Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 313 - 287: One Feels Inferior in Front of Someone They Like
Chapter 313: Chapter 287: One Feels Inferior in Front of Someone They Like
"The word ’hate’ was truly uttered by Lian Yun with all the courage she had mustered, and after she said it, she lowered her head.
How torturous must it be to ask the person you like if they hate you?
Lian Yun was still standing there with her head lowered, waiting for Ling Yuxuan’s answer.
Perhaps for Lian Yun, the time before Ling Yuxuan would respond was the most unbearable.
This period was not short because right after Lian Yun finished speaking, Ling Yuxuan immediately thought of how impatient he was when she first started following him, and how many unpleasant things he had said.
Indeed, he had once said he hated her constant bothering.
At that time, he didn’t think much of it, how hurtful such a statement could be to someone who liked him, or even, that this was trampling over someone’s feelings.
Ling Yuxuan was accustomed to speaking his mind without restraint, unconcerned with how much hurt his words could cause.
But, that was in the past.
How could he possibly hate her now?
Ling Yuxuan suddenly said,
’I’m sorry.’
Lian Yun looked up at Ling Yuxuan in confusion.
’I apologize for the things I’ve said, Lian Yun.’
Ling Yuxuan turned his head away, diverting his gaze, and clenched the fabric of his pants tightly with the hand by his side. His voice was hoarse, but his words were still clear.
’I don’t hate you.’
With those words, Ling Yuxuan’s ears turned red.
Often those who are used to speaking without a filter find it hard to articulate their words in front of the person they like.
Lian Yun’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, watching Ling Yuxuan’s red ears, her heart pounding like a drum.
He said he didn’t hate her!
Heaven knows how important this statement was to Lian Yun—she told herself every day not to give up, to slowly pursue the person she liked. Yet she would still recall every word Ling Yuxuan had said at night.
Each recollection made her heart ache.
’Really?!’
Lian Yun’s voice was uncertain but also thrilled.
Ling Yuxuan suddenly felt quite inhuman.
A girl who is clearly excellent and confident became somewhat timid and somewhat insecure by the time she gets to him.
’Yes.’
Ling Yuxuan turned back, looking down solemnly at Lian Yun.
’I don’t hate you.’
Lian Yun’s eyes immediately lit up.
At this moment, Ling Yuxuan still didn’t understand why Lian Yun was so cautious around him.
The feelings between two people, before mutual understanding and equal affection are attained, the one who falls in love first always has the upper hand.
Because, in front of the person you like, it’s natural to feel inferior, to think that you’re not good enough, unworthy of them.
Ling Yuxuan had never been in love, never liked anyone, and his feelings for Lian Yun were not as deep as her feelings for him, so he couldn’t comprehend Lian Yun’s cautious behavior.
But at this time, he already started to feel sorry for such a Lian Yun. Seeing the light in her eyes, his mood also lifted significantly.
....
The surgery went on until midnight and only ended at 12 AM, with City First Hospital’s chief surgeon and deputy chief surgeon jointly operating to save the life.
The moment the surgery was completed, Fu Yisi, although not showing any relief on his face, heaved a sigh of relief for Ling Yuxuan at the bottom of his heart.
Without any casualties, the following matters would be easier to resolve.
Ling Yuxuan was sure to spend the night in the police station, and Han City fully supported Fu Yisi’s decision, deciding that Ling Yuxuan needed to be cured of his foolishness.
Su Ge was still pregnant, and Han City didn’t dare to let her stay in the police station for too long. It was too cold here, and if she caught a cold, that would be troublesome."
Ji Sang let Han City take Su Ge back first while she stayed to accompany her.
Naturally, Su Ge wanted to refuse, but after becoming pregnant, her physical and energy levels were much worse than before. By midnight, her eyes could barely stay open.
Ji Sang could also see that Han City was hesitating, so she hurriedly said,
"Sleeping at the police station, Sister will catch a cold. Hurry up and take her back to rest; I’ll stay here."
Lian Yun was also worried about Ling Yuxuan and decided to stay, but Ji Sang was concerned that the young girl might be scared and wanted to keep her company for a while.
Han City furrowed his brows and, in the end, was too worried about Su Ge and decided to take her back first.
"Just let this brat stay here by himself. Why should you both suffer through the night with him?"
Lian Yun dared not speak, while Ji Sang just smiled.
"I’ll wait for him here."
Fu Yisi would certainly have to come to the police station after finishing his surgery.
Han City also knew Fu Yisi’s character. He had already received a call saying the person was saved and Fu Yisi was probably on his way here now.
"Alright, then I’ll take Sister back first."
After Han City and Su Ge both left, Ji Sang teased Lian Yun.
"Have you opened up your heart?"
The state Lian Yun was in when she came out was completely different from when she went in - her face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled.
Lian Yun never hid her fondness for Ling Yuxuan.
"Sister Ah Shang, I really, really like Ling Yuxuan so much."
Ji Sang asked with a smile,
"So when will you be ready to change how you address him?"
What change? Naturally to ’sister-in-law’.
Lian Yun, smart enough to grasp Ji Sang’s teasing, blushed even more.
"That’s still a long way off."
She had not yet won Ling Yuxuan’s affections; they needed to date slowly, and as for marriage...
She really wanted that too!
You see, some people’s affections have already included the other person in their future plans.
...
When Fu Yisi arrived at the police station, Ji Sang was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open, sitting in her chair, her head propped up by her hand, asleep.
Lian Yun, on the other hand, was still very alert, occasionally glancing at Ling Yuxuan who also couldn’t sleep inside. Sometimes, they just looked at each other, smiling without a word.
A thin blanket covered Ji Sang’s body, borrowed by Lian Yun from Qiming.
But on such a cold autumn night, a thin blanket could hardly keep out the chill.
Fu Yisi frowned as he approached and took off his jacket to cover Ji Sang.
Perhaps it was his scent that made Ji Sang stir, almost waking her, but Fu Yisi quickly bent down and kissed her forehead to soothe her,
"Be good, keep sleeping."
Ji Sang then fell asleep again. But this time, she instinctively leaned towards Fu Yisi.
The man supported her head with his hand, and after she was deeply asleep, he looked at Lian Yun, who was staring blankly, and asked softly,
"Can you help me hold her for a bit?"
Lian Yun nodded hastily.
Sitting closer with a straight back, she patted her shoulder, signaling Fu Yisi to let Ji Sang’s head rest on her shoulder. Fu Yisi looked serious, fearing he might wake Ji Sang. After ensuring there were no signs of her waking, he then stood up and walked towards that room.
Lian Yun unconsciously held her breath, watching his figure.
Fu Yisi’s presence was so strong, she was a bit worried for Ling Yuxuan inside.
But then the door closed, and the two inside moved out of sight from the window.
