Rong Linyi looked at the woman in front of him.
She was so pitiful and helpless, but his heart did not move.
It turned out that only when she meets someone she truly loves, that she understands what is true love.
He really didn’t have any feelings for Jiang Yilin…
Realizing this, Rong Linyi felt a little sad.
Over the past decade, the relationship he regarded as important never existed.
But he didn’t regret it.
He couldn’t lose Su Yanyun. After the quarrel with her this morning, he realized how important she was to him.
“Yi, answer me, and I’ll answer you, okay?” Jiang Yilin was like a drowning person as she looked at him with a longing expression. “You didn’t fall in love with anyone else. You were forced to get married. Let me know, I don’t mind, really… I don’t mind that you will marry another woman. I know your mother doesn’t agree with us being together… I just want you to still have me in your heart. I, I can be your lover, I can do anything for you…”
Rong Linyi turned to her side again to avoid Jiang Yilin’s eyes.
His answer shattered Jiang Yilin’s fantasy.
“No one forced me. I love my wife a lot. She… is the only person in this world worthy of my love.” Rong Linyi’s eyes softened at the mention of Su Yanyun.
Jiang Yilin had never seen such tenderness before.
She suddenly remembered that when she saw him at the airport in the morning, he was on the phone and his eyes were as gentle as water.
At that time, was he talking to his newlywed wife?
Jealousy and indignance filled Jiang Yilin’s heart frantically.
“You love her?” She smiled with tears in her eyes. “What about me? What am I?”
“Let’s call him an old friend.” Rong Linyi’s eyes turned cold again when he returned to Jiang Yilin.
“Old friend!” Jiang Yilin’s eyes were a little fierce. “Yi, I’ve stayed with you for so many years. Back then, you held my hand and asked me to accompany you forever. You asked me not to leave you… Now that you’re telling me that you only treat me as a friend, don’t you think you’re… being too much?”
Rong Linyi’s eyes softened as she mentioned what happened back then.
“Back then… I didn’t know what love was. It was my fault for treating gratitude as a relationship.” He looked at Jiang Yilin in the eye. “Ms. Jiang, you can name any compensation you want.”
“Compensation?” Jiang Yilin cried. “Yi, what compensation do I want? I only asked you to love me like you did back then. What have I done wrong? I ended up like this because I loved you.”
The more she said, the more impatient Rong Linyi got.
He never realized that Jiang Yilin was so unreasonable.
When the two of them met, they were still young. At his most helpless and uncertain state, he did think highly of her.
But… he knew very well that it wasn’t love. At most, it was gratitude.
“Since Ms. Jiang doesn’t want compensation, there’s nothing more to say between us.” Rong Linyi looked at the time. He still had many things to do. Besides Su Yanyun, no one else could make him give in.
“Yi, why have you become like this?” Jiang Yilin sobbed.
Rong Linyi had already walked to the entrance of the dining room. Hearing Jiang Yilin’s question, he paused and turned his head slightly. “It’s probably because I’m a jerk.”
This indifferent and perfunctory tone completely crushed Jiang Yilin’s remaining hope.
No, she couldn’t admit defeat like this… The love she had “stolen” with great difficulty… couldn’t be lost just like this!
