Chapter 798 And she is not worthy.
The girl's voice faded away completely towards the end, becoming almost inaudible.
Fu Nian'an pursed his thin lips into a line and quietly looked at her.
Despite having prepared herself mentally, Fu Nian'an still couldn't remain unmoved when she actually saw her back down.
Perhaps this is the terrifying aspect of emotions.
Even the usually rational man couldn't help but speak coldly: "Le Yan, let me ask you one more question. Look up at me."
Le Yan hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her head.
The moment their eyes met, Le Yan's breath hitched slightly.
This was probably the first time she had seen Fu Nian'an with such a serious expression in all the time she had known him.
"You, you asked..."
Fu Nian'an looked directly into her eyes, his deep voice echoing in the car: "If I hadn't restrained myself last night, if we had done it, would you still have said those things?"
Le Yan's pupils trembled, her beautiful eyes widened, both shocked and seemingly a little shy.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her mouth, but couldn't answer for a long time.
The two stared at each other silently, and it was Le Yan who gave in first.
She lowered her eyes and head, "I didn't know anything about what happened..."
Fu Nian'an, however, insisted on getting an answer from her.
The man's large hand gently cupped her cheek, lifting her face and forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Tell me, if we did it, would you still say it didn't happen?"
Le Yan's heart was racing.
She never imagined that things would progress between her and Fu Nian'an; what happened last night had completely exceeded her expectations.
Fu Nian'an was so perfect, so dazzling; the gap between them was too great.
She dared not have any illusions, not because she felt that Fu Nian'an looked down on her, but because she felt that she was not worthy of such a perfect and outstanding Fu Nian'an.
The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness. Since the age of thirteen, Le Yan has been constantly reminded of this phrase by those around her.
She was a jinx who was disliked from birth;
She is an illegitimate daughter whom even her biological father refuses to acknowledge.
She is a female celebrity with a lot of scandals who is being criticized and attacked online.
How could someone like her be worthy of Fu Nian'an?
She was terrified, terrified that her existence would bring shame upon Mr. Fu, whom everyone respected...
Fu Nian'an is so perfect; he deserves the best woman in the world.
She doesn't deserve it.
“Le Yan, answer me.” Fu Nian’an stared at her. “I want to hear the truth. Tell me.”
He held Le Yan's cheeks firmly in his hands.
She couldn't lower her head, but her thoughts had already veered away, and finally she lowered her eyes.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Le Yan clearly felt a dense, persistent pain rising in her heart.
“Even if such a thing really happened…” Le Yan pursed her trembling lips, closed her eyes, and forced back the hot tears, “I’ll accept it.”
Fu Nian'an was taken aback.
The fingers of the hands holding the girl twitched slightly.
"Lin Leyan, you don't even dare to look me in the eye. I don't believe your words."
Fu Nian'an released her, pressed her head down with his large hand, and softened his voice, "I was too anxious. It's okay, I'll give you time."
Le Yan paused for a moment.
Just then, the shop assistant came out of the pharmacy carrying a packet of decocted medicine.
"The medicine is ready, I'll go down and get it." Fu Nian'an pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
The car door wasn't closed. Le Yan looked up and saw Fu Nian'an standing there, receiving the medicine packet from the shop assistant.
His figure was very tall, and his long black trench coat accentuated his outstanding temperament. The female shop assistants were too embarrassed to look him in the eye when they spoke to him.
In that respectful yet slightly shy manner, Le Yan seemed to see herself.
Initially, she was just like the female shop assistant. Faced with Fu Nian'an's perfection, ordinary girls would subconsciously regard themselves as insignificant passersby, right?
Le Yan truly never imagined that she would have any emotional entanglement with Fu Nian'an.
How dare you?
How could I dare?
She didn't dare.
She, Lin Leyan, is a coward.
...
Fu Nian'an placed the medicine packet in the back seat.
Then, I got into the car and fastened my seatbelt.
Le Yan sat quietly in the passenger seat.
The conversation had been abruptly ended, and now the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Fu Nian'an glanced at the girl in the passenger seat who was silent and didn't dare to look at him, and sighed inwardly.
Ultimately, it was too impulsive.
Knowing full well that she might not be mentally prepared yet, I still rashly broke the ice.
The girl is too honest and straightforward, lacking self-consistency and the ability to hide her emotions. She may feel immense pressure even when facing him in the future.
Fu Nian'an didn't want to put too much pressure on Le Yan, so he didn't bring up what had just happened. He simply asked, "Shall we go back to Xiaohai Village now?"
Le Yan paused slightly, then nodded, "Yes, let's go back."
"Okay, buckle up."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan hurriedly reached for the seatbelt.
Fu Nian'an waited for her to fasten her seatbelt before shifting gears and stepping on the gas.
The black luxury car drove towards Xiaohai Village.
The two of them remained silent the entire way.
Fu Nian'an was worried that Le Yan would be too tense, so she turned on the car's music halfway through the journey.
Inside the enclosed carriage, soft, melodious music played.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Le Yan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She thought that between herself and Fu Nian'an, she would be the one who secretly loved and pursued him.
So from the very beginning, she had already accepted the fact that she would not be seen, would not be accepted, and that the agreement would soon end and she would have to withdraw from Fu Nian'an's life.
But now everything has exceeded her expectations.
Le Yan felt more uneasy about the fact that Fu Nian'an liked her than about the fact that Fu Nian'an didn't like her.
She was afraid that Fu Nian'an's affection for her was just a passing fancy, and even more afraid that this affection was mixed with pity.
She was even more afraid that she would completely fall for Fu Nian'an because of his current affection for her.
I'm afraid that if she gets together with Fu Nian'an now, she won't be able to accept it if they break up someday.
That feeling was like a story that Le Yan had once read.
The girl was born and raised in a pile of inconspicuous stones. She was used to her world being just a pile of stones, but one day a sparkling sapphire fell from the sky.
The appearance of the sapphire illuminated the ordinary stones, turning them pale and unappealing. Because of that sapphire, the girl saw a different world.
She held the gems with great pride, using the sapphires that had been transformed into various colors to build castles, ponds, and paths. Her life became vibrant and interesting, all thanks to the appearance of the sapphires.
But one day, the sapphire disappeared.
The stones lost their color, collapsed with a crash, and returned to their original, ordinary state as ruins.
The girl clearly remembered what the gem looked like, and the warmth of holding it in her palm. But the gem was gone. She searched again and again among the pile of stones where she used to be so comfortable, trying to find it again, to possess it once more...
However, the stones cut her hands and slashed her feet, leaving her covered in wounds. The sapphire, however, vanished like a dream and never reappeared.
The ordinary pile of stones began to suffocate and disgust the girl, but she couldn't get out. She was trapped in that ordinary pile of stones that she had relied on for survival since birth, and she was consciously and painfully reminiscing about the lost sapphire.
Le Yan was afraid of becoming the girl in the story.
