Chapter 858 Fu Nian'an is gone
Fu Nian'an grew angrier the more she thought about it, and in her anger she laughed, "Lin Leyan, do you think you're so great, or do you think I'm so stupid?"
Le Yan was taken aback.
Fu Nian'an stepped forward and grabbed Le Yan's chin.
She was not as gentle as she used to be.
Le Yan felt a slight pain in her chin and had to raise her head, her reddened eyes forced to stare at the man.
The man's handsome face was so cold it seemed to drip water.
He stared at Le Yan, his voice cold and filled with anger, "So what if you can't have children? You can't live like this without them?"
boom!
The color drained from Le Yan's face.
She looked at Fu Nian'an in disbelief, "You, how could you..."
"You want to know how I knew you were infertile?"
Fu Nian'an scoffed, "Lin Leyan, stop with your useless little schemes. You're a blank slate in front of me. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your eyes. So don't try to be clever and break up with me for my own good! I won't accept any other reason for breaking up except the fact that you don't love me."
Le Yan stared blankly at Fu Nian'an.
This man sees through her completely.
All her thoughts and emotions were laid bare before him.
The breakup that had been brewing for a month was nothing more than her self-righteous clown behavior in Fu Nian'an's eyes.
Tears streamed down Le Yan's face. She pursed her lips tightly, but the stinging sensation in her nose grew stronger.
She really didn't know what to do.
She didn't want to be a burden to Fu Nian'an; she always felt she owed Fu Nian'an too much.
When Fu Nian'an saw her tears, most of the anger in his eyes instantly dissipated.
He sighed heavily, released his grip on her chin, and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips.
"Yangyang, listen to me, don't think too much. Whether we have a child or not is not important. What's important is that we're together."
Le Yan shook her head, her tears flowing even more freely, "No..."
Fu Nian'an cupped her face in his hands, looked at her with a serious expression, and said, "Yangyang, listen to me. If the person I spend my life with is not you, I would rather grow old alone."
Le Yan's pent-up emotions, which had been building up for a month, finally exploded at this moment.
She pushed Fu Nian'an away forcefully, her eyes red as she yelled at him, "But I can't do it! Fu Nian'an, I can't let you face all this injustice with me! I want to give you a complete and happy family, I want you to have a fulfilling and happy life. You've always been the one helping me, always the one supporting me, and what about me? I can't even give you a complete and happy family..."
"Is it unfair not to have children? Does a marriage without children necessarily mean it's unhappy?" Fu Nian'an laughed angrily, frowning as she retorted, "Lin Leyan, aren't you putting too much importance on children? Let me tell you, I don't mind, I don't mind not having my own children!"
"What about the others?" Le Yan cried out, "Your family will mind too. You are the heir of the Fu family. We can't be so selfish..."
“My family won’t mind,” Fu Nian’an interrupted Le Yan. “You’ve never even met my family, why are you making things up?”
Le Yan clutched her chest. "But I mind."
She looked at Fu Nian'an, tears streaming down her face. "I mind that you can't have a complete life because of my incompleteness. It's my own conscience that's bothering me. Just consider me old-fashioned, just consider me trapped in my own self-imposed limitations! Fu Nian'an, I've tried, I've tried to stop myself from caring about my infertility, but it's so hard... Why should someone as good as you have to suffer because of me? I know it's my own problem, let's just leave it at that..."
I've been very happy during the time I've been with you, but I'm not sure how long this happiness can last without children. Fu Nian'an, just consider it my selfishness, let's... call it quits..."
Fu Nian'an frowned, her deep eyes fixed on Le Yan.
Her pain and self-blame left him helpless.
The hardest thing to untangle is a knot in one's heart.
Seeing her stubborn refusal to compromise, Fu Nian'an realized that he had no way to deal with her at all.
His chest heaved, and his breathing was heavy.
This was the first time he had experienced such an unfamiliar emotion.
I was both annoyed and felt a little wronged.
"Lin Leyan, you're so stubborn!" Fu Nian'an sighed helplessly, gritting her teeth as she said, "I don't agree to break up, but I can give you some time to calm down."
Le Yan stared at him, tears streaming down her face.
Fu Nian'an sighed, "I won't bother you during this time, but remember, I'm just giving you time to calm down. We won't break up. I have a lifetime to wait for you. There will always be a place for you by my side."
As Fu Nian'an spoke, she took out a few wet wipes and helped her wipe off the smudged makeup.
"Focus on filming, and take your Chinese medicine on time." Fu Nian'an's voice was low. "I'll give you time, Yan Yan, I can wait. But I also hope you can be fair to me. If you really love me, be brave for me. I'm making this clear to you today: if the person I marry isn't you, then I will choose to live alone forever."
“Fu Nian’an…” Le Yan’s tears fell like broken pearls.
"I'm leaving." Fu Nian'an ruffled her hair and leaned down to kiss her head heavily. "Filming is hard work, take care of yourself."
Le Yan was stunned.
Through her blurry vision, Fu Nian'an turned and walked towards the door.
She subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to say something to persuade him to stay, but she held back.
Fu Nian'an pushed open the door and paused for a moment.
He didn't turn back, but he didn't leave immediately either.
The hand gripping the doorknob tightened slightly.
After waiting for more than half a minute, Le Yan still did not try to persuade him to stay.
He closed his eyes, suppressed his emotions, maintained the last shred of reason and dignity, and stepped out of the dressing room.
The door to the dressing room slowly closed.
Outside the door, Fu Nian'an gazed at the night sky ahead, a hint of confusion appearing in her dark eyes.
So what if he maintained his dignity and rationality?
From the moment Le Yan backed down, he had already lost control of the relationship.
In matters of the heart, he is just an ordinary man who needs to be recognized and chosen by his lover.
...
In the dressing room, Le Yan slowly squatted down, covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
She didn't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry".
Feeling inferior, she felt she wasn't a good partner, and she didn't want Fu Nian'an to always bear various pressures because of her.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have accepted Fu Nian'an in the first place, and shouldn't have greedily enjoyed the kindness he showed her.
The current painful situation is all because of her.
Perhaps Lin Xiuying was right; she was a jinx, a jinx.
She is not good enough for Fu Nian'an.
...
Before leaving, Fu Nian'an went to find Yu Changze.
With a large crew, Fu Nian'an knew that her visit to the set was somewhat risky.
Therefore, he approached Yu Changze as an investor.
Releasing this film as a commercial film is actually quite risky, but given Yu Changze's talent, it's not a big deal.
Especially his works after retiring for many years, investors were scrambling to get involved.
Fu Nian'an never invests in film and television, but he made an exception for Le Yan this time.
Yu Changze actually had many choices, but since Fu Nian'an had spoken, he had no reason to refuse.
After the two finalized the investment details, Fu Nian'an inquired about Le Yan's situation on the film set.
"So far, Leyan's performance has been very stable. Actually, this part of the plot is the most difficult. Like you, I was initially worried that she would get too immersed in the role and be too affected by the plot. But she is stronger than we imagined. Even the psychologist admires her a lot."
Hearing this, Fu Nian'an's worries subsided somewhat.
He raised his hand and rubbed his aching temples. "I'm leaving tonight. I'll be quite busy afterward and may not be able to come over often. Uncle Yu, I'll need you to take good care of Le Yan here."
Yu Changze patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, after you get married, Le Yan will still have to call me uncle. We're all family, I'll definitely take good care of her for you."
Fu Nian'an nodded solemnly, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yu."
Because she was in Yu Changze's film crew, Fu Nian'an felt more at ease and canceled her original plans that night, returning directly to Beicheng.
Fu Nian'an thought his departure was giving Le Yan space to calm down, but little did she know that a catastrophe was quietly brewing...
