Chapter 312: Chapter 312 I thought you didn’t care about me at all Chapter 312: Chapter 312 I thought you didn’t care about me at all “Don’t you want to marry the real daughter of the Ye Family? Only the true daughter of the Ye Family can fulfill the role of a marriage alliance and give you support. I can’t help you with anything.”
Sheng Tingyuan’s face soured, “Ye Chuyi, in your eyes, am I someone who only cares about benefits? To discard you once I realize you’re useless, and marry someone useful to help grow my group?”
Seeing him angry, Ye Chuyi quickly said, “No, that’s not what I mean. I think marriage alliances among wealthy families are serious matters. There are too many interests involved, and I don’t want you to jeopardize your career and the family’s development by marrying an imposter.”
“Even without an alliance with the Ye Family, Shengling Group will still be the number one multinational group! I married you not to form an alliance with the Ye Family, but because I wanted to fulfill my mother’s wish. She chose my bride!”
Ye Chuyi was speechless.
How could she have forgotten that Sheng Tingyuan came to her in a hurry due to his mother’s critical illness and forced her into marriage.
Sheng Tingyuan walked towards the door with a cold face.
Ye Chuyi opened her mouth wanting to call him, but unsure what else she could say, she could only watch as he left in anger.
The door closed, his tall figure disappeared, and the room fell silent.
But Ye Chuyi’s heart wasn’t the slightest bit at ease; his displeasure made her unable to feel happy either.
She had intended to have a proper talk with him, but for some reason, they had fallen out once again.
She stood on the balcony, watching as Sheng Tingyuan left the apartment, sat in his car, and stayed a long time without leaving, not even starting the vehicle.
Ye Chuyi felt conflicted. Wasn’t he going home? Wasn’t he going to sleep?
He didn’t leave, and she didn’t move, just standing on the balcony watching his car.
Who knows how much time passed before he opened his car door, looked up, and then re-entered the apartment.
Moments later, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Chuyi walked over and opened it, “You…”
Before she could finish a word, Sheng Tingyuan entered, took her into his arms, and hugged her tight.
Ye Chuyi stiffened.
She hadn’t expected him to hug her, especially after seeing how angry he seemed earlier, as if he no longer wanted anything to do with her.
After being rigid for quite a while, she finally spoke, “Sheng Tingyuan, the door isn’t closed.”
Sheng Tingyuan closed the door with the back of his hand, then pushed her against it, his voice low, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep, standing on the balcony all this time? Acting like a door deity?”
Ye Chuyi’s voice was even softer, “Why didn’t you go home? I just wanted to see when you would leave.”
“I thought you didn’t care about me at all.”
A jolt struck Ye Chuyi’s heart.
It was impossible for her not to care about him at all; his mood could even sway her own emotions.
This was a situation she had never experienced before, even after trying hard to restrain herself and maintain a distance from him.
“Sheng Tingyuan.”
“Hmm?”
“Aren’t you angry anymore?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know. I lied to you about the marriage, I told such a big lie, you couldn’t possibly not be angry.”
“I’m not angry about that.”
Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but look up from his embrace, staring at him blankly, “Not about that? Then what is it?”
Sheng Tingyuan caressed her face, “Because you wanted to leave me, wanted me to marry someone else. From now on, never speak of such things again.”
Ye Chuyi looked at him as her heart began to beat fiercely again.
She wanted to press her hand against her chest to calm the intense pounding, but as she lifted her hand, Sheng Tingyuan grasped it.
Holding her hand, he placed it over his heart, “I don’t care about your identity, nor do I need you to be a heiress to form a marriage alliance with me. I, Sheng Tingyuan, don’t need to rely on a woman, nor do I need the Yue Family. If you don’t believe me, starting tomorrow, I’ll cut off all collaboration with the Ye Family. From then on, there will be no association with the Ye Family whatsoever.”
