Seeing how much she was trying to save him money, Lin Tingfeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart. This was the first time in his life he had met a girl who didn't want him to spend too much money. He felt like he had struck gold. So, gazing at her, he smiled gently and said, "No need. I earn too much money. Money is just a number if it's not spent. Before, I couldn't find someone I was willing to spend money on. Now that I've finally found someone, why should I be frugal?"
He took her hand, shook it, and kissed it. Remembering the girls not far away, Ye Wenyu couldn't help but blush like a shrimp.
Seeing that he still insisted on his opinion, she could only blush and say, "But I really don't want to buy them. These are all top brands. If I, as a student, wear them to class, the teachers and students will definitely say something unpleasant."
Lin Tingfeng laughed and said to Ye Wenyu, "These big brands are very low-key, and there are so many high-quality fakes on the market now. If someone asks, just say it's fake."
Ye Wenyu was dumbfounded. Such an amazing operation? She had only ever heard of people buying fakes to pass off as real ones, but now he was teaching her how to make the real one look fake?
In short, no matter how much Ye Wenyu didn't want to buy, Lin Tingfeng still spent money like water, buying her a whole bunch of things: clothes, shoes, bags, perfumes, cosmetics, skincare products, etc. Behind him, a long line of saleswomen and sales assistants waited to pick up the goods.
Throughout the entire process, he held her hand and led her on a leisurely stroll through the mall. The mall's staff, from the manager to the assistants, were all very friendly, even enthusiastic.
Because Lin Tingfeng held Ye Wenyu's hand the entire time, over time, even the slow-witted Ye Wenyu came to understand that being with him wasn't like she imagined—a mistress, a rat hiding in the light. On the contrary, he openly held her hand and took her to public events—because almost all the staff in the mall knew Lin Tingfeng, and everyone could see his doting on her! Because of his affection for her, the mall staff treated Ye Wenyu exceptionally well, practically serving her like a princess.
Ye Wenyu then recalled what he had said before: that he and his wife were only married through a matchmaker, and that they hadn't had much affection for each other after marriage, and that they were just doing their own thing. Now it seemed that perhaps what he said was true.
Otherwise, wouldn't his wife find out about his public displays of affection for her?
After shopping, the trunk was full of bags of goods. Ye Wenyu sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Tingfeng drove her back to school.
Thinking about her discovery, Ye Wenyu glanced at him and said thoughtfully, "It seems like all the mall staff know you."
Lin Tingfeng looked ahead and slowly said to her, "Yes, I am a VIP customer here."
After thinking for a while, Ye Wenyu mustered up her courage and said to him, "Actually, I'm not that interested in these luxury brands. I still want to read my books in peace and quiet. So, could we please not come to this place anymore?"
Lin Tingfeng was taken aback and glanced at Ye Wenyu.
Her face was a little pale, as if she had something on her mind. Buying and buying things would make most women in the world happy, but it didn't seem to work on her.
Ye Wenyu thought for a moment, then explained to Lin Tingfeng, "I don't want to cause you trouble. They all know you, and seeing you with me might lead to some bad rumors. You're a successful person, a public figure—"
Lin Tingfeng understood, smiled and shook his head, saying gently, "What a silly girl." She was actually starting to think about him—
He parked the car in a parking space on the side, turned around, looked at her, and slowly said to her, "I'm good to you, you can feel it, right?" He gazed at her, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Ye Wenyu glanced at him, her face flushing red again. In the darkness of the night, his expression seemed incredibly serious. All day long, he had taken her out to eat and then to the mall. He had spent the entire day by her side.
His time is precious, but he's willing to spend it on her.
It's now deep into the night.
Ye Wenyu blushed and nodded. No one had ever been as kind to her as he was.
Lin Tingfeng smiled, reached out a hand, took Ye Wenyu's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. He slowly and softly said, "Then, you will trust me."
Ye Wenyu was stunned. Trust him? Had he noticed her nervousness and unease? Although she was very happy today, she had a feeling from beginning to end that this happiness wouldn't last.
Looking at the night outside, Lin Tingfeng pondered for a moment and slowly said, "For most people in this world, the relationship between lovers is something that can't be made public, but I, Lin Tingfeng, am not an ordinary man. Although I—" He paused for a moment, a hint of guilt on his face. After a few minutes, he regained his composure and continued, "Although I can't give you status and position, please believe me, you are the woman I love most, the only one."
Ye Wenyu's shoulders trembled, and her ears rang. He was always a man of few words, and since they met, he had said very few words. But today, at this moment, he actually looked at her and began to confess his love in a sickeningly sweet way. He told her to believe him, and that she was the woman he loved most, the only one.
Can she really be trusted?
He loves someone, yet can only let her hide in the shadows, become his mistress, and live a life shrouded in secrecy. Now he claims she's his one and only love—it's simply unbelievable!
