(366)
Although Lin Tingfeng was standing casually, his posture was handsome and upright, as good-looking as a male model.
Ye Wenyu didn't want to answer him. Why should she tell him her private matters unconditionally? Who did he think he was? But for some reason, under his gentle gaze, she nodded as if possessed, which was considered an admission.
After nodding, a wave of annoyance made her face flush. She wondered what was going on. Lin Tingfeng always seemed to have an indescribable magic for her.
Why should she listen to him? A sense of humiliation gripped her heart.
A mountain breeze blew by, and the old leaves of the camphor trees overhead fell one after another, like a slow and heavy rain.
When their feet were covered with fallen leaves, Lin Tingfeng snorted coldly and suddenly said to Ye Wenyu, "Don't agree to their request."
"What?" Ye Wenyu looked up at Lin Tingfeng, puzzled. What did he mean? She couldn't understand. He rarely spoke so quickly.
Lin Tingfeng glanced at her and then slowly repeated, "I mean, don't agree to Lao Cai and his wife's demands."
What? Ye Wenyu blinked, her curiosity growing. How did Lin Tingfeng know that Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai would make a request? Although she had seen her mother and Cai Wenchuan's parents getting along very well at the dinner table, she knew that what was about to happen might be unfavorable to her and put her in a difficult position.
This is also why she went out for a walk, feeling extremely troubled and preoccupied.
But she never expected that Lin Tingfeng, an outsider, would be more aware of the entire situation than she was. It felt as if she, her mother, and Uncle Cai's entire family were made of crystal glass in his eyes, something he could understand with a single glance.
Does he have eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, so that he knows everything that happens outside of him?
A white mist rose from the forest, spreading like a veil among the grass and leaves, making the handsome Lin Tingfeng seem like an enigma.
What a captivating man he is!
Ye Wenyu blushed and said in a hoarse voice, "You're overthinking it. They won't make any demands of me."
But even after saying that, I don't believe it myself. When I get back to the Cai family, the old folks will probably make their demands.
Lin Tingfeng snorted coldly again and said to her indifferently, "I didn't think too much about it, and I believe you're not that stupid!" As he finished speaking, his originally calm tone became somewhat sharp.
Foolish? Yes, she wouldn't be that foolish. In this world, she's all alone. If she doesn't cherish herself, she'll be even more pitiful. Therefore, she would never agree to unreasonable requests.
Ye Wenyu couldn't help but nod again, which was considered as agreeing to his request.
Lin Tingfeng smiled with relief.
When Ye Wenyu saw the charming smile on Lin Tingfeng's face, she realized that she had once again listened to him as if possessed.
Lin Tingfeng looked at her, his eyes shining like obsidian, a look of both joy and pain, though he concealed it well. Before, seeing her would fill him with joy; now, seeing her would bring a piercing pain to his heart, which would eventually spread to every cell in his body. This was probably because he couldn't have her; there was no possibility of them being together. He couldn't get a divorce, and she couldn't accept an intimate relationship outside of marriage.
Seeing Lin Tingfeng's complicated smile, Ye Wenyu felt a flush rise to her face. She wondered why she had listened to him. Who was he? Didn't they agree at the hospital that they wouldn't have anything to do with him?
Therefore, she raised her head, tilted her chin up, and with a serious expression on her delicate face, explained to him, "The reason I agreed to your request is not because I agreed to it, but because I didn't want to agree to their demands in the first place!"
"Is this rambling nonsense only understandable to herself?" Ye Wenyu thought, wanting to facepalm after she finished speaking.
Uh, it seems like there's a "protesting too much" vibe here.
At this moment, even her neck and shoulders felt burning.
Lin Tingfeng understood, and he smiled with satisfaction, saying slowly to her, "That's right, this is the kind of girl I like."
Ye Wenyu felt all the blood rush to her face. Why flirt with him if he wasn't going to marry her? This man was truly—
She rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "Who's the girl you like?" and turned to leave.
Lin Tingfeng asked her from behind, "Are you completely cured?"
Ye Wenyu was stunned, slowed her pace, and felt a warm current in her heart. So he still cared about her! If it weren't for his concern for her last time and his sudden visit to the girls' dormitory to check on her, she might have become mentally impaired due to a high fever that wasn't treated in time.
Today, of course, I wouldn't be here, making a wise choice for my own life.
Why was she so rude to him?
Ye Wenyu looked up at the sky. Because of Lin Tingfeng's caring words, the originally pale and thin sunlight now looked much warmer and brighter.
Upon closer examination, whether in the past life or this life, the only one who unconditionally treated her well, cared for her, and made sacrifices for her from beginning to end was Lin Tingfeng.
In one's lifetime, finding someone who truly loves you is not easy.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lin Tingfeng asked her again, "How's the job search going? Don't be too greedy when you're looking for a job. Just find one with a high salary, you little money-grubber."
Ye Wenyu was stunned again. He knew that she had been working hard again after recovering from her illness. He really cared about her, didn't he? A warm feeling welled up in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and his nose felt sore.
Why is it Lin Tingfeng who cares so much about her, and not someone else?
Today, I came to the Cai family's house with my mother. On the way, the old woman kept talking about how well the Cai family was doing now and how she should curry favor with them in the future. She never asked her how her winter vacation was at school, whether she was sick, whether she was still working, whether she had enough money, or how her studies were going. No, not a single word.
The mother who gave her life and raised her was less concerned about her than a strange man.
To avoid Lin Tingfeng seeing her expression, Ye Wenyu kept her back to him, her thin back stiff.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lin Tingfeng suddenly mustered up his courage and invited her, "Now that we're at my house, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
What? Ye Wenyu's shoulders trembled, and her heart was like a bell ringing. He was inviting her to the Lin family's old mansion again!
She stopped walking, her body stiff as a stone. The mountain breeze blowing through the forest was so cool that it gave her goosebumps.
Everything seems to be a cycle.
Her two lifetimes were like walking on a wildly spinning wheel.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she came to her senses, immediately shook her head, and ran away like a mountain deer.
