Chapter 36 Ye Xingchen’s Engagement

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingchen slammed the phone against the wall, instantly shattering it into pieces.

He laughed maniacally, his laughter filled with despair and sorrow, “Since you don’t want my love, then try my hate! I will let you know that leaving me is the worst decision you’ve ever made in your life!”

He collapsed to the ground, tears flowing freely, mixing with the spilled wine.

At that moment, his heart felt like it was being cut by a thousand sharp blades, causing him unbearable pain.

On the other side, Lin Yu arrived in the M Country. He bought a new phone card and found a hotel to stay in.

He ordered a lot of wine.

The room was dimly lit, and he sat alone by the window, looking at the unfamiliar cityscape outside, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.

Bottles of wine were opened one after another, and he gulped them down, the wine running down his chin and wetting his collar.

His eyes were blurred, and his thoughts drifted back to the moments he had spent with Ye Xingchen.

“Xingchen, I’m sorry…” he murmured to himself, tears welling up in his eyes.

He knew that his departure would cause Ye Xingchen great harm, but he couldn’t accept that he was in love with someone of the same gender…

He was also afraid of being discovered.

Once exposed, the reputation of his family, the accusations from others, he didn’t dare to think about it…

Lin Yu kept drinking, trying to numb his nerves with alcohol and forget the pain in his heart.

However, those beautiful memories followed him like a shadow, making his heart ache even more.

Lin Yu got completely drunk, collapsing on the floor, still mumbling Ye Xingchen’s name.

He didn’t know how long it had been before he slowly woke up on the cold floor, his head splitting, but the pain in his heart was even worse.

He looked at the sky outside the window and felt like an orphan abandoned by the world.

He struggled to get up, walked to the bed, picked up his phone, and looked at that familiar number. He wanted to call countless times, but put it down again and again.

“Xingchen, I miss you so much, but I can’t ruin you…” Lin Yu burst into tears, his heart aching to the point of not being able to breathe.

In a foreign country, Lin Yu lived in a daze every day, with no interest in anything.

He often wandered the streets alone, looking at unfamiliar faces, missing his lover in the distance.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen was frantically searching for Lin Yu’s whereabouts, but to no avail.

His temper became increasingly volatile, and the company’s employees were all very careful around him.

“Where exactly are you? I won’t let you go!” Ye Xingchen said through gritted teeth.

After a month of depression, Lin Yu finally decided to pull himself together.

He buried the pain and longing in his heart and put all his energy into his career.

In E City, Lin Yu quickly made a name for himself in the business world with his outstanding abilities and extraordinary wisdom.

He worked day and night, as if tireless, handling project after project in an orderly manner.

The smooth development of his career gradually made him famous in the local area, but whenever the night was quiet, looking at the empty room, his longing for Ye Xingchen surged like a tide.

On Ye Xingchen’s side, from initially hating Lin Yu and vowing to find him and get an explanation, his mentality gradually changed, and he only hoped that he would come back, and he would choose to forgive him.

However, day after day, there was still no news of Lin Yu, and Ye Xingchen’s heart gradually turned from hopeful to desolate.

He often wandered alone in the places he had walked with Lin Yu, recalling the past moments, his eyes filled with loneliness and sadness.

He used to be high-spirited, but now he was tormented by this relationship and looked haggard.

“Yu, are you really not planning to come back?” Ye Xingchen looked into the distance and murmured to himself, his voice filled with despair.

A year later, September 21st, this special day once again pierced Ye Xingchen’s heart, that was the day Lin Yu left.

Time flies, and soon it was time to prepare for the New Year.

Ye Xingchen stood alone by the window, watching the brilliant fireworks in the night sky in the distance.

Other people’s homes were filled with laughter and festivity, but he was all alone.

Once, he and Lin Yu looked forward to the arrival of the New Year together, but now he was all alone.

His eyes were empty, watching the fireworks bloom and disappear, just like their love, beautiful but short-lived.

And on the other side of the ocean, Lin Yu also sent a gift back to his parents in advance for the New Year.

Looking at the equally gorgeous fireworks outside the window, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He knew that this New Year, the person he was thinking about was not by his side, and the pain caused by his departure might never be healed.

——Jing City

At the annual family banquet, Ye Xingchen returned home for dinner.

At the dinner table, Liu Ruolin cautiously opened her mouth, “Xingchen, you’re not young anymore, have you ever considered your future?”

As soon as Ye Xingchen heard this, Lin Yu’s figure flashed through his mind, and he thought to himself: ‘Yu’ said he loved me, if he really loves me, would he come back if he heard this news?

Ye Zhonglan also persuaded from the side, “Yes, Xingchen, you should plan for your future.”

5-year-old Ye Wanying stared at her brother with innocent eyes, not understanding what the adults were talking about.

Ye Xingchen was silent for a moment, and finally slowly said, “Okay, I agree.”

Liu Ruolin and Ye Zhonglan looked at each other, their faces showing a gratified smile, but Ye Xingchen’s eyes were still dim, and his heart was full of entanglement and expectation.

As soon as Liu Ruolin heard that Ye Xingchen agreed, she quickly said, “Then I’ll arrange a blind date for you.”

Soon, the blind date arrangement was settled, and Ye Xingchen didn’t care who the other party was, and agreed directly.

Soon, news spread that Ye Xingchen had a girlfriend and was preparing to get engaged.

During the New Year, Lin Yu called his parents. On the other end of the phone, Bai Shiya happily said, “Yu, you’re not young anymore, even Xingchen is preparing to get engaged.”

As soon as Lin Yu heard this, his heart was cut like a knife, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to say, “I wish him well.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu thought for a while and bought a pair of Romeo and Juliet dolls to send home, preparing to have his parents pass them on to Ye Xingchen.

He also attached a card that read: Congratulations, you have found your Juliet.

A week later, Lin Qingfeng received the gift and had it sent to Ye Xingchen.

When Ye Xingchen received this gift, he was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Yu still cared about him. He opened the gift box with trembling hands, but when he saw the dolls and the words on the card, his face instantly turned pale.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and deep despair, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

“How could you do this to me…”

He tightly gripped the card, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if the whole world had completely collapsed at that moment.
