Chapter 16 Who do you think you are?

Getting closer, her already alluring face became even more breathtakingly beautiful, making his heart race.

Song Huaiqing had always known Lin Yiwan was pretty. During their adolescence, he had countless times been captivated by her beauty. His dreams were even filled with her image.

But at some point, his entire attention shifted to Lin Yirou. She was kind and delicate, needing more care and attention.

Gradually, he began to find Lin Yiwan’s presence annoying. He found her talkative, immature, and even her beauty was too striking, not as refined as Lin Yirou’s.

Lin Yiwan scoffed.

“Resent you?  How dare I resent you? You were being so ‘kind’ to me. After I’ve had my ‘training’ in the countryside, I’ll surely repay you handsomely.”

She emphasized the word “repay.”

Even Song Huaiqing, despite his dullness, sensed something was wrong.

“Wanwan, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree on the job thing? Yirou is weak, the work in the countryside is too hard, she can’t do it. You’re the older sister, shouldn’t you let her have it?”

Lin Yiwan rolled her eyes.

“She’s weak and can’t do the work in the countryside, so I’m supposed to suffer? You’re so worried about her, why don’t you give your job to her?

You’re so considerate of others, why don’t you go to the countryside instead of me?”

Words that had been bottled up for two lifetimes finally burst out, a torrent aimed at his face!

As if he hadn’t expected her to say this, Song Huaiqing’s face flushed crimson.

“That… that’s not the same thing!”

Lin Yiwan crossed her arms, looking disdainful.

“How is it not the same? I, a woman, can go to the countryside, but you, a grown man, can’t?  Are you saying your job is more valuable than mine, or that you’re more valuable than me? Song Huaiqing, I never realized you were so good at being generous with others’ things!”

Lin Yiwan’s almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, her fair face slightly flushed, her already alluring beauty becoming even more stunning.

Song Huaiqing instinctively reached out to steady his rapidly beating heart.

Once again, he felt regret and worry.

She’s so beautiful, what if she encounters someone unscrupulous?

I heard that some men in the countryside force educated youth into marriage…

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

But the registration was done, and going to the countryside was a done deal!

Once registered, there was no turning back, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

In the end, Song Huaiqing could only comfort her with a pained expression: “Wanwan, don’t be angry, I promised you, we’ll get married when you come back. I promise, I’ll listen to you in everything from now on, and I’ll never let you suffer again.”

Hearing this, Lin Yiwan curled her lips.

“Song Huaiqing, that’s just sweet talk, don’t deceive yourself. You don’t really think you can easily come back after going to the countryside, do you?”

In her previous life, if Song’s grandfather hadn’t known about his promise to her, he might have married Lin Yirou.  There would have been no marriage between them later.

Song Huaiqing didn’t understand why Lin Yiwan suddenly exploded.

Listening to her sharp words, seeing her cold and disgusted face, he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

“Wan… Wanwan, that’s not what I meant, I’m telling the truth, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Lin Yiwan: “Oh, I see, are you finished? Go back then.”

With a stern face, she said coldly.

Song Huaiqing certainly hadn’t finished, and he didn’t want to leave.

“Wanwan, we haven’t had a proper conversation in a long time, can’t you let me come in and sit for a while?”

“Inconvenient.”

Lin Yiwan refused relentlessly.

Song Huaiqing looked disappointed.

“Wanwan, you’re leaving for the countryside in a few days, I hope we can be okay and not fight.”

Lin Yiwan sneered.

“Song Huaiqing, who do you think you are? Why do you think that after I gave up my job, I should be grateful and welcoming to you? At best, we were childhood neighbors! Don’t flatter yourself!”

After her mother died when she was young, her grandfather took pity on her and took her to the compound for a few years. That’s when they first met.

These words stunned Song Huaiqing; for a long time, he couldn’t react.

He didn’t understand, everything had been fine, why was she suddenly so angry?

While he was stunned, Lin Yiwan quickly opened the courtyard gate.

The gate creaked open, and Song Huaiqing came to his senses.

Instinctively, he was about to step forward.

But the next moment, the vermilion gate slammed shut.

The heavy wooden door almost hit Song Huaiqing’s handsome face!

“Wanwan!”

He knocked on the door unwillingly.

But the only response was the woman’s icy voice.

“Don’t come looking for me again. We’re done.”

Done?

What did that mean?

Song Huaiqing was shaken, then he knocked even harder on the door.

But no matter how hard he knocked, there was only silence inside. It seemed that Lin Yiwan didn’t intend to let him in!

Song Huaiqing looked at the tightly closed gate in a daze.

A thought crossed his mind.

Did he really do something wrong?

But he just wanted to care for Lin Yirou, what did he do wrong?
