NOVEL NEXT Chapter 58
There’s No Point Waiting Because I’ll Not Return
Yin Tangyi’s every word shot through Li Shengxia’s heart like bullets.
The two hurt each other terribly but that was in the past.
She could not give him anything apart from being a burden. She could not give him her heart nor her body.
That would be unfair to him.
“I’m sorry,” she said, “That’s impossible. I’m getting out now. Bye.”
“No…” He grabbed her arm but she flung it away for the second time of the day!
What a cruel and heartless woman!
Once again, disregarding her resistance, he grabbed her wrist and held her gaze with quiet intensity.
Her struggle was to no avail. She could feel the burning heat from his penetrating eyes.
The temperature in the car became warmer all of a sudden. It was so uncomfortable that she truly wished to leave.
He looked at her with misery in his eyes.
What more could he say? He only agreed to the engagement with Wen Ting’er because Li Shengxia disliked the woman. He thought doing that would elicit jealousy!
What did she do in response? Crush his act of defense by marrying someone else!
Yin Tangyi knew she disliked him seeing as she was uncomfortable with just holding hands. He spent so much effort into cultivating the relationship but all he received in return was her cruel betrayal!
He did not complain once about the cold treatment and obstacles met when they eloped together.
The man even worked as a waiter because his mother cut off all the sources of his income as well as all his family connections!
However, he refused to compromise, taking up several physically demanding jobs a day without a word of complaint.
What did she do on the other hand? Telling him that she chose money over him!
He agreed to the engagement out of rage simply as an act of defiance to make her jealous, hoping she would come to beg him for forgiveness. In the end, he ended up with nothing yet she was living a great life!
Initially, he thought losing Li Shengxia would not affect him much since he could be with anyone else.
He could not do it, however!
What infuriated him the most was it seemed impossible for him to forget the woman despite how she stampeded over his dignity!
Yet all he could think of was her!
This woman was crying her eyes out on the plane on their first encounter!
Who claimed she disliked being intimate with the opposite sex!
Making him give up everything he owned to accompany and indulge her with affection!
Ironically, she was also the same woman who forgot about her principles when in another man’s arms!
He learned the hard way that he could not forget her despite the merciless breakup. This explained why he forsook everything to go looking for her again…
Yin Tangyi’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “Shengxia, I know I was at fault! I shouldn’t have thought that of you!
“I shouldn’t have believed the rumors of you being a gold-digger without questioning it. I shouldn’t have hurt you by agreeing to be engaged to someone else… I know I’ve made many mistakes but…
“I’m losing my mind when I picture you in someone else’s arms intimately! Imagining you being with another man freaks me out!
“My mind tells me I shouldn’t approach you or miss you but my heart reminds me over and over again that I still love you, forever and always!
“Li Shengxia, why didn’t you come back to me? Is your heart made of steel?
“I’ve always thought that no one could soften that stubborn heart of yours, that I should probably be the special exception albeit just having held your hands before. I thought I could finally break through your defense one day but you… You simply did those things with someone else…”
It took him several years of effort to finally be able to hold her hands. In spite of that, Mo Nianchen easily hugged her, kissed her, and married her within a few days…
The jealousy shattered his heart and he could not pretend to be unperturbed! It dawned upon him that he was completely defeated. He was not as heartless as her! His love for the woman was so deeply rooted within him that he could not pull out from the mess.
“What can I do to get you back?”
Li Shengxia was getting emotional after listening to the man. Despite that, she inhaled sharply and forced herself to say indifferently, “I’ll never come back to you!”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll wait,” he replied stubbornly.
“There’s no point waiting because I won’t return.”
“It’s okay. I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes. I’ll wait for you even if you’re not coming back.”
“Yin Tangyi!”
The man chose to ignore her and pulled something out of his pocket instead. “This is the obsidian necklace I bought from the charity auction the other day. I think it really suits you, please accept it.” He placed the necklace into her palm.
The charity auction? That necklace he tried so hard to acquire was meant for her?
Back at the auction, she thought he was really eager to acquire the necklace thus she made Mo Nianchen give up bidding for it as an appreciation for the care he showed her in the past. Little did she expect that he bought it just for her…
Her eyebrows twitched into a frown. Despite the pain, she struggled free from his grip.
He released his hand for fear of hurting her.
She returned the necklace. “No, thank you. I don’t need it.”
“Li Shengxia, what more do you want me to do?! Can’t you just take it? Treat it as my token of apology for the mistakes I made in the past. Will you?”
“I accept your apology but I cannot accept your expensive necklace. Young Master Yin, please stop doing this. Move on, plenty of good girls are waiting for you.”
“But I only want you!”
But I only want you!
But I only want you!
These five words pierced through her heart like five deadly, poisonous needles, causing her immense pain.
He shouted at the woman when the scene of their breakup suddenly flashed across his mind. “Why? Is it because I’m worth less than money? How much do you want? How much do you need to return to my side? Will you come back to me if I’m wealthier than he is?”
“Young Master Yin, I’ll not return no matter how much money you have. Please don’t forget how we broke up then! You ended this mistake of a relationship by throwing the breakup fee right in my face! Didn’t you already know that?”
The man froze.
Mistake? What they had was not love but a mistake?
That was the only time he had touched her face, back when he gave her a slap!
Simultaneously, Li Shengxia stormed off in rage with the documents in her arms.
Whereas Yin Tangyi was left behind motionless as he zoned out into the distance.
