Chapter 125 A Touch of Reluctance

"Just kidding!" Ye Qingning said with a fawning expression, "When have I ever not been attentive to you? Your happiness is my happiness!"

Lin Feiyan's heart suddenly stirred. His gaze lingered on her pretty, smiling face for a moment before he lowered his head to drink his soup.

Although he knew she was good at sweet talk, he still couldn't tell whether her words came from the bottom of her heart.

It seems that she is always on guard, ready to shower him with sweet words, when she is around him.

But the way she said it made it so natural that Lin Feiyan couldn't tell if it was true or false.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, Chen Chu said he'll pick you up at four tomorrow. Are you going on a business trip?" Ye Qingning asked.

Lin Feiyan nodded: "I have a small matter to attend to in the neighboring city."

Ye Qingning nodded: "Then I understand."

The "small matter" Lin Feiyan mentioned that required his personal attention must have cost at least several hundred million, yet the man remained completely nonchalant about it...

They really are rich!

Ye Qingning was inwardly complaining when Lin Feiyan suddenly asked, "I remember you said you've been to many cities, so is there any city you particularly like?"

"Huh?" Ye Qingning's mind raced, but the original owner's memories were not triggered. She didn't even know where the original owner had been, so she could only smile awkwardly: "Qing City, huh? I really like it here."

Lin Feiyan's gaze fell on her seemingly calm but actually somewhat flustered eyes, and he smiled silently after a moment.

"I remember you also said that there is no one in this world who cares about you, and you don't seem to be very satisfied with your family, so what is there here that you like?"

Ye Qingning avoided Lin Feiyan's gaze. She realized that the man seemed to be settling scores with her for some incoherent, heartfelt words she had uttered in a moment of panic.

She said with some helplessness, "Actually, I didn't come to this city on my own initiative, I had no choice."

She shrugged, looking thoughtful: "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it and treat this place as my favorite city. That way, I'll be happier."

"Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?" Lin Feiyan had already silently finished a bowl of soup and was wiping his mouth with a tissue.

Ye Qingning glanced up and saw his handsome face bathed in the soft lamplight, his usually deep eyes now showing a gentler light.

A thought struck her: "No, this place is just fine."

The crucial point is that she doesn't know what other places exist in this world, or whether their names are the same as those in her original world...

She wouldn't dare to say anything reckless.

Their eyes met, and Lin Feiyan noticed a hint of sadness in Ye Qingning's eyes. He smiled and said, "Since you like her, stay here. I won't let anyone bully you."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I've said before that I'll treat this place as home, not a battlefield. I hope you'll understand what I mean someday."

After speaking, the man turned his wheelchair and left the restaurant. Ye Qingning sat silently for a while, her mind filled with complicated thoughts.

"Since you like it here, then stay. I won't let anyone bully you... I've said before that you should treat this place as home, not a battlefield..."

Ye Qingning sighed and slumped onto the dining table, feeling inexplicably unsettled.

Her greatest wish used to be to leave this house as soon as possible. Now that the female lead has appeared, she is trying her best to bring the male and female leads together, and her favorite career has also made a good start...

It seemed like the day of departure was getting closer, but she suddenly felt a pang of reluctance in her heart.

She didn't even know why she was reluctant to part with it.

This was clearly the ending she had always wanted...
