Leng Yan’s entire mind and body shuddered suddenly, and it took him two seconds to realize what she was saying.
"You want a divorce?" He felt inexplicably flustered, his obsidian eyes locked tightly on hers, turning her head to face him: "Wen Nuan, don’t you like me?"
He could feel it, he liked her. And in fact, which woman dating him didn’t like him? Which one didn’t cry like a rain-soaked doll, even after he gave them a large sum of money when breaking up?
Of course, except for Ji Wei. She left so gracefully...
Is there another one now?
"It’s more than just liking, Leng Yan, I love you."
Wen Nuan looked up at him, then lowered her head again.
It was the first time she had expressed her true feelings in front of him.
Leng Yan squeezed the Crystal Bear in his hand.
"You love me and still want a divorce?" He looked at her for a long time before slowly speaking.
This word, three years ago he heard it plenty. Over these three years, he’s heard it plenty too. There were always those coquettish voices that would use various tones to say, Yan, I love you. Each time he heard it, it felt so ironic.
Before Ji Wei, he had never loved a woman. After Ji Wei, he no longer believed in love. But at this moment, facing her eyes tinged with a light sadness, his tone was calm, yet his heart was somewhat in disorder.
Turns out, he still longed for this word. Only in front of those women who loved money more than him, he couldn’t feel the true meaning of this word. Now, hearing it from her, a subtle tremor unexpectedly stirred in his heart.
The tremor made his heart panic...
"She still loves you, if you don’t love her, maybe I still have hope. But, if you both love each other, why should I stubbornly cling to a man who belongs to someone else?"
Wen Nuan turned her head away, not daring to look into Leng Yan’s eyes, those eyes etched in her memory for so many years, loved for so many years. She was afraid that by looking at him, her resolve to divorce would not be firm.
"Marriage is for two people, if there are three, it’s too crowded."
Wen Nuan gave a bitter smile, gently rubbed her twisted ankle, fortunately it wasn’t badly sprained and didn’t hurt much now. Fortunately, she didn’t love too deeply, so leaving wouldn’t be too painful.
Princess Diana said, her marriage was too crowded with three people, so she left.
At this moment, she deeply understood this feeling.
"She still loves me? Haha, did she say that? And you believe it?"
Leng Yan gave a cold snort, suddenly tossing his hand in the air, Wen Nuan followed his gaze as a brilliant blue arc flew out from there, landing on the lake surface, causing a few splashes of water before settling into silence.
"We can never go back to how it was."
His voice was light and faint, as it entered her ears, Wen Nuan’s heart gradually returned to calm.
He was telling her he no longer loved Ji Wei.
She didn’t know if she could muster the courage to ask such a question in the future, so she might as well ask it tonight. After all, she had already asked so much, another question wouldn’t matter.
"Will you fall in love with me?" Facing his deep, dark eyes, she spoke with a smile: "If I stayed with the Leng Family, would you fall in love with me?"
She was smiling on the outside, but her heart was uneasy.
If not, she still wanted to leave. Loving was too tiring, she wanted to escape. If there was hope, she would wait. If not, it would be better to leave. She was only twenty, in the bloom of youth, she was unwilling to stay by the side of a man who would never possibly love her.
Leave, and then try to forget him.
While there’s still time, use one year, two years, three years...
