Lin Xiyue's smile grew increasingly bitter, and her voice became somewhat hoarse.
"I'm not that good. Actually, there's something I've been hiding from you, but I don't want to hide it from you anymore. I think you should know."
The reason I wanted to tell him was because I was pregnant.
So she wanted Ye Xiaotian to know before they registered their marriage.
She was not the pure, innocent, and guileless girl he had imagined.
Living together in the future, he will eventually discover his dark side.
These words were spoken.
Ye Xiaotian's expression changed drastically, and he instantly became tense.
"What's up?"
Could it be that I've been cheated on? Has she secretly fallen for someone else?
No way, he can't be that badly off.
We hope this doesn't happen to him. He has never done anything wrong and has never wronged anyone.
He had feelings for Su Luo before, and his relationship with Lin Xiyue was not for pure purposes, but he and Su Luo never actually had a physical relationship.
Moreover, after Lin Xiyue discovered his feelings, he and Su Luo immediately became much more distant.
All these years, he has been devoted to Lin Xiyue, and he has rejected all the girls who pursued him!
Lin Xiyue seemed to find it difficult to speak, and did not immediately make a sound. Instead, she picked up her coffee and took small sips.
Ye Xiaotian was an impatient person, and he became extremely anxious when he saw that she was not saying anything.
"What exactly happened? Tell me! You haven't cheated on me, have you?"
"Cough cough..."
Lin Xiyue was so startled by Ye Xiaotian's words that she choked on the coffee she had just taken a sip and couldn't stop coughing.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian immediately pulled out two tissues from the tissue box on the table and handed them to her, forcing a smile and saying somewhat awkwardly.
"Don't be afraid. Even if you really fall in love with someone else, I won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Xiyue shook her head, took the tissue to wipe her mouth, and then said seriously.
"I haven't cheated on you, I haven't fallen in love with anyone else, and the only person I've ever loved is you."
Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"That's good. You scared me to death. Why were you so serious? I really thought I'd been cheated on."
Lin Xiyue frankly said, "Because it's about Su Luo."
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Xiaotian's heart, which had just settled down, was in suspense again.
How eerie!
Lin Xiyue and Su Luo haven't crossed paths for so many years. They only recently became superior and subordinate because of filming. Even though they are half-siblings, they don't want to acknowledge each other. What could possibly be going on?
Lin Xiyue said slowly.
“Actually, five years ago, when I first met Su Luo, I felt that he looked a bit like me, and he looked exactly like the photo of my father’s ex-wife that my father had displayed at home. You even told me that he was an orphan. Then I went home and told my mother. Comparing the age of Su Luo with the age when I lost my brother, I was able to confirm that he was my long-lost brother.”
“I wanted to tell my dad, but my mom stopped me, saying that if I found him, he would take half of my inheritance and all the love my dad had for me…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xiaotian became uncomfortable and asked in return.
"So you wavered?"
No wonder Lin Xiyue always tried to stop him from taking Su Luo and her sister to the Lin family, making excuses that it was inconvenient, and this dragged on for five years.
Is this reasonable?
Are you kidding me?
Is Lin Xiyue really such a materialistic and vain person? Is she really afraid that Su Luo will take half of her family fortune?
If she really cared about this, why didn't she obediently go back to inherit the family business instead of coming out to make it in the entertainment industry alone? He still remembers the small apartment she rented, the inexpensive clothes she wore, and how she would never tell her family when she was wronged on set, but would only silently shed tears in front of him.
Lin Xiyue nodded slightly, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips.
“Yes, I wavered. Even though I said I wanted to be independent and not spend my family's money, subconsciously I still felt that everything in the Lin family should be mine, and that my father could dote on me alone. But I really didn't expect that in the end, Su Luo wouldn't want anything…”
Actually, there was another important reason why she was so ruthless to Su Luo: Su Luo was her love rival. Although Su Luo was straight, she still felt that Ye Xiaotian had truly fallen for Su Luo.
If Su Luo weren't straight, he really wouldn't have had a chance at all.
"..."
Ye Xiaotian's mind went blank, and he couldn't utter a single word.
how so?
The kind, gentle, considerate, and good girl in his heart was someone you couldn't find even with a lantern.
How could there be such a ruthless and selfish side to them?
He had been with her for over five years and never noticed?
Why didn't I notice anything at all?
Lin Xiyue's heart clenched as she looked at Ye Xiaotian's incredibly disappointed eyes.
Her eyes reddened, and she bit her lip hard, unsure of what to say.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't accept reality at all and said somewhat excitedly.
"Why are you telling me this? I don't want to know! Why are you ruining the perfect image I have of you?"
Tears welled up in Lin Xiyue's eyes as she spoke in a trembling voice.
"Because we're getting married, I don't want to hide it from you. I want you to truly understand me."
Perhaps she was too greedy. She hoped that Ye Xiaotian would love the real her, not just her good side, but also that he could see her dark side and still choose her without hesitation or wavering.
Ye Xiaotian completely couldn't understand Lin Xiyue's thought process, and he grabbed his hair hard, feeling quite hurt.
"What kind of reason is that? Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
This is not the kind of love he understands. He always shows his best side to Lin Xiyue, not wanting her to discover his bad side, afraid that she will dislike him or abandon him.
I don't understand at all why she would expose her vulnerable side to me.
Lin Xiyue sniffed and said affectionately.
"Of course I want to. It's precisely because I want to be with you for the rest of my life that I'm telling you this. I don't want you to find out one day that I'm not the perfect person you envision, and then cruelly abandon me."
Ye Xiaotian asked blankly.
"I still don't understand, I don't understand..."
A sudden surge of fear and unease welled up within him.
Even though he had been with Lin Xiyue for five years, he still didn't understand her. She was no longer the innocent and carefree girl he knew who pursued her ideals and had everything she wanted. She had a selfish side and a cold-blooded side.
If that's the case, is her love for herself real?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian felt a sharp pain in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiyue again, and asked softly.
Do you really love me?
