<h4>Chapter 839: Chapter 557: One Act Shattered Her Ten Years of Devotion</h4>


    "This question is truly hard to answer..." Chen Wei said, "Because even I don’t know how I’ve lived in this city for so long! When you count it, it’s been sixteen years! Unknowingly, they’ve just passed by; it hasn’t felt so quick, but sometimes quite long. However, now at the age of thirty-five, when I look back on these past sixteen years, I really feel like, it’s just the blink of an eye!"


    Lun Ying smiled faintly, "Actually, I’m the same... I’ve lived in H City for over ten years now. Sometimes I feel time is fast, sometimes slow! But there’s one strange thing, I’ve never considered it my hometown, sometimes, I really don’t like it!"


    "No..." Chen Wei shook his head, "You’re wrong! You don’t dislike it, maybe, it’s that you like it too much! Because disliking itself is a form of emotion, just like me with Hong Kong, there’s no so-called like or dislike, I only feel that it has brought me despair, but has also given me hope. Every step I took to get here has been witnessed by it, yet such despair and hope are merely part of my life experience. Maybe if I were in another city, I’d have different encounters, and those cities would simrly bring you despair and encounters, so..."


    Chen Wei shrugged his shoulders, "So I think this might not have anything to do with the city itself, it’s just about how you strive and live in a city. Of course, rting to what you just said, I can understand that your dislike for it is merely because of the people there, one particr person!"


    Lun Yingughed, "It’s not thatplicated. Between him and me, it was doomed ten years ago that it couldn’t be, mainly because I was too foolish, and foolish for ten years!"


    "Since you know you’re foolish, then wake up sooner; it’s not toote now!"


    "Really?"


    "I told you, I can help you!" Chen Wei lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said.


    "But, what you want, I can’t return!"


    "Haha!" Chen Wei suddenly burst outughing, "Then tell me, what do I want?"


    "Love! You’re thirty-five, still haven’t found the girl you’re enamored with, in your heart for love, you should have a wonderful fantasy about it. What you need is a woman whom you like, and she likes you too! So, I can’t return that!"


    "Ha!" Chen Wei sneered and said, "You know, Lun Ying, though you’re still young, I’ve always thought you’re more mature than your peers, but today, you’ve truly disappointed me!"


    "...I’m sorry!"


    "No need to apologize to me, you haven’t let me down, what you’ve truly let down is yourself!"


    "..."


    "Lun Ying, to speak frankly, you don’t have to ept me, but you really shouldn’t keep your heart hanging on Li Weihuan, because it’s utterly meaningless!"


    "Do you know? Before I turned thirty, I always thought that the one I liked and loved was my girlfriend from when I was in Fujian, soter when she got married and had kids, I was really sad, really upset. But even so, I couldn’t bear to me her in my heart, and even secretly supported her when her husband’s business faced difficulties!"


    "I thought this also counted as a kind of love; I thought as long as she was happy, I would also feel happy. I thought, damn it, I was really bing a saint of love! But on the day of my thirtieth birthday, reflecting on the thirty years of my life, suddenly I realized, I actually no longer loved her; the reason I persisted for so long was because I was always enamored with the feeling I had when I first became infatuated with her. What I loved was that feeling, not her as a person!"


    Chen Wei said, "Lun Ying, I only understood this truth when I was thirty years old, and I don’t want you to be like me, having to wait until you are thirty!"


    "Then what about me?" Lun Ying asked in return, "What do you feel about me? Simply because you think I am simr to you, sympathize with each other’s plight, thus you like me?"


    "Of course not!" Chen Wei said, "First off, when I met you, I didn’t know who you were, didn’t know your background or history, yet I must admit that I have a special feeling for you, you can understand it as love at first sight or, something that’s really to my taste!"


    "What kind of feeling is it? For example, if you seriously reject me, I think I shouldn’t feel heartbroken, wouldn’t feel I can’t live anymore, wouldn’t feel the sun won’t rise tomorrow! Because after all, I’ve had experiences, and the memories between us aren’t more than these two weeks in Hong Kong, how intense? How passionate? Doesn’t apply!"


    "But to say there’s no feeling at all, also isn’t true. It’s just a very faint, very thin feeling, with a little bit of difort that might make me smoke a few more cigarettes, drink a bit more wine, more or less the same! To summarize, it’s more intense than between friends, yet ndpared to lovers!"


    "However, Lun Ying, if possible, I still hope you can ept me. Now, I indeed do not love you, but, I very much want to love you. Before you give me this chance, I don’t dare to open my heartpletely to you, you understand the reasons why, I’m sure!"


    "..." Lun Ying bit her lip, unable to speak a word, yet inexplicably felt a bit sad, indescribable emotions.


    Empathy, perhaps!


    "Pull over at the sign ahead!" After a while, Lun Ying suddenly said.


    Chen Wei didn’t think much of it, and the car quickly drove to the sign and stopped!


    Chen Wei looked out the car window, a bit puzzled. It turned out to be the entrance of a vacation hotel, what’s Lun Ying going to do? Meeting someone here?


    "The parking space here can only be parked for an hour at most, but they have an underground garage, you should go park there first!" After a pause, Lun Ying spoke again, "I’ll wait for you!"


    Chen Wei was still a bit unresponsive, while Lun Ying had already opened the car door and got out, walking towards the direction of the vacation hotel!


    "..." It seemed like in an instant, Chen Wei understood something, his heart started pounding intensely!


    ...


    Lun Ying heard the sound of a car engine behind her, and exhaled deeply!


    Just one hour before she decided to go out, she had a phone call with Li Weihuan!


    "Are you there?"


    "What’s up?"


    "Uh, sort of!"


    "Go ahead!"


    "... Weihuan, I want to ask you, do you love Yi Mu?"


    "I don’t love her!" The voice on the other end paused for a while, "... But, I’ll gradually make myself fall in love with her!"


    "... Oh!" Lun Ying tugged at the corner of her lips, "Then I wish you two happiness!"


    "... Thank you!"


    Then Lun Ying quietly hung up the phone!


    Closing her eyes, she couldn’t shake off from her mind the image of Yi Mu holding that little box with a shy expression!


    Knowing well she shouldn’t care, after all, they are husband and wife, whatever happens between them is normal, yet her heart couldn’t help but care, care a lot!


    What kind of closeness requires Yi Mu to get contraceptive pills without caring? What kind of intimacy is that?


    She doesn’t know, but what she does know is that this very act shattered her devotion of ten years in an instant!
