Chapter 209 Reversing the Previous Decision
Ye Qingning sighed deeply: "I don't know, I'm tired."
“This isn’t like you.” Chen Ci packed up the medicine box and put it aside, then sat down next to Ye Qingning. “In my eyes, you’re like an unkillable cockroach, full of energy and always moving forward.”
Ye Qingning lowered her eyes and twisted her fingers, her tone tinged with sadness: "Maybe it was just a momentary emotional outburst. Like you said, I'm so good at skateboarding, how could I possibly fall? But I did fall..."
She paused for a moment and then said, "You see, even something you're particularly good at can still make you stumble and fall hard; the more confident you are, the harder you fall."
Chen Ci remained silent, his gaze sweeping around. He could see that the vast garden was exceptionally beautiful, with a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers. Every scene and object was meticulously arranged.
It's clear that the eldest son put a lot of thought into renovating this house.
"Just like Lin Feiyan and me..."
Ye Qingning sighed and said, "I thought his feelings for me were enough to allow me to act however I wanted, no matter what. But now I realize that's not the case. He doesn't even care if I live or die. All he probably wants is an obedient doll..."
A few steps away, behind the bushes, Lin Feiyan clenched his fist, a sudden pang of bitterness gripping his heart.
No.
He was just afraid that once such a beautiful butterfly flew away to the vast world, she would forget that there was a home here.
He was just afraid that after she had been with too many men, she would find that he was worthless.
He was simply afraid that his world revolved entirely around her, while he only had a small corner in her world.
He was afraid, so he dared not let her fly away.
Rather than saying he wanted her to stay in his world, it would be more accurate to say he wanted her to stay in her world.
"How could he not care whether you live or die?" Chen Ci said solemnly, "You are his life, you are more important than anything else in his eyes."
"I stayed in the room for so many days, and he didn't say a single kind word, nor did he reflect on what was wrong with his behavior."
Ye Qingning frowned: "Isn't this because all he wants is my body? He doesn't care at all whether I'm happy or not!"
"It's because you hold such a heavy place in the boss's heart, so much so that he's afraid to hold you in his hands for fear of dropping you, afraid to keep you in his mouth for fear of melting you, that's why he wants to keep you by his side."
Chen Ci was silent for a moment: "I think if you give him some more time, he will figure it out."
Ye Qingning looked up at the horizon, where a few beautiful clouds drifted by in the azure sky.
It's very free.
Just like she was in her original world.
A sincere heart runs only towards the direction of dreams.
Regardless of anything else, forging ahead without hesitation.
But now...
Her tone was quite helpless: "Even you can't do anything about him, so what right do I have to change him? I overestimated myself and my importance in his heart."
After saying this, she got up and left the pavilion, limping towards the house.
Soon, Lin Feiyan's wheelchair reached the pavilion. Gazing in the direction Ye Qingning had left, a deep sense of loss lingered in his eyes.
"Boss," Chen Ci asked, "did you hear everything?"
Lin Feiyan nodded: "Mm."
Chen Ci's tone was somewhat distant: "Since you like each other, why not try to open your hearts and give each other some confidence? A woman like Miss Ye is definitely the type who would be willing to stay with one person until old age."
"Yeah?"
“Yes.” Chen Ci laughed: “Because she is too simple. Her thoughts are simple, her life is simple, and her circle of friends is simple. She will not let herself get involved in any complicated emotions. So once she likes someone, unless that person disappoints her to the extreme, she will not change her mind.”
Lin Feiyan remained silent for a long time: "She's already starting to lose hope in me, isn't she?"
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "I think she's not disappointed in you, but disappointed in herself. She always thought she could change you, but she found out... so she's probably disappointed in herself."
"What should I do? Give her her freedom?"
"To be precise, it's about giving her confidence." Chen Ci smiled. "Let her know that she truly holds a place in your heart where she can do whatever she wants."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "Mm."
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Chen Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I came here today to update the medicines in the house. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back after I finish updating."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"Look at what you're saying." Chen Ci got up and pushed the wheelchair: "I'll push you back to the house."
"good."
"By the way, the ointment I gave Miss Ye last time can be used on her legs. After applying it, gently spread it out and massage for at least five minutes," Chen Ci instructed.
How many times a day?
“One time is enough.” Chen Ci smiled. “Of course, you can tell Miss Ye that you are following the doctor’s advice to do it three times a day, or do as you please.”
Lin Feiyan nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "Okay. Then send over a few more bottles."
"Okay. I'll prepare it when I get back."
...
After Chen Ci finished updating the medicine and left, Lin Feiyan sat in the study for a long time, his mind replaying Ye Qingning's words.
"The more confident you are, the harder you fall," "I thought his feelings for me could really support my arbitrary behavior," "I stayed in the room for so many days, and he didn't say a single kind word," "I overestimated myself, overestimated my importance in his heart"...
Therefore, Chen Ci is right.
He wanted to give her confidence and let her know that she truly mattered to him.
