Don't try to out-ruth someone who doesn't love you. "That's my business, none of your concern," he coldly replied.
Wang Yingying bit her lip, forcing back the tears in her eyes, and watched helplessly as he packed his luggage, took his things, and left. When she heard the door close, she angrily squatted down with her head in her hands.
She couldn't understand why a sweet and charming girl like her was always surrounded by boys of all kinds. They were always attentive to her, trying to please her and doing everything they could to make her happy. She didn't actually need Lin Moxiao, but when she was with those men, she could feel that they all approached her with ulterior motives, wanting to possess her. Their thoughts were shameful. Only Lin Moxiao never asked her for anything in return. The only downside was his cold attitude. She always thought he was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He never used sweet words to please her, but he gave her what she really wanted. There was no gentle companionship, no sweet talk, and no constant whispering in her ear. All he ever gave her was a glamorous, fashionable, and sophisticated life.
She loved luxury and would use his card to buy anything she wanted, and he never got angry. She thought this must be his way of showing love! If he didn't have her in his heart, how could he be so carefree and generous?
She thought about it for a long time, always feeling that there was something she wasn't good enough for. She went to his study and saw the neatly folded blanket on the small couch. He must have slept here last night! She picked up the soft cashmere blanket and sniffed it. It smelled of the bamboo he wore. She thought she would never fall in love with any other man in her life. He was the only one she loved. So what if she couldn't marry him? What was wrong with silently staying by his side and living in his house? He had once said that he had never brought any of his ex-girlfriends to his house because he didn't like them. Wasn't he making an exception for her now? Turning the impossible into possible, maybe she would get used to it.
She hesitated for a moment, put down the blanket in her hand, carefully folded it, stood up and walked to the desk. She saw several model airplanes on the huge desk. This must be his passion, his childhood dream. He yearned for freedom, and his passion was poured into the sky, allowing him to soar freely.
Below the airplane model were stacks of beautifully packaged books. She gently opened the books and found several volumes of "Detective Anthology". Turning to the first page, there were striking words: "For my beloved Jiang Shuya".
The book nearly slipped from her hands. A look of panic crossed her face. She picked up the book in disbelief and saw the same words on the first page of several other books, nothing else.
She calmed herself, sniffed, and her eyes reddened involuntarily. She tried hard to recall the scene when she had seen her once. Jiang Shuya was a married woman. It turned out that Lin Moxiao had always secretly kept her in his heart. Even though she had only seen Jiang Shuya once, that woman without makeup had a naturally beautiful face, was naturally beautiful, confident and open-minded. Such a woman with her own light was the focus wherever she went, and also brought a sense of crisis to those around her.
Wang Yingying watched in silence for a long time, then a cold smile appeared on her lips: So what if you have her in your heart? It's still wishful thinking. She's married now, and there's no possibility between you anymore. As long as she doesn't want to get entangled with you, your deep affection will ultimately be misplaced. I want to see how long you can persist, whether your feelings are stronger or my methods are more sophisticated.
Just then, the outer door suddenly opened. Wang Yingying alertly put the books down and went into the living room, where she unexpectedly met Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan untied her scarf and was about to put away her cleaning tools when she saw a beautiful woman walk out. She was taken aback and somewhat surprised. Recalling the time she had arranged with Mr. Lin, she didn't recall him mentioning that anyone was coming to her house. However, she didn't pry into his private affairs and simply nodded politely, explaining her purpose: "I'm here to do the cleaning as arranged with Mr. Lin. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I came early. I hope I haven't disturbed you!"
Wang Yingying forced a smile and crossed her arms: "Aunt Lan, don't you recognize me? I'm Wang Yingying. We've met before. Remember when I came here to pick something up last time? You were here too, right? You were cleaning then, and you even opened the door for me. You've forgotten all about it!"
Aunt Lan slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Look at my memory! I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse and worse. I was the one who brought you something last time, but you had a bandage on your nose, so I didn't see it very clearly. Please forgive me!"
As Aunt Lan spoke, she opened the cleaning tools from her bag. Wang Yingying shook her arms and said brightly, "Yes! I should thank Aunt Lan. She helped me deliver the things and also completely crushed me. You must have said a lot of good things about me to Mr. Lin! Otherwise, why would he have cut off all ties with me so readily that day?"
Aunt Lan didn't understand what Wang Yingying meant. She scratched her head and chuckled, "Miss Wang, why do you think that way? When you came to pick up your things that time, you didn't take them all. Mr. Lin came back later, and I thought he knew. After all, this is his home. I'm just a cleaner. If something is missing from the house, wouldn't I be the prime suspect? Although Mr. Lin never holds a grudge, it's still necessary to report to him."
"I remember telling you that I would come and collect the rest myself, without making you tell him personally. Did you deliberately not hear me?" Wang Yingying said angrily.
Aunt Lan was somewhat taken aback. She stamped her foot and said urgently, "Miss Wang, you really misunderstood me. I told Mr. Lin everything you said. It was necessary for me to report. He insisted that I help deliver it and even paid for it. How could I refuse? Besides, delivering it to you saves you the trouble of picking it up. What's wrong with that?"
Aunt Lan still didn't understand Wang Yingying's thoughts. How could she know that these were two lovers who had just broken up, one of them reluctant to let go? Wang Yingying originally wanted to use a push-and-pull tactic to keep Lin Moxiao. Aunt Lan naturally couldn't see through this trick, but it was Wang Yingying's usual method. Although she was young, she was quite skilled at dealing with men. Her old man had also been obedient to her. After squeezing him out of his money, she ruthlessly dumped him. All because she saw Lin Moxiao in the bar. His cool and handsome appearance and his refined and gentlemanly demeanor deeply fascinated her. Because of him, she changed her previous unruly personality. She restrained her foul language. Everything changed because of him.
