Although she had compared herself to a bargaining chip, she still felt that everything was worth it for him.
"I know what I want." Liang Feifan stood up and looked at Ye Lian. "I'm very grateful that you've been helping me all these years. I also know that you went to England for a few years to be my good assistant, but Ye Lian, everyone should have something they want to do. You really don't have to revolve around me. I know very well what I want. You should also think clearly about what you want the most. "
I want you!
The one I want the most is you, Liang Feifan!
Ye Lian screamed in her heart, but her throat felt like it was blocked by a huge rock. She didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
"I still have something important to tell you." Liang Feifan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was obvious that he was asking her to leave. "It's about time. Do you have anything else to say?"
Ye Lian bit her lip and swallowed the bitterness in her throat. She spoke again in a hoarse voice. "Feifan, I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. I want to ask you now. Are you really going to marry Bai Lu because of her child?"
Liang Feifan wasn't surprised that she knew about this. Ye Lian had a good relationship with Liang Jingxiao in private. Given Jingxiao's personality, she must have told her about it long ago.
However, it was good that she knew. It saved him from wasting time explaining.
"Yes," he said concisely. "I can't let my child become an illegitimate child."
His words had clearly expressed his position on the matter.
Ye Lian's heart sank into an endless abyss. She only felt upset, disappointed, and heartbroken. She couldn't help but say, "Are you so sure that the child in that woman's belly is yours?"
"What did Jingxiao say to you?" Liang Feifan was obviously somewhat displeased. His two thick sword-like eyebrows knitted together, and his tone became a bit gloomy, "I know that the elders of our two families have already decided on the marriage between us. However, Ye Lian, that's just the elders' opinion. I, Liang Feifan, have never been a person who doesn't dare to take responsibility for my actions. I admit that I owe you. All these years, I didn't have any other thoughts. I just went with the flow. But after all, our relationship was only discussed verbally by the elders. What's more, it's a business marriage. You and I both know very well that we haven't announced any engagement news to the public. Now that there's such a change, I can't have anything to do with you, so you don't need to waste your time looking at me. " Seeing that the woman's face was getting uglier and uglier, and her trembling lips were almost bitten by her, Liang Feifan finally couldn't bear it. He sighed softly, and his tone softened a little, "Ye Lian, you're very good. You deserve to find a man better than me to have you and force you to marry Hao Duo. I'm sorry that my words and actions may have hurt you. I'll remember that I owe you. In the future, I'll do my best to compensate you for whatever you want. The premise is that I can do it. We still have a friendship between us. "
Friendship?
What a joke!
Ye Lian had sacrificed so many years of her youth for Liang Feifan. Was it all for a so-called "friendship"?
No, she didn't want friendship. She wanted his love. Even if he couldn't give her his love, she wanted to be the woman who could stand by his side!
Liang Feifan had already grabbed his jacket by the side. Ye Lian glanced at him and spoke before he could. "Feifan, we've known each other since we were young. Although you admit that we have feelings for each other, we're still considered childhood sweethearts. You don't have to believe me, but I still have to say it. Do you really trust Bai Lu that much? Some things may not be true even if you see it with your own eyes. I hope you won't regret it for the rest of your life. "
She sounded a little anxious and her eyes were red. She was probably afraid that she would lose control of her emotions. After she finished speaking, she walked out of the office.
Liang Feifan put on his jacket expressionlessly. He picked up the folder on his desk and chased after Ye Lian at the elevator.
She was wiping her tears when she saw Liang Feifan chasing after her. Her heart was filled with joy, but the moment she saw the folder he handed to her, her entire face fell.
"Take this with you." Liang Feifan's tone was calm. Before he entered his personal elevator, he handed Ye Lian the tissue in his pocket.
Ye Lian held the folder in one hand and the packet of tissue in the other tightly. She watched helplessly as the double doors of the elevator slowly closed. Her bright red eyes were filled with resentment and indignation.
At the end of the day, all you can give me is a pack of paper towels?
Liang Feifan, how can I take this lying down? …
Bai Lu looked at the phone standing upright on the dashboard. She had just set up the timer. At that moment, the number had jumped to 13: 30 and was still jumping.
She instinctively glanced at it and then continued to look down. There was a piece of white paper on top of the thick book. She held a pencil that she had just found in the storage box and scribbled on the white 4A paper.
When her emotions were in such a mess, she thought of an extreme method to calm herself down, and that was to draft her own design.
At that moment, she looked at the half-completed lines on the 4A paper. For the first time, she felt that this method was feasible.
Today was Monday. In two days' time, she should send another drawing to Buck. Buck had personally told her about the design competition over the phone. He had already signed her up, and there was not much time left. She really should focus on the design competition now. After all, such an opportunity did not come along every time.
The car door was suddenly pulled open. Bai Lu looked up and saw Liang Feifan standing outside. He bent over and got into the driver's seat.
"You drew this?" Before Bai Lu could put away the drawing, Liang Feifan had already seen it. He reached out and took a look at it. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "You drew these lines in just 15 minutes. My woman is indeed very talented."
Normally, whenever he said the words "my woman," Bai Lu's face would flash unnaturally. She would blush and argue in vain that she was not his woman.
But now, she looked calm.
Liang Feifan was a cautious person. This little woman could not hide her emotions. They were written all over her face. He could tell at a glance.
He placed the drawing on the dashboard and saw that her phone was still standing there. The time jumped to 15: 00.
Liang Feifan's lips curved. Just as he reached out to take the phone, Bai Lu was one step ahead of him. She pounced on him and grabbed the phone in her hand. She explained in a way that revealed that she was hiding something. "… I- I just set the time when I drew the design!"
She paused and added weakly, "… This time is not 15 minutes. I set it to 20 minutes. It even jumps …"
Liang Feifan looked down at the woman who was still leaning in his arms. She held the phone in one hand and looked reluctant. This made him very happy. On the other hand, Bai Lu looked up and saw the half-smile in his eyes. She really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
Shameful, shameful, so shameful!
Bai Lu, what nonsense are you talking about? Trying to cover up makes it more conspicuous. You really proved the saying, "Explaining is equivalent to covering up."
She realized belatedly that she was still lying on his lap. Just as she was about to straighten her body, Liang Feifan suddenly reached out and hugged her.
The carriage was small to begin with, and as the two of them walked back and forth, their bodies were completely stuck together.
Bai Lu struggled and stared at him in annoyance. "… Let go!"
"Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Liang Feifan was not angry. Instead, he laughed and raised his eyebrows. "Your unhappiness is written all over your face. What is it? Huh? "
Was it that obvious?
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. She struggled even harder. "… I'm not unhappy. Let go of me first. Let go of me!"
"You were the one who pounced on me just now." Liang Feifan chuckled. His handsome face moved closer to her, and his hot breath blew on her neck.
No matter how intimate the two of them were, Bai Lu could not help but feel her heart flutter every time he got close to her.
She wanted to move back, but Liang Feifan quickly grabbed the back of her head and prevented her from moving. His seductive eyes stared straight into her pupils, causing Bai Lu's heart to race. Her dark eyes darted around quickly, but she did not dare to meet his intimidating gaze.
Instead, he laughed out loud. His calloused thumb gently stroked her cheek, and his deep voice was extremely flirtatious. "I didn't know that you would miss me so much after being away for 15 minutes. But actually, you don't have to restrain yourself like this. If you miss me, just say it. I'm very happy to hear your heartfelt words."
"… I didn't …"
"Shh, listen to me." Liang Feifan interrupted Bai Lu's unconvincing rebuttal. He raised his eyebrows, and his slender fingers happened to press on the corner of her eyebrows. The force was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed to press on the tip of her heart, making it throb.
He said, "Now, listen carefully to what I'm going to say. I'm only going to say this once. I saw Ye Lian just now, and I know that you might have bumped into her in the parking lot. I didn't mean to hide it from you before, but I felt that there was no need to say more because my relationship with her is not like what the outside world says. Of course, it did develop in that direction in the past, but halfway through, you appeared. Bai Lu, you are the biggest variable in my life. So now, everything is no longer how it was originally planned. Because of this, I felt that there was a need to see her face to face and make things clear. "
Bai Lu did not expect that he would take the initiative to mention Ye Lian.
She was indeed unhappy. She admitted that she was jealous.
Jealous, jealous …
There was also a day when she actually had such emotions raging in her chest because of a man. Even when she first found out about what happened between Liang Jingxiao and Xiang Longjin, she only felt angry. She had never felt such strong emotions.
Did she … really fall in love with this man?
When this thought flashed through Bai Lu's mind, her eyes happened to meet Liang Feifan's burning gaze.
