(497)
This kind of feeling is terrifying. Knowing he's not a good person, yet still loving him.
However, despite being shocked and saddened inside, Ye Wenyu remained outwardly calm and said with her head down, "Oh, I'm on a diet. These days, being thin is considered beautiful."
Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly but did not speak.
The two people controlled their feelings for each other silently, like a drop of water disappearing into the water, without revealing anything.
Everyone fell silent. The music in the coffee shop enveloped them like a light veil, sounding like an old song called "If You Love Me a Little More." The lyrics, "It must be a special fate that brought us together as a family. If he loves you a little more, you love him a little more—", brought tears to their eyes. Ye Wenyu forced herself not to listen to it too closely.
At this moment, the waiter brought in coffee and pastries. Ye Wenyu was stunned to see a table full of pastries. Caramel pudding, Black Forest cake, and strawberry cheesecake were all her favorites. They were some of the delicious desserts she had praised when he took her to various restaurants for fancy meals when they first got together.
Even after all this time, he still remembers how busy and tired he was.
Her eyes reddened, tears welling up. She never expected that he would still remember such a trivial hobby of hers.
She kept her head down, not wanting Lin Tingfeng to see her tears. She was afraid that if he knew her secret, he would try every means to bring her back to his side, and she couldn't resist his temptations and persuasion.
He had a fatal attraction for her, like iron filings being irresistibly drawn to a magnet.
However, Lin Tingfeng seemed to have eyes that could see a thousand miles, or rather, she was made of crystal glass in front of him, transparent, and he could see her clearly with just one glance. Because Lin Tingfeng suddenly said gently, "I didn't expect this coffee shop to have your favorite snacks."
Ye Wenyu could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like pearls from a broken string.
She didn't want to spend too much time with him, afraid of revealing her feelings. Her life was finally back on track, and she didn't want it to fall apart again. So, she quickly composed herself, lowered her head, and said to him, "What do you want? I have class soon." She just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
Lin Tingfeng was stunned, knowing that she didn't want to linger with him any longer. So, he composed himself and said to her with utmost seriousness, "Xiaoyu, I beg you to come back to me. This is the first time in my life that I've ever asked someone for a favor!"
What? His request? He asked her to come back to him?
Ye Wenyu was struck dumb, sitting there unable to move.
Seeing Ye Wenyu remain silent as if she were mute, Lin Tingfeng had no choice but to calm down and try to communicate with her himself. Although he knew that the age difference between them was too great, and there were probably several age-related chasms between them, making it almost impossible for her to fully understand him, he still had to try.
You must fight for your own happiness.
Therefore, Lin Tingfeng took a sip of coffee, cleared his throat, and said to Ye Wenyu, "For the past five months, I have thought about you every day, every moment, with endless longing. But I have been forcing myself not to go to you. I originally planned to go to you after the divorce, after getting the divorce certificate."
Ye Wenyu was stunned again. He actually intended to divorce his wife for her? She had always thought it was just a pretense to deceive her!
Was the decision to break up at that time too hasty and ill-considered?
She now realizes that Lin Tingfeng, Lin Tingyue, and even Lin Tingxuan, the three siblings of the Lin family, are all cunning and scheming.
She's a bit confused now, unsure which of the three is telling the truth and which is lying.
Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and everything is like trying to see flowers through a fog.
She had a feeling that when Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan stood beside her and spoke, she unconsciously trusted them completely, but when Lin Tingfeng sat in front of her and spoke, she began to trust him completely.
All three of them were very intelligent, eloquent, and persuasive; only she felt that she was stupid.
Lin Tingfeng continued slowly, "But five months passed, winter ended, spring arrived, spring ended, summer arrived, and the divorce proceedings continued, the division of property remained unclear. I suddenly realized that I couldn't wait any longer! I was afraid that other men would pursue you, I was afraid of losing you, so I couldn't control myself anymore and took the initiative to come to you—"
What? Five months have passed, and they still haven't gotten a divorce? Ye Wenyu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. The light and hope that had been rising in her heart died completely. She felt her whole body sinking deeper and deeper, as if she were about to sink into an abyss.
The smart thing to do is to give up on him completely and never have any hope, so that you won't suffer.
She calmed herself down, letting her previously chaotic thoughts gradually become clear, like a pot of muddy water. She thought to herself, before, she didn't know who to believe, whether to believe Lin Tingfeng or Lin Tingyue.
Now she has a different mindset, which is to believe Lin Tingfeng. She has become his caged bird, living without freedom and dignity, filled with guilt, living in shame every day, and being suddenly beaten by his wife when she walks down the street.
I believe in Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan. She broke up with Lin Tingfeng. Although her material life was a bit poor, her mother's new family accepted her, and her stepfather treated her very well. She lived freely and with dignity.
By comparing the results and looking back at the causes, she made a wise decision.
Therefore, when Lin Tingfeng pleaded, "Xiaoyu, that's why I came to find you. I want to beg you, give me another chance, believe in me one more time. I will definitely get a divorce, but I need your time and patience. Please come back to my side. I promise I will only love you and make you happy, okay?"
Ye Wenyu's heart stirred. Lin Tingfeng had never begged anyone so humbly before. He was always aloof, arrogant, domineering, and invincible.
However, perhaps he was just acting. Therefore, Ye Wenyu raised her head and looked at Lin Tingfeng. Her clear, autumn-water-like eyes looked at Lin Tingfeng coldly, and she said stiffly, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
Lin Tingfeng was stunned, his face burning with embarrassment. It was the first time he had asked someone for a favor, and he hadn't expected to be disappointed.
The air seemed to freeze, the music in the café instantly disappeared, and the surroundings were quiet, like a silent valley.
A heart, like a small pebble, falls into a deep valley.
