Yue Yirou: "..."
Does he even know what he's saying?
Does he even realize the consequences of saying those words?
Tomorrow, or perhaps not even tomorrow, in the afternoon, news about him and her will flood the media.
"Oh my god, could this young lady be Mr. Yan's..."
"No, it's me and him..."
"She is the woman I, Yan Ye, love the most."
However, before Yan Ye could finish speaking, Yue Yirou suddenly stood up and rushed into the crowd.
She didn't want to be stared at like an animal in a zoo, and she didn't want to be humiliated by Yan Ye in front of everyone.
He would definitely say that she was nothing more than a plaything for his momentary pleasure.
"With gentleness..."
Yan Ye was taken aback by Yue Yirou's sudden action. He immediately stood up and chased after her.
There was an uproar all around!
The beach was already packed with people, and Yue Yirou's figure disappeared into the bustling crowd in an instant.
She disappeared; she vanished right before his eyes.
Yan Ye's heart sank, a feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
After looking around, Yan Ye still couldn't see that familiar figure, so he immediately took out his phone and called Xue Tao.
After making the call to Xue Tao, Yan Ye began using his phone to track Yue Yirou's phone location. The phone he had customized for Yue Yirou was equipped with a location tracking system, allowing the two phones to track each other's locations.
However, his tracking revealed that her phone was in the Starry Night Pavilion.
She didn't bring her phone with her.
Yan Ye's heart was filled with even more panic and unease.
He suddenly felt a pang of regret; perhaps he shouldn't have been in such a hurry.
Yue Yirou kept running through the crowd, not knowing how long she ran or where she was, until she was too tired to run anymore and then she stopped.
Her sunglasses fell off while she was running, and her flushed face was covered in sweat.
Bent over, supporting himself on his knees, panting heavily, he straightened up after a while, looked up, and found himself standing under the eaves of a house that resembled an African mud house.
The location is a bit remote, and there aren't many tourists around.
Yue Yirou opened her handbag, took out a tissue, and wiped the sweat from her face while wondering whether she should take this opportunity to escape Yan Ye's clutches.
Can she escape?
Even if she manages to escape, will Yan Ye hold Tingyun responsible?
She wanted to escape, just like she had wanted to die before, but when she thought of Lu Tingyun, she lost her courage.
Tingyun, the man she loves, she is willing to sacrifice everything to ensure his lifelong happiness and well-being.
When will Tingyun be able to see him again?
Whether it was divine intervention or something else, just as she was thinking of Lu Tingyun, he appeared.
"Tingyun?"
Yue Yirou stared in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared before her, her heart pounding with excitement.
She was both surprised and delighted to see him, but she didn't see that expression on his face.
His expression was complicated, and there was even a hint of resentment in his eyes.
How could this be?
Was he unhappy to see her?
Or perhaps their meeting wasn't a coincidence.
Lu Tingyun had already walked up to her, and the two were only a few steps apart, within reach.
Yue Yirou wanted to throw herself into his arms, but seeing his expression, she hesitated.
She stood there staring at him, puzzled, and asked, "Tingyun, how... how did you get here?"
Lu Tingyun stared at her, not answering her question, but asking in anguish, "Why? Yi Rou, why didn't you give those medicines to Yan Ye, and instead went out with him?"
No wonder he looked so unhappy; it turns out it was because of these things.
She explained, "Tingyun, Yan Ye has given up on acquiring Wanting. He won't touch Wanting anymore, nor will he hurt you. So I..."
"So you willingly stayed by his side?" Lu Tingyun's eyes were filled with deep pain.
"I didn't..." Yue Yirou felt very wronged. How could she have willingly stayed by Yan Ye's side?
She did it all for him.
"Yi Rou, do you know how much I've been suffering these past few days? I can't eat or sleep. Just thinking about Yan Ye taking you makes me feel like I'm living a life worse than death. Yi Rou, how much longer are you going to stay by his side? Do you know how much pain I'm in?"
Lu Tingyun clutched her chest, her face contorted in pain.
“Tingyun…” Yue Yirou’s eyes reddened.
She knew that she wasn't the only one suffering during this time; Tingyun was enduring just as much torment as she was.
After all, what man would feel good if the woman he loves was taken by someone else?
“Tingyun, I really didn’t stay by Yan Ye’s side willingly. You have to believe me, I didn’t stay by his side willingly.”
Even though she knew it was impossible for them to be together, she still didn't want Lu Tingyun to misunderstand her.
She wanted him to know that she still loved him, hoping that this would alleviate some of the pain in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingyun's expression softened. He reached out and gently stroked Yue Yirou's face: "Yirou, I'm sorry. I said those things to you just now because I was so afraid of losing you. I believe you still love me, and I believe you are not the kind of woman who is materialistic and fickle."
“Tingyun…” Yue Yirou’s tears welled up uncontrollably.
Lu Tingyun gently wiped away her tears: "I know you are kind-hearted and can't bear to do things that harm others. But, Yi Rou, have you thought about it? If you don't do that, you will suffer from that bastard's bullying for the rest of your life."
"Tingyun, as long as you're alright, I'm willing to suffer his bullying for the rest of my life. I just want you to be alright."
"All right?" Lu Tingyun smiled bitterly. "Silly Yirou, look at me, how am I alright? I'm living a life worse than death, Yirou. Or do you want to see me living like this, worse than death?"
"No, no, Tingyun, I want you to be happy, I want you to be blessed." Yue Yirou gazed at Lu Tingyun with tears in her eyes. "Forget me, Tingyun, please forget me, okay? That way you won't feel pain anymore."
"Heh." Lu Tingyun chuckled bitterly as he lowered his hand from Yue Yirou's face, a flicker of pain in his eyes. "Yirou, do you... do you think forgetting someone is an easy thing? You want me to forget you, but what about you? Can you forget me?"
Yue Yirou remained silent.
Yes, I can't forget it.
Falling in love with someone can happen in a second, but forgetting someone you once loved can take a lifetime.
But what other way is there to stop his pain?
"Yi Rou, now there are only two paths before us. One, you can no longer be soft-hearted towards Yan Ye. Two, you come with me now, and we will wander the world together and become an immortal couple living in anonymity."
Lu Tingyun gently stroked Yue Yirou's face again, wiping away the sweat-dampened strands of hair from her forehead with extreme tenderness.
