Shangguan Wan stared at Ye Yanfeng, her heart sinking as she took some time to comprehend what he said said.
Ye Yanfeng was staring at her too. The both of them fell into silence before he broke the silence first. “I already told Xingxing, and he supports my decision.”
Shangguan Wan opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But in the end, she could only tell him to take care.
The atmosphere fell into a dead silence once more.
Maybe, it was still too quick for her to walk out of that issue.
Her mother was the most important person in her life, and she still couldn’t accept her reason of death!
Actually, she knew very well that it was Ye Fengshu’s fault, that it has nothing to do with Ye Yanfeng. However, if she got together with him, she would feel like she was betraying her late mother…
Maybe, she still needed some time to calm down and let it all sink in. She went to visit a psychiatrist and asked about her current condition.
The doctor said that for things like this, she needed to be the one to walk out of it. If she couldn’t do so, even if she got together with Ye Yanfeng, it would still be a torture and pain for the two of them!
With him leaving here, maybe his fate would come and he would eventually meet another woman. It was not impossible for other things to happen…
But she still told him farewell and to take care. The other meaning behind the two words was implicitly understood by both of them!
Looking down, Ye Yanfeng’s expression hard to read. “Hm, you too. If you meet someone suitable for you, you don’t have to consider me as well.
“Wanwan, don’t force yourself. If you can’t get over that issue, then don’t get over it. Just be relaxed and happy. I’ll respect whatever choice you make.”
Shangguan Wan felt a little choked, her heart bitter and sad. When she didn’t recall what happened in the past, she thought that he was domineering and unreasonable.
But it was later that she understood that it was because he cared too much for her.
The two of them had danced around each other for so many years. Even she didn’t expect that the older generation’s issues would distance and build a wall between them.
Shangguan Wan nodded at him, not meeting his eyes. “You too.”
Ye Yanfeng lifted his hands to caress Shangguan Wan’s head. “Both of us have to be happy.”
Shangguan Wan stared at him, her emotions swarming and spreading within her like strong waves. If she didn’t suppress them down forcefully, she might have cried in front of him.
But she didn’t.
Ye Yanfeng moved away, smiling at him before he turned around, planning to leave.
As he left, Shangguan Wan stared at his slender back. His shirt was wet, sticking tightly to his body as his back and shoulders were completely exposed.
Shangguan Wan called out, “Yanfeng!”
Ye Yanfeng’s dark eyes brightened immediately as he turned around to look at the woman who called him.
Shangguan Wan smiled at him. “Your shirt is wet. I have some clean ones here, so change your shirt before you leave!”
He thought that she called him to ask him to stay, that she didn’t want him to leave…
In the end, it wasn’t the case. He looked down, disappointment flashing in his eyes. However, he adjusted his emotions very quickly. “There’s no need to, I have a clean shirt in my car.”
Shangguan Wan nodded. “Alright then, farewell.”
His lips moved, his voice slightly choked. “Wanwan, farewell.”
Ye Yanfeng went downstairs, bidding Little Xingxing goodbye before he got into his car.
Actually, he had decided to leave not only to repent for his father’s sins. It was also because he didn’t want her to see him. He knew that she would remember her mother whenever he appeared…
He didn’t want to put her in a difficult position, and for her to be in pain and despair because of him.
Ye Yanfeng leaned back on the seat, his hand tightening around the steering wheel. His heart was in so much pain it felt numb.
…
At night.
Shangguan Wan and Little Xingxing were laying on the bed.
Their heads were very close to each other, as Shangguan Wan asked softly, “Xingxing, Daddy is leaving and Mommy didn’t ask him to stay. Will you blame me?”
Little Xingxing hugged Shangguan Wan’s waist, pressing his head against heer shoulder.
“Wanwan probably feels sadder than me about Daddy leaving. I won’t interfere in what you adults do, and I don’t want to be your burden as well. Actually, I’m a little happy that you two didn’t get together just because of me.”
Shangguan Wan leaned down to kiss Little Xingxing’s forehead. This boy was so mature that she really felt like crying!
…
The day of Ye Yanfeng’s departure was set very quickly. He was going to leave on the third day after they bid each other farewell.
That day, the driver sent Little Xingxing to the airport.
Ye Yanfeng hugged Little Xingxing tightly, his eyes slightly wet with tears.
Little Xingxing leaned into his arms, calling him Daddy many times.
The father and son hugged for a very long time, until Jing Ting prompted them that Little Xingxing struggled out of Ye Yanfeng’s arms.
Ye Yanfeng looked up, glancing at the busy airport entrance.
It was only Little Xingxing’s who came, Shangguan Wan didn’t come to send him off. Although it was expected, he still felt a bitter disappointment and hurt that he struggled to hide.
He bent down again to hug Little Xingxing, placing a kiss on his forehead.
When Jing Ting and him were going through the security, he turned back a few more times, glancing at Little Xingxing and then at the airport entrance.
In the end, she still didn’t appear.
…
What he didn’t know was that Shangguan Wan had come to the airport. She stood behind a round pillar which blocked her slender figure.
Seeing him turn several times towards the airport entrance, she teared up, her tears blurring her sight.
He was sad, but she didn’t feel any better!
They both still needed time.
It was until he disappeared and no longer could be seen that Shangguan Wan turned around to leave.
She got on a taxi, staring out of the window as she stared at the skies. Her chest felt like an invisible black hand had clenched her heart tightly.
This feeling was the same as when her first confession had failed.
She thought that she didn’t like that devil senior. But after she was rejected and found out that he liked another feminine senior, it felt like he had whacked her in the head.
For the next few nights, she found it difficult to fall asleep. She was a person who would be more motivated the more something beat her. Back then, she felt like nothing could defeat her.
…
She didn’t know why she suddenly seemed to be obsessed with him. She would run over to the high-school building after class after she realized that he liked to lean against the railing, listening to songs while he would sometimes solve questions with several boys. Although there were many girls who liked him, he rarely talked to girls.
It seemed like he really like seniors and didn’t like girls that were same-aged or younger than him.
However, he was wild and arrogant most of the time. She would walk past their classroom occasionally, and would see him looking down as he played games secretly or stood behind the toilet to smoke.
Chen Wan helped Shangguan Wan analyze her situation, thinking that she had switched from liking him openly to liking him secretly.
Shangguan Wan thought that liking him secretly was not too bad. At least she didn’t have to worry about being rejected. It was enough for her to experience all the sweetness and bitterness alone!
At that time, all of them were really innocent.
It was until one day when she went to the university opposite to find someone and heard some moans when she passed by a small forest. She went in to take a look, and her expression changed instantly.
The senior that the devil senior liked was sitting on a boy, both were kissing each other furiously and passionately, pawing at each other in a heated frenzy.
At that time, she didn’t know what was wrong with her. Instead of avoiding confrontation, she even ran in, hauled the boy up and punched him ruthlessly.
