(79)
What?! Like a bolt from the blue, Ye Wenyu's face lost all color, a thick taste of blood filled her throat, and her body seemed to be bleeding. The sun stopped shining, dark clouds appeared in the sky, and a storm seemed to be coming soon. The small boat that had been moving steadily began to rock, as if a terrifying tsunami could break out on the River Cam!
Her life began to be full of ups and downs.
Lin Tingfeng continued slowly, "I have a wife and two children." He spoke so calmly, his eyes fixed on her.
Ye Wenyu listened blankly, feeling as if all the blood in her body had drained away from the soles of her feet with a "thud," and her face turned as pale as a dead person.
He was calmly torturing her with a knife, and her initial joy vanished instantly, as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.
Lin Tingfeng said slowly, "I thought you should know, since the media has already reported on it. However, I was worried that you might not have read these reports, so it's better to explain it to you personally."
He turned around, seemingly calm and composed, but inside he was in turmoil. His heart was pounding wildly as he nervously looked at Ye Wenyu. She was motionless, her small face as pale as ice and snow, even her lips had lost all color. Her large eyes were empty and lifeless, and all the shyness, joy and playfulness that had appeared on her beautiful face had disappeared.
She is like a beautiful marble statue.
Seeing Ye Wenyu like this, Lin Tingfeng became very nervous. He placed his hands at his sides, clenched them into fists, and all ten fingers were engorged with blood.
He is very likely to lose her!
Time seemed to have passed, and the oxygen between the two seemed to have been completely used up, making it difficult for Lin Tingfeng to breathe.
Ye Wenyu, who was initially shocked and heartbroken, changed her expression again, this time with anger and humiliation. Her beautiful eyebrows first furrowed in pain, then stood on end. Her large eyes blazed with fury, her face turned bright red with anger, her small nostrils flared rapidly, her thin shoulders stiffened, and her two small hands clenched into fists. She was like a volcano about to erupt.
Lin Tingfeng's initial confidence vanished. He was now filled with regret and panic. He had thought victory was assured, but now it seemed he had been too overconfident. A voice, like a resounding bell, echoed repeatedly in the depths of his heart: "You are going to lose her," "You are going to lose her."
Ye Wenyu suddenly stood up, trembling like a leaf in a storm. She questioned Lin Tingfeng in a shrill voice, "You mean you can't get a divorce, you can't marry me, but you like me, you'll take care of my college tuition and living expenses, and you want me to be your mistress, your concubine?!" Her throat seemed to be bleeding.
The small boat rocked violently because of Ye Wenyu's intense emotions, and the boatman anxiously shouted in English, "Please sit down."
Ye Wenyu seemed not to hear. Memories, like ice, surged through her mind one by one. All her previous doubts finally found answers at this moment, like tiny puzzle pieces that had finally come together to form a complete picture. She finally understood what kind of person Lin Tingfeng was, but after truly understanding him, she was only afraid and terrified.
Anger and pain left her mind blank.
With her eyes wide open, she gritted her teeth and questioned Lin Tingfeng in a hoarse voice, "You liked me when we first met, so the next day you went to my school, gave me my tuition, and then disappeared for several months. Isn't that called playing hard to get?" Her throat seemed to have suddenly developed a serious throat ailment, and her voice became incredibly hoarse.
Lin Tingfeng remained silent. She was digging up his past, and because it was the truth, he had no words to refute it. Besides, he didn't want to make excuses. It was good enough for her to know how much he had sacrificed to win her over.
Ye Wenyu continued her scathing interrogation like a storm: "You paid for my tuition for four years of university, but you didn't care about my living expenses. You abandoned me for months without a word, forcing me to work and experience the hardships of life. Do you know that when I've had enough of the hardship and suffering, I won't want to leave you? Because I'm afraid of going back to the impoverished and sick life you provided. When you make your shameless demands, I'll agree to be your lover, your mistress, your caged bird!"
The veins on her forehead were bulging, and her hair was practically steaming.
Her body was still trembling from pain and anger. What hurt her most was not that being a mistress was an insult to her, but that her sincere love had been met with his deception and manipulation!
Tears were about to well up in her eyes, but she bit her lip and desperately held them back.
Lin Tingfeng didn't speak. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly inhaled. Pale blue smoke spread out, forming a protective shield that concealed his emotional changes.
His long, slender fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly. The cigarette had already burned his hand, but he didn't realize it for a long time. He slowly threw away the half-smoked cigarette without feeling any pain.
Ye Wenyu clenched her fists like a mad cat, her eyes wide with anger, and continued to interrogate him: "Then, you deliberately arranged to meet me every few months, forcing me to become a hostess. You showed up in time to rescue me. I ask you, was it your instruction to make me work as a hostess on the night of the celebration?"
Lin Tingfeng remained silent. She was too clever. All of this was originally just a scheme behind the scenes, but after analyzing it one by one, it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Ye Wenyu seemed to be peeling away the sugar coating of poison. Her voice trembled as she questioned Lin Tingfeng sharply: "When I encountered bad guys, you appeared in time. You arranged for the bad guys to appear. It was also pre-arranged for me to be stabbed. Is this what you call a hero saving a beauty? Is this a self-inflicted injury scheme?"
Lin Tingfeng remained silent.
Ye Wenyu trembled all over, feeling as if she were caught in a trap. She said in a hoarse voice, "You arranged for someone to follow me, so when I fell ill and collapsed on the street, you appeared in time to pick me up. You had someone investigate all my records, so you know my pitiful background. You took advantage of my vulnerability, made me fall in love with you, and brought me here before confronting me. Did you think I would refuse your shameless demands? Because I was in a foreign country, on a boat in the middle of the river, with nowhere to escape, didn't I?" She shouted the last sentence with all her might, but the voice that came out was hoarse and could not express her pain and anger. She realized that her voice was completely gone.
Lin Tingfeng stubbed out his cigarette and said cautiously to Ye Wenyu, "Xiaoyu, what you said is all right, but have you ever thought that someone giving so much is also a way of showing love?"
Only when you love someone will you go to great lengths and make meticulous plans; otherwise, who would waste so much time and energy on someone who has nothing to do with them?
She shook her head frantically, almost driven mad with anger. To love her, haha, such love is terrifying!
