Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 312 - 286: The Dumb Girl He Likes
Chapter 312: Chapter 286: The Dumb Girl He Likes
Su Ge’s words were reasonable, and although those brothers were strict with Ling Yuxuan, none of them would say such things, so it had to be Su Ge who spoke up.
Ling Yuxuan could also hear her clearly.
He saw outside the window Lian Yun crying with reddened eyes, looking towards this side with worry and caution visible in her eyes.
This time, Ling Yuxuan didn’t avoid her gaze. Instead, he sighed and said to Su Ge,
"Sister Su Ge, can you help me make her not blame herself?"
Su Ge curled up the corner of her mouth and decisively shook her head in refusal.
"This is something only you can do."
She had just met the girl today, how could she comfort her? Besides, how could outsiders clearly articulate such matters? Only the person involved could alleviate the self-blame in her heart.
However, if he wanted to completely erase it, that might be difficult.
Ling Yuxuan had a bit of a headache. Lian Yun didn’t have redness around her eyes when she was being bullied by those people, but now she was crying a mess.
She looked so ugly!
"Then you call her in for me."
Ling Yuxuan didn’t know what to say to Lian Yun, but he didn’t want to see Lian Yun keep crying. He also wanted to tell her that such scum deserved to be taught a lesson; he was merely the one who took action, he might have been wrong, but he did not regret it.
Su Ge raised her eyebrows in response, but still felt a bit worried. After all, if she wasn’t mistaken, this was the first time Ling Yuxuan had liked someone.
In the past, his mentality was that of a bratty kid; he didn’t understand what liking someone meant.
"Don’t speak without thinking, and don’t end up making the girl cry."
Ling Yuxuan: ....
Was he that kind of person?
After giving her instructions, Su Ge left the room. Ji Sang and Lian Yun were both watching her. Especially Lian Yun, whose eyes were glued on her, nearly unable to wait to directly ask them what they had been talking about.
Seeing that look, Su Ge actually felt a motherly attitude; looking at Lian Yun was like looking at a little kid.
Maybe it was because she always treated Ling Yuxuan as a bratty little brother, maybe because Lian Yun was really too young, the purity and simplicity in her eyes made one want to protect her, or maybe it was now that she had become an expectant mother, her mentality had changed.
"He wants to talk to you, go on."
Su Ge gently patted Lian Yun on the shoulder.
Lian Yun’s grip on Ji Sang’s hand tightened instantly, with a look of nervousness, she looked towards Su Ge, asking eagerly,
"Really?"
Su Ge nodded.
Lian Yun quickly turned to Ji Sang, seemingly waiting for her encouragement.
Ji Sang reached out to tidy up her hair.
"Go on."
Lian Yun stood up, looked through the window at the person inside the room, and clenched her hands by her sides into fists.
Ling Yuxuan was standing with his back to the door and waited. When he heard the footsteps drawing closer, his back straightened slightly, a bit stiff. But after waiting several minutes, there was no sound.
Turning around helplessly,
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lian Yun standing there silently shedding tears.
In an instant, Ling Yuxuan felt his heart in disarray.
"Don’t cry, why are you crying here silently?"
After hesitating for a while, and really unable to stand her face covered in tears, he lifted his hand and used the sleeve of the T-shirt underneath his jacket to wipe them away.
Great, now Ling Yuxuan, who already did not know what to say, found himself entirely at a loss for words. fгeewebnovёl.com
He just kept wiping Lian Yun’s face with gestures that seemed a bit stiff, yet they were gentle and did not cause her any pain.
The girl was a tenacious one, previously thick-skinned following Ling Yuxuan, even if Ling Yuxuan warned her harshly, she wouldn’t show any sadness.
But now she had cried like this.
Ling Yuxuan, having been pampered since childhood, had no need to comfort others. Right now, seeing Lian Yun like this really made him feel helpless.
"You... stop crying, why are you crying?"
Ling Yuxuan might have been better off not saying anything because as soon as he spoke, Lian Yun’s tears flowed like a valve was opened, uncontrollably.
"I’m sorry."
The little girl choked out these few words, sobbing.
Ling Yuxuan paused from wiping her tears.
"What did you say?"
Through her tears, Lian Yun said,
"I’m sorry."
Ling Yuxuan frowned as he looked at her.
"What are you apologizing to me for?"
Lian Yun was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath, her speech intermittent,
"It’s all... all my fault... You shouldn’t... be here."
He’s so dazzling, so full of vitality, how could he possibly be in a place like a police station? Just the thought of him facing prison if that person doesn’t come back filled her with extreme self-reproach.
It’s all because of her.
Thinking this, Lian Yun cried even harder. She no longer cared about her so-called acting career; she just wanted Ling Yuxuan to have a brilliant life, untarnished by a blemish because of her.
Ling Yuxuan looked at the person in front of him who could barely stand from crying, his brow deeply furrowed.
She really was blaming herself.
"Lian Yun."
Ling Yuxuan called out her name.
Since their first meeting on set, Ling Yuxuan had never called her by her name. In front of others, he simply referred to her as "stupid woman." In her presence, he never greeted her; it was always just "you, you, you," or a "hey" when he was irritated or impatient.
This call made Lian Yun lift her head, no longer drowning in her deep self-blame, as she stared blankly at Ling Yuxuan.
She had never minded Ling Yuxuan’s previous cold indifference; cherished people always take some effort to reach. But now, hearing Ling Yuxuan call her by name, her heart was truly happy.
The name "Lian Yun," which she’d heard for nearly twenty years, had never sounded as sweet as at this moment.
Ling Yuxuan was unaware that merely calling her name had stirred such an immense turmoil in Lian Yun’s heart.
Seeing that Lian Yun was looking at him, listening to him earnestly, he began to continue.
"You don’t need to apologize to me; I hit the person, and I know what I’m doing. Lian Yun, I can’t stand that."
Perhaps with someone else, he could turn a blind eye.
But that person was Lian Yun.
How can his favored silly girl be humiliated like that?
Lian Yun was still choking back sobs.
"But... but..."
"There are no buts."
Ling Yuxuan interrupted her straight away.
"Do you expect me to just watch as you fall into that person’s clutches?"
Lian Yun didn’t know what to say.
Her mind was in turmoil.
Only a few things circled in her head.
Just now, Ling Yuxuan had called her name.
He couldn’t stand to see her being humiliated – what did that mean?
Was that look in his eyes one of compassion?
Of concern?
Lian Yun’s mind was a mess.
She naively asked a question,
"You... don’t... hate me?"
This question was bitter and difficult for Lian Yun to ask.
