The man’s face suddenly turned cold, his eyes sharp as a knife. He curled his lips in a sneer and said word by word, "Lin Yixun, if you think I don’t know what you’re scheming, I advise you to stop your little thoughts!"
Noticing the man’s overwhelming anger, Lin Yixun wisely kept her mouth shut. Leng Yixiu was right. Lin Yixun asked this question out of some private motives. If Leng Yixiu really cared about Cheng Ying, he certainly wouldn’t want their unspeakable relationship to stay hidden from Cheng Ying.
However, if this flimsy cover were to be torn apart, would Leng Yixiu have to choose between them at that time, or would he sacrifice her to protect Cheng Ying?
If that were the outcome, she was more than willing to see it through, even willing to push it along. Although she valued her reputation and didn’t want her disgraceful status to be exposed, ending this relationship with Leng Yixiu would make her let go of such concerns.

"Lin Yixun, does being with me make you this uncomfortable?" After a long silence, the man suddenly spoke, breaking the eerie quiet in the car. He sighed softly, "Ying’er won’t know."
"In this world, there are no walls that don’t let the wind through. Who can guarantee she won’t find out?"
"Even if she finds out, it won’t be the result you expect." The man said coldly, "Lin Yixun, if I don’t let go, don’t think you can go anywhere."
The man’s resolute words startled Lin Yixun. She turned to the man beside her and mocked, "Leng Yixiu, you’re making me think you’ve fallen in love with me."
Lin Yixun thought her words would provoke scorn and disdain from the man. Unexpectedly, he responded indifferently, "If you want to misunderstand, you can keep misunderstanding."
Lin Yixun was momentarily stunned. What did Leng Yixiu mean by this?
There was silence all the way, and after some time, the car stopped by the Thames River. Lin Yixun was amazed to discover that not far from them stood the London Eye.
The giant Ferris Wheel before her was built at the end of the last century and has become a landmark of London through the passage of time.
When they boarded the Ferris Wheel, their bodies gradually rose with the cabin, and the tall buildings were gradually left beneath their feet. At the highest point, the view before them became exceptionally wide. From Lin Yixun’s position, she could see a vast expanse of London’s scenery.
At that moment, the sun slowly started to set, casting a glow in the sky. As the sun set, it showered the Thames River with a brilliant light, staining the river with vibrant colors. Across the river, Big Ben suddenly tolled the hour, and the chimes echoed through the city, creating a sense of timelessness.
Lin Yixun turned to the man beside her and softly said, "Leng Yixiu, do you know what my dream was when I was a young girl?"
Seeing Leng Yixiu shake his head, Lin Yixun smiled sadly, "Of course, you wouldn’t know. Back then, my dream wasn’t to become a scientist or to get into a prestigious university. My wish was simple, just to watch the sunset on a Ferris Wheel with someone I loved.
Back then, I foolishly fell in love with someone, tirelessly chasing after him, doing everything I could to please him, hoping he would look at me even once."
