"Where are you going? I'll take you there. If you keep getting soaked in this heavy rain, even if your foot injury doesn't flare up again, you'll catch a cold."
Despite being apart for almost a month, he was still worried about her foot injury. Yes, she still owed him hospital fees and was unable to pay them back.
Ye Wenyu didn't want to face Lin Tingfeng anymore. She was truly afraid that if she continued to stand there dumbfounded with her back to him, he would definitely reach out and turn her around, and then he would see her face—
Her terrifying face—
If he sees her true colors, all our efforts will be in vain, and the tragedy of our past life will repeat itself.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu was so frightened that she pushed Lin Tingfeng behind her hard, and then ran away like a rabbit into the heavy rain.
However, she was so nervous and scared that in her panic she tripped over a lamppost. With a loud bang, she hit her face and fell backward. Her ears were ringing as if a million bees were flying over her. She landed right in Lin Tingfeng's arms. Just as he was about to see her face, in the pouring rain, she had no choice but to cover her face with her hands.
Lin Tingfeng was following behind her when he realized she would be hit by the lamppost and fall straight toward him. In his haste, he only had time to throw away the large umbrella in his hand and reach out to catch her. Otherwise, if she had fallen headfirst onto the concrete ground, she would probably have suffered a concussion.
She's so beautiful and a top student at a prestigious university; it wouldn't be good if she fell and became mentally disabled.
Now the two of them were in the pouring rain, a white, thick downpour. Lin Tingfeng looked at the girl in his arms in the rain. She had her eyes closed and covered her face with her hands, but her fair and delicate face peeked out from between her fingers. He smiled and said gently, "So you were afraid I would see your true face? Sigh, no need to hide it anymore. Back in the hospital, I already knew that you didn't have that ugly birthmark on your face."
What? Like a bolt from the blue, Ye Wenyu was stunned. His mind raced with countless thoughts in just a few seconds. What did he mean by that?
In the hospital, while she was unconscious, did he secretly observe her true appearance? Indeed, one night, she felt him come and be beside her, but in the morning she saw Yuan Yuan instead. She wondered if it was just a dream.
If he had already discovered his true colors but acted so coldly, it could only mean that in this life, he didn't love her with the same cunning and scheming as he did in the previous life.
If that's the case, that would be wonderful.
Lin Tingfeng shouldn't have liked me in the first place. He's such a high-status and influential person, surrounded by beautiful women; how could he possibly like someone as poor, without family background or connections as me? Therefore—
Lin Tingfeng was blind in his previous life, will he continue to be blind in this life as well?
So it's very likely that he's right.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu slowly removed her hand from her face and looked at Lin Tingfeng curiously. The rain was pouring down, and Lin Tingfeng was soaked to the bone. Fortunately, his driver got out of the car. Concerned for his master, the loyal old driver picked up an umbrella from the ground and silently stood behind them to shield them from the wind and rain.
Ye Wenyu forced a smile and struggled to stand up from Lin Tingfeng's embrace. Feeling relaxed, she even smiled at him.
Lin Tingfeng smiled at her, looked around, and said politely, "The rain is too heavy. Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Ye Wenyu nodded, thinking that from now on she wouldn't have to work so hard to put on makeup every day or wear a mask, and she felt very relieved. A big problem was finally solved.
The heavy weight on my heart has finally been lifted, and life feels so much easier now.
The two got into the car, a large RV that was like a suite, fully furnished with all the necessary appliances. The driver drove quietly in front, and Ye Wenyu asked Lin Tingfeng curiously, "How do you know what I really look like?"
Lin Tingfeng smiled, glanced at her, and said gently, "My sister met you before, on the plane. She told me you were very beautiful, so when we met in person and I saw the ugly birthmark on your face, I became suspicious."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyu slapped her forehead, realizing how stupid she had been; Lin Tingyue was an eyewitness!
It turned out that all her painstaking efforts were nothing more than a ridiculous farce in his eyes.
In his presence, she felt as stupid as a pig.
“However—” Lin Tingfeng was amused by her annoyed look. He said calmly, “I didn’t ask my sister to verify it because I told you that I didn’t really care about your appearance. Now look, it doesn’t seem to make much difference whether you have a birthmark or not.”
Ye Wenyu touched her face, thinking, "Lin Tingfeng, can you be any more fake? Are you that Dong Ge who doesn't know his wife is beautiful? Whether or not there's a birthmark makes a big difference. She can clearly feel it herself, yet he actually says there's not much difference."
Lin Tingfeng leaned back in his car seat and slowly said to Ye Wenyu, "I don't care if you don't believe me. I can find out someone's real appearance in just three minutes, but I only saw it when you were hospitalized last time—"
What? Like a thunderclap, Ye Wenyu froze, her body frozen in place, her heart pounding wildly, her ears perked up as she listened intently.
Sure enough, during his last hospitalization, he secretly saw what she really looked like.
Lin Tingfeng laughed and said, "On your first night in the hospital, I came to see you. At that time, you were so tired from studying that you fell asleep. Your textbooks were all open. When I was tidying up your textbooks, I saw that your mask had fallen off, and your face was covered in stains. All your makeup had fallen off." He said this with a mischievous smile on his face. Ye Wenyu heard him say so much for the first time, and her usually composed face showed a happy expression.
"So that's how it is!" Ye Wenyu blushed deeply. She didn't utter a sound, thinking to herself, "So I was the biggest fool of all! And I was so delusional, thinking that Lin Tingfeng in this life would also fall in love with me, and then using some stupid tricks that could only deceive myself, not others." She had spent a lot of money on cosmetics to remove this birthmark, and now that she thought about it, it was such a waste. You know, for a poor person like her, not a single penny could be wasted.
Just then, she saw that she had arrived at the neighborhood where she was taking tutoring classes, and immediately said to the driver in front, "We're here, please stop."
Lin Tingfeng gestured to the driver to stop the car, and the car came to a stop, while the rain outside continued to pour down.
Ye Wenyu glanced at Lin Tingfeng, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him with a hint of embarrassment, "I'm very happy to hear you say that." Her tense skin had relaxed, and she felt inexplicably happy.
