Chapter 6

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

If it was said that before Tao Xinya hated Yi Lianna and wanted her to disappear, then she now was ashamed of wanting to commit suicide because of guilt.

If it wasn't for her original destruction, Yi Lianna and Brother Yu would have got married, probably already have several children, and she had also said a lot of nasty words to Yi Lianna, and even hit her...... The more Tao Xinya thought the more shameful she felt and she was completely unable to lift her head.

There was a moment of silence in the dining room, and Tao Xinya was both guilty and embarrassed. The action of Yuan Yurang was too intimate, made her actually not know how to react, but was also seen and the person who had seen was not others, it was actually Brother Yu’s girlfriend.

If it was before, she would triumphantly show off to Yi Lianna, but now she just wanted Brother Yu and Yi Lianna to be together. Of course, she didn't want Yi Lianna to misunderstood and wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with Brother Yu —— although they didn't really have a relationship right now —— thinking about it, Tao Xinya first decided to keep quiet.

Yi Lianna looked at the two intricately, especially the eastern girl. She just came to the dining door and saw Yuan Yurang’s hand rubbing the egg juice from the girl's mouth and even ambiguously licked the juice on his hand. The doting in his eyes was something she had never seen...... No, she had seen it, but the girl who once made Yuan Yurang look like this was gone.

Compared to the rigidity of the two women, Yuan Yurang’s attitude was natural. "Yi Lianna, how come you’re here?" he asked, seeing that the orange juice in Tao Xinya’s cup was gone, he picked up the glass pot of orange juice to help her fill it up.

Tao Xinya watched the glass that was filled, and the food in her mouth was a little hard to swallowed. Was Brother Yu not afraid of being misunderstood by Yi Lianna?

"Er, thank you." Based on courtesy, Tao Xinya swallowed the food, thanked him, her eyes did not dare to lift.

"I’ve got a few urgent documents for you to sign." After all, it was a strong woman in the business world, and Yi Lianna quickly restrained her emotions and restored her calmness and pride.

The Yuan head office company was in Scotland, where Yuan father was seated, and Yuan Yurang mostly stayed in the Branch office in New York. Yuan Yurang returned to Scotland this month the New York Branch was temporarily handed over to the Vice President, but the major files still needed Yuan Yurang to looked over and some cooperation plans also required the signature of Yuan Yurang, so the New York Branch would transfer the files to the head office.

Although Yuan Yurang came back to Scotland, it didn’t mean that he had nothing to do, it was rare for his son to come back, Yuan father, of course, gave the official business to his son, let himself spent a few leisure days. Therefore, Yuan Yurang stayed at the head office these days. Today, he was going to talk business with his clients and would not enter the company. Yi Lianna, who was his secretary, of course, had to accompany him. They originally made an appointment at the company's doorway then they would set off, but Yi Lianna entered the company early, she just got the urgent files from the branch office and came to the Yuan house.

Yuan Yurang took the files from Yi Lianna’s hand and smiled slightly: “Sorry to trouble you, you haven’t had breakfast yet? Sit down and eat together!”

Yi Lianna was not polite, just sitting opposite Tao Xinya, looking at Tao Xinya, she jokingly said to Yuan Yurang: "Who is this lovely young lady? Can’t be that you abducted her here?"

And then said hello to Tao Xinya. "Hey, hello, I am Yi Lianna."

Yi Lianna was a standard Western beauty, neat light brown hair, green eyes, dressed in a light blue suit, she look smart and capable, and also not lost her femininity.

"Hi!" Tao Xinya tried to make herself laugh naturally. "My name is Bella." This was her English name. When she said her name, she couldn't help but snuck a peek at Yuan Yurang.

Yuan Yurang had no reaction, holding a cup of coffee and looking down at the documents that Yi Lianna had brought.

Tao Xinya was secretly relieved but also felt that she didn’t need to be so careful, Yi Lianna was a foreigner, she told Yi Lianna her English name was normal.

"Bella, you’re an Easterner, right? You look really cute, Yu, where did you know such a cute little sister?” Yi Lianna smiled and looked at Yuan Yurang.

Yuan Yurang drank his coffee, faintly looking at Tao Xinya, while Tao Xinya cramped her head low and sped up the speed of eating. She could find an excuse to quickly escape this embarrassing situation, but the frugality of these two years made her accustomed to not wasting food, even if she wanted to leave, she must finish eating before she could leave.

Seeing through her thoughts of escaping, Yuan Yurang raised his lips. "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

"Cough cough......" The cold and tender exhorted made Tao Xinya choked, and quickly picked up the orange juice with a big mouth and poured in, but she had coughed her eyes red and nose red and with her white and tender bun little round face, there was a kind of cuteness that couldn’t be said.

"See!" The culprit didn’t have any self-perception but still said cool words. "I told you to eat slowly."

She would be choked; was the fault of his harm!

Tao Xinya irritably gave him a glance. She was convinced that Brother Yu had really changed —— he had gone bad!

The person who received the contempt raised the corner of his mouth higher then answered Yi Lianna’s words. "You can’t be fooled by her appearance. She’s already 20 years old."

Yi Lianna took the interaction of the two into her eyes, especially the attitude of Yuan Yurang surprised her. She looked at Tao Xinya carefully.

Petite woman, shoulders chestnut curly hair, rich little face, the most conspicuous was the bright big, round eyes —— this face was only cute, even if it was 20 years old, but it was just a little girl.

She and Yuan Yurang had known each other for more than ten years. She knew that Yuan Yurang was not interested in this little girl, but he deliberately teased the girl, and that indifferent eyes were actually smiling, she hadn't seen him so happy for a long time.

At this time, Yi Lianna knew that the girl was special, and Yuan Yurang did not evade to let her know, which made Yi Lianna felt uneasy.

In the past two years, she had not seen him treated a woman like this. Who was this girl named Bella? She was able to make Yuan Yurang treated her like this.

"20 years, really I can't see it." Yi Lianna smiled and looked askance at Yuan Yurang. "That’s also younger than you by 12 years! It's a little sister to us! Time flies so fast, we’re all old." She shook her head and sighed. (tenderflower: LOL old cow eats tender grass....?)

Yuan Yurang still had a light smiled and didn't respond to Yi Lianna's words but looked at her faintly, and Yi Lianna didn't avoid his gaze, smiled and looked at him.

He admired Yi Lianna, really, her self-confidence and intelligence never lost to men, so he was only attracted to her that year. (tenderflower: really...?)

However, this relationship ended after he proposed to break up. He knew that this was unfair to Yi Lianna, that he disappointed her, he had always been guilty of Yi Lianna, so he made up for her at work and let her play to her abilities.

He trusted her, the two had always been good partners in business, in private they were still friends, although Yi Lianna still loved him —— she said, she had to wait for him, no matter how he persuaded, she just didn’t give up.

If Tao Xinya was not dead, after the divorce, he would marry Yi Lianna; but Tao Xinya was dead, then he knew that he and Yi Lianna could never be.

Or it should be said that as early as when they broke up, they were already impossible. No matter what the reason for breaking up, the love that was abandoned was gone and could not be recovered.

Even if he was with Yi Lianna, it was impossible to have no jealousy with the original breakup, because both of them were the same proud and demanding perfect people.

"Er......" Finally finished the breakfast, Tao Xinya interrupted the gazes of the two. "Sorry, I have a class in the morning, I will go first. Mr. Yuan, please convey my regards to Aunt Mei and Uncle Hong." When she finished, she was ready to flash.

"Hold on." Yuan Yurang called her. "I’ll let Jimu send you."

Roy also appeared at this moment, holding Tao Xinya's backpack and coat in his hand. "Miss Tao, these are your things."

Tao Xinya almost forgot her own things. She thanked Roy, put on her coat, put on her bag, and nodded to everyone, ready to leave again.

"Wait a minute." Yuan Yurang called her again. "Roy, bring my scarf."

"Yes." Roy left and soon returned with a dark gray alpaca scarf.

Yuan Yurang took the scarf from Roy's hand and stood in front of Tao Xinya, ready to personally help her around.

"Er...... Mr. Yuan, no need, I’m not cold." Tao Xinya was shocked and hurriedly refused.

"Don't move." He lowered his head and his eyes looked at her coldly.

Tao Xinya immediately and obediently stood still, opening a pair of nervous big eyes, and her heart was moaning and groaning.

Was this alright? Yi Lianna was by the side! Brother Yu, what were you thinking?

Yuan Yurang helped her wrap the scarf around her, and adjusted her curly hair that was caught by the scarf, his fingertips glided over the back of her neck inadvertently.

Tao Xinya trembled down —— her heartbeat was accelerating, and her little face was unconsciously reddish. She hurriedly retreated and lowered her head uncomfortably. "Thank you, I will return your scarf another day." Then fled in a hurry.

Roy followed with responsibility and sent her out, asking Jimu to took her to Shigeweier.

Looking at the back of Tao Xinya ran away, Yuan Yurang smiled. Although his Yaya grew up sensible, some places had not changed at all —— when he was fierce, she would be afraid to round her eyes, and it looked innocent and cute.

She wanted to cut off everything in the past to be the present Tao Xinya, then he was with her; but if she wanted to let go, he would never allow it.

He finally had a chance to recover, and this time he would not miss it again.

"This girl is very cute." Yi Lianna's voice came from behind.

Yuan Yurang turned and returned to his seat. "It's very cute." He agreed with Yi Lianna's words and reached his hand to pour a glass of milk her for.

He knew that she would drink a cup of warm milk for breakfast.

Yi Lianna looked at the milk and smiled. "When I was studying, you always brought a bottle of warm milk to me." The sentimental student years, when they were in love with each other, and now recalled was still sweet.

Yuan Yurang hung down his eyes and took the coffee that had been cold.

"Do you like that girl?" Yi Lianna never beat around the bush.

"Mm!" He understood her personality, just as she knew his, so he wasn’t surprised by her direct question.

"Why?"

Because that was his Yaya.

"Yi Lianna, have you thought about it? Perhaps, our love at that time wasn’t as deep as we thought." That was why it was so easy to broke up.

"No, it was the destruction of Tao Xinya!" She couldn't accept his words, she loved him, and even waited for him for so many years, she thought they would be together.

Tao Xinya was gone, wasn't it? In the past few years, the woman around him was only her, wasn’t it? But why did he like the sudden appearance of the eastern girl? Yi Lianna was unacceptable.

"I won’t give up."

If she gave up, she would lose him. This time she would never give up so easily! Yi Lianna got up and looked firmly at Yuan Yurang.

"This time, I won’t quit easily." After the speech, she turned and left the dining room.

Yuan Yurang didn't stop nor did he opened his mouth to persuade her. He knew that Yi Lianna couldn't listen at this time.

He was apologetic to Yi Lianna, but he did not regard apology as love, his love was only for one person. At first, he didn't know that he loved Yaya, and he was disgusted by her betrayal and noisiness. When they met, they quarreled, he couldn't wait to get rid of her.

When she was really gone, he realized that he had lost something, but it was too late, his Yaya would never come back. He had been through a lot of pain for two years, he thought, was it punishment? Punishment for the five years of his indifference and ruthlessness to her, but the wrong was him, why took her away?

He thought about her all the time, then missed later nearly became hate. He thought that he would be so painful for a lifetime, but he didn’t expect his Yaya to come back...... This was God’s will to gave him another chance, this time he would not let her go again, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Thinking of Tao Xinya, the calm eyes couldn’t help but softened, Yuan Yurang whispered, as if to vowed. "Yaya, it was you who didn't let go before; and now, I forbid you to let go."

The scarf smelled like Brother Yu......

Tao Xinya touched the scarf on her neck, bowed her head and buried the tip of her nose in, smelling the clear taste, was the cologne used by Brother Yu.

Missed this scent so much, Tao Xinya reluctantly smelled, and rubbed the soft scarf with the tip of her nose, she didn't want to return the scarf.

"Xinxin, where did you get that scarf?" Niya looked at the dark gray scarf on Tao Xinya's body. This style looked like men, and…...Her eyes became ambiguous and used her elbow to top Tao Xinya. "You didn't come back to sleep last night. Did something happened between you and Yuan Yurang?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Tao Xinya stared at her and hastily said: "Mr. Yuan has a girlfriend."

"Yuan Yurang has a girlfriend? Impossible! Why didn't the gossip magazine said anything?” The paparazzi loved to dig aristocratic gossip, especially Yuan Yurang, a good-natured man. His business was everyone's concern.

"He's been like (pure) Jade for a long time! I have never heard of any anecdotes in the past few years, even that secretary who had worked with him, it said the two are only friends."

Tao Xinya blinked. "Friends?" How was this possible? Didn't Brother Yu like Yi Lianna very much?

"Yeah, I heard that the secretary used to be his girlfriend, although they broke up later, the two are still friends." Niya thought about the gossip she had seen and suddenly said, "And, I think Yuan Yurang must love his dead wife."

"Ah?" Tao Xinya was stunned and laughed at Niya's words. "How is that possible?" Brother Yu had always hated her, how could he love her?*

*(T/N: laibuji (來不及) - there's not enough time / it's too late - I don’t understand no matters how much I tried to put the sentence together with either one of them so I just kinda made up for it lol -

Here is the original text if anyone knows Chinese: 聿哥哥恨她都來不及了，怎會愛她？)

"How do you know that it’s impossible?" Niya glared at her unhappily. "You’re not reading gossip magazine, what do you know? I tell you, although the magazine said that Yuan Yurang was not willing to marry his dead wife, but if he really didn’t want to marry, why didn’t he marry again when his wife passed away? He didn’t have a girlfriend?"

"Perhaps, because of guilt......"

Tao Xinya's words provoked Niya's disdained to snort, humph. "Xinxin, you don’t understand the men, the guilt does not affect the function of the lower body of a man, okay?"

"Niya!" Tao Xinya’s face was red and hastily looked around, afraid of Niya’s bold speech was heard by people.

"I said really, no matter how guilty, this kind of thing will fade over time, and there is a beautiful big beauty around him, there are so many women around him who want to climb his bed unless he is gay, otherwise how can he not be aroused?"

"But…..."

Without giving Tao Xinya the opportunity to spoke, Niya rubbed her head, her eyes were like watching a child. "Your sister will teach you the reason why a man will not be tempted by the temptations around him is usually only one reason, that is, he has a woman he loves in his heart."

"Then how do you know that he loves his dead wife?" Although not believed in Niya’s words, but Tao Xinya couldn't help but ask, her heart nervously picked up.

Niya shrugged. "Guess."

Roar! She really shouldn't have listened to Niya’s gibberish.

Tao Xinya felt like an idiot, and…...what was she looking forward to? Didn't she decide to let go?

As early as two years ago, she had already given up, not belonging to her was not her. After all, she had died once, was no longer the selfish Tao Xinya. Now the most important thing was to make up for, let Brother Yu got the happiness he should have.

"Xinxin." Niya suddenly used her elbow to hit her.

"What are you doing!" Just being fooled, Tao Xinya was still angry.

"Look ahead." Niya extended her index finger and pointed to the front.

"What thing?" Tao Xinya looked up at the gate and suddenly snorted in silent.

Yuan Yurang stood at the school gate. He wore a beige sweater, a pair of long legs wrapped in dark blue jeans, a dark green fur collar coat on the outside, leaning against the blue sports car, looking down at the file on his hand, simply standing there alone was a dazzling presence.

A bunch of girls gathered at the gate, their eyes were curious and admiring. They whispered and looked at Yuan Yurang with blushing faces, but no one dared to approach, not because of the family upbringing the ladies to be reserved, but because of the man exuded indifference and dignity.

Tao Xinya froze, looking at him and her heart was pounding. H-how could he be here?

"Isn't he here to look for you?" Niya smiled thiefy.

"How is that possible......" Tao Xinya refuted Niya's words and touched the scarf with her hands, and thought...... he was here for the scarf, wasn’t he?

At this time, Yuan Yurang just raised his head and saw the little girl standing in front of him.

He put away the information, "Tao Xinya." The voice was not too big, but just enough for everyone to hear. "Come here."

Er…... In an instant, Tao Xinya again received the attention of them, or it could be jealousy.

"See, I said he was looking for you." Niya pushed her and the little voice teased. "Xinxin, could it be that he wants to chase you?"

"How could it be; don't talk nonsense!" Tao Xinya stared unhappily at her. She had self-knowledge; before she was a beautiful big beauty, Brother Yu’s heart didn't move, now she was like a poor breeding kid, how could Brother Yu like her?

Besides, he had Yi Lianna…...

Seeing that she still remained motionless, Yuan Yurang's brows gathered slightly, his handsome face was cold and heavy. "Tao Xinya, still not come over!"

Tao Xinya was afraid of his expression, dared not delay any longer, she quickly went to the gate and looked at him inexplicably. "Er, you look for me for what?"

"Scarf." He gave the answer.

Sure enough! Tao Xinya automatically prepared to take off the scarf.

"Hold on." Yuan Yurang grabbed her hand. "Get in the car first."

"Ah?" Tao Xinya blinked blankly. "Why?"

Yuan Yurang looked at her faintly, very naturally said. "I borrowed you my scarf, shouldn't you invited me to dinner to say thank you?"

Eh? Tao Xinya was stunned, and before she could react, she was stuffed into the car. When she returned to, the car had already moved.

"Invited you to dinner?" She stared at him in panicked. "What are you going to eat? I’m telling you, if too expensive I can't afford it." She was a poor student now.

"How much money do you have on you?" Yuan Yurang quietly hooked his lips and thought she was so cute, but his handsome face still remained cold.

"One hundred." This was her monthly living expensed.

Yuan Yurang also knew how much she spent each month, usually no more than one hundred. This was the little princess he knew that often ate high-end restaurants when she was free, went to watch musicals, listening to concerts, and went to the department store boutique?

To had such little money in her life, Yuan Yurang felt pain, but he could see that she didn’t feel bitter, and even could be said to be happy, she really grew up a lot.

"Then eat this!" Yuan Yurang stopped at the door of the fast food restaurant.

Tao Xinya looked at the fast food restaurant with a bitter face, followed him out of the car and entered the door.

"Er…...you just order what you want to eat." To said the fast food was also not cheap for her poor woman. (tenderflower: Mhm, I know how ya feel :/)

Yuan Yurang didn't look at her and ordered the meals with the waitress. "Miss, two beef burgers, two french fries, two colas and a bucket of fried chicken, to go."

"Wait a minute......" Tao Xinya hurriedly stopped him. Just like each of his orders, her heart would pump on each point. "Why did you order so much?"

Wuh…...her living expensed this month.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Yuan Yurang flashed a smile in his eyes, took out his small wallet and took ten dollars. "Here, this is my part, the remaining I’ll ask you." Then he took out his wallet and paid for it.

Tao Xinya looked at him blankly and unable to understand what the situation was now. Was she not going to treat him? Why did it change from her to him?

When she was puzzled, the waiter had quickly prepared their meals, and Yuan Yurang took the paper bag that the waiter had packed. "Let’s go!" Then he walked to the door, and Tao Xinya foolishly went with him.

In the car, Yuan Yurang put the food in the back seat and gave her one french fries and a cola. "Hungry, eat first."

Tao Xinya took the fries and looked at him with bewilderment. "Didn't you want me to treated you?”

Yuan Yurang drove the car and faintly throw a sentence. "I don't bully the poor."

The "poor" had to shut up and ate french fries silently. After eating a few french fries, she didn’t feel right. "Where are you taking me?"

Yuan Yurang was unable to help laughing. "Don’t you think it’s too late to ask now? So unwary, don’t you fear I will take you to sell?"

Tao Xinya returned without thinking, "You won't do that." There was no hesitation in the words of trust.

Yuan Yurang's heart couldn't help but be soft, even though he had been indifferent to her from the beginning, but her trust in him has never changed.

As soon as the words were finished, Tao Xinya also felt that her words seemed to be a little too affinity, and she explained uncomfortably. "You’re so rich, why do you need to sell me?"

Yuan Yurang smiled and softly said: "Reassured, I can't bear to sell you."

His voice was very light, but Tao Xinya still heard it. She looked at him in astonishment. A good while after, only then panicked, hurriedly hung down her head and chuckled with a hollow laughed. "He, Mister, you’re really jesting."

"Don't call me, Mister, you can call me, Ah-Rang or…...Brother Yu."

The french fries dropped from Tao Xinya’s hand, she raised her head and stared at him in astonishment.

He didn't find that the corner of his lips was slightly bent and the tone was calm and natural. "Yaya, she called me Brother Yu. Your name is the same, every time I see you, I think of her. Anyway, you and Yaya were good friends, I don't mind if you call me Brother Yu like her."

S-so it was originally like this…... Tao Xinya’s nervous heart was finally put down, then she found her hand shaking, and quickly grabbed the shaking hand.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Yurang discovered her strangeness. "The fries are falling."

"My hand just slipped…..." Tao Xinya's voice was still slightly dry because of her fear, she bowed down to pick up the french fries."Sorry, have made your car dirty."

"It doesn't matter." The amber eyes passed a glimmer of light, "We’re here."

Tao Xinya discovered that he actually took her to the Forest Park. Under the expanse of the night, the stars surrounded them and the black night sky was rendered as bright as the stars, and the twinkling diamonds shone into their eyes, shining with magnificent brilliance.

In the past, she used to came here to see the stars with Brother Yu, and she took the things she bought from the fast food restaurant, watching the stars while nibbling the fried chicken burgers that she wouldn't normally eat.

"Hamburger is for you." Yuan Yurang gave her a beef burger.

Tao Xinya didn't take it, she realized later, and found that something was wrong. "You…... why did you bring me here?"

Her question amused him, and his smile was beautiful and charming, but with a titillating seduction, he suddenly leaned close to her. "What? Can't you see?" He asked softly, his fingers touching her face, and was fond of the slippery tofu touch.

"Xinya." His low and sexy voice called her name, Tao Xinya trembled, trying to avoid his touch, but found that her body was tight and stiff because of fear.

"Don't you know?" He whispered, and his amber eyes eagerly staring at her as if he wanted to suck her in. "My actions are so obvious, can't you see them?"

Tao Xinya’s lips trembled.

"You don't know…..." He paused, his thumb teasingly caressed over her petal-like lips and his thin lips were close to her ear. "I am pursuing you?"

W-what?

Tao Xinya opened a big mouth, the same answer as she had in her imagination gave her a thoroughly and foolishly still.

Yuan Yurang was provoked to laughed at her silly look. The low-pitched laughter overflowed from his thin lips, and he extracted his arm to wrap around her waist, pampering drown tunnel: "Slow little fool, the mouth opens so big, are you seducing me?"

Huh? What seduce? Tao Xinya was still in a daze.

And Yuan Yurang wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"In that case, I won’t be polite." When he finished, without waiting for her response, his palm grabbed the back of her head, and earnestly kissed her little mouth——

135 days.

Today, I am 24 years old, hands clasped, smiling and closed my eyes. I silently make wishes.

The first wish, I hope that godfather and godmother are healthy and always happy and loving.

The second wish, I hope Brother Yu is doing well and can find a good wife to take care of him.

The last wish, I hope…... I can no longer love him.
