"Go to sleep, it's getting late." After saying that, she turned her back to Yan Bai, clearly not wanting to say another word.
Yan Bai wrapped his arms around Shen Ye's waist from behind and began kissing his neck, his hands lingering on his chest and lower abdomen, but Shen Ye resisted.
Shen Ye removed Yan Bai's hand, her voice devoid of emotion, "I'm sleepy, maybe next time."
"Yan Yi, what did I do wrong? Tell me, don't give me the silent treatment."
Shen Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so she covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep.
The next day, Yan Bai prepared breakfast and saw Shen Ye come out. He said, "I've been neglecting you a bit lately. It's my fault. I apologize. Tomorrow is Saturday. How about I go out with you?"
Shen Ye lowered his head and ate his breakfast, then said coldly, "No need, I want to sleep at home on Saturday."
The workday was uneventful and there's nothing much to talk about.
On Saturday, Shen Ye really stayed home and slept all day.
Yan Bai drove Li Xintong around looking for a house, and they eventually booked a fully furnished villa in a neighboring community.
On Sunday, an unexpected visitor called and asked if we could meet.
Without much thought, Shen Ye agreed. The two of them each ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly. Li Xintong curiously asked Shen Ye about the story of how he met Yan Bai, and Shen Ye smiled faintly.
"In short, it's a story about a drunken night of debauchery followed by endless entanglements; there's not much to say about it."
Li Xintong smiled and lowered her head to stir her coffee with a small spoon. Her smile faded slightly in the ripples of the coffee, but when she looked up again, she had a touch of shyness: "I really envy you. I wish my life was like yours. When I was only 20 years old, I got a boyfriend and had a child because I was young and naive."
My boyfriend wanted to marry me, but his family was afraid I would jeopardize his future, so they pressured me to have surgery and sent me abroad. Luckily, I met my ex-husband in country Y, which helped me slowly recover. But I never imagined that it was just sweet talk all along.
Shen Ye was drinking coffee at the time, and the slightly bitter taste burst in his mouth and then spread into his lungs.
He stared at her in shock, his mind quickly clearing up.
When Yan Bai was 20, he dated Li Xintong and planned to get married. However, Li Xintong suddenly went abroad to marry someone else, and Yan Bai never had a girlfriend again until he met him...
So, some couples who are under the legal marriage age want to get married because of pregnancy, but break up due to external obstacles.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye's whole body tensed up, and his facial expression became very strained.
It took a lot of effort to get her voice out: "You had several relationships before you married your current husband."
Without a second thought, she said, "My first love ended in the most miserable and tragic way."
At first, Shen Ye still had a glimmer of hope, but the word "first love" made him certain that the man was Yan Bai.
Shen Ye asked softly, "Then do you hate him?"
Li Xintong smiled faintly: "Hate whom? Your boyfriend or his family?"
"all."
Her eyes looked away, then slowly returned: "I hated it, but I've slowly let it go. If we became parents at a young age, we'd probably argue frequently and end up getting divorced."
Shen Ye couldn't continue the conversation; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Xintong spoke again: "The reason I asked you to come out and tell you about me is not really because I want you to stay with Yan Bai. Although your aunt will not approve of your relationship, there's always a chance for a miracle, isn't there?"
