Chapter 351: I Hated You, yet I Can’t Help Missing You

“We’re off then.”

“Goodbye, Auntie.”

Yue Tingfeng took the cosmetics from Yan Qingsi, and the duo left.

Mrs. Yue heard the sound of the car engine starting and harrumphed, “Two heartless kids.”

Aunt Wu, while clearing the dining table, asked, “Madam, you like Miss Yan very much right?”

“Nonsense…I…I just felt that she…she’s rather pitiable, losing her mother from a young age and growing up with her stepmother. Those in the Yan family are all like that. She must’ve gone through quite some hardships in her youth. Sigh…most importantly is Tingfeng loves her. If he loves her, I, as a mother, can’t just get in the way. Moreover, she’s…quite capable. If they do get together, she can control that little rascal in the future.”

Aunt Wu nodded. “Yes, you’re right.”

Mrs. Yue stretched her tired bones. After an entire day of shopping, followed by that episode with that Helan couple, she was exhausted from wasting so much brainpower.

“I’ll go take a nap upstairs. Aunt Wu, remember to buy some short ribs at the market tomorrow. Pick the good ones.”

“Sigh, will do!”

…

The summer nights come early. Just a little past six in the evening and the roads were already lit. The sun had yet to set and there were highrises all around in the distance. The roads were filled with cars. In this modernized big city, technology advanced quickly. Yet, the relationships between people were waning.

Yan Qingsi stared blankly at the passing cars, deep in unknown thoughts.

Yue Tingfeng focused on his driving. He stole a glance at Yan Qingsi before saying, “I think, I should tell you something. I’m not a wastrel.”

Yan Qingsi turned around in confusion. “Hm?”

“I did lose two Paganis in the past, but a few days later, I won four in return. Compared to my squandering, my ability to make money is superior,” Yue Tingfeng stated seriously.

Yan Qingsi was dazed. Why was he explaining this to her?

Yan Qingsi nodded. “Yeah, you…are quite capable of generating income.”

There was no doubt about it. Who did not know that the young master of Yue clan was someone who employed the most ruthless of methods and a genius at making profits. Seldom would one be able to take advantage of any business that was conducted with him.

The corner of Yue Tingfeng’s lips curled. “Good that you know.”

He wanted to let Yan Qingsi know that he can make money. He was not a wastrel. She would not need to worry about him squandering all his assets and losing the ability to support them.

However, Yan Qingsi was obviously not giving much thought to the implications of young master Yue’s statements. She was distracted.

Yan Qingsi wanted to get out as they arrived on set but the doors were locked by Yue Tingfeng.

“Wait a moment. I have something to tell you.”

Yan Qingsi looked at him. “What is it?”

Yue Tingfeng stared at her. Those dark eyes… Deep and soft, as though capable of engulfing her, caused Yan Qingsi to be stunned for a moment.

Yue Tingfeng steeled his face and said in all seriousness, “We’ve known each other for three and a half years now. In the beginning, I looked down on you. I thought how could there be such a freak like you. For the three years that you were gone, I never missed you. I just took it as a woman that I slept with for a night, nothing much to it. I didn’t expect to meet you again, neither did I thought that seeing you three years later, I still remember everything about you ever so clearly. I thought I forgot, but…I didn’t…”

“At that time, I was thinking, how could I remember this woman so clearly. What’s she good for? I hated you so vehemently, yet I could not stop myself from missing you.”
