302 Fragile Love
“Tell me, what made you angry?” Lian Jing grabbed her arm and refused to let go, insisting that she honestly tell him what she was thinking.
He had never been in a relationship before and did not know the best way for two people to get along, but he knew that it was definitely not what they were doing now.
He was used to seeing women in the business world currying favor for their own benefit and for the glory and wealth of their family. Lian Jing hated those tricks. In his opinion, they were just despicable tricks that weak animals used to survive.
That was why he liked Shen Yin’s straightforward personality. However, this little woman always threw these cute little tantrums in front of him, making him even more helpless in dealing with her.
When Shen Yin saw him, she remembered that another woman had leaned against his chest. She immediately pushed him away in disgust, looked away, and said coldly, “Lian Jing, I, Shen Yin, don’t need a man to survive. I’m not with you so that Nian Nian can have a complete family. I’m just following my heart and willing to accept your love.”
“So?” Lian Jing frowned and looked at her. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, Shen Yin’s next words completely extinguished the joy in his heart. “But now, I don’t want to be with you anymore. I can’t convince myself to forget what happened that night. I can never forgive you. This is a matter of principle.”
“You want to break up with me?” Lian Jing pulled her into his arms like a madman and pressed her against the wall. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger. “How dare you to say such things? Shen Yin, what kind of person do think I am? Have you ever truly liked me?”
Shen Yin closed her eyes, her heart also aching terribly. She could not bear to look into his eyes, afraid that if she saw his despair, her heart would soften. “Let’s split up. I want to bring Nian Nian to live in another city, but if you miss him, you can bring Nian Nian back to the Lian house often, but we…”
“Shen Yin!” Lian Jing growled and moved closer to her lips. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down repeatedly. “I won’t allow you to leave. I won’t agree to break up with you! Never! Are you going to have another man after breaking up with me? Who is it? Cheng Huo?”
“Enough!” Exhausted, Shen Yin pushed him away. She had used up all her strength and now she felt exhausted and helpless. “I’m tired of talking. I don’t want to say anymore. I’ll pack up and leave immediately.”
Lian Jing stared at her back fiercely, his chest heaving up and down violently. “If you dare to walk out of this door today, you won’t see Shen Nian again!”
Shen Yin had thought of many scenarios when the two of them separated, but she never thought that Lian Jing would use their son to threaten her. No matter how much the two of them argued in the past, he would never say such things.
The tears in her eyes gradually blurred her vision. Shen Yin turned around abruptly and suddenly felt that she could no longer see the man in front of her clearly. “Even if you force Nian Nian to stay, he will remember why we separated! Nian Nian and I won’t let allow you to manipulate us!”
Seeing her screaming at him at the top of her lungs, Lian Jing realized that he had said something wrong.
But what she did not understand was that using her son to threaten her would not grieve her. It would grieve him.
Because it was only now that he suddenly realized that other than a heart full of love, he had no other reason to ask Shen Yin to stay.
It turned out that love could be so powerless. It was so powerless that it could be completely destroyed overnight.
“Yin Yin.” After a day of torment, Lian Jing was physically and mentally exhausted. He really did not want to make a scene anymore. He lowered his voice and walked in front of her. He reached out and gently wiped her tears. “I’m sorry. I was wrong just now, but I won’t let you go. Regarding what happened that night, I, Lian Jing, didn’t do anything to betray you. Whether it is physically or mentally, you are my only woman.”
His voice was so soft that Shen Yin unconsciously softened her breathing, afraid to disturb him.
After a long time, she finally calmed down. She looked down at her toes and said in a muffled voice, “What’s going on between you and Mo Ru?”
She was finally willing to talk to him nicely.
Lian Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He pulled her hand and led her to the sofa. He patiently told her about the time he went out to play with Shang Sheng and the others. He also talked about the agreement the two of them had reached at the door. Lian Jing’s eyes were earnest. “I was wrong. Actually, I just felt that she had some motive, so I wanted to beat her at her own game.”
When she heard that Lian Jing was had been angry with her for such a childish and ridiculous reason, Shen Yin did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She shook her head helplessly and said, “I don’t want us to quarrel again because of Cheng Huo. This is the last time I’ll explain it to you. There’s really nothing going on between him and me. I saw him last night purely by chance.”
“Then…” Lian Jing pinched her fingers and carefully looked at her face. “Are we reconciled?”
