"Yaoyao also said that your family treats her very well, and she feels that her parents have let you down. She even feels that she isn't good enough …
"You might not be able to understand her, but as a woman, I can empathize with Yaoyao. If it were me, I would also choose to return the money because I want equality. I want our relationship to be clean, without any impurities. Money is a good thing, but sometimes, money isn't necessarily a good thing."
After saying her piece, Leng Nuan waited for a moment, but Lin Jiage still didn't respond. So, she spoke up once more, breaking the silence, "It's getting late, so I'll be heading back to rest. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now."
After saying those words, Leng Nuan waited for a moment, and seeing that Lin Jiage still wasn't replying, she prepared to lower the phone from her ear and end the call. But before she could even lower the phone by half an inch, Lin Jiage's voice sounded from the other end, "Thank you."
Thank you … Even though Lin Jiage didn't say anything, Leng Nuan could guess that he was thanking her for telling him all of this.
Leng Nuan lowered her eyelids slightly, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "You don't have to thank me. I'm not telling you all of this to help you. After all, I don't know you that well, so there's no reason for me to help you. I'm not usually like this, and the words that my friends tell me usually end here. The only reason why I'm telling you all of this is because I want to help Yaoyao …"
"…" On the other end of the call, perhaps taken aback by Leng Nuan's heartless words, Lin Jiage was stunned for a moment before replying, "Thank you."
This time, Leng Nuan didn't respond. Instead, she lowered the phone from her ear and hung up.
While she was on the phone with Lin Jiage, there were two missed calls and more than ten unread messages on her phone.
They were all from Lu Benlai.
"Nuan Nuan, your phone is busy. Are you talking to our boss?"
"Nuan Nuan, our boss is a man of few words. What's there to talk about with him? Talk to me, I'm the best at it."
"Nuan Nuan, it's already been ten minutes. Why are the two of you still chatting? A man and a woman alone in the middle of the night can easily get pregnant."
Pregnant?
Leng Nuan's lips twitched as she kept her phone. Ignoring Lu Benlai, who had been muttering to himself all this while, she returned to her dormitory room and went straight to bed.
…
A long time after the call ended, Lin Jiage finally lowered his phone from his ear.
Leng Nuan's words echoed in his ears over and over again. For some reason, he felt as if he was in a dream, and he found it hard to accept.
Whenever he imagined the sight of her squatting on the field and crying, he dared not imagine how she would react when she returned home from Chengdu and heard the news regarding her parents.
She must have been very upset at that time, right? It must be even more pitiful and helpless than what he saw tonight, right?
But he actually … actually didn't differentiate between right and wrong, didn't ask for the truth, and just went along with what he knew. That day at the clubhouse, he even said, "You've been the Lin family's fiancée for six years, it's only right that you get paid …"
Lin Jiage closed his eyes, and all of a sudden, he felt like giving himself a tight slap.
