Before returning to Courtyard No. 1, Zhou Lirong's words were like a large stone thrown into Lin Yue's heart, stirring up ripples.
"Yueyue, Mom hopes you can persuade Yunzheng not to be so ruthless in his actions. Leaving some room for maneuver is beneficial for both himself and others. Mom firmly believes in the principle of karmic retribution, so consider it as accumulating good deeds."
“His current actions and behavior are decisive and resolute, and I guess the main reason is because of you.” Zhou Lirong’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Me?" Lin Yue pointed to herself in confusion.
"Yes, Yun Zheng is an exceptionally rational and clear-headed person. He knows exactly what he wants. He can remain calm and composed in the face of anyone or anything, like a master chess player who can easily control his emotions and build high walls to isolate anyone who wants to get close to him."
"Although he always has a smile on his face and seems to be able to chat and laugh with anyone, his heart is closed and no one can get in, including me. His father and I have never understood him. Only you are the key to open his heart."
"He values you more than his own life, so he becomes extremely sensitive and nervous when dealing with matters related to you, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. Therefore, Yueyue, try to be more tolerant of him and forgive his occasional overreactions."
...
Pushing open the study door, Lin Yue peeked inside and saw him sitting upright at his desk, intently looking at the computer screen.
She walked lightly up behind him, leaned forward, and looked at him with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Song Yunzheng smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Some work-related matters have been taken care of."
Lin Yue nodded, her eyes darting around a couple of times. She gently stroked his earlobe with her slender, white hand, and asked casually, "What did you and Yunxi talk about in the study tonight? You seemed pretty angry?"
Song Yunzheng did not explain, but simply smiled faintly.
Lin Yue cupped his face in her hands, mimicking his previous gestures, and teased his eyes and brows, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
What do you want to know?
Lin Yue felt a throbbing sensation between her brows; how could he have seen through her so easily?
She feigned composure, hooking her arms around his neck, her eyes filled with seductive allure. "That depends on what you want to tell me?"
Seeing her like this, Song Yunzheng couldn't help but rub her head. "Why do you always find things to make things difficult for yourself?"
Lin Yue smiled, pursing her lips. Well, she was like a transparent person in front of him; nothing could be hidden from him.
She gently held his hand. "Honey, what I want to say is, could you please go a little easier on Yu Zhe? I think Mom is right, showing some leniency is like doing a good deed."
Song Yunzheng remained unmoved. "Do you understand the saying 'let the tiger return to the mountain'? If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. I don't want to be stabbed in the back one day and become a fish on the chopping block. Besides, I'm only targeting him personally; I won't touch his family business."
"Aren't you afraid that the Yu family will come looking for revenge in the future?"
"I'm available anytime." Song Yunzheng stood up abruptly; he no longer wanted to continue this topic.
Lin Yue hurriedly grabbed him from behind, her voice tinged with pleading: "Husband..."
"I don't like you pleading for other men. It's one thing for my parents to plead, but not for you!" Song Yunzheng narrowed his eyes, his breathing becoming slightly heavy.
Lin Yue looked at him earnestly, "You are a very, very good person. I just don't want you to be labeled as cold and heartless. You can leave the punishment to the police, okay?"
Song Yunzheng's eyes flickered slightly. "I never care what others think of me, I only care about you. Yueyue, you need to know that being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. This society is far more cruel than you imagine, don't be so naive."
"Yes! I was naive. I didn't understand those survival rules you mentioned. I only know that you shouldn't go too far in anything. No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger. There's always someone better. Show some mercy, even if it's just a little bit. It won't do you any harm."
Lin Yue paused, then let out a deep breath. "Let bygones be bygones. I'm not pleading for anyone. All I care about is you. I don't want you to exhaust yourself fighting with others in the future. I just want to live a good life with you. We'll have a lovely baby in the future. Do you understand?"
As she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the child she had lost, and her nose stung with tears, her voice trembling with a sob.
Song Yunzheng turned around and pulled her into his arms, his voice filled with pain, "Lin Yue, you are sent by God to torment me, you must be!"
Just when Lin Yue thought he was going to agree, she heard him slowly say, "I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can't do as you say. Let's not talk about it anymore. Get some rest. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, our second New Year. Think about what gift you want."
Lin Yue sighed softly and shook her head. "I just hope you're doing well."
...
On New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys were filled with a strong festive atmosphere. Everywhere you looked, there was Chinese red, and dragon and lion dances could be seen everywhere. Elderly people were dressed in festive costumes.
Yunxi, who was on holiday, took a rare break and brought Rong Youze to the temple fair. They strolled from one end of the street to the other and ate all kinds of snacks.
As they walked, they looked around. She saw a well-dressed and eye-catching middle-aged couple enjoying afternoon tea in the coffee shop. They smiled at each other from time to time, looking peaceful and content, which made her quite envious.
Yunxi was so engrossed in watching that she didn't realize it. When she came to her senses, she turned her head and noticed that there was a woman in front of her who was also staring at her.
She was slightly taken aback, and just as she was about to turn and leave, the woman strode toward them.
