Shengxia, Co Back To
Yin Tangyi tried to regain his composure. Finally, just as he was feeling slightly better and was about to reignite the car engine, he noticed the person sitting by the window in the coffee shop.
That familiar profile belonged to the person he missed terribly.
Li Shengxia? Why was she here?
Initially, he thought he could easily accept her betrayal but he could not be more wrong!
He found it near impossible to peel his eyes away from the woman.
The man was lost within himself for a brief mont before leaving the car and heading into the coffee shop eventually.
One step, two steps. A strange emotion materialized in his heart as he walked closer toward her.
It was as if she was the missing piece he had been chasing after. He had been wasting his days away since separated from her.
However, upon seeing the woman again, he instantly realized that he had not been lost all this while. He was just unsure where to go, without her there to guide him.
Yin Tangyi pushed the door open and headed toward Li Shengxia.
The latter had her back against the glass door thus she did not notice the man’s arrival.
He was thinking about how to feign a coincidence.
Finally, he stopped right behind her.
The man tried his best to speak nonchalantly as if this was a chance encounter. “Li Shengxia? I didn’t expect to see you here.”
The woman tensed up, before slowly turning her face sideways to the source of the voice.
He walked around the table in pretended casualness. “Is sothing wrong?”
It was not easy to keep cool in his voice cool and calm.
She quickly shook her head.
The woman gathered the docunts into her arms and rose to her full height. “No, but I’ll take my leave now to sort out sothing else. Enjoy.”
“Where are you going? I can give you a lift,” he offered right away.
“It’s okay.”
“Let’s go.” He held out his hand instinctively to grab her wrist but the latter shied away!
He glanced at the woman, surprised. Was she disgusted by his hand too? Has their relationship reversed to re strangers again?
“Sorry, I forgot that you’re a married woman now.” He replied in a mocking tone as if laughing at himself.
Her face seed to have frozen for a split second.
For reasons unknown to herself, she felt sohow uncomfortable at the man’s touch just now.
As if being too close with him was a betrayal to Mo Nianchen. This was why she shied away out of reflex.
Had she lost her mind? Anyway, she was technically Mo Nianchen’s wife now, even if it was only a contracted marriage… That must be the reason.
However, she felt her heart skip a beat when he called her a married woman.
“Yes.” She nodded. “So you don’t have to give a lift.”
Instead of disagreeing, she turned to leave as if could not bear to be in his presence for another second.
She had this power of splitting his heart within seconds.
“What if I insist?” he said.
“We are… Not heading in the sa direction.”
“Must you do this to ? Please, give a few minutes of your ti? I promise I’ll leave once I say what I need to say.”
“…” That caught her by surprise. “Yi– Young Master Yin, I…”
She suddenly realized it would no longer be appropriate to call the man by his na, given their current relationship.
How different were they from other strangers now?
Young Master Yin?
He twitched his brows into a frown. “Don’t call that, Shengxia. Let’s go, I have sothing to tell you.”
Trying to suppress the disappointnt that was slowly filtering through his body, he turned around and walked toward the door.
The woman followed.
She felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the car as she used to be its frequent passenger.
The man opened the door to the passenger seat for her. After a few seconds of consideration, she closed the door and went for the back seat instead.
She used to sit on the front passenger seat all the ti, even if he constantly tried to convince her that the seat behind the driver seat was the safest. It had beco so sort of a habit.
Could an old habit change in just a few months?
“My front passenger seat is still reserved for you,” he said, his fingers clasped around the steering wheel.
Startled, she replied, “I’m sorry but I’ve saved my left side for another person.”
It used to belong to Yin Tangyi.
“The crown prince?”
“Yes.”
“How long have you known each other?”
“Very long.”
“He’s the person that made you cry your eyes out in the plane?”
“Yes.”
It was him?! However, how could a person from five years ago suddenly co invading into her personal life again? This was unfair! Too unfair for him!
“Shengxia, you’re drunk.” The indifference was audible in his voice. He did not want to hear more of that.
She refused to play along. “How could I be? I drank coffee.”
The woman was exposing his denial of reality!
He was too stubborn to give in!
“What if I want you to co back to ? I don’t like Wen Ting’er. The engagent was only an act to make you jealous…”
His explanation saddened her.
Of course she knew that he only had eyes for her. However, that love weighed a heavy burden on her shoulders. She did not deserve a pure and innocent love such as the one he gave her.
At the thought of this, she forced herself to sound harsher. “It didn’t work and you should know that by now. Don’t you?”
“No, I don’t believe you can have a change of heart so quickly. You must be lying to yourself, right? Why let hold your hand if you never liked ? Why elope with ? Why…”
“Why would I take the money from your mother if I truly liked you? Why would I marry soone else? Wake up to the reality, Yi. We can never go back to where we used to be. Besides… I don’t want to.
Each of those words crushed his hope and expectation.
“No!
“That’s not true!
“The reason you gave up on us and took her money was because you couldn’t bear seeing a young master like depending on soone else for a living. It’s because your dad’s company went bankrupt and left behind a total ss for you…
“Instead of trusting you when you needed the most, I did the stupidest thing in the world!
“That’s why you blad and hated . That’s why you married another man! Is that right? I surrender! Shengxia, co back to . I’ll compensate a hundred fold for my past mistakes!”
