Chapter 113 An Unforgettable Past
Zou Qian was surprised that Yue Yirou would say such a thing to him.
"Miss Yue, what do you mean by this? Don't you know how much Young Master Yun loves you? He's given up everything for you. If he heard you say this, he would be heartbroken."
He gave up everything for her...
Zou Qian's words echoed in Yue Yirou's ears, and her heart clenched, a dull ache throbbing within her.
She didn't want to hurt Tingyun, but she...
“Assistant Zou, I don’t want him to be sad, but I don’t have the courage to be with him. I’ve already lost him… I’m not good enough for him anymore.”
Yue Yirou's tone was filled with deep sorrow.
“Miss Yue, I can’t help you with this. I can’t bear to say these things to Young Master Yun. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said to me just now. I hope you won’t say such things to me again in the future.”
Zou Qian declined the topic, and Yue Yirou did not force him. After letting out a deep sigh in her heart, she continued walking towards the small wooden house where they lived.
This is a small wooden villa built in mid-air, with a living room, kitchen, storage room, and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and balcony.
The three of them each had their own room.
Lu Tingyun originally wanted to share a room with her, but she refused.
This log cabin villa is the most luxurious house on the island. According to Zou Qian, it was specially built by Lu Tingyun some time ago.
"Miss Yue, Assistant Zou, you're back? Dinner is ready. I'll go to the kitchen and bring the food to the table right away."
Qin Fang was around fifty years old. She was a maid hired by Lu Tingyun on this small island. She was responsible for cooking and cleaning for everyone and would go back to her own home at night.
Since they moved here, Lu Tingyun has become a local tycoon on this small island.
She advised Lu Tingyun to keep a low profile, but he dismissed her advice, saying that the island was so secluded and backward that Yan Ye would never have imagined they were hiding there.
"Aunt Fang, let me help you." After putting the empty water bucket away, Yue Yirou went into the kitchen to help Qin Fang serve the dishes.
Once the food was on the table, Lu Tingyun came out of his room and, upon seeing Yue Yirou, made no attempt to hide his desire for her.
Yue Yirou glanced at him once before lowering her eyes, and while scooping soup from her spoon, she said, "Tingyun, come and have dinner."
“Okay.” Lu Tingyun’s tone was as gentle as ever.
He walked over and sat down next to Yue Yirou.
Qin Fang ate with them, and the meal went fairly well.
The only thing that made Yue Yirou uncomfortable was the ambiguous look that Lu Tingyun would occasionally give her.
If, as Yan Ye said, he only wanted her because he loved her, then why didn't Tingyun do the same thing before?
In the past, he was so conservative and well-mannered that he would never look at her with such a presumptuous gaze, let alone make such demands of her.
She didn't know why he had suddenly become like this. She didn't like him being like this because it always made her think of the time she spent with Yan Ye.
The things she did with Yan Ye were the greatest shame of her life, a wound that would never heal.
After dinner, Qin Fang tidied up and went home.
As night fell, Yue Yirou leaned against the window of her room, looking at the scenery outside.
Surrounded by trees, the sea is not visible, but the sound of waves crashing against the rocks can be faintly heard.
She liked listening to this sound. When she lay in bed at night, thinking about her time with Yan Ye and Lu Tingyun's desire for her, and felt restless and unable to sleep, listening to this sound would gradually calm her agitated heart.
Before she knew it, she was so engrossed in listening that she didn't even notice when the door opened and Lu Tingyun walked in.
She only snapped out of her daze when two arms wrapped around her waist.
She instinctively tried to pry the arms around her waist, but then she heard Lu Tingyun's voice in her ear: "Yi Rou, it's me, don't be afraid."
As Lu Tingyun spoke, he tightened his arms around her waist.
"Tingyun, please...please let go of me first?" she whispered as she continued to pry his hands away.
She was afraid, afraid that he would do something inappropriate to her.
"Yi Rou, you're free now, right? I want it."
Lu Tingyun spoke very directly.
Yue Yirou blushed instantly, her heart pounding with anxiety.
"Yi Rou, please give her to me?"
As Lu Tingyun buried his head in Yue Yirou's neck and shoulders, inhaling her fragrance, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
His hot breath sprayed onto her skin, and Yue Yirou's face grew hotter and hotter, and her heart became more and more flustered.
She shifted her body, preventing Lu Tingjun from burying his face in her neck and shoulders.
"Tingyun, please don't do this, I... I don't want to..."
"Why? Yi Rou, don't you love me anymore?"
Lu Tingyun released her, but turned her body around so that she was facing him.
His eyes revealed desire, but his tone was tinged with sadness.
He could understand why I rejected him before, saying my period hadn't ended.
But these past two days, she has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him, especially when he tries to get close to her, she always makes up some excuse to avoid him.
This made a thought pop into his mind.
But he also knew very well that Yue Yirou was a woman who was steadfast in her love.
Anyone can fall in love with someone else, but she won't.
“Ai, Tingyun, I love you, but I can’t continue to be with you without any resentment. Tingyun, you should know what I’ve been through at Xingye Pavilion for the past month. I… I’m not good enough for you.”
Yue Yirou choked up as she spoke, feeling very sad. It wasn't that she didn't want to be with him, but rather that she couldn't forget the humiliation she had endured for over a month.
"It's okay, Yi Rou, I don't care. In my heart you will always be pure and beautiful, and I only want to be with you, Yi Rou."
Lu Tingyun gently advised him, and at that moment, he completely extinguished that thought in his mind.
He was secretly pleased with himself, but on the surface he showed a look of great heartache.
"Yi Rou, try to think more positively. Those things are in the past. Don't let yourself live in pain." Lu Tingyun said, pulling Yue Yi Rou into his arms and gently patting her back.
Yue Yirou leaned against him, silently shedding tears.
She didn't want to live such a painful life, but she couldn't forget it, and she couldn't help but care.
These past two days, being by Lu Tingyun's side, every time she recalled the countless times Yan Ye had pinned her down, she felt an unbearable pain.
How can she forget?
If there were a drug in this world that could make people lose their memory, she would definitely take it without hesitation.
"Tingyun, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
I'm sorry, she couldn't protect her innocence; I'm sorry, she loves him, but she can't be with him.
"It's not your fault, Yi Rou. I failed to protect you. Please don't be sad anymore. Seeing you like this breaks my heart. I wish I could go and fight that bastard Yan Ye."
