TCBHIWAF Chapter 58

Chapter 58 I Only Believe My Own Judgement

Lin Yu directly said, “She’s my girlfriend.”

Xia Meng almost spat out the mouthful of coffee she had just taken. Her eyes widened as she looked at Lin Yu in disbelief, thinking, “What on earth is going on?”

But soon, she regained her composure, a proper smile appearing on her face.

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen’s expression instantly darkened, his hands involuntarily clenching tightly. His tone was unkind as he said, “Oh? Girlfriend? When did this happen? How come I don’t know?”

Lin Yu turned his head away, not daring to look into Ye Xingchen’s eyes, and fabricated an answer, “It’s just recently.”

Ye Xingchen chuckled coldly. “Recently?”

“Exactly when recently?”

“Is it within the last month?”

“Or some other time?”

With each question he asked, Lin Yu’s heart grew more flustered, but his face remained calm.

“Just recently. I think she suits me well.” As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Xia Meng’s, gently squeezing her palm, a hint of pleading in his eyes.

How could Xia Meng resist such a handsome man acting coquettishly toward her?

She thought, “I have to help him with this favor, even if it means going through fire and water.”

She immediately returned the grip, tightly holding Lin Yu’s hand, and chimed in, “That’s right, Yu, I haven’t met your good brother yet. Quickly introduce us.”

Lin Yu smoothly followed up, saying, “This is my good brother, Ye Xingchen, whom I’ve known since childhood.”

Xia Meng immediately extended her hand, smiling as she said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Xia Meng, Lin Yu’s girlfriend.”

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward, Ye Xingchen remaining motionless for a long moment.

Ye Xingchen harshly pinched his thigh several times under the table before slowly extending his hand.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ye Xingchen.”

Immediately after, Ye Xingchen took out his phone, preparing to make a call.

“The best time is right now. I’ll call my fiancée over and introduce you two.”

Lin Yu frowned almost imperceptibly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still suppressed his displeasure and responded, “Sure, I haven’t met her anyway, so let’s meet.”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the café grew increasingly strange, each person’s thoughts as tangled and complex as a ball of yarn, difficult to unravel.

Ye Xingchen dialed Qin Wanwan’s number, his voice instantly becoming incredibly gentle. “Wanwan, I’m at Nanshan Café. Can you come over for a bit?”

Qin Wanwan on the other end of the phone understood immediately, responding enthusiastically, “Xingchen, wait for me, I’ll be there right away.”

As she spoke, she gave the phone a “mua” kiss.

Lin Yu’s movement of drinking coffee paused, thinking to himself, “Have they become intimate to this extent?”

Ye Xingchen endured his discomfort, smiling as he replied, “Wanwan, be careful on the way. I’ll wait for you.”

Hanging up the phone, Ye Xingchen looked triumphantly at Lin Yu, but his face remained as calm as ever, without the slightest change.

Could it be that Yu really doesn’t care about him anymore?

He didn’t even react.

Xia Meng watched from the side, a look of doubt in her eyes.

Before long, Qin Wanwan rushed into the café in a flurry.

As soon as she entered, she went straight for Ye Xingchen, saying, “Xingchen, I’m here!”

Ye Xingchen naturally put his arm around her, introducing her to Lin Yu and Xia Meng, “This is my fiancée, Qin Wanwan.”

“Hello, I’m Lin Yu.”

“I’m Xia Meng.”

Qin Wanwan smiled as she greeted them, her eyes secretly observing everyone’s reactions.

Just then, Lin Yu stood up.

“Xingchen, let me go out for a while. You and your girlfriend can sit together.”

Ye Xingchen’s smile slightly froze on his face. He truly hadn’t expected Lin Yu to say such a thing.

But the play was already halfway through, he couldn’t stop now.

He could only stand up, Lin Yu walking past him and sitting down next to Xia Meng.

At this moment, Xia Meng and Lin Yu were sitting together, both appearing somewhat uncomfortable.

Xia Meng’s eyes darted around nervously, while Lin Yu tightly pursed his lips.

Ye Xingchen naturally sat down as well, telling Qin Wanwan, “Wanwan, come sit.”

Qin Wanwan obediently walked over and sat next to Ye Xingchen, a sweet smile on her face, but her eyes revealed scrutiny.

The four of them sat around the table, the atmosphere strange to the extreme.

Ye Xingchen’s gaze was fixed on Lin Yu, trying to discern a hint of a clue from his expression.

But Lin Yu deliberately avoided his gaze, only stealing a glance occasionally before quickly looking away.

Xia Meng coughed lightly in embarrassment, attempting to break the silence.

“Um… let’s not be so serious, everyone.”

Qin Wanwan echoed, “Yes, yes, let’s all relax a bit.”

However, this didn’t ease the atmosphere, but made it feel even more oppressive.

Everyone silently sipped their coffee.

After a while, Lin Yu said calmly, “We’ve pretty much finished our coffee, and we’ve met everyone. We won’t disturb you two any longer.”

He extended his hand, and Xia Meng, understanding his intention, placed her hand in his.

Lin Yu led Xia Meng away.

And at this moment, Ye Xingchen, watching their departing figures, stared intently, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

As Lin Yu and Xia Meng’s figures grew further away, Ye Xingchen’s eyes filled with loss and unwillingness.

As soon as they walked out of the café, Ye Xingchen broke down.

Seeing this, Qin Wanwan asked worriedly, “Ye Xingchen, are you okay?”

Ye Xingchen didn’t speak.

“What’s going on with you guys? Didn’t you grow up together? How does he suddenly have a girlfriend?”

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen became emotional, raising his voice. “I don’t believe it. I don’t believe they’re boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Qin Wanwan said weakly, “I thought they looked quite natural just now.” The more she said, the softer her voice became.

Ye Xingchen glared at Qin Wanwan, shouting, “Natural? Where was it natural? What do you know!”

Qin Wanwan was startled by his shout, shrinking her neck and not daring to say another word.

Ye Xingchen turned and punched the wall next to him, the back of his hand scraping against the surface, but he seemed not to notice at all.

Qin Wanwan carefully tugged at the corner of his clothes, softly Soing, “Ye Xingchen, don’t be like this…”

Ye Xingchen snorted coldly. “I don’t believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe that he can be with someone else so quickly!”

Qin Wanwan hesitated for a moment. “Maybe he has some unspeakable secret?”

Ye Xingchen abruptly turned his head to glare at her, shouting, “Unspeakable secret? I don’t care what unspeakable secret he has, I only believe my own judgment.”

Having said that, Ye Xingchen quickly walked out of the café, Qin Wanwan chasing after him, calling out, “Calm down!”

Ye Xingchen paid no attention, after letting the driver out of the car, he drove away at top speed, his mind filled with only one thought: “He won’t give up so easily. He has to figure out what’s going on between them!”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yu got into the car with Xia Meng.

Xia Meng looked at Lin Yu’s gloomy face, saying, “Ye Xingchen obviously doesn’t believe it. Do you think this will solve the problem?”

Lin Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice low. “I don’t know. Let’s take it one step at a time.”

Xia Meng shook her head helplessly. “Ah, you two are truly incomprehensible.”

Lin Yu didn’t respond, starting the car and speeding away.
