TCBHIWAF Chapter 123

Chapter 123 The Grand Finale (Part 1)

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day for preparing the wedding arrives.

One day after work, Lin Yu, having finished his tasks, couldn’t wait to call Ye Xingchen.

The call connected, and Ye Xingchen’s deep and sexy voice came through, “Yu~”

“Xingchen, I’m done here. I’ll come pick you up. Let’s go customize our wedding outfits together.”

“I’ll wait for you!”

Hanging up the phone, Lin Yu walked out of Ye Corporation, his heart filled with sweetness.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the company gate, he saw Ye Xingchen’s parents.

This divorced couple was actually appearing together at this moment, both with grave expressions and complex gazes as they looked at Lin Yu.

Liu Ruolin spoke first, her tone tinged with coldness, “We’re here today to talk to you about Xingchen.”

Lin Yu naturally knew why they were looking for him, but he still responded politely, “Uncle, Auntie, hello. Let’s talk somewhere quiet.”

The three of them went to a café together.

They sat down at a window seat in the café.

After the server brought the coffee to the table, they quietly retreated.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Soft music filled the air, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Ye Zhonglan cleared his throat, breaking the silence, his brow furrowed and his expression stern.

“We know that you and Xingchen plan to get married, but we don’t think you two are suitable.”

Lin Yu knew this conversation wouldn’t be easy, but for his future with Ye Xingchen, he had to be honest and firm.

He raised his voice slightly, looking at Ye Zhonglan and Liu Ruolin with an open gaze, “Uncle, Auntie, I know you may find it hard to understand our feelings. Actually, in the beginning, even I was running away from this feeling.”

Liu Ruolin stirred her coffee gently, her gaze cold as she interjected, “You yourself were running away, so why be so persistent now? Isn’t this delaying Xingchen?”

“Auntie, please let me finish. It was Xingchen’s steadfastness and persistence that moved me and gave me the courage to face my own heart. I used to run away, but now that I’ve finally taken that step, I’ll never let go again.”

Ye Zhonglan frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure.

“But your kind of relationship will face many problems in the future, and it’s not good for Xingchen’s future. The criticism from the outside world, the pressure from the family, can you withstand it?”

Lin Yu straightened his back, his tone firm and forceful, “Uncle, I understand your concerns, but please believe that Xingchen and I are prepared to face everything. The criticism from the outside world is nothing, we have the courage to face it.”

He paused for a moment, “If I miss Xingchen, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

Liu Ruolin looked at Lin Yu, a complicated emotion flashing in her eyes, seeming to contain helplessness and a hint of hesitation.

“Yu, the Lin family and the Ye family have been friends for generations. Someone like him shouldn’t have such a stain on his reputation. Consider it Auntie begging you, let him go.”

“Heh~” Lin Yu chuckled softly, as if he had heard something funny.

Liu Ruolin continued, “We just hope that he can have a stable, normal life.”

Lin Yu suppressed the displeasure in his heart, his eyes full of sincerity.

“Auntie, I understand your good intentions as a mother. For Xingchen and me, being with each other is the most stable, most normal life. It’s not the ‘stain’ you’re talking about.”

“Our love is not a momentary impulse, but a well-considered and firm choice. We love each other very much, and no one can separate us.”

Ye Zhonglan and Liu Ruolin exchanged a look, both with a hint of entanglement in their eyes.

They looked at Lin Yu again, seeming to want to persuade him further.

The café fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional sound of coffee cups clinking…

On the other side.

Ye Xingchen was happily waiting for Lin Yu to pick him up, but as time ticked by, Lin Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but feel puzzled, he raised his hand to check his watch, a hint of unease welling up in his heart.

He took out his phone and quickly dialed Lin Yu’s number.

The call connected, and after a brief and monotonous ringing, it was abruptly hung up.

Ye Xingchen’s heart tightened instantly, a bad feeling rushing to his head, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

“Secretary Zhang!” Ye Xingchen shouted, his tone with a hint of anxiety.

“Ye Total, at your service.” As soon as the words fell, Secretary Zhang quickly appeared before Ye Xingchen.

“Go check where Lin Yu is, and give me the news as soon as possible!” Ye Xingchen ordered with a grave expression, brooking no argument.

“Yes!” Secretary Zhang didn’t dare to delay, and quickly turned to carry out the task.

Before long, Assistant Zhang hurried back, her expression slightly hesitant, as if some words were not easy to say.

“Speak quickly!” Ye Xingchen urged loudly, his heart burning with anxiety.

“Ye Total, Lin always left the company half an hour ago. According to the surveillance at the company building entrance, your… parents went to find Lin always.” Assistant Zhang said carefully.

“What?!” Ye Xingchen’s anger flared, “Do you know where they are?”

“According to the street surveillance, they went to ‘Quiet Time’ café.” Assistant Zhang quickly replied.

“I want to see what they want to do! Prepare the car, I’m going to find them!”

Ye Xingchen flew into a rage, turned around, and strode towards the door.

……

Just as Ye Zhonglan and Liu Ruolin were again trying to persuade Lin Yu to give up this relationship, while Lin Yu was holding his ground and refusing to budge…

The door of the café was forcefully slammed open with a “bang”.

Ye Xingchen walked in quickly, radiating a cold aura around him.

His eyes stared at Ye Zhonglan and Liu Ruolin, his voice as cold as if it could freeze the air, “What are you doing here?”

Ye Xingchen turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Lin Yu, the icy look instantly turning into concern.

“Yu, did they make things difficult for you?”

Lin Yu bit his lip tightly, the anger of being provoked by their words still lingering in his eyes, he tightly grasped Ye Xingchen’s hand.

“Xingchen, they said our relationship is a stain, but I don’t care. I only know that I want to be with you.”

Ye Xingchen’s face instantly darkened, the chill around him even more intense.

He turned to glare at Ye Zhonglan and Liu Ruolin, saying each word with emphasis, “I’ll say it again, my relationship with Yu will not tolerate your slander.”

Liu Ruolin was startled by Ye Xingchen’s gaze, but still braced herself to say, “Xingchen, we are your parents, we don’t want to see you make a mistake. You have no future with him.”

“Parents?” Ye Xingchen sneered, “When you divorced and left me with Grandpa, you were no longer worthy of being called that. What my future holds is none of your concern, Yu and I will walk down this path together.”
