Fallen
Chapter 9
Chapter 9
The heating was still on in the shopping mall, Ye Yinfeng and Wen Xuan took off their coats, but they still felt hot.Both of them carried several shopping bags in their hands.
Ye Yinfeng looked at his watch, it was getting late, so he said, "Let's find a place to eat."
"Hmm. It would be great if the restaurant could provide air-conditioning." Wen Xuan joked.
"How is this possible!" Ye Yinfeng stretched out his hand, "Give me everything, I'll get it!"
The two were chatting and laughing, Wen Xuan was still holding Ye Yinfeng's arm affectionately, like a perfect couple made in heaven, from time to time there were envious eyes looking at them, Ye Yinfeng noticed it, and his mood gradually improved.
As soon as he entered the hall of Yage, someone recognized Ye Yinfeng and immediately came to say hello: "Isn't this Xiaoye!"
Wen Xuan quickly withdrew her hand from his arm with great interest.
Ye Yinfeng also hurriedly replied: "Hello, Uncle Chen!"
"Is your father in good health recently? Let him come out for tea with his old colleagues when he has time!" The other party looked at Wen Xuan frequently while being polite, "This is..."
Ye Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "My girlfriend, Qiu Wenxuan. Wenxuan, this is Uncle Chen, a colleague who is very close to my dad!"
Wen Xuan greeted each other with a smile.
Uncle Chen teased with a smile: "My girlfriend is so beautiful, your parents must be very happy."
Wen Xuan quickly glanced at Ye Yinfeng. Although he was still smiling, his smile was unavoidably a little vain.
After finally getting rid of Uncle Chen, Ye Yinfeng specially asked for a private room to avoid the embarrassment just now.
While eating the food, Wen Xuan said slowly, "You didn't need to introduce me like that just now."
Ye Yinfeng was stunned again, and then his expression returned to calm: "Sooner or later, you don't have to think too much, just let it take its course."
Wen Xuan didn't refute anymore, and smiled at him.
Within two days, what Ye Yinfeng expected happened.
As soon as he got home that night, he saw his mother sitting in the living room with a happy expression on his face: "Yinfeng, do you have something to hide from me and your father?"
"No!" He pretended to be puzzled, and while lowering his head to change his shoes, he was still a little apprehensive.
"Still said no! Old Chen told us when he came this morning!" Mother Ye said angrily, "You are so serious! Even if you have a girlfriend, don't bring it home to show us!"
"Oh, you guys have known each other for a long time." Ye Yinfeng tried his best to put on a natural smile.
"I know him?" Ye Mu's eyes were bright, she was so happy, "Could it be Xia Xia?"
Ye's mother has always had a good impression of Xia Xia, and hinted several times that Ye Yinfeng would bring her to play at home, so Ye Yinfeng never mentioned Xia Xia's resignation to his family to avoid trouble.At this time, when his mother mentioned Xia Xia's name again, his heart trembled for no reason, and he lowered his head a little irritably: "Of course not! It's... Wen Xuan."
"Who?" Mother Ye didn't hear clearly.
For a moment, Ye Yinfeng wanted to run away suddenly, he could almost guess his mother's next reaction, and that was the most troublesome trouble for him.
But he soon developed contempt for his own cowardice, and his heart suddenly fell. Delay and avoidance are not the answer, and the problems that should be solved will have to be solved sooner or later.
He walked up to his mother, sat down with a smile on his face, and repeated clearly: "Mom, my girlfriend is Wenxuan, Qiu Wenxuan. Don't you guys already know her?"
Mother Ye was stunned: "What are you kidding?"
"I'm not joking, Mom, I'm indeed dating Wen Xuan...it's been a few months."
After Ye Mu understood, her complexion suddenly changed, and her apricot eyebrows stood upright: "Ye Yinfeng, do you know what you are doing?"
This is an expected interrogation, he cannot avoid it, and must face it seriously.
Ye Yinfeng looked at his mother sincerely: "I know. Mom, I like Wenxuan very much, and she treats me the same. Please... help us."
"Bastard!" Mother Ye trembled with anger, "Do you know who Qiu Wenxuan is? She is Xiaoxiang's wife, your sister-in-law!"
Mother Ye's angry yelling startled Father Ye who was reading magazines in the room, he walked out slowly, took off his reading glasses, and frowned at the two of them: "Why are you arguing?"
"Ask your son! What is he doing!" Mother Ye pointed at Ye Yinfeng, "Old man, do you know that he, unexpectedly, got mixed up with Qiu Wenxuan!"
"Mom!" Ye Yinfeng suppressed his dissatisfaction, "Wen Xuan is single now, and I am also single, why can't we be together?"
"You're so lucky to be able to ask!" Mother Ye's eyes burst into flames, "Let's not talk about Xiaoxiang first, Qiu Wenxuan still has a child, how do you ask me and your father to explain to others? You are a good never married Boy, let so many good girls look down on you, and insist on messing with a widow, your father and I will lose all face!"
Ye Yinfeng was also angry: "Wen Xuan has a dead husband and a child, but there is no law that stipulates that I cannot marry such a woman! Mom, is your face or my happiness important?"
Ye Yinfeng seldom gets angry in front of his parents, and this is probably the first time in his adult life, Ye mother was a little confused by a few questions from him, and she froze there for a while.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing!" Ye's father was the peacemaker, and carried Ye's mother into the room, "The child is so old, you still think he is five or six years old, and you have something to say." , What's the use of getting excited!"
"I'm really going to piss me off!" Mother Ye wiped her eyes, feeling infinitely wronged after she got angry.
"Mom!" Ye Yinfeng called to stop his mother.
He felt guilty for his attitude just now, and his tone slowed down a lot, but he felt that he had to emphasize his position: "Emotional matters are about fate, and you used to talk about this. After so many years, I I didn't get married for a long time because I didn't meet the person who was destined, until I met Wenxuan... I won't give up on her."
Mother Ye stomped her feet anxiously again: "Old Ye, do you care about this matter? Your son is in a daze now, and no relatives recognize him!"
"Let's go, let's go in and talk!" Father Ye comforted, coaxing his wife into the room anyway.
Sitting alone in the empty living room, Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt an unprecedented emptiness.All along, he has regarded his home as the most reliable harbor. He never thought that one day, he would declare war on his favorite relatives, and this home turned into a battlefield.
Naturally, Ye Yinfeng couldn't tell Wen Xuan about the embarrassing situation at home. He was still trying to persuade his parents to accept Wen Xuan, although it seemed difficult at the moment.
One afternoon after several days of stalemate with his parents, Ye Yinfeng was in a meeting, and the secretary ran to him out of breath, saying that his father had called, as if there was something urgent.
Ye Yinfeng hurried back to the office, and there was a series of missed calls on the mobile phone he forgot on the table. Father Ye couldn't find him, so he had to call the switchboard of his company, and the receptionist transferred it to his secretary.
On the phone, the father's voice was extremely low: "Yinfeng, you'd better come back right away."
Ye Yinfeng's heart trembled: "What's the matter, Dad?"
"Your mother hasn't eaten well for the past two days, she just kept complaining about stomach pain."
"Are you sent to the hospital?" Ye Yinfeng was also anxious.
"I gave her a few pills, and she is resting in bed. If you have nothing to do, come back and see her." Father Ye paused, his tone slowed down, "Your mother has always loved you so much, and she will not take care of you this time." I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, if you have anything to say, you can talk to her face to face."
Ye Yinfeng's heart softened, and he lowered his eyes and replied, "Understood, Dad! I'll be back now."
When Ye Yinfeng arrived home, his mother was already asleep.
He tiptoed out of his mother's bedroom, while his father was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, beckoning him over.
The Ye family is a loving father and strict mother. Ye Yinfeng's daily life and academic performance have always been taken care of by his mother since he was a child. His father is busy with work all year round and rarely asks questions. Talking heart to heart, the effect is often more effective than the mother's punishment.
"Is there anything urgent in the company?"
"No." Ye Yinfeng sat down beside his father, he knew that his father must have something to tell him.
"Yinfeng, you and Qiu Wenxuan..."
Upon hearing the opening remarks, Ye Yinfeng's nerves immediately tensed up again.
How could Father Ye not understand his thoughts, looked at his grown son, and sighed silently: "You are in your early thirties, and you have been very independent since you were young. Regarding your emotional matters, I don't want to Intervene, and have no right to interfere. What kind of girl you like and who you want to be with is your own business."
"Thank you, Dad, for understanding." Ye Yinfeng was grateful, men were indeed more rational than women.
"However, there are two things I want to remind you." Father Ye changed the subject abruptly, "After all, Qiu Wenxuan was Xiaoxiang's wife, and Xiaoxiang has been away for less than a year, so you are with her...is it appropriate?"
Ye Yinfeng's mother's stern condemnation failed to hit Ye Yinfeng, but it was his father's slow questioning that made him feel ashamed and couldn't help but bow his head.
"Also, how much do you really know about Wen Xuan?"
Ye Yinfeng heard his father's implication, and felt slightly confused and nervous: "...Dad, what do you mean?"
"I'm not familiar with Wenxuan, and I don't know her past experiences." Father Ye said slowly after thinking, "However, there is one thing that impressed me deeply: that was the first time your mother and I met her. On the day Lanxi attended Xiaoxiang's funeral, Wenxuan... looked very strange at that time."
For some reason, when Ye Yinfeng stared at his father's pensive face, he felt chilly as if an invisible hand had grabbed his neck.
He didn't dare to say anything, and listened to his father in silence.
"She looked very quiet, even a little indifferent, as if Xiaoxiang had nothing to do with her. She didn't shed a tear during the whole funeral. Afterwards, your mother whispered to me, saying that Xiaoxiang married this wife. You don’t know how to cry even twice. You know the old customs here, people leave without relatives and cry, they will become lonely ghosts, of course this is a superstition... But Wenxuan’s reaction to Xiaoxiang’s death is somewhat unreasonable.”
After listening to his father's description, Ye Yinfeng's uneasy mood eased, and he leaned back on the sofa, and couldn't help but defend Wenxuan: "Wenxuan's temperament is born like this, and she has eaten a lot before. Bitter, a little... a little cold in dealing with people and things."
Father Ye glanced at him: "Has she talked to you about the past?"
Ye Yinfeng was afraid that his father would dig deeper, so he reluctantly nodded: "I said a little bit."
Father Ye looked at his expression thoughtfully, and after pondering for a moment, he finally didn't ask further: "My attitude has been made clear just now, I will not object to your association, after all, you are an adult. But , can you put this matter on hold for the sake of your mother's health?"
Seeing that Ye Yinfeng was in a dilemma, his father said again: "Your mother has been proud of you all her life. She must be very hard to accept if you suddenly give her such a sudden blow. Besides, it will be good for you to take it easy. You can think about it." It is clear whether you are impulsive towards Wenxuan, or your relationship is so strong that you can stay together for a lifetime."
His father's reasons were reasonable, which made it difficult for Ye Yinfeng to say no. After struggling for a while, he said, "Dad, please give me some time to think about it."
There was a faint smile on the corner of Father Ye's mouth. Based on his understanding of his son, he understood that this answer would ultimately mean that his son would compromise.
In the middle of the night, Ye Yinfeng drove to Shuiyue Bay Pier alone.
The cold night wind blows from the lake, blowing his clothes lightly, but the disturbance in his heart makes him lose the ability to feel the cold. He clenched his hands on the railing, looking at the small island in the middle of the lake in the dim light .
A crescent moon quietly rose to the mid-heaven, and the reflection in the water swayed with the waves from time to time, just like his restless heart at the moment.
He felt that two forces were tearing himself apart. Under the tremendous pressure, he thought of running away again, but he still couldn't find a shelter to hide in.
Thinking about how fearless I was when I was a child, even if Tian Ning was dropped dozens of meters on a sports field that I was not good at, he would still grit his teeth and rush to the finish line.The encouraging cheers from the girls were the most powerful weapon against Tian Ning's ridicule.
At that time, no matter what he did, he was a hero. Even if he failed, his teachers and classmates would still forgive him.Perhaps this is what Tian Ning is most worried about him.
When he is old, his timidity is like a glacier in spring, gradually melting into water, trying to annihilate him.
He raised his head and looked at the cold lonely moon, his father's words were like a dark cloud, quietly covering the top of his heart.
"Xiaoxiang." He silently called out to the sky, since he fell in love with Wenxuan, this was a name he always wanted to avoid.
"Have you ever loved Wen Xuan?" He asked confusedly under the silver moonlight, "If you once loved her deeply, you would definitely not prevent her from regaining happiness, would you?"
The moon was shining brightly, but no one answered.
Ye Yinfeng turned around, the lights of the tea house in the distance brought wisps of orange light, and the shadows of the whirling trees swayed slightly in the night wind, he walked slowly towards the bright warmth, but his heart was still foggy Misty.
When I got home, the lights were still on in my parents' bedroom.
Ye Yinfeng hesitated outside the door for a few seconds, and finally reached out to knock on the door.The bedroom door was quickly opened, and my father stood inside the door, looking at him peacefully.
"Dad, I'm back."
The father nodded, realizing from his son's eyes that he had something to say, and stepped aside to let him in.
Mother Ye was sitting on the head of the bed, reading the newspaper with reading glasses on, turning a deaf ear to the sound of her son entering the door.
Ye Yinfeng walked to the bed and asked in a low voice: "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Thanks to you, I can't die." Mother was still angry.
"Mom, I've thought about it, I... I'll listen to you," Ye Yinfeng lowered his eyes to hide the pain in his heart, "Wen Xuan and I... I plan to... separate."
Mother Ye's gaze paused on a line of text, and after a while, she put down the newspaper and stared at her son for a long time.No matter how strict a mother is, her heart will inevitably soften in the face of such an obedient son.
She patted the edge of the bed, and her tone returned to the softness of the past: "Come, sit down and talk."
Ye Yinfeng sat down as he said.
"Yinfeng, I know you resent me in your heart. I want you to be happy too, but this is a matter of your life after all, and I can't watch you regret it in the future."
"mom……"
"No, listen to what Mom has to say. Do you think Mom is against you and Wenxuan for the sake of her own face? You don't know me too well."
Ye Yinfeng didn't argue, just listened silently.
"Your father and I are both so old, face is not as important as you think. But doesn't mother know you yet? You have been competitive since you were young, and you hope to be the best no matter what you do. Not bad , Wenxuan is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she will feel normal after a long time. Will you be able to stand her two previous marriages? Also, can you treat Xiaodong as your own child without any pimples? ?”
Ye Yinfeng looked at his mother in shock, as if returning to his dazed childhood.He really didn't think much about these issues that actually scared him, maybe he didn't dare to think about them.
"You young people, you value love more than anything else. I can understand this, but love is also about the foundation. It doesn't mean that you have to be a good match. That's all the old emperor's calendar. What I mean by the foundation is that you two have some similarities in common. Point, there is something to talk about. Ask yourself, is there any difference between you and Wen Xuan? The gap between the two of you is too far in terms of experience and knowledge."
Ye Yinfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Mom is someone who has experienced it, so I might as well tell you the truth. Love will degenerate or even disappear one day. At that time, what are you going to do to Wen Xuan? If you are looking for someone similar to you, one day, love will not be there." Yes, but you still have friendship and family affection, and these feelings are enough to keep you together for a lifetime."
"Mom, I..."
"Yinfeng, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, I know you are a person who cares about face. Whoever you choose will live with that person for the rest of your life. Even if you regret it in the future, you will hold back. But do you think it's worth it? Instead of going there , why not let me do this villain today."
Ye's mother burst into tears when she mentioned the excitement, Ye Yinfeng hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Mom, from what you said, haven't I already... agreed to break up?"
"I'm so angry!" Mother Ye sighed, "This Qiu Wenxuan, she must have seen your talent..."
"Mom—" Ye Yinfeng frowned, "Wen Xuan is not that kind of person."
Ye's mother also knew how to accept as soon as she was good, and seeing her son's displeased expression, she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, since it's all decided, we won't mention this matter again in the future."
Only then did Ye Yinfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
The father walked over with a smile: "It's good for the mother and son to talk about it, Yinfeng, in short, your mother has no other intentions, but hopes that everything will be fine for you."
Walking out of his parents' room, Ye Yinfeng's mood was so complicated that he couldn't describe it, there was pain, loss, guilt, and a sense of relief that he didn't want to admit.
No matter how strong a person is, when faced with trouble, he will have an instinct to avoid it.However, whether you can really escape, you can only know if you go on.
For several days, there was no news from Ye Yinfeng, and Wen Xuan had a premonition that something must have happened.Picked up the phone several times and put it down again.She has long been used to being passive when it comes to dealing with men.
But this time is different, because of caring, every second of suspicion has become the most unbearable torment.
At the end of the day, she had to let go of her reserve and dialed Ye Yinfeng's number on her mobile phone. As she dialed, a sense of foreboding similar to sadness rose in her heart, and she knew that all her premonitions were so accurate.
It took a long time for the bell to ring, and Ye Yinfeng's deep voice came into her ears from the receiver: "Wen Xuan?"
"It's me." Wen Xuan tried to sound cheerful and natural, "Are you busy these two days?"
"Well, I'm busy with Jiang Run's case, so I didn't contact you."
There was no abnormality in Ye Yinfeng's calm tone, Wen Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, laughing secretly at her nervousness.
"Then, come over for dinner tonight. I'll make two dishes that you like. No matter how busy you are, you have to have dinner."
"I'm sorry, I... I'm afraid I don't have time."
Hearing his preoccupied tone, the doubts that had just been suppressed suddenly raised their heads again. Wen Xuan was a little dazed for a while, before she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, then come back after you finish your work."
Just as she was about to hang up, Ye Yinfeng suddenly stopped her again: "Wen Xuan!"
"Ok?"
"Let's... separate for a while."
Ye Yinfeng finally said this, the reason he didn't contact Wen Xuan these two days was because he didn't know how to talk to her.
Wen Xuan's chest was suffocated, she closed her eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds, her face was pale and cold, but fortunately Ye Yinfeng couldn't see it.She tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, and asked directly: "Does your mother disagree?"
"...Well." Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt sad when he was pointed out by a word, "I mean...to be separated for a while. My mother...she has a hard time accepting...you have to give her time."
Wen Xuan suddenly lowered her head, swallowed the choked sobs welling up in her throat, and smiled sadly: "It's okay, it's fine as you say."
"I'm sorry, Wenxuan... am I useless?"
"Don't say that about yourself." Wen Xuan tried to adjust her breathing. She was not very surprised by the expected result. Although the pain in her heart was so strong, she had to cover it up lightly. She was not used to showing it when she was abandoned. Showing weakness, "Then, let's do this first, I wish you win Jiang Run's project."
"Thank you, and you too... Take care."
Wen Xuan laughed until the last second, until the busy tone came from the receiver, and the smile on her face disappeared as if blown away by a strong wind.
The phone slipped from the palm of her hand to her lap, she didn't notice it, but felt a chill rushing up from the bottom of her heart.
There is never a lack of women around Ye Yinfeng.
He has been able to receive love letters from girls since he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and he has received countless confessions, including written and oral, during his graduation from university.
Gradually, he basically just needs to glance at a girl's eyes to tell if she has a crush on him, even though most of the time he chooses to play dumb.
He has had three emotional experiences, two at school and one after work.Three times, his girlfriend took the initiative to find him, and all three times, without exception, the other party dumped him. The reasons were different, but he summed it up.
Every time a relationship ends, he feels a sense of relief—he is so tightly surrounded by girls, it is rare to have room to breathe, and he feels that every pore in his body is extremely comfortable.
Later, he became more cautious when a girl showed affection to him. Although the taste of being in love is wonderful, he really doesn't like the feeling of being tied up all the time.
But the falling in love and breaking up with Wenxuan were different from any previous ones.
This time, it was he who took the initiative to confess to the other party - although he had already noticed Wen Xuan's obvious affection for him, in the end, it was he who took the initiative to break up.
Love in the world is nothing more than this in the end, love, break up, nothing unusual.But for Ye Yinfeng, perhaps it was because of that little difference from the past that he not only didn't feel relieved after breaking up, but instead felt depressed because of guilt.
Of course, in the first few days of the breakup, Ye Yinfeng also felt the pleasure of relief, but this pleasure was not because he could finally get rid of his girlfriend's endless entanglement and all kinds of disturbing demands, but—he Finally, I don't have to face all kinds of questioning and strange looks because of Wen Xuan's identity.
However, it didn't take long for him to relax, and the bits and pieces of being with Wen Xuan kept reappearing in his mind, and the vows he had promised to eachother had not been realized before they could be counted.He was a man of promise, and he was sincere when he said those words, thinking that he was indeed capable of giving Wen Xuan a bright future.
The promises made in the past were easily shattered in front of the affection of the parents.
However, the opposition from his parents was not so intense that everything would be destroyed. Ye Yinfeng also realized that his compromise contained too many complicated elements that he couldn't even explain clearly, so he felt even more guilty towards Wenxuan.
Wen Xuan did not swear by his previous girlfriends to break up, but then she kept calling and texting him, and after a while, she disappeared completely.
She was as quiet as a cloud, drifting through his world without a sound, without complaints, and seemed to have no nostalgia.
After a week of restlessness, Ye Yinfeng couldn't hold back, and dialed Wen Xuan's cell phone number one afternoon.
Her cell phone is turned off.
If she answered the phone and the two chatted lightly without seeing each other, Ye Yinfeng might feel better.
Is Wenxuan playing with herself?Or is she determined to retreat from her life entirely?
Distraught, he threw his phone on the table, his mind was gradually filled with all kinds of ominous guesses, he couldn't hold back anymore, he simply put down his work and drove to Wenxuan's shop.
To his surprise, the shop was not open, the shutter door was closed, and a page of paper was pasted on it.Ye Yinfeng leaned forward to read it carefully, and it turned out to be the notice of the transfer of Zhang's shop.
He felt as if he had been punched violently, and after taking a breath, he turned around and ran back to the car, frantically rushing to Wenxuan's house.
Regret swallowed his heart in an instant.He should have expected this result, it's not that he doesn't understand Wen Xuan's temper, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she won't cry when things happen, but she also has self-esteem and assertiveness.
Ye Yinfeng slammed on the gas pedal while praying that Wenxuan hadn't left Sanjiang.
A crazy thought suddenly came to his mind: as long as she is still there, as long as he can catch up in time, this time, he must keep her.
At this moment, all he could think about was Wen Xuan's good, even a slight smile to himself was enough to make him fascinated.
Ye Yinfeng suddenly realized that he loved Wen Xuan so deeply, but was so stupid that he let her go and pushed her away.
He had the electronic key card of Wenxuan's house. After parking the car, he swiped the card all the way in. He couldn't wait for the elevator. He ran to the eighth floor in one breath, and soon stood in front of Wenxuan's house.
But he didn't dare to take out the key to open the lock, lest he would see cold eyes after opening the door.
He slammed on the door with a terrifying sound: "Wen Xuan, open the door! Wen Xuan, are you there?" He shouted almost in despair, as if the world had come to an end.
In fact, he didn't wait too long, and the door was opened. Wen Xuan was slightly surprised, and stood in the door in a daze.
Ye Yinfeng was panting from running, and he was still gasping for breath at this moment. He stared at Wen Xuan, in a trance, as if in a dream, he stepped forward and hugged her: "Wen Xuan, so you didn't leave..."
Wen Xuan was in his arms, but a little stiff, she let him hold her.
Ye Yinfeng didn't wait for the expected enthusiastic response, hugged her for a while, and then let go of her hand embarrassingly.
Wen Xuan's expression quickly returned to its usual calmness, and she stepped aside: "Come in and talk."
Ye Yinfeng was affected by her cold voice, his intense emotions gradually calmed down, and he didn't dare to be abrupt in front of her again.
"I couldn't get through to your mobile phone, so I went to your store again and saw the transfer notice..." He stared at her back and murmured to explain.
The house was tidied up very cleanly. Wen Xuan walked into the bedroom, Ye Yinfeng followed, and what appeared in front of her was a neatly cleaned bed frame. Two suitcases were spread out on both sides of the bed. Wen Xuan was unpacking the wardrobe. The clothes inside are stacked one by one.
"Yes, I'm planning to transfer the shop out." Wen Xuan buried her head in folding her clothes, her long hair loosened to hide her expression, "Xiaodong and I are leaving here."
Ye Yinfeng's hands clenched into balls involuntarily, and he guessed it.
"Where are you... planning to go?"
"Go back to Lanxi." Wen Xuan still did not raise her head, and Ye Yinfeng's conscience was disturbed by the calmness in her tone, "I've figured it out, I'm really not suitable for you, your mother is right, you should find It's better to have a better girl to start a family, before... I was too greedy."
She finally straightened up, facing Ye Yinfeng, with a heart-breaking smile on her cheeks: "Actually, I shouldn't have come to Sanjiang in the first place, I will only cause trouble for you here."
Ye Yinfeng's throat throbbed, and he wanted to say something, but something seemed to block his throat.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Wen Xuan opened the bedside table, took out a document and handed it to him, "I wanted to send it to you by courier when I left, but now that you're here, I'll save one thing."
Ye Yinfeng didn't answer, and stared at her: "What is it?"
"All my shares in Maxim will be donated to you." Wen Xuan shrugged easily, "But then again, these don't belong to me in the first place."
Ye Yinfeng's brows trembled, he didn't expect Wen Xuan to be so free and easy.
"As for this house," Wen Xuan looked around, full of nostalgia and reluctance, "Since it's my name, I won't refund it to you, even though you actually earned the money to buy it."
"I have entrusted an intermediary to help me put it up for sale." She smiled apologetically at him, "Xiaodong and I need money."
Ye Yinfeng shook his head slowly, at first slightly, but later became more and more violent: "No, you can't do that!"
The guilt and reluctance he had buried in his heart for a long time were stirred up by Wen Xuan's departure at this moment, and an unprecedented arbitrariness gripped him tightly.
Ye Yinfeng took a step forward, and suddenly pulled Wen Xuan into his arms, hugging her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
"Qiu Wenxuan! You can't just leave like this, I won't let you go!"
Wen Xuan let him hug her stiffly, resting her chin on his shoulder, and smiled sourly: "But what can I do here?"
"I don't need you to do anything, we...we get married."
Wen Xuan's body trembled slightly.
Ye Yinfeng seemed to have finally figured it out, and let go of her excitedly: "Wenxuan, marry me! I want to marry you! No one can stop me!"
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he was competing with a certain force in the darkness.But the earnest words of his mother and his father's persuasion are useless at this moment, the only thing he longs for is to keep the warm body in his arms.
Wen Xuan closed her eyes, two lines of hot tears dripped down her cheeks, she slowly raised her arms, and after a moment of hesitation, she hugged Ye Yinfeng tightly.
(End of this chapter)
The heating was still on in the shopping mall, Ye Yinfeng and Wen Xuan took off their coats, but they still felt hot.Both of them carried several shopping bags in their hands.
Ye Yinfeng looked at his watch, it was getting late, so he said, "Let's find a place to eat."
"Hmm. It would be great if the restaurant could provide air-conditioning." Wen Xuan joked.
"How is this possible!" Ye Yinfeng stretched out his hand, "Give me everything, I'll get it!"
The two were chatting and laughing, Wen Xuan was still holding Ye Yinfeng's arm affectionately, like a perfect couple made in heaven, from time to time there were envious eyes looking at them, Ye Yinfeng noticed it, and his mood gradually improved.
As soon as he entered the hall of Yage, someone recognized Ye Yinfeng and immediately came to say hello: "Isn't this Xiaoye!"
Wen Xuan quickly withdrew her hand from his arm with great interest.
Ye Yinfeng also hurriedly replied: "Hello, Uncle Chen!"
"Is your father in good health recently? Let him come out for tea with his old colleagues when he has time!" The other party looked at Wen Xuan frequently while being polite, "This is..."
Ye Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "My girlfriend, Qiu Wenxuan. Wenxuan, this is Uncle Chen, a colleague who is very close to my dad!"
Wen Xuan greeted each other with a smile.
Uncle Chen teased with a smile: "My girlfriend is so beautiful, your parents must be very happy."
Wen Xuan quickly glanced at Ye Yinfeng. Although he was still smiling, his smile was unavoidably a little vain.
After finally getting rid of Uncle Chen, Ye Yinfeng specially asked for a private room to avoid the embarrassment just now.
While eating the food, Wen Xuan said slowly, "You didn't need to introduce me like that just now."
Ye Yinfeng was stunned again, and then his expression returned to calm: "Sooner or later, you don't have to think too much, just let it take its course."
Wen Xuan didn't refute anymore, and smiled at him.
Within two days, what Ye Yinfeng expected happened.
As soon as he got home that night, he saw his mother sitting in the living room with a happy expression on his face: "Yinfeng, do you have something to hide from me and your father?"
"No!" He pretended to be puzzled, and while lowering his head to change his shoes, he was still a little apprehensive.
"Still said no! Old Chen told us when he came this morning!" Mother Ye said angrily, "You are so serious! Even if you have a girlfriend, don't bring it home to show us!"
"Oh, you guys have known each other for a long time." Ye Yinfeng tried his best to put on a natural smile.
"I know him?" Ye Mu's eyes were bright, she was so happy, "Could it be Xia Xia?"
Ye's mother has always had a good impression of Xia Xia, and hinted several times that Ye Yinfeng would bring her to play at home, so Ye Yinfeng never mentioned Xia Xia's resignation to his family to avoid trouble.At this time, when his mother mentioned Xia Xia's name again, his heart trembled for no reason, and he lowered his head a little irritably: "Of course not! It's... Wen Xuan."
"Who?" Mother Ye didn't hear clearly.
For a moment, Ye Yinfeng wanted to run away suddenly, he could almost guess his mother's next reaction, and that was the most troublesome trouble for him.
But he soon developed contempt for his own cowardice, and his heart suddenly fell. Delay and avoidance are not the answer, and the problems that should be solved will have to be solved sooner or later.
He walked up to his mother, sat down with a smile on his face, and repeated clearly: "Mom, my girlfriend is Wenxuan, Qiu Wenxuan. Don't you guys already know her?"
Mother Ye was stunned: "What are you kidding?"
"I'm not joking, Mom, I'm indeed dating Wen Xuan...it's been a few months."
After Ye Mu understood, her complexion suddenly changed, and her apricot eyebrows stood upright: "Ye Yinfeng, do you know what you are doing?"
This is an expected interrogation, he cannot avoid it, and must face it seriously.
Ye Yinfeng looked at his mother sincerely: "I know. Mom, I like Wenxuan very much, and she treats me the same. Please... help us."
"Bastard!" Mother Ye trembled with anger, "Do you know who Qiu Wenxuan is? She is Xiaoxiang's wife, your sister-in-law!"
Mother Ye's angry yelling startled Father Ye who was reading magazines in the room, he walked out slowly, took off his reading glasses, and frowned at the two of them: "Why are you arguing?"
"Ask your son! What is he doing!" Mother Ye pointed at Ye Yinfeng, "Old man, do you know that he, unexpectedly, got mixed up with Qiu Wenxuan!"
"Mom!" Ye Yinfeng suppressed his dissatisfaction, "Wen Xuan is single now, and I am also single, why can't we be together?"
"You're so lucky to be able to ask!" Mother Ye's eyes burst into flames, "Let's not talk about Xiaoxiang first, Qiu Wenxuan still has a child, how do you ask me and your father to explain to others? You are a good never married Boy, let so many good girls look down on you, and insist on messing with a widow, your father and I will lose all face!"
Ye Yinfeng was also angry: "Wen Xuan has a dead husband and a child, but there is no law that stipulates that I cannot marry such a woman! Mom, is your face or my happiness important?"
Ye Yinfeng seldom gets angry in front of his parents, and this is probably the first time in his adult life, Ye mother was a little confused by a few questions from him, and she froze there for a while.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing!" Ye's father was the peacemaker, and carried Ye's mother into the room, "The child is so old, you still think he is five or six years old, and you have something to say." , What's the use of getting excited!"
"I'm really going to piss me off!" Mother Ye wiped her eyes, feeling infinitely wronged after she got angry.
"Mom!" Ye Yinfeng called to stop his mother.
He felt guilty for his attitude just now, and his tone slowed down a lot, but he felt that he had to emphasize his position: "Emotional matters are about fate, and you used to talk about this. After so many years, I I didn't get married for a long time because I didn't meet the person who was destined, until I met Wenxuan... I won't give up on her."
Mother Ye stomped her feet anxiously again: "Old Ye, do you care about this matter? Your son is in a daze now, and no relatives recognize him!"
"Let's go, let's go in and talk!" Father Ye comforted, coaxing his wife into the room anyway.
Sitting alone in the empty living room, Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt an unprecedented emptiness.All along, he has regarded his home as the most reliable harbor. He never thought that one day, he would declare war on his favorite relatives, and this home turned into a battlefield.
Naturally, Ye Yinfeng couldn't tell Wen Xuan about the embarrassing situation at home. He was still trying to persuade his parents to accept Wen Xuan, although it seemed difficult at the moment.
One afternoon after several days of stalemate with his parents, Ye Yinfeng was in a meeting, and the secretary ran to him out of breath, saying that his father had called, as if there was something urgent.
Ye Yinfeng hurried back to the office, and there was a series of missed calls on the mobile phone he forgot on the table. Father Ye couldn't find him, so he had to call the switchboard of his company, and the receptionist transferred it to his secretary.
On the phone, the father's voice was extremely low: "Yinfeng, you'd better come back right away."
Ye Yinfeng's heart trembled: "What's the matter, Dad?"
"Your mother hasn't eaten well for the past two days, she just kept complaining about stomach pain."
"Are you sent to the hospital?" Ye Yinfeng was also anxious.
"I gave her a few pills, and she is resting in bed. If you have nothing to do, come back and see her." Father Ye paused, his tone slowed down, "Your mother has always loved you so much, and she will not take care of you this time." I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, if you have anything to say, you can talk to her face to face."
Ye Yinfeng's heart softened, and he lowered his eyes and replied, "Understood, Dad! I'll be back now."
When Ye Yinfeng arrived home, his mother was already asleep.
He tiptoed out of his mother's bedroom, while his father was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, beckoning him over.
The Ye family is a loving father and strict mother. Ye Yinfeng's daily life and academic performance have always been taken care of by his mother since he was a child. His father is busy with work all year round and rarely asks questions. Talking heart to heart, the effect is often more effective than the mother's punishment.
"Is there anything urgent in the company?"
"No." Ye Yinfeng sat down beside his father, he knew that his father must have something to tell him.
"Yinfeng, you and Qiu Wenxuan..."
Upon hearing the opening remarks, Ye Yinfeng's nerves immediately tensed up again.
How could Father Ye not understand his thoughts, looked at his grown son, and sighed silently: "You are in your early thirties, and you have been very independent since you were young. Regarding your emotional matters, I don't want to Intervene, and have no right to interfere. What kind of girl you like and who you want to be with is your own business."
"Thank you, Dad, for understanding." Ye Yinfeng was grateful, men were indeed more rational than women.
"However, there are two things I want to remind you." Father Ye changed the subject abruptly, "After all, Qiu Wenxuan was Xiaoxiang's wife, and Xiaoxiang has been away for less than a year, so you are with her...is it appropriate?"
Ye Yinfeng's mother's stern condemnation failed to hit Ye Yinfeng, but it was his father's slow questioning that made him feel ashamed and couldn't help but bow his head.
"Also, how much do you really know about Wen Xuan?"
Ye Yinfeng heard his father's implication, and felt slightly confused and nervous: "...Dad, what do you mean?"
"I'm not familiar with Wenxuan, and I don't know her past experiences." Father Ye said slowly after thinking, "However, there is one thing that impressed me deeply: that was the first time your mother and I met her. On the day Lanxi attended Xiaoxiang's funeral, Wenxuan... looked very strange at that time."
For some reason, when Ye Yinfeng stared at his father's pensive face, he felt chilly as if an invisible hand had grabbed his neck.
He didn't dare to say anything, and listened to his father in silence.
"She looked very quiet, even a little indifferent, as if Xiaoxiang had nothing to do with her. She didn't shed a tear during the whole funeral. Afterwards, your mother whispered to me, saying that Xiaoxiang married this wife. You don’t know how to cry even twice. You know the old customs here, people leave without relatives and cry, they will become lonely ghosts, of course this is a superstition... But Wenxuan’s reaction to Xiaoxiang’s death is somewhat unreasonable.”
After listening to his father's description, Ye Yinfeng's uneasy mood eased, and he leaned back on the sofa, and couldn't help but defend Wenxuan: "Wenxuan's temperament is born like this, and she has eaten a lot before. Bitter, a little... a little cold in dealing with people and things."
Father Ye glanced at him: "Has she talked to you about the past?"
Ye Yinfeng was afraid that his father would dig deeper, so he reluctantly nodded: "I said a little bit."
Father Ye looked at his expression thoughtfully, and after pondering for a moment, he finally didn't ask further: "My attitude has been made clear just now, I will not object to your association, after all, you are an adult. But , can you put this matter on hold for the sake of your mother's health?"
Seeing that Ye Yinfeng was in a dilemma, his father said again: "Your mother has been proud of you all her life. She must be very hard to accept if you suddenly give her such a sudden blow. Besides, it will be good for you to take it easy. You can think about it." It is clear whether you are impulsive towards Wenxuan, or your relationship is so strong that you can stay together for a lifetime."
His father's reasons were reasonable, which made it difficult for Ye Yinfeng to say no. After struggling for a while, he said, "Dad, please give me some time to think about it."
There was a faint smile on the corner of Father Ye's mouth. Based on his understanding of his son, he understood that this answer would ultimately mean that his son would compromise.
In the middle of the night, Ye Yinfeng drove to Shuiyue Bay Pier alone.
The cold night wind blows from the lake, blowing his clothes lightly, but the disturbance in his heart makes him lose the ability to feel the cold. He clenched his hands on the railing, looking at the small island in the middle of the lake in the dim light .
A crescent moon quietly rose to the mid-heaven, and the reflection in the water swayed with the waves from time to time, just like his restless heart at the moment.
He felt that two forces were tearing himself apart. Under the tremendous pressure, he thought of running away again, but he still couldn't find a shelter to hide in.
Thinking about how fearless I was when I was a child, even if Tian Ning was dropped dozens of meters on a sports field that I was not good at, he would still grit his teeth and rush to the finish line.The encouraging cheers from the girls were the most powerful weapon against Tian Ning's ridicule.
At that time, no matter what he did, he was a hero. Even if he failed, his teachers and classmates would still forgive him.Perhaps this is what Tian Ning is most worried about him.
When he is old, his timidity is like a glacier in spring, gradually melting into water, trying to annihilate him.
He raised his head and looked at the cold lonely moon, his father's words were like a dark cloud, quietly covering the top of his heart.
"Xiaoxiang." He silently called out to the sky, since he fell in love with Wenxuan, this was a name he always wanted to avoid.
"Have you ever loved Wen Xuan?" He asked confusedly under the silver moonlight, "If you once loved her deeply, you would definitely not prevent her from regaining happiness, would you?"
The moon was shining brightly, but no one answered.
Ye Yinfeng turned around, the lights of the tea house in the distance brought wisps of orange light, and the shadows of the whirling trees swayed slightly in the night wind, he walked slowly towards the bright warmth, but his heart was still foggy Misty.
When I got home, the lights were still on in my parents' bedroom.
Ye Yinfeng hesitated outside the door for a few seconds, and finally reached out to knock on the door.The bedroom door was quickly opened, and my father stood inside the door, looking at him peacefully.
"Dad, I'm back."
The father nodded, realizing from his son's eyes that he had something to say, and stepped aside to let him in.
Mother Ye was sitting on the head of the bed, reading the newspaper with reading glasses on, turning a deaf ear to the sound of her son entering the door.
Ye Yinfeng walked to the bed and asked in a low voice: "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Thanks to you, I can't die." Mother was still angry.
"Mom, I've thought about it, I... I'll listen to you," Ye Yinfeng lowered his eyes to hide the pain in his heart, "Wen Xuan and I... I plan to... separate."
Mother Ye's gaze paused on a line of text, and after a while, she put down the newspaper and stared at her son for a long time.No matter how strict a mother is, her heart will inevitably soften in the face of such an obedient son.
She patted the edge of the bed, and her tone returned to the softness of the past: "Come, sit down and talk."
Ye Yinfeng sat down as he said.
"Yinfeng, I know you resent me in your heart. I want you to be happy too, but this is a matter of your life after all, and I can't watch you regret it in the future."
"mom……"
"No, listen to what Mom has to say. Do you think Mom is against you and Wenxuan for the sake of her own face? You don't know me too well."
Ye Yinfeng didn't argue, just listened silently.
"Your father and I are both so old, face is not as important as you think. But doesn't mother know you yet? You have been competitive since you were young, and you hope to be the best no matter what you do. Not bad , Wenxuan is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she will feel normal after a long time. Will you be able to stand her two previous marriages? Also, can you treat Xiaodong as your own child without any pimples? ?”
Ye Yinfeng looked at his mother in shock, as if returning to his dazed childhood.He really didn't think much about these issues that actually scared him, maybe he didn't dare to think about them.
"You young people, you value love more than anything else. I can understand this, but love is also about the foundation. It doesn't mean that you have to be a good match. That's all the old emperor's calendar. What I mean by the foundation is that you two have some similarities in common. Point, there is something to talk about. Ask yourself, is there any difference between you and Wen Xuan? The gap between the two of you is too far in terms of experience and knowledge."
Ye Yinfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Mom is someone who has experienced it, so I might as well tell you the truth. Love will degenerate or even disappear one day. At that time, what are you going to do to Wen Xuan? If you are looking for someone similar to you, one day, love will not be there." Yes, but you still have friendship and family affection, and these feelings are enough to keep you together for a lifetime."
"Mom, I..."
"Yinfeng, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, I know you are a person who cares about face. Whoever you choose will live with that person for the rest of your life. Even if you regret it in the future, you will hold back. But do you think it's worth it? Instead of going there , why not let me do this villain today."
Ye's mother burst into tears when she mentioned the excitement, Ye Yinfeng hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Mom, from what you said, haven't I already... agreed to break up?"
"I'm so angry!" Mother Ye sighed, "This Qiu Wenxuan, she must have seen your talent..."
"Mom—" Ye Yinfeng frowned, "Wen Xuan is not that kind of person."
Ye's mother also knew how to accept as soon as she was good, and seeing her son's displeased expression, she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, since it's all decided, we won't mention this matter again in the future."
Only then did Ye Yinfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
The father walked over with a smile: "It's good for the mother and son to talk about it, Yinfeng, in short, your mother has no other intentions, but hopes that everything will be fine for you."
Walking out of his parents' room, Ye Yinfeng's mood was so complicated that he couldn't describe it, there was pain, loss, guilt, and a sense of relief that he didn't want to admit.
No matter how strong a person is, when faced with trouble, he will have an instinct to avoid it.However, whether you can really escape, you can only know if you go on.
For several days, there was no news from Ye Yinfeng, and Wen Xuan had a premonition that something must have happened.Picked up the phone several times and put it down again.She has long been used to being passive when it comes to dealing with men.
But this time is different, because of caring, every second of suspicion has become the most unbearable torment.
At the end of the day, she had to let go of her reserve and dialed Ye Yinfeng's number on her mobile phone. As she dialed, a sense of foreboding similar to sadness rose in her heart, and she knew that all her premonitions were so accurate.
It took a long time for the bell to ring, and Ye Yinfeng's deep voice came into her ears from the receiver: "Wen Xuan?"
"It's me." Wen Xuan tried to sound cheerful and natural, "Are you busy these two days?"
"Well, I'm busy with Jiang Run's case, so I didn't contact you."
There was no abnormality in Ye Yinfeng's calm tone, Wen Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, laughing secretly at her nervousness.
"Then, come over for dinner tonight. I'll make two dishes that you like. No matter how busy you are, you have to have dinner."
"I'm sorry, I... I'm afraid I don't have time."
Hearing his preoccupied tone, the doubts that had just been suppressed suddenly raised their heads again. Wen Xuan was a little dazed for a while, before she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, then come back after you finish your work."
Just as she was about to hang up, Ye Yinfeng suddenly stopped her again: "Wen Xuan!"
"Ok?"
"Let's... separate for a while."
Ye Yinfeng finally said this, the reason he didn't contact Wen Xuan these two days was because he didn't know how to talk to her.
Wen Xuan's chest was suffocated, she closed her eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds, her face was pale and cold, but fortunately Ye Yinfeng couldn't see it.She tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, and asked directly: "Does your mother disagree?"
"...Well." Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt sad when he was pointed out by a word, "I mean...to be separated for a while. My mother...she has a hard time accepting...you have to give her time."
Wen Xuan suddenly lowered her head, swallowed the choked sobs welling up in her throat, and smiled sadly: "It's okay, it's fine as you say."
"I'm sorry, Wenxuan... am I useless?"
"Don't say that about yourself." Wen Xuan tried to adjust her breathing. She was not very surprised by the expected result. Although the pain in her heart was so strong, she had to cover it up lightly. She was not used to showing it when she was abandoned. Showing weakness, "Then, let's do this first, I wish you win Jiang Run's project."
"Thank you, and you too... Take care."
Wen Xuan laughed until the last second, until the busy tone came from the receiver, and the smile on her face disappeared as if blown away by a strong wind.
The phone slipped from the palm of her hand to her lap, she didn't notice it, but felt a chill rushing up from the bottom of her heart.
There is never a lack of women around Ye Yinfeng.
He has been able to receive love letters from girls since he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and he has received countless confessions, including written and oral, during his graduation from university.
Gradually, he basically just needs to glance at a girl's eyes to tell if she has a crush on him, even though most of the time he chooses to play dumb.
He has had three emotional experiences, two at school and one after work.Three times, his girlfriend took the initiative to find him, and all three times, without exception, the other party dumped him. The reasons were different, but he summed it up.
Every time a relationship ends, he feels a sense of relief—he is so tightly surrounded by girls, it is rare to have room to breathe, and he feels that every pore in his body is extremely comfortable.
Later, he became more cautious when a girl showed affection to him. Although the taste of being in love is wonderful, he really doesn't like the feeling of being tied up all the time.
But the falling in love and breaking up with Wenxuan were different from any previous ones.
This time, it was he who took the initiative to confess to the other party - although he had already noticed Wen Xuan's obvious affection for him, in the end, it was he who took the initiative to break up.
Love in the world is nothing more than this in the end, love, break up, nothing unusual.But for Ye Yinfeng, perhaps it was because of that little difference from the past that he not only didn't feel relieved after breaking up, but instead felt depressed because of guilt.
Of course, in the first few days of the breakup, Ye Yinfeng also felt the pleasure of relief, but this pleasure was not because he could finally get rid of his girlfriend's endless entanglement and all kinds of disturbing demands, but—he Finally, I don't have to face all kinds of questioning and strange looks because of Wen Xuan's identity.
However, it didn't take long for him to relax, and the bits and pieces of being with Wen Xuan kept reappearing in his mind, and the vows he had promised to eachother had not been realized before they could be counted.He was a man of promise, and he was sincere when he said those words, thinking that he was indeed capable of giving Wen Xuan a bright future.
The promises made in the past were easily shattered in front of the affection of the parents.
However, the opposition from his parents was not so intense that everything would be destroyed. Ye Yinfeng also realized that his compromise contained too many complicated elements that he couldn't even explain clearly, so he felt even more guilty towards Wenxuan.
Wen Xuan did not swear by his previous girlfriends to break up, but then she kept calling and texting him, and after a while, she disappeared completely.
She was as quiet as a cloud, drifting through his world without a sound, without complaints, and seemed to have no nostalgia.
After a week of restlessness, Ye Yinfeng couldn't hold back, and dialed Wen Xuan's cell phone number one afternoon.
Her cell phone is turned off.
If she answered the phone and the two chatted lightly without seeing each other, Ye Yinfeng might feel better.
Is Wenxuan playing with herself?Or is she determined to retreat from her life entirely?
Distraught, he threw his phone on the table, his mind was gradually filled with all kinds of ominous guesses, he couldn't hold back anymore, he simply put down his work and drove to Wenxuan's shop.
To his surprise, the shop was not open, the shutter door was closed, and a page of paper was pasted on it.Ye Yinfeng leaned forward to read it carefully, and it turned out to be the notice of the transfer of Zhang's shop.
He felt as if he had been punched violently, and after taking a breath, he turned around and ran back to the car, frantically rushing to Wenxuan's house.
Regret swallowed his heart in an instant.He should have expected this result, it's not that he doesn't understand Wen Xuan's temper, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she won't cry when things happen, but she also has self-esteem and assertiveness.
Ye Yinfeng slammed on the gas pedal while praying that Wenxuan hadn't left Sanjiang.
A crazy thought suddenly came to his mind: as long as she is still there, as long as he can catch up in time, this time, he must keep her.
At this moment, all he could think about was Wen Xuan's good, even a slight smile to himself was enough to make him fascinated.
Ye Yinfeng suddenly realized that he loved Wen Xuan so deeply, but was so stupid that he let her go and pushed her away.
He had the electronic key card of Wenxuan's house. After parking the car, he swiped the card all the way in. He couldn't wait for the elevator. He ran to the eighth floor in one breath, and soon stood in front of Wenxuan's house.
But he didn't dare to take out the key to open the lock, lest he would see cold eyes after opening the door.
He slammed on the door with a terrifying sound: "Wen Xuan, open the door! Wen Xuan, are you there?" He shouted almost in despair, as if the world had come to an end.
In fact, he didn't wait too long, and the door was opened. Wen Xuan was slightly surprised, and stood in the door in a daze.
Ye Yinfeng was panting from running, and he was still gasping for breath at this moment. He stared at Wen Xuan, in a trance, as if in a dream, he stepped forward and hugged her: "Wen Xuan, so you didn't leave..."
Wen Xuan was in his arms, but a little stiff, she let him hold her.
Ye Yinfeng didn't wait for the expected enthusiastic response, hugged her for a while, and then let go of her hand embarrassingly.
Wen Xuan's expression quickly returned to its usual calmness, and she stepped aside: "Come in and talk."
Ye Yinfeng was affected by her cold voice, his intense emotions gradually calmed down, and he didn't dare to be abrupt in front of her again.
"I couldn't get through to your mobile phone, so I went to your store again and saw the transfer notice..." He stared at her back and murmured to explain.
The house was tidied up very cleanly. Wen Xuan walked into the bedroom, Ye Yinfeng followed, and what appeared in front of her was a neatly cleaned bed frame. Two suitcases were spread out on both sides of the bed. Wen Xuan was unpacking the wardrobe. The clothes inside are stacked one by one.
"Yes, I'm planning to transfer the shop out." Wen Xuan buried her head in folding her clothes, her long hair loosened to hide her expression, "Xiaodong and I are leaving here."
Ye Yinfeng's hands clenched into balls involuntarily, and he guessed it.
"Where are you... planning to go?"
"Go back to Lanxi." Wen Xuan still did not raise her head, and Ye Yinfeng's conscience was disturbed by the calmness in her tone, "I've figured it out, I'm really not suitable for you, your mother is right, you should find It's better to have a better girl to start a family, before... I was too greedy."
She finally straightened up, facing Ye Yinfeng, with a heart-breaking smile on her cheeks: "Actually, I shouldn't have come to Sanjiang in the first place, I will only cause trouble for you here."
Ye Yinfeng's throat throbbed, and he wanted to say something, but something seemed to block his throat.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Wen Xuan opened the bedside table, took out a document and handed it to him, "I wanted to send it to you by courier when I left, but now that you're here, I'll save one thing."
Ye Yinfeng didn't answer, and stared at her: "What is it?"
"All my shares in Maxim will be donated to you." Wen Xuan shrugged easily, "But then again, these don't belong to me in the first place."
Ye Yinfeng's brows trembled, he didn't expect Wen Xuan to be so free and easy.
"As for this house," Wen Xuan looked around, full of nostalgia and reluctance, "Since it's my name, I won't refund it to you, even though you actually earned the money to buy it."
"I have entrusted an intermediary to help me put it up for sale." She smiled apologetically at him, "Xiaodong and I need money."
Ye Yinfeng shook his head slowly, at first slightly, but later became more and more violent: "No, you can't do that!"
The guilt and reluctance he had buried in his heart for a long time were stirred up by Wen Xuan's departure at this moment, and an unprecedented arbitrariness gripped him tightly.
Ye Yinfeng took a step forward, and suddenly pulled Wen Xuan into his arms, hugging her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
"Qiu Wenxuan! You can't just leave like this, I won't let you go!"
Wen Xuan let him hug her stiffly, resting her chin on his shoulder, and smiled sourly: "But what can I do here?"
"I don't need you to do anything, we...we get married."
Wen Xuan's body trembled slightly.
Ye Yinfeng seemed to have finally figured it out, and let go of her excitedly: "Wenxuan, marry me! I want to marry you! No one can stop me!"
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he was competing with a certain force in the darkness.But the earnest words of his mother and his father's persuasion are useless at this moment, the only thing he longs for is to keep the warm body in his arms.
Wen Xuan closed her eyes, two lines of hot tears dripped down her cheeks, she slowly raised her arms, and after a moment of hesitation, she hugged Ye Yinfeng tightly.
