Chapter 52 There is only one in the world
"Steward Xue, I remember there was a pair of little figures in this pavilion, where did they go?" Yue Yirou asked Xue Tao with a puzzled look, pointing to the exquisite pavilion on the artificial hill.
Xue Tao hesitated for a few seconds: "After the young master let Miss Yue leave Xingye Pavilion that day, for some reason, he suddenly had those two lifelike little statues smashed."
Upon hearing that Yan Ye had ordered the smashing, Yue Yirou's confusion immediately dissipated. Given Yan Ye's eccentric personality, it wasn't surprising that he suddenly wanted to smash something.
Without saying anything more, Yue Yirou strode back into the house.
As soon as she got back inside, she saw Yan Ye sitting lazily on the sofa, looking at her. He was holding a brand new, pink cell phone.
"Yi Rou, come here." Yan Ye beckoned to her.
Yue Yirou hesitated and slowly walked over. Just as she was about to sit down on the sofa next to her, Yan Ye reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing her down onto his lap.
Yan Ye then pressed his lips to hers and kissed her for a while before letting go.
"This is a phone that your man specially customized for you. There's only one in the whole world."
Yan Ye waved the phone in his hand and then handed it to Yue Yirou.
Looking at this unique cell phone in the world, Yue Yirou felt no joy, only one thought: to call Lu Tingjun.
"Do you like it?" A deep, magnetic voice came from beside me.
Yue Yirou pursed her lips and nodded gently.
"I knew you'd like it."
Seeing Yue Yirou nod with her lips pursed, Yan Ye was as happy as a child.
These days, although he has been suffering a lot, he is in a good mood. He feels that Yue Yirou's heart is gradually opening up to him.
He believed that as long as he treated her well, one day she would fall in love with him. Then, he would hold her close, kiss her, and gently tell her that he loved her too, that he had loved her for many years.
After hugging Yue Yirou for a while, Yan Ye let go of her and then took the elevator upstairs to his study to continue working.
After the elevator doors closed completely, Yue Yirou got up and went to the window with her phone, preparing to call Lu Tingjun.
Outside the window, a curtain of rain fell, without lightning or thunder, the downpour bringing a touch of coolness to this sweltering summer afternoon.
The SIM card in this phone was bought for her by Yan Yexin. She just looked through it and found that there was only one phone number stored in it, with a single character as the contact name—Ye.
After hesitating for a while with a sigh, Yue Yirou began to dial Lu Tingyun's phone number on her phone.
"Hello."
The call was quickly connected, and upon hearing the gentle, familiar voice coming from the phone, Yue Yirou's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Hello, who is this? Why aren't you answering?"
She didn't know what to say, she really didn't know what to say. Maybe she just wanted to hear his voice. How long had it been? How long had it been since she had heard that gentle voice?
After not receiving a response, the other person paused for a few seconds, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Is that Yi Rou? Yi Rou, is that you? Where are you now? Are you alright?"
Yue Yirou looked up, holding back her tears, and said with a smile as calmly as possible, "It's me, Tingyun. I'm fine. How about you? How have you been lately? How is Wanting doing?"
"Tell me where you are now?" Lu Tingyun didn't answer Yue Yirou's question, but instead asked in a deep voice, "Yirou, tell me where you are now?"
"I..." Yue Yirou looked at the white rain curtain outside the window, trying hard to hold back her tears.
She would never tell him where she was, but if things continued like this, he would eventually find out.
"Yi Rou, I miss you so much. Where are you? I've learned everything from Zou Qian. I don't blame you for going to Xingye Pavilion to help me find the jade pendant, but I haven't been able to find you since that charity gala. Where did you go? I sent people to your house to look for you, but your uncle and aunt said you never came back. Tell me the truth, are you at Xingye Pavilion?"
"No, no." Yue Yirou immediately denied it. "Tingyun, didn't I tell you on the phone before? My phone was broken, that's why I couldn't get through. Now I have a new phone, but... you don't need to call me anymore, and I won't call you anymore either."
Lu Tingyun was clearly stunned. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? Yi Rou, what do you mean?"
"Tingyun, let's break up." Her voice was extremely desolate, yet it revealed a firm resolve.
Only by breaking up could Tingyun stop looking for her, stop being heartbroken after learning about her relationship with Yan Ye, and stop coming to Xingye Pavilion to find her.
Lu Tingyun was either too shocked or found it hard to accept, and remained silent for a long time. Yue Yirou's tears had already seeped from the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears, determined not to let them fall.
After a long silence between them, Yue Yirou hardened her heart and continued, "Tingyun, I feel I'm not good enough for you. Forget about me and find a good girl who is your equal and can help you in your career."
After saying that, Yue Yirou hung up the phone and stared blankly at the rain outside the window.
Whether it was because of the rain or because she had just broken up with Lu Tingyun, she felt the chill getting stronger and stronger. She couldn't help but rub her arms, but it was no use. The chill surrounding her grew more and more intense.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and decided to turn around and go upstairs to her bedroom to put on another layer of clothing.
But the moment she turned around, she almost collapsed onto the floor.
Didn't he go upstairs to his study to work?
The moment she saw Yan Ye, she finally understood why she felt increasingly cold.
He stood just a few steps away from her, within reach, radiating a chilling aura, his face so cold it defied description as if it were made of ice.
How much of her conversation with Lu Tingyun did he hear?
She didn't know, but she knew that he must have heard her breakup with Lu Tingyun, otherwise he wouldn't have just stood there quietly glaring at her.
"I just called him to break up with him. I won't contact him again."
She knew he was extremely possessive, and to avoid him acting out unnecessarily, she figured it was better to explain.
Yan Ye glared at her fiercely, his thin lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing, his eyes filled with emotions she couldn't understand.
"If you don't believe me, then confiscate my phone. I don't have many friends or relatives, and they don't care about me, so I don't need to use my phone often."
Yue Yirou handed her phone to Yan Ye as she spoke.
Yan Ye didn't confiscate her phone. He glared at her, his thin lips parted slightly, his tone cold yet tinged with grievance: "Do you keep your word?"
Yue Yirou was a little confused, not understanding which of her words he was referring to.
"Do you mean what you said about breaking up with Lu Tingyun and no longer contacting him?"
Yan Ye practically roared these words out, like a child roaring.
Yue Yirou was startled by his voice and tone.
"Yes, of course it counts." She nodded.
To be honest, she wanted to take back what she said, but reality forced her to keep her word.
The surrounding temperature began to rise, and then she was pulled into a strong embrace.
