(408)
At this moment, Ye Wenyu was facing the bathroom mirror, so in her peripheral vision, she could see herself crying uncontrollably, and she could also see the tall Lin Tingfeng standing behind her, his handsome face full of concern.
Ye Wenyu was somewhat dazed and felt even more embarrassed. Someone could come to the bathroom at any time, and staying here was not a long-term solution.
Thinking this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly walked out of the bathroom, almost as if she were escaping, her steps quick.
However, after taking only a few steps, they heard Zhang Susu and Aunt Cai's voices. Zhang Susu smiled happily and said, "Shufen, you are so generous! Seeing how good you are to my daughter, I am really relieved." Her voice was as clear as glass, and people a mile away could hear it.
Ye Wenyu froze, her face flushed, and she turned around in a flash, quickly retreating back to the bathroom. Lin Tingfeng was waiting there. As she walked forward, her mother and Aunt Cai were waiting there.
Like a ram butting against a fence, it is caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
What should she do? Her heart was burning with anxiety.
Seeing Ye Wenyu standing dumbfounded at the bathroom door, and hearing the voices of the two women, a mischievous smile appeared on Lin Tingfeng's lips.
Aunt Cai smiled and said, "Xiaoyu is a child I've watched grow up. How could I not love her? Don't worry, after she marries into our family, I will treat her like my own daughter."
Ye Wenyu stood there, petrified.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's expression changed, and his doubts were immediately answered. He felt a surge of jealousy, a sour and unpleasant feeling welling up inside him. He began to walk towards Ye Wenyu.
Ye Wenyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning even paler. She knew she absolutely couldn't leave the bathroom. Would Aunt Cai see her with tears streaming down her face? That would be too embarrassing. So, she forced herself to walk towards the bathroom, her eyes red and swollen like peaches.
Just then, Lin Tingfeng was walking towards her, and she bumped into his arms. He held her tightly and whispered to her, "You can't go out!"
Ye Wenyu sighed and decided to follow his arrangements.
His embrace was warm, and his heartbeat was strong and powerful.
Lin Tingfeng quickly glanced around, then lowered his voice to remind him, "You can't go into the women's restroom either, they're already at the door!"
Then, gritting his teeth, he swiftly led her into the men's restroom.
Ye Wenyu saw the row of white urinals where men urinated, and felt bewildered in the wind. Only then did she realize that she was in the men's restroom!
Lin Tingfeng opened the door to a cubicle, pulled her inside, and then locked the door.
The space became cramped, and the light dimmed instantly.
Her face continued to heat up. In this life, she was still so close to him. No matter how rationally she tried to draw boundaries and keep her distance, fate brought them together again and again.
Zhang Susu's footsteps and voice rang out at the same time: "Shufen, don't we look like little girls? We even go to the toilet together."
Hahaha, hahaha, the two women laughed happily.
The cubicle was small. Lin Tingfeng was tall and strong, and Ye Wenyu had no choice but to stand in his arms. Her wet face was pressed against his warm chest, and she listened to his strong heartbeat, which pounded like thunder in her ears. For some reason, her heart finally felt a little better.
I gradually calmed down.
The originally chaotic thoughts, like a basin of muddy water, gradually became clear.
The humiliation of being forced has lessened considerably, and a tremendous sense of warmth and security, like a tidal wave, is continuously flowing into her heart.
The limbs, which had become stiff and cold due to fear and shock, gradually warmed up at this moment.
Blood began to flow through her body again.
She couldn't help but recall their past life, when they were traveling in Thailand, and he had helped her hide in the men's locker room of the indoor swimming pool at a five-star hotel to avoid embarrassment.
It seems the two of them are truly destined to be together.
Realizing she was overthinking things, Ye Wenyu immediately composed herself and returned to reality. Thinking about all the disappointing things Cai Wenchuan had done, she now felt that Lin Tingfeng wasn't so bad after all.
The two stood silently. Men were constantly going in and out of the men's restroom. Through the gaps between the stalls, she could see rows of fine men's leather shoes. The air smelled terrible. The stench of men urinating was indescribable. Ye Wenyu frowned. Lin Tingfeng noticed and took out a clean handkerchief, reaching out to cover her nose and shield her from the odor. However, the smell would disappear after flushing.
His handkerchief was clean and smelled nice, with a faint scent of cologne.
Ye Wenyu felt a sudden warmth in her heart and stirred slightly in his dark, warm embrace, thinking how truly gentlemanly and considerate he was.
Actually, looking back now, apart from being too scheming and a bit domineering, Lin Tingfeng was almost a perfect man.
He is cunning and scheming because he grew up in an inhumane environment.
Arbitrariness and dictatorship arise from possessing supreme power and being surrounded by a multitude of subordinates who fawn over them. Over time, most men will become dictators.
As Ye Wenyu pondered, she felt that she understood Lin Tingfeng better in this life than in her previous one.
Zhang Susu and Aunt Cai, being two middle-aged women who love square dancing, have remarkably loud voices, like gongs. So even though they were in the men's restroom, their conversation in the women's restroom could be heard clearly.
Zhang Susu said happily, "Shufen, where did you buy that gold bracelet? The pattern on it is so beautiful!"
Shufen smiled and said, "Old Fengxiang."
Zhang Susu said with a grin, "Our Xiaoyu is lucky to have caught your eye and become your daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's face changed drastically, his expression turning red with anger. The Cai family was really dreaming; did their son even deserve Xiaoyu?
He tightened his grip on her hand, his jealousy probably enough to open a vinegar shop.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyu blushed with embarrassment, her face turning bright red, much like a bride's veil.
She was in his arms and could naturally feel his anger. She wondered to herself, why was he angry?
Zhang Susu continued, “When I was young, I was just as beautiful as her, but I wasn’t as lucky. I married a poor man, and we didn’t even have a small gold ring when we got married! How pitiful! Alas, I suffered my whole life. No wonder there’s an old saying, ‘Men fear choosing the wrong career, women fear marrying the wrong man.’ For a woman, marriage is like a second reincarnation!”
