Because of Lin Tingfeng's trustworthiness, his respect for her, and his romance and charm, Ye Wenyu grew even more fond of him. She felt she wasn't just in love with him, but completely infatuated, so much so that she deliberately forgot the less-than-honorable schemes and methods he had used to win her over. The past, like silk under the sunlight, reveals different colors depending on the angle from which it's viewed. Now, recalling the effort he had poured into being together, she felt a touch of emotion, her heart filled with warmth.
When they first got together, she was wary of him and even disliked him. She thought a man who would use every trick in the book to win over a young girl—his deep cunning was terrifying. In his presence, she felt like she was made of crystal; he could understand her thoughts with a single glance, while she would never know the truth behind his silence. But now, as they spent more time together, she gradually came to understand him and discovered that he wasn't as bad as she had initially thought. On the contrary, he was incredibly charming, practically her ideal prince charming—or rather, because he always wore black, he was a dark horse prince.
When they were together, Lin Tingfeng took Ye Wenyu to eat at every high-end restaurant in S City and shop at every upscale mall. He was a tall, handsome, and robust man, yet he was like a woman with a shopping addiction, desperately wanting to cut off her hands. He had a powerful and insatiable desire to buy things, buying her whatever he took her around—clothes, bags, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, skincare products—buying and buying, buying and buying, unable to stop. Once, he even smiled and suggested buying her a Maserati sports car, which terrified Ye Wenyu, who frantically shook her head and waved her hands.
After becoming Lin Tingfeng's woman, Ye Wenyu went from being penniless to extremely wealthy, only then realizing her true feelings. She wasn't the materialistic type. Owning her first luxury bag made her happy, satisfying a small vanity. But when Lin Tingfeng bought her a second luxury brand bag, she only felt a little joy. When he bought her a third large luxury bag, she seemed numb. She wasn't like other women who could be "cured by bags."
She finally realized that she didn't need a lot of money to be happy. As long as she had a home, enough to eat and wear, a place to stay when storms came, and people who loved her, then she was happy.
So, as Lin Tingfeng said, having too much money meant it was just a number in a bank account to him. And for her, it was no different.
She stayed with him because of love, not because of his money.
Sometimes, when he wasn't looking, she would sit in a corner and stare at him blankly. At that time, he was usually driving, or sitting in a coffee shop reading a magazine, or sitting under a parasol by the sea, squinting at the sapphire-blue sea. While he was looking at the scenery or reading, Ye Wenyu was watching him, secretly, quietly, and with a dreamy look in her eyes.
A voice echoed in her heart a thousand times, ten thousand times: If only he weren't so rich, if only he weren't a married man, how wonderful that would be!
Then she must be the happiest woman in the world, able to love him freely and boldly, without fear of getting hurt.
When Lin Tingfeng noticed her peeking at him, he couldn't help but smile. Although he sometimes covered his face with the magazine in his hand, his smile would ripple like waves, starting from his eyes and spreading to the corners of his eyes and forehead. At that time, Ye Wenyu would blush and turn her face away, but her heart would be pounding like a drum.
Love is so sweet, yet it also makes people overthink.
When she blushed, Lin Tingfeng would reach out across the table and gently hold Ye Wenyu's small hand, gazing at her affectionately. In a warm, magnetic voice, he would gently ask her, "Were you looking at me just now? Hmm?" His voice was deep and resonant, like the sound of a midnight radio station, utterly captivating.
This was incredibly tempting, but he surpassed her not only in physique but also in intelligence, emotional intelligence, and life experience. Therefore, it could be said that he was standing at a height she could not imagine, looking down at her. It was less a communication between the two of them and more his new discovery, and his cunning search for evidence to support it.
Ye Wenyu lowered her head and remained silent. Her face was flushed, as if she were drunk, making her appear exceptionally beautiful. Although she was no match for him, she understood this about him.
Lin Tingfeng had no choice but to continue asking, "What were you thinking about just now? Hmm?" At the end of his sentence, a heavy "Hmm?" made her heart skip a beat.
She then said she wasn't thinking about anything and changed the subject.
As this happened more often, Lin Tingfeng began to worry. He could see her happiness, and he also noticed her pain. Her confusion and anxiety made him increasingly nervous while he was enjoying the sweetness of love.
She felt to him like a beautiful butterfly perched on his shoulder—beautiful as she was, but she was only staying by his side because of temporary weariness; she certainly wouldn't stay forever.
She is like a bird that yearns for freedom; even when trapped in a cage, her wings still shine. If you want to keep her by your side, you would have to cut off her wings.
Lin Tingfeng appeared calm on the surface, but he was sometimes in pain. However, he never told anyone about this pain, and his handsome, icy face never revealed it, so no one knew.
Ye Wenyu naturally didn't know either.
The two people are getting along carefully, slowly growing closer, and trying to understand each other a little more, hoping that one day they can open their hearts and treat each other sincerely.
Lin Tingfeng continued to treat her well, hoping that she would understand and one day they could be able to open their hearts to each other and stay together. He could tell her the truth, and she could tell him all her secrets. Perhaps the two of them could truly love each other forever.
But now is not the time.
Lin Tingfeng could only wait patiently and silently. After years of navigating the ups and downs of the business world, he had developed the patience of a fisherman.
Gradually, her roommates and classmates all knew that Ye Wenyu was in a relationship. She had a boyfriend from outside the family. He was tall, strong, handsome, and older than her. But no one knew that he was the president of the Lin Group.
Ye Wenyu thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being in love.
She was plagued by anxieties, sometimes filled with joy, and other times with a deep-seated sadness.
However, she was always very happy when he came to see her. The sadness mainly occurred when she was studying alone at school. Because he was not by her side, she, like all girls in love, quietly immersed herself in her own thoughts, so she thought a lot. The more you think about love, the easier it is to get heartbroken.
