(553)
Cai Wenchuan's father rushed up to him like a whirlwind, angrily snatched the bucket and threw it on the ground, then turned back, picked up a shovel, and was about to viciously dig up the saplings he had just planted.
At this moment, Lin Tingyue rushed out like a mad cat, blocking the sapling and shouting at Cai Wenchuan's father, "You can't dig it up! We just planted it!"
Cai Wenchuan's mother stood to the side, her eyes reddening.
Cai Wenchuan's father roared, "You dare to challenge me? Get out of here right now, you little bastard!" His body trembled with rage.
Lin Tingyue was stunned, and two streams of tears flowed from her eyes like a small river.
Upon seeing this, Cai Wenchuan felt a pang of pain in his heart.
At this moment, Cai Wenchuan's mother also said, "Tingyue—" She no longer respectfully called her Second Miss, because she knew that she was not the Second Miss.
Lin Tingyue's expression darkened, her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head. Seeing this scene, Cai Wenchuan felt another pang of pain in his heart.
He reached out and held the girl's hand tightly. The world is cold and indifferent; now, only he could give her warmth and strength.
Cai Wenchuan's mother remained unmoved and continued with a stern face, "Our Wenchuan already has a very good girlfriend. Please be mindful of your behavior and keep your distance from him!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingyue felt as if she had been burned by fire. Her body trembled, she lowered her head, struggled to pull her hand away from Cai Wenchuan's, and slowly turned around, intending to leave.
Her figure was as thin and pitiful as paper.
At that moment, Cai Wenchuan swiftly reached out and grabbed Lin Tingyue's hand. His parents were stunned, especially Cai's father, whose eyes blazed with anger.
The surrounding air was chilly.
Cai Wenchuan was determined and unmoved. He calmly said, "Dad, Mom, I broke up with Ye Wenyu peacefully this morning. She's a good girl, and she was the one who initiated it."
Cai Wen and his mother were utterly shocked. They exchanged a glance, speechless. Cai's father, in particular, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Cai Wenchuan gripped Lin Tingyue's hand tightly, raised it, and said to the two old people, "Xiaoyue is the girl I love most in my life. If I get married, I will only marry her. Whether you agree or not, I have made up my mind!" His voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute.
Encouraged, Lin Tingyue raised her head, her big eyes sparkling like stars, and said in a clear voice, "That's right, Uncle and Aunt, I want to marry Wen Chuan!"
Cai's father was so angry that he trembled all over.
Cai's mother covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
After an unknown amount of time, Cai's father slowly gritted his teeth and said, "Very well, I'll say it again: if you marry her, I will sever all ties with you as father and son!" After saying this, he turned and went into the house, his back looking much older than before.
Cai's mother also went into the house crying.
The air seemed frozen, making it hard to breathe.
Cai Wenchuan took Lin Tingyue back to his university dormitory.
Because of his parents' objections, Cai Wenchuan returned to his university dormitory with Lin Tingyue in a somber mood. He felt extremely heavy-hearted, as if his chest was filled with lead.
Lin Tingyue didn't seem very happy either; her face was as pale as paper, as if she had suddenly fallen seriously ill. She wasn't her father's biological daughter, and this blow was too heavy for her.
Therefore, the two of them couldn't be happy when they returned to Cai Wenchuan's dormitory. The room was cold and quiet. Cai Wenchuan was preparing lessons in the study, while Lin Tingyue was watching TV in the small living room.
When Cai Wenchuan finished preparing his lesson and came out, he found that Lin Tingyue had disappeared without him. The TV in the living room was still on, and the blanket on the sofa was still there, but Lin Tingyue was gone.
He was burning with anxiety. When he got home, he found Lin Tingyue looking dazed and absent-minded. Could she still be having suicidal thoughts and have done something foolish?
Thinking of this, Cai Wenchuan's heart clenched, and sweat broke out on his back. If she were to take her own life, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
He was too careless just now!
Therefore, Cai Wenchuan rushed to the door, wanting to go out and find Lin Tingyue. When he opened the door, he saw Lin Tingyue standing in his small garden, lost in thought, like a wounded little animal. Only then did his heart relax. He sighed, tried to put on a smile, and walked up to Lin Tingyue.
The night was like a blind well.
"It's getting dark, Xiaoyue, let's go back to our room." He urged her to go back inside in an extremely gentle voice. It was all his fault. Because his parents objected to him being with her, he left his parents' house with a heavy heart. On the way home, he was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't offer Lin Tingyue a single word of comfort. After returning home, he left her alone in the living room while he busied himself preparing for tomorrow's lessons.
Is homework really that important? Does he still need to work so hard? Considering that he has inherited a third of the Lin Group's assets, it seems a bit ridiculous for him to still work as hard as before out of habit!
Cai Wenchuan shook his head and found that Lin Tingyue seemed not to have heard him. As if she were deaf, she still stood in the night like a piece of wood.
Left with no other choice, he raised his voice, mustered his spirits, and said to Lin Tingyue, "Xiaoyue, are you hungry? Come on, I'll take you inside and make you something delicious."
Lin Tingyue remained silent, but her stomach betrayed her; upon hearing that there was something delicious, her stomach immediately rumbled loudly.
Hearing her stomach rumble with hunger, Cai Wenchuan smiled. At the same time, a pang of sadness struck him. He reached out and took Lin Tingyue's arm, saying in an extremely gentle voice, "Come on, let's go inside. How about I make your favorite pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles?"
Lin Tingyue was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She looked at Cai Wenchuan and said to him, "I'm sorry, Wenchuan. I felt so uncomfortable in the living room that I came out. But when I came out, I realized that the world is so big, yet there is no place for me. I have no idea where to go, so I stood in your garden in a daze. Your little garden is quite nice. I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person."
Looking at the flowers in full bloom in the garden, Lin Tingyue couldn't help but smile. She bent down, picked a crape myrtle, and played with it in her hand.
Hearing her say that, Cai Wenchuan blushed, feeling a pang of guilt. This garden was one he had created for Ye Wenyu, and he had planted it full of flowers for her. However, while the garden still stood, blooming with fragrant flowers, everything was different now. He had broken up with Ye Wenyu and chosen to be with Lin Tingyue.
But I'm not going to think about it anymore. The choice I'm making now is to follow my heart. If I lose Xiaoyue, it's like losing the air I need to breathe.
