Chapter 72 Why He Doesn't Understand
Yue Yirou felt his tenderness, and for a moment, she really wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him that she was willing to wander the world with him and be a couple living in anonymity.
But scenes of her time with Yan Ye flashed through her mind.
She was no longer the innocent Yue Yirou. Even if Tingyun didn't mind, she couldn't be with him without any reservations.
Besides, if she really ran away with him, Yan Ye would be furious since he hadn't had enough of her yet. With his abilities, he would find them no matter where they fled.
By then, he would definitely not let Tingyun go.
Now that he has finally agreed to let Wan Ting go and even took her out for a trip, saying he wants her to be happy, why should she provoke him?
Having finally made it to this point, she really didn't want to resort to any more unnecessary techniques.
So be it. She will continue to stay by his side as his plaything in exchange for the well-being of Tingyun and Wanting.
“Tingyun, I won’t go with you. You should understand, we can’t escape. As for what you said about not being soft-hearted towards him, the truth is, I’ve never been soft-hearted towards him. I wish I could kill him, but…”
"No buts, Yi Rou. Let me tell you the truth: Yan Ye stole my woman. I, Lu Tingyun, will never swallow this insult. I will not let him get away with this. So, if you refuse to come with me, I will fight him to the end. Even if it's like throwing an egg against a rock, I will make him pay a heavy price."
Lu Tingyun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with intense hatred and murderous intent.
"No, Tingyun, you can't beat him, please don't fight him, okay?" Yue Yirou tugged at his sleeve, pleading desperately.
"You're just going to let it go without fighting him? Wouldn't that make me, Lu Tingyun, a coward? How could someone like me deserve your love? Yi Rou, Yan Ye has taken my woman. I can't let it go just because he gave up the acquisition of Wanting. I want him to taste this kind of excruciating pain too."
"..." Yue Yirou's face turned pale. She let go of Lu Tingyun's sleeve and couldn't help but stagger backward.
Why? Why doesn't he understand?
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have stayed by Yan Ye's side to endure that kind of humiliation.
If he were to continue fighting with Yan Ye, wouldn't all the humiliation she had suffered have been for nothing?
Why should she suffer so much from love?
"Yi Rou, you don't need to worry so much. I can defeat Yan Ye, as long as you're willing to help me." Lu Tingyun reached out and held her arms, gazing deeply into her eyes.
Yue Yirou also stared at him intently without saying a word, her gaze fixed on his face, torn between agreeing to help him or continuing to persuade him not to fight Yan Yedou.
Therefore, she did not notice the man who had quietly appeared in the corner of the wall, but Lu Tingyun saw him out of the corner of her eye.
Lu Tingyun suddenly reached out and put his arm around Yue Yirou's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Although Yue Yirou did not resist, she subconsciously raised her hand to block in front of the two of them. Feeling Lu Tingyun's burning breath, her heart pounded.
Lu Tingyun had never hugged her like this before, which made her feel excited, nervous, a little shy, and at a loss.
“Tingyun…” she called his name softly.
Lu Tingyun held her waist with one arm and gently stroked her forehead with the other, the temperature of his hand growing hotter and hotter.
"Yi Rou, may I kiss you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
"..." Yue Yirou blushed instantly, her heart filled with excitement.
Despite her excitement, she couldn't help but think about her time with Yan Ye. She felt incredibly dirty and didn't have the courage to accept Lu Tingyun's kiss.
Lu Tingyun saw through her thoughts and comforted her, "In my heart, you will always be that pure and untainted Yi Rou."
“Tingyun…” Yue Yirou’s tears slid down her cheeks again.
"Don't cry, Yi Rou." Lu Tingyun gently wiped away her tears while coaxing her softly, "Be good, close your eyes, let me kiss you properly. I've never kissed you before, Yi Rou. Is this just a little comfort for me? Hmm?"
Yue Yirou was deeply moved. She pursed her lips, slowly closed her eyes, and waited for Lu Tingyun's kiss.
Although her feelings were complicated at that moment, deep down she was willing to accept his kiss, after all, this man was the one she loved.
This moment was joyful and sweet, but also regretful. Regretful that she wasn't giving him her first kiss.
With mixed feelings, she closed her eyes and quietly waited for the moment when Lu Tingyun's lips would touch hers.
However, before Lu Tingyun could kiss her, she suddenly felt a gust of wind from a punch next to her ear. Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes wide, just in time to see a fist slamming into Lu Tingyun's face.
The next second, Lu Tingyun released his arms from her waist and fell to the ground.
“Tingyun…”
Seeing Lu Tingyun fall to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Yue Yirou felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. She wanted to bend down to help him up, but before her hand could even touch him, a strong arm grabbed her waist and pulled her aside.
Before she could even regain her footing, the arm around her waist loosened its grip. She staggered a few steps before finally regaining her balance. Turning around, she saw Yan Ye kicking and punching Lu Tingyun like a madman.
"You actually dared to kiss my woman? I'll stomp you to death, stomp you to death..."
Yan Ye's skills were top-notch, and Lu Tingyun was no match for him. After taking such a heavy punch, Lu Tingyun could only lie on the ground and let Yan Ye kick and beat him, without even a chance to get up.
"Ah... Stop hitting him, Yan Ye, stop hitting Tingyun."
Yue Yirou lunged forward to try and block Lu Tingyun, but every time she lunged, Yan Ye's long arm would swing her aside. She couldn't get close to them at all. After this happened several times, she was starting to feel dizzy.
With no other option, after regaining her footing, she began to shout for help, hoping someone would come and pull Yan Ye away from her frenzied state.
She called out for a long time, but no one came. She then realized that there was no one around. She shouted loudly and ran around the nearby area, but still couldn't see anyone. It was as if the scenic area had been cleared out.
How to do?
If this continues, Tingyun will be beaten to death by Yan Ye.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.
Unable to find anyone to help, she wiped away her tears and hurriedly ran back to the mud houses. She rushed forward again, but this time she didn't want to stand in front of Lu Tingyun. Instead, she rushed towards Yan Ye, hugging his waist tightly from behind and pressing her whole body against his back.
"Enough, Yan Ye, stop hitting me. Lu Tingyun didn't kiss me, he didn't kiss me. Please let him go, okay? I promise, I promise this will never happen again."
