"Sister, the hot pot at this restaurant is so delicious, you should try it too."
Wen Xingyue also used chopsticks to pick up a beef meatball for her.
"Okay, Yue will eat too."
Looking into her younger sister's soft and beautiful eyes, Wen Lingyue felt a slight respite from her oppressive chest.
Huo Tingxiao, on the other hand, was not talkative. He was simply cooking Wen Xingyue's favorite dishes.
It's not his place to interfere in the relationship between Yan Chengyue and Wen Lingyue.
When it comes to matters of the heart, only the people involved truly know the truth.
Both of them have their own paths to pursue.
Those who are meant to be together will always be together.
...
After the four finished their meal, they prepared to go home.
"Sister..." Wen Xingyue quietly approached Wen Lingyue.
"Hmm?" Wen Lingyue looked down at her.
"Sister, this Mr. Yan is handsome and pleasing to the eye. Sister, you can spend more time with him when you have time."
Wen Xingyue glanced at the two men talking beside her and lowered her voice.
Being close to Mr. Yan can help stabilize her mind, and spending more time with Mr. Yan will benefit her mood.
Wen Xingyue couldn't tell Wen Lingyue the real reason directly, so she could only say it this way.
Yan Chengyue, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh.
Once he finally wins her over, he'll definitely give Wen Xingyue a huge red envelope.
Wen Lingyue felt utterly helpless.
She didn't even need to look at Yan Chengyue's face; that man was definitely secretly delighted.
"Um."
Knowing her sister meant well, and fearing that she might overthink things if she didn't agree, Wen Lingyue sighed and agreed.
What kind of situation is this?
I originally invited my sister to dinner hoping she could help me out of a difficult situation, but now that she's here, things seem even more complicated.
Especially Yan Chengyue, with her younger sister, she felt she couldn't get rid of her for the time being.
"Sister, shall we take you home?"
Wen Xingyue looked at the sky, which had become completely dark, and was worried about Wen Lingyue going back alone.
"No need, it's getting late. You and Huo Tingxiao should go back. I'll take the bus back later; it's very safe."
It's already past 7 p.m., and by the time her younger sister finishes dropping her off, it will be quite late before she gets back. Wen Lingyue pinched her sister's cheek and said with a smile.
It's not that she can't afford a car, she just doesn't like driving it.
Although the Huo and Wen families were not far apart, they were going in opposite directions, and it would be very late by the time he dropped her off and returned home.
"Miss Wen, don't worry, I drove, and it's on my way. I'll take your sister home later."
Yan Chengyue noticed their situation and spoke up.
Yan Chengyue pointed to the car parked not far outside the store.
"Then... I'll trouble you to take my sister home."
Wen Xingyue looked at Yan Chengyue, who had volunteered, rolled her eyes, and agreed.
[I've been wanting to spend more time with my sister and Mr. Yan, and now this is the perfect opportunity.]
"Huo Tingxiao, let's go home quickly, or Mom and Dad will worry."
Wen Xingyue turned around and moved closer to Huo Tingxiao.
"good."
Without giving Wen Lingyue a chance to speak, the couple left, singing in unison.
In the end, only Yan Chengyue and Wen Lingyue remained.
"I remember the Yan family is in the north of the city, right? The Wen family is in the south of the city."
Wen Lingyue glanced sideways at the man who was blatantly lying.
"It's on my way to take you anywhere, and Miss Wen has entrusted me with the important task of taking you home. If I don't do it, my parents will definitely scold me when I get back," Yan Chengyue said with a smile.
"...Yan Chengyue, we're not a good match. You've heard what A-Yue said. My upbringing wasn't good, and I can tell you clearly that I also have a bad temper. If you really like me, it will be very tiring for you."
Looking at the man's smiling face, Wen Lingyue sighed.
Let's lay things out and make things clear.
"...I'm not afraid. Didn't Miss Wen say that I'm your benefactor? A benefactor is someone who should help you."
Yan Chengyue said it jokingly.
"What Yueyue said may be true or false, you don't need to take it to heart, it's not necessarily true."
You saw me lose control of my emotions last time. I don't know when I'll get emotional. Yan Chengyue, we're not right for each other.
Wen Lingyue looked at him intently.
When Wen Lingyue mentioned the last time, she was referring to the time they went to the hospital to see Chen Wanjun, saying they were going to buy something but never returned.
The last time she and Yan Chengyue left the hospital, they had just walked into a store when they saw her former adoptive parents.
When Wen Lingyue left the small mountain village, she took all the money from the couple and set fire to the house, watching it burn before leaving.
She had assumed they had died in the fire, but to her surprise, they had survived and even made it to the capital.
The couple recognized her and started yelling at her, demanding money from her.
Thinking of what that couple had done to her in her past life, Wen Lingyue lost control of her emotions and wished she could kill them.
Fortunately, Yan Chengyue stopped her in time.
During her emotional breakdown, she calmed herself down while sending the couple to prison.
Thinking back to how he held her in his arms and comforted her gently, Wen Lingyue's heart, which had been encased in ice, cracked slightly.
Some people are kind to her...
Not everyone dislikes her...
"I don't know if what Miss Wen said is true or false. I only know that I love you. You don't need to rush to reject me. I can wait. Lingling, I like you, not because I pity you."
Yan Chengyue suppressed the smile in his eyes and looked down at her seriously.
Wen Lingyue's eyelashes trembled; she didn't dare look Yan Chengyue in the eye.
Isn't it pitiful?
It wasn't because I had seen her pitiful side—her breakdown, confusion, and pain.
"Lingling, please give me a chance. Just keep walking on your path. It doesn't matter if you're covered in ice, it doesn't matter if you're covered in thorns, it doesn't matter if the door is locked or the key is lost. I'm not afraid and I won't give up. Just give me a chance to chase after you, okay?"
The usually unruly man softened his tone when faced with a girl covered in thorns, begging for a chance to pursue her.
He knew she had encountered many bad things, and he regretted not meeting her sooner, and not protecting her when she was hurt.
Now that he's met her, Yan Chengyue doesn't want to give himself no chance at all.
"Yan Chengyue, why bother? Liking someone who is inherently terrible is exhausting." Wen Lingyue looked up at the dim streetlights, her voice light and ethereal.
The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the festive atmosphere is already faintly present on the streets.
Looking into the distance, one can see the backs of the younger sister and Huo Tingxiao walking away hand in hand.
Wen Lingyue was confused.
She couldn't quite articulate her feelings for the time being.
"Whether you feel tired or not depends on the person who enjoys it. If you have love to support you, you won't feel tired."
A firm and steady voice reached my ears.
The new year is coming.
