She turned her gaze away as if nothing had happened, only to discover that Lin Wencheng was holding her hand and speaking some nonsense.
"Xiao Yan, I have never had the thought of giving up on you. Although I have already given up on you, you should know that I was forced to do so. Back then, something happened to my father, and only …"
She shook his hand off indifferently,
"Lin Wen Cheng, what do you mean by saying these words to me? You want me to wait for you? How many years do you want me to wait for you? Five years? Ten years? "
Lin Wen Cheng sat there dejectedly without saying anything. She got up gracefully and said with a resolute tone.
"Giving up is giving up. Any excuse now would be useless!" "Lin Wen City, I will never forgive you for your abandonment that year!"
Lin Wen Cheng suddenly looked up at her. The sharp eyes of the prosecutor were filled with intense pain.
She inadvertently glanced at the situation on the second floor, only to find that the woman was no longer there. He was the only person left coldly watching everything.
Looking at his arrogant aura, her already dejected mood became even worse. She desperately needed a way to release it.
Thus, she smiled mischievously as she lowered her head to whisper into Lin Wencheng's ear. The words that came out of her mouth when she smiled brightly were incomparably cold.
"Also, second brother-in-law, don't ever meet again. If my second sister finds out, I wonder how she'll torture me!"
Then she carried her bag out of the café, proud as a queen.
She pursed her lips and leaned against the back seat. She tilted her head and looked out the window at the misty night. Under the flickering neon lights, her little face was filled with loneliness and sadness.
For Lin Wencheng, it wasn't that she loved him to the point of death. It was just that ever since her lonely childhood, he had always been by her side, protecting her, giving her love, giving her warmth. After all these years, she was already used to having him by her side.
But one day, that person no longer belonged to her. That feeling of despair, of being abandoned by the world, had almost destroyed her. After that, she had begun to coldly raise all the thorns in her body, learning to protect herself.
Whatever it was, she thought, as long as she didn't mind, didn't care, she wouldn't be hurt again.
The radio was playing a song, a shrill, heart-wrenching sound that seemed out of place in the silence of the car, but she was mesmerized by it.
"It is foolish to keep your promise, and blame yourself for being bewitched by love. What you have said is no longer important, but I have never forgotten it. It's silly to keep your promise. You can only blame yourself for being bewitched by love, finding a drunk heart, and remembering how to escape in the emptiness. "
At the school gate, she still didn't want to get out, so she took out her wallet and looked at it. She had two hundred dollars left, so she told the driver to keep going until she got to a hundred before she turned back.
The driver looked at her strangely, pressed down the accelerator and followed her instructions.
Not long after she left, her phone suddenly rang. She turned her gaze away from the window, opened her phone to see that it was an unfamiliar number. She was not in the mood to answer it, so she hung up.
However, that person continued to beat her up. Her tone of voice sounded very fierce as if she was on fire.
"Who are you?"
She was almost hysterical.
The person clearly did not expect to receive such treatment. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said,
"Won't you explain?"
The voice was neither fast nor slow, neither light nor heavy, but it seemed to be filled with anger.
It was him!
The hand that she was holding on to the phone trembled. The fragile sadness from one second ago was suddenly replaced by a defensive mask.
She clearly knew that he was referring to tonight's events, yet she still pretended to be confused.
"I'm very sorry about the matter at the mall in the afternoon. There was an emergency that suddenly occurred, so I didn't have the time to say goodbye to you before I left …"
His voice was still calm, like clear water in a pond.
"You know I'm not talking about the afternoon!"
She asked lightly,
"Do you mean tonight?" What do you want me to explain? It's just my second brother-in-law treating me to a cup of coffee! "
His tone suddenly became sharp.
"Are you sure he's just your second brother-in-law?"
Being angered by his overbearing tone, her tone also became impolite.
"Gu Mo Cheng, what qualifications do you have to question me like that? Aren't you in the bosom of a beautiful woman as well? "
What was he doing? The interrogation after the adultery? But wasn't he also a beauty with a gentle heart? What right did he have to question her?
Even if he said that he would marry her today and she agreed to marry him, he should know better than her that it was only a game. What right did he have to use that sarcastic tone of his to question her?
"Where are you?"
Clearly, the person on the other end of the phone had been infuriated by her, and her tone had finally lost its calm elegance.
"None of your business!"
Without thinking, she blurted out, as if for the first time in twenty years she were shouting so wilfully.
She had always been a silent person and would never easily get angry. Most of the time, she felt like she could let it go, but at this moment, she really couldn't stay calm.
Then, she heard his words coming out one by one from between her teeth.
"It's fine if you don't say it, but I will find you no matter what!"
