home, she saw a Qixi Festival cake. As soon as she opened the door, Tao Xingye scolded her for being crazy.
She just wanted an answer, "Tao Xingye, this is what you deserve." He made her so sad, and she wanted him to be as sad as she was.
Tao Xingye said he was jealous because he was angry about his infidelity, so he could think so. What did he care about most? Oh. It was Jiang Shuang.
Lin Yu took a breath and continued, "You lied to me that Jiang Shuang was not dead. Now I will use your child to lie to you again. This is what you deserve." Lin Yu fumbled out the surgical form from her pocket and stuffed it into Tao Xingye's hand. The man looked at her in a daze.
A smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips, "You lied to me that Jiang Shuang was not dead, but Jiang Shuang is dead. I also lied to you that your child is not dead, so in the end, will your child also die?" Lin Yu laughed wildly, like a Rakshasa in hell, but her trembling shoulders were like the body of a butterfly with broken wings, thin and helpless.
Tao Xingye was speechless. He raised his hand to cover Lin Yu's collar, and tried to tidy up Lin Yu's clothes with trembling hands. The child was gone, and as long as Lin Yu was here, it was good.
Tao Xingye kept repeating these words in his mind. He forced himself to forget what Lin Yu said, those words about taking the child with her own hands, those words about aborting their child for Jiang Shuang, which were enough to drive him crazy.
"It's gone, it's gone. Take care of yourself and give me another child." Tao Xingye held Lin Yu's cold calf and rubbed it to warm her up. It was okay to take revenge on him. After all, Lin Yu felt relieved. The mistakes he made as a child finally brought retribution. He deserved it. But could you please not mention Jiang Shuang in the future? Don't use this method to retaliate against him again.
"It's not good for your health..." Tao Xingye's tears fell drop by drop, almost burning a hole in Lin Yu's calf.
"I said I aborted your child for Jiang Shuang."
"I know."
"I said I did it for Jiang Shuang."
"I know."
"I said I did it for Jiang Shuang, to get revenge on you, and to make you feel bad so that you can abort your child!" Lin Yu was hysterical, pulling Tao Xingye's collar and pushing him away.
Tao Xingye was also going crazy, "I know, I know, I know!" His voice was getting louder and louder, but when he opened his mouth to say something, no sound came out. He could only suppress the hundreds of emotions that he wanted to tell Lin Yu, and just looked at Lin Yu quietly.
He staggered to his feet, holding on to the sofa, and bent down to pick up Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was exhausted and staring at something with empty eyes. She wanted to tell Tao Xingye, you don’t know, you never knew.
