Lin Yusheng was both amused and exasperated. "Am I that kind of person?"
"That's true, you've always been understanding."
Lin Yusheng could sense Qin Yi's disappointment. Over the past four years, she had been aware of his feelings, and she had always made it clear that she could only treat him as a brother.
However, love is something that cannot be controlled.
Lin Yusheng said, "The word 'understanding' can only be used to describe me in the last few years. Before, I was a proud, arrogant, and even a bit domineering young lady."
"If you knew me back then, given your personality, you would probably hate me."
Lin Yusheng was jokingly telling him that she wasn't just the person he saw.
Qin Yi seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent for a while.
Then he asked, "What about Lu Zhengye? Has he ever seen you like that?"
"You've met him, haven't you? Without him, I wouldn't have dared to be so high-profile."
The two fell silent for a moment.
While waiting at a traffic light, Lin Yusheng couldn't help but say, "Qin Yi, I appreciate your affection, but I'm sorry, I will only ever love one person in my life."
Qin Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, a bitter feeling spreading through his heart.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I know, I won't ruin your happiness."
Lin Yusheng frowned and shook her head. "I'm not worried about that. I know you definitely won't. I'm saying this to tell you that you will definitely find a girl who has your eyes and heart full of you in the future."
Qin Yi said, "We'll talk about it later. Right now, your happiness is the most important thing. If you are bullied or suffer, remember to come back to Jiangnan."
Lin Yusheng nodded.
When we came out after dinner, night had just fallen.
Qin Yi escorted Lin Yusheng back to her hotel.
After Lin Yusheng got out of the car, Qin Yi followed her out. He suddenly asked, "If you hadn't met Lu Zhengye, would you have accepted me?"
"If this hadn't happened, then there would be no definitive conclusion about what would have happened. Maybe it would have, maybe it wouldn't have. But Brother Qin, the fact is, I met him, fell in love with him, and from then on, there was no room for anyone else in my heart."
Lin Yusheng calmly told him the truth.
Qin Yi is a very good person, but in her heart, Lu Zhengye is even better, and no one can replace him.
"I understand." Qin Yi smiled with relief.
Lin Yusheng felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
But then, she inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.
Lin Yusheng followed her senses and looked over. In the darkness, a Rolls-Royce was parked. The rear window was down, and a face was half-hidden in the darkness, with lips pressed tightly together.
Her heart skipped a beat. It was Lu Zhengye! Her first reaction was happiness, but then she realized that his expression was a little off.
At this distance, he shouldn't have been able to hear her conversation with Qin Yi, so he probably misunderstood.
Qin Yi saw it too, and he felt a little guilty. "Why do I always cause you trouble every time I show up? I'll go explain to him."
Lin Yusheng grabbed his forearm and said, "No, I'll explain to him. You go back first, it's okay."
Qin Yi hesitated at first, but he drove away only after Lin Yusheng nodded to him with great certainty.
After Qin Yi left, the Rolls-Royce that was parked there drove over.
Lin Yusheng stepped forward, and Lu Zhengye opened the car door and got out.
She ran over and hugged Lu Zhengye's lean waist. "Aye, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Lu Zhengye pursed his lips and remained silent.
This isn't the place to talk, Lin Yusheng said, taking his hand. "Let's go upstairs and talk."
Lu Zhengye did not object and let Lin Yusheng lead him.
Even if he didn't say anything, Lin Yusheng could sense his emotions. He wouldn't misunderstand her relationship with Qin Yi; he was probably just jealous.
Back in the hotel room, as soon as the door closed, Lin Yusheng pinned Lu Zhengye against it and kissed him on tiptoe.
He smoked today.
Lin Yusheng frowned slightly.
Lu Zhengye's Adam's apple bobbed, but he still stood ramrod straight.
Lin Yusheng was wearing high heels, and her feet got tired in no time.
She released her grip and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Lu Zhengye remained silent, but the heaving of his chest spoke volumes about his anger.
Lin Yusheng had a guess, "Have you... been waiting for me for a long time?"
Lu Zhengye finally reacted. He looked down at her and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Yusheng felt guilty. She hadn't checked her phone when she went out to eat with Qin Yi.
Lu Zhengye is usually eating at this time and rarely sends her messages.
"This is the first time Qin Yi has contacted me since we got married. He came to congratulate us. My maternal grandfather's family and the Qin family have been friends for generations. I regard Qin Yi as an older brother."
Lu Zhengye asked with a stern face, "What about Qin Yi?"
“I’ve already explained it to him, and he’s very happy for us,” Lin Yusheng explained patiently.
Lu Zhengye sneered, "Blessings? He's a perfect match for you, but I'm someone whose background is unclear. If he likes you, would he genuinely bless us?"
Lin Yusheng stared at Lu Zhengye in disbelief, the veins on his neck bulging as if he were questioning him.
“Lu Zhengye, no one looks down on you, but if you want to belittle yourself, then nothing I say will make a difference.”
Lin Yusheng's voice was too calm; she had never spoken to Lu Zhengye like that before.
Lu Zhengye admitted that he panicked.
He stood there stiffly, his eyes reddening with helplessness, not knowing what to say to make amends.
Lin Yusheng was initially very angry, but when she saw Lu Zhengye's reddened eyes, she felt sorry for him and gave in.
She stepped forward, cupped Lu Zhengye's face in her hands, looked into his reddened eyes, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Ah Ye, I told Qin Yi that in this life, I, Lin Yusheng, will only love you and no one else. You also have Jiang Yanqi and Qian Yijun by your side, but I have never doubted your feelings for me. Even though I feel that I am not as good as Qian Yijun, I have never given up on you. What you just said really hurt me.”
Lin Yusheng's tears fell.
These words brought Lu Zhengye back to his senses, and he wiped away Lin Yusheng's tears with trembling hands.
Then he pulled her into his arms, saying, "I'm sorry, I was just too scared. I'm sorry, Sheng Sheng."
"A-Ye, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Yusheng remembered Director Xie's words: some things on her mind had to be said, otherwise the two of them would drift further and further apart.
Lu Zhengye didn't say anything, but just hugged Lin Yusheng even tighter.
Lin Yusheng was having trouble breathing.
She roughly knew what Lu Zhengye was afraid of, but she wanted him to say it himself.
Lin Yusheng didn't hug him back, and said indifferently, "If you keep keeping these words to yourself, one day we will drift further and further apart."
Lu Zhengye was startled by her cold tone and couldn't react for a long time.
Lin Yusheng didn't soften her stance; she was determined to make him tell the truth.
