Chapter 56 International Chief Psychological Consultant Xia Meng

Then he stood up, opened the suitcase, took out two prepared gifts, and said with a smile, “Dad, Mom, these are the gifts I brought for you.”

They took the gifts. Bai Shiya looked at the suitcase, which still contained one.

“Son, is that one a gift for Ye Xingchen?”

Lin Yu was stunned, his expression instantly becoming a little unnatural. After a moment of silence, he replied, “Yeah.” Then he quickly closed the suitcase. “Dad, Mom, I’ll go upstairs first.”

Having said that, he picked up the suitcase and hurried upstairs.

At this moment, Bai Shiya said with a smile, “This child, it’s good that he’s back. Why bring gifts?”

Lin Qingfeng responded with a smile, “Open them and see. Are you unhappy that he brought you gifts?”

Back in his room.

Lin Yu took out the gift from the suitcase and carefully put it away.

Then he went into the bathroom to take a shower. After coming out,

Lin Yu lay on the bed, but Ye Xingchen’s figure would appear in his mind from time to time.

And the gift he bought for Ye Xingchen, he didn’t know how to give it.

Lin Yu tossed and turned in bed, feeling conflicted. Gradually, exhaustion came over him, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

Early the next morning, Lin Yu arrived at the new company (Starlight Entertainment). The employees reported their work progress to him one after another.

After a busy day, when he returned home in the evening, Lin Yu found Ye Xingchen standing at his door.

Ye Xingchen was wearing a black suit, his figure tall and straight, cold and imposing, as if isolating everyone thousands of miles away.

“Yu, let’s have a good talk.” Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu and smiled slightly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Lin Yu frowned, looking a little hesitant. He didn’t know how to face Ye Xingchen, who was exuding an aura of alienation.

His heart was full of turmoil, and his eyes were full of contradictions and struggles.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu took a deep breath and said to the driver, “You get out and go home first.”

After the driver got out of the car, Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen and said coldly, “Get in the car.”

Ye Xingchen followed Lin Yu into the car.

Lin Yu started the car and drove for a while, finally breaking the silence by saying, “You shouldn’t have come to me. We’ve already made it very clear, we…”

Ye Xingchen interrupted him, “You’re thinking too much.”

Lin Yu’s hand holding the steering wheel tightened. “Then why did you come to me?”

“I just came to ask you, are we still friends? What did you think I came to you for?”

Lin Yu choked and said, “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for us to be friends in this kind of relationship?”

“I already have a fiancée. What’s inappropriate? Could it be…you haven’t let go.”

For some reason, hearing him say the word “fiancée” made Lin Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he couldn’t refute it, nor could he deny it.

“You’re thinking too much.”

“Since you’ve let go so quickly, you shouldn’t mind us continuing to be friends, right?”

Lin Yu’s hand holding the steering wheel tightened. After a long silence, he said, “I don’t mind.”

“You haven’t met my fiancée yet, right? How about we go out for a meal together another day?”

The more Lin Yu listened, the more uncomfortable he felt, his heart filled with pain, but his face didn’t show it at all.

“Okay.”

But Ye Xingchen suddenly said, “Stop the car, I’ll go back first.”

Lin Yu looked around. “It’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll take you back. Didn’t you say we’re friends? It wouldn’t be good for me to leave you here.”

“Take me if you want.” After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he turned his head to look out the window.

The car continued to move forward, and neither of them spoke again, the atmosphere suffocating to the extreme.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the Seaside Villa.

After the gatekeeper opened the gate, Lin Yu drove the car straight in without hesitation.

Ye Xingchen didn’t say a word, unfastened his seat belt, and silently prepared to get out of the car.

Just as one of his feet landed on the ground, he suddenly turned his head and said, “Why don’t you come in and sit for a while?”

Without thinking, Lin Yu directly refused, “No, it’s already very late, I’ll go back first.”

After saying that, Ye Xingchen slammed the car door shut, and Lin Yu drove away without hesitation.

Ye Xingchen watched the direction in which the car disappeared, his hands clenched tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and he muttered through gritted teeth, “Lin Yu, I don’t believe you have no feelings for me!”

Afterwards, Ye Xingchen turned around and walked towards the villa.

He came to an extremely hidden corner on the first floor and slowly opened a door.

Behind the door was a downward staircase. Going down, it was a space similar to a basement, which was even carefully set up with a skylight.

In the basement, there was an iron cage with a bed inside.

Ye Xingchen walked in and fell onto the bed all at once, his eyes becoming crazy and fiery, and he roared hysterically, “I really don’t want to treat you like this, but if you keep disobeying, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Ye Xingchen picked up a toy from the side, which was a gift Lin Yu had once given him.

He hugged it tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, his expression twisted as he roared, “Yu, you can only be mine, forever!”

On the other side, Lin Yu drove wildly all the way until he came to a quiet lake before suddenly stopping.

After getting out of the car, he walked to the lake with unsteady steps, looking at the calm surface of the lake, his face as pale as paper, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

The night wind gently blew, ruffling his hair, but it couldn’t blow away the haze in his heart.

He held his head in his hands, his body trembling slightly, muttering to himself, “Why can’t I let go…”

Lin Yu squatted down, picked up a stone and smashed it hard at the lake, splashing a burst of water, as if trying to break this endless entanglement and repression.

He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, the love in his heart and the constraints of morality constantly pulling at him, making him almost collapse.

“Xingchen, what should I do with you, what should I do with this love that can’t be seen in the light…” Lin Yu’s voice was filled with endless sadness, echoing on the silent lakeside.

Just then, a gentle and steady voice sounded, “Wallowing in sorrow alone in the middle of the night is not a good way to solve problems.”

Lin Yu turned his head upon hearing this, only to see a woman in a simple suit, with an elegant temperament, slowly approaching. Her eyes were wise and deep, sizing up Lin Yu.

The woman walked to Lin Yu’s side and said softly, “To think that someone as outstanding as you would also be troubled by love.”

Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile. “You wouldn’t understand. This relationship was never allowed from the start.”

The woman smiled slightly and said, “There are thousands of kinds of love in the world. Why be limited by so-called conventions? True love is the feeling in your heart, not the definition of the outside world.”

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then said, “But how can the eyes of the world be easily ignored?”

The woman looked into the distance and said slowly, “Following the voice of your heart bravely may be the only way to find true liberation. If you are always swayed by other people’s opinions, you will eventually lose yourself.”

After listening to her words, Lin Yu laughed softly, “Not everything in this world can have a result.”

“Since you’re so conflicted, what are your true feelings for him? If you’re sure you don’t want to face it, then let it go.” With that, the woman handed him a business card. “If you need anything, you can come to me.”

Lin Yu took the business card, took a look, and said in surprise, “You’re international chief psychological consultant Xia Meng.”

Xia Meng nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving Lin Yu alone by the lake, clutching the business card in his hand, lost in thought…
