Chapter 122 Is this how you pursue someone?
In the end, Lin Xiyin did as he wished.
Pei Muye drove himself, and she sat in the passenger seat.
She didn't say a word the whole way.
After seeing her downstairs, Pei Muyi asked, "What time will be convenient for you tomorrow morning?"
Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "Eight o'clock, shall we?"
“I’ll come at 7:30,” Pei Muye said; “I’ll bring you breakfast.”
"No need." Lin Xiyin unbuckled her seatbelt. "Auntie can do it."
"I'd like to see your son," Pei Muye said. "Shall I go with you to pick him up tomorrow night?"
Lin Xiyin went to open the car door, but found it wouldn't open.
Pei Muye locked the car.
"Pei Muye!"
Lin Xiyin was really angry.
Pei Muyi looked at her leisurely: "Not calling me President Pei anymore?"
"What exactly do you want?!"
Pei Muye said, "I told you I wanted to pursue you."
"Is this how you pursue someone?" Lin Xiyin's voice was filled with anger. "No matter what, you're always aloof and self-assured, never considering other people's feelings. You didn't know how to respect people before, and you still are now. Pei Muyi, your pursuit is beyond my reach!"
Pei Muye frowned; "When have I ever disrespected you?"
Lin Xiyin had long since let go of those past events.
She didn't even want to mention Pei Muye in front of her.
"Then how am I supposed to pursue her?" Pei Muye sighed. "I don't know how to pursue someone. I don't know how. No matter what I do, it seems like everything I do is wrong in your eyes..."
“You really don’t need to do this,” Lin Xiyin said. “Everything you do is wrong because I don’t like you. Pei Muyi, don’t waste your energy.”
"I just want to know, where did I disrespect you?"
“Okay.” Lin Xiyin took a deep breath: “If something will make people particularly unhappy, and you insist on doing it, that’s disrespectful. Moreover, whatever you do, you only ever consider your own wishes, and you never care what others think.”
"Then what am I supposed to do? You don't want to see me, you want to keep your distance, so how am I supposed to pursue you?"
“It’s not just about chasing people.” Lin Xiyin sighed, feeling utterly helpless: “Pei Muyi, stop doing this, I’m exhausted.”
“But I don’t know what other way I can get close to you,” Pei Muye said. “I can’t forget you. Even though you were so cruel three years ago, aborting our child, I still can’t forget you. Lin Xiyin, what do you want me to do? Do you know how much pain I’m in?”
The culprit that caused me so much suffering for so many years is now saying that I'm suffering.
Lin Xiyin didn't know how she felt.
She just felt tired.
“I didn’t want to tell you this,” Pei Muyi said with difficulty. “I know what kind of person I am. I usually keep things to myself and don’t talk about them much. But, if I don’t tell you about us, we’ll miss out for a lifetime. Lin Xiyin, I don’t want to be strangers to you in the future.”
Lin Xiyin thought, how wonderful it would be if time could turn back.
Six years ago, no, even three years ago, if she had heard these words, she wouldn't have been troubled by love for so many years.
If love at first sight is lust at first sight, then her affection for Pei Muye began with his looks but remained loyal to his character.
When they first met, she was indeed amazed; Pei Muye's face was exactly what she looked like.
Even after she met Chi Tianlin, whose features were even more refined.
But in Lin Xiyin's eyes, the most handsome man was still Pei Muye.
But even though he was so handsome, it was only one meeting, and that wasn't enough to completely capture her heart.
I met Pei Muyi again later.
That incident was quite dangerous. A little boy ran into the middle of the road while retrieving a ball and was almost hit by a car. At the last second, Pei Muye pulled the child back to safety.
Lin Xiyin was also at the scene at the time. She also wanted to save the child, but she was too far away.
She saw Pei Muyi save the person clearly.
At first, he thought the child was his relative, but then the child's mother came over, knelt down in front of him, and cried uncontrollably.
He didn't say anything, just waved and left.
From that moment on, Lin Xiyin had him in her heart.
Love comes so unexpectedly, and she never had another man in her heart again.
This man wasted her entire youth.
Now, Lin Xiyin is only twenty-seven years old, but she feels that she is already old, at least in terms of her mindset.
So even after hearing Pei Muyi's words, she was only momentarily distracted before quickly returning to normal.
She said, "Some things are just beyond our control. Mr. Pei, I really don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, so why are you putting yourself through this?"
"There are some things that I still want to tell you, even though they are in the past."
Pei Muye didn't dare look at her; his gaze fell on the green plants beside him.
He remembered the gift he had bought, which was the thing he most wanted to explain.
"The earrings I bought you that time..."
Pei Muye paused for a moment before speaking.
“The necklace and earrings were meant for you. When I got home, I ran into Qingwan. She really liked them, and I thought she had taken the earrings.”
"I didn't expect that she was holding a necklace."
"Because you don't like earrings, I was thinking of buying you some later, instead of giving them all to her since you don't like them anyway."
"I don't know if similar things have happened again, and I don't pay much attention to that."
"If so, I apologize to you."
"I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"It won't happen again."
His words pulled Lin Xiyin's thoughts back to that day.
She recalled Ming Qingwan's smug boasting.
I recall the pain I felt back then.
Now, with Pei Muyi's casual "I'm sorry," this matter should be over.
Otherwise, it would make her seem immature and petty.
But who will pay for her pain, sadness, and bitterness at that time?
She deserved it.
I shouldn't have fallen in love with a man like Pei Muye.
Pei Muyi was still a little unaccustomed to talking so much.
After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed.
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Lin Xiyin.
Her eyes were a little red, her gaze was lowered, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Pei Muye had seen her like this before.
At times like these, Pei Muye really wanted to hug her.
But every time Pei Muye saw Lin Xiyin's eyes, the coldness in her gaze would make him stop in his tracks.
But today, he doesn't want to back down anymore.
He leaned over and reached out to hug Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin was caught off guard and never expected the man to do such a thing.
When she came to her senses, her nose was already brushing against the man's shirt, filled with his cool, refreshing scent.
It has a light, pleasant scent.
Lin Xiyin instinctively pushed him.
Pei Muye wouldn't let go: "Don't move. I've wanted to hold you like this for a long time, just to hold you and do nothing. Ruanruan, let me hold you for a while."
Lin Xiyin found that although she spoke resolutely, she seemed unable to resist Pei Muye's pursuit, even if he only said a few more words.
This realization made her stand on end with sharp thorns.
She pushed Pei Muyi away forcefully, her eyes reddening: "Is this what you call respecting people? I said no, and this is indecent assault!"
She went to open the car door again, and Pei Muyi dared not lock it anymore, so he had no choice but to unlock it.
Lin Xiyin got out of the car and walked quickly forward.
She heard the car door close behind her, followed by footsteps.
Pei Muye wanted to grab her arm, but remembering her words, he withdrew his hand.
He began, "Xiao Ruoyi asked me why I married you in the first place."
Lin Xiyin paused in her steps.
"It's because I like you," Pei Muye said directly. "I begged my grandfather to agree to this. The only person I want to marry is you."
Lin Xiyin was filled with mixed feelings and couldn't calm down for a while.
She lifted her leg and continued walking forward.
This time, the footsteps behind him disappeared.
Her phone rang before she entered the elevator.
It was sent by Pei Muye.
He said: I will pursue you with respect. Get some rest tonight, see you tomorrow.
When Lin Xiyin arrived home, Lin Youxing had already eaten with his aunt and was playing with toys.
He saw Lin Xiyin, rushed over, hugged her neck, kissed her face, and called her "Mommy" in a sticky, affectionate way.
Only when Lin Xiyin saw the child did she suppress all her worries and emotions.
She only had time to clear her mind after she had coaxed Lin Youxing to sleep.
Just then, I received a message from Qu Jingyou.
She said: Sister, I've transferred that money to your Alipay account, go check it out.
You don't need to receive Alipay transfers; they will be credited to your account by default.
Lin Xiyin took a look and was shocked by the amount.
She immediately tried to forward the message back to Qu Jingyou, but found that she couldn't.
She received another message on WeChat and switched to check it.
Qu Jingyou sent: I was afraid my sister wouldn't accept it, so I blocked her. Hehe, I'm so clever, right?
Lin Xiyin smiled helplessly and made a voice call to her.
Qu Jingyou quickly replied, "Sister!"
Lin Xiyin said, "Jingjing, that amount of money is too much; I can't accept it."
“That recipe is yours, sister. You’re contributing your expertise as equity, so you deserve the money,” Qu Jingyou said. “If you keep being so calculating with me, I’ll get angry!”
Lin Xiyin was truly helpless: "But there are just too many..."
“Not much,” Qu Jingyou said. “My brother earns much more! Don’t worry, you don’t need to worry about him being taken advantage of. He’s a businessman, a wicked capitalist.”
Lin Xiyin laughed: "How can you say that about my brother?"
"I'm telling the truth," Qu Jingyou said. "Because my aunt doesn't do that. She earns so much money and does it all in charity. Compared to her, isn't my brother just a wicked capitalist?"
Having no other choice, Lin Xiyin said, "Then I'll keep this money for now..."
"It's for you, so you can buy some delicious food for Youyou."
"How much would we have to buy? Enough for him to eat for a lifetime."
Qu Jingyou said, "This is just the beginning, there's more money to come. Sister, if you keep being so polite with me, I won't call you sister anymore."
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to say, "Well then, thank you, Jingjing, for helping me make money."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Xiyin hung up the phone and sent a message to Xiao Ruoyi, asking if she had any suitable jewelry recommendations, as she wanted to buy some for Qu Jingyou.
Xiao Ruoyi directly asked her to go shopping on the weekend, and Lin Xiyin agreed.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
The aunt opened the door, saw Pei Muye, and couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Xiyin: "Ruan Ruan?"
