Chapter 950 - 181: Love That Eats Into the Bones
After leaving the café, Tang Yige put Rong Rui in the child’s seat on the backseat, and as she closed the car door, she saw Lei Yicheng standing on the other side of the car, looking at her with such deep eyes that made her heart race.
Tang Yige took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Siyu who had already gotten into the car but was still eagerly staring at Lei Yicheng, walked around the front of the car, and approached Lei Yicheng.
Her hands clasped in front of her, Tang Yige looked at him, "Yicheng, I know no matter how much I say now, I can’t erase the harm I’ve done to you..."
"You didn’t hurt me." Lei Yicheng furrowed his brow, his voice hoarse, "I said before, everything that happened, was my willing choice."
Tang Yige’s nose tingled slightly, "But it’s not worth it."
"The worth is not for others to judge, but for oneself. If I feel it’s worth it, then it is worth it!" Lei Yicheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes brushed with endless loneliness.
"Yicheng, don’t be so stubborn, okay?" Tang Yige’s voice carried a hint of hoarseness.
Lei Yicheng noticed, his brows furrowing even more tightly, looking down at Tang Yige.
When he saw the remorse and guilt on her face, Lei Yicheng’s heart trembled slightly, "Yige."
"Yicheng, you should have your own life, not live forever in someone else’s world. I hope you can also see the wonderful scenery, meet wonderful people, and live a happy and fulfilling life. You are just like all of us, pursuing happiness is our instinct. Yicheng, I truly, truly hope you find happiness."
What she owed Rong Rui, Yige could spend her lifetime to make up for.
But what she owed Lei Yicheng, she could not repay.
So, she hoped for his happiness.
Only when he found happiness could her heart truly be at peace.
Lei Yicheng looked at Yige’s reddened eyes, clenching his hands at his sides tightly until his knuckles turned white.
He had loved her for so many years, it couldn’t just fade in a few months or days.
He knew about her guilt towards him, and it was because he knew that he asked her out today.
He just wanted to tell her.
He wanted her to just be happy, as long as she was happy, he, Lei Yicheng, would have no regrets in this life.
"Yige, can I hug you?" Lei Yicheng said hoarsely.
Tang Yige was slightly stunned, before she could say anything.
An intolerant female voice suddenly sounded, "No way!"
Tang Yige paused, turning her head to see Lu Siyu, angrily getting out of the car after pushing the door open.
Lei Yicheng didn’t even look at Lu Siyu, his gaze still fixed on Yige’s clear and beautiful face, unwilling to move away.
Lu Siyu saw this and was about to explode with anger!
This old man, why is he so shameless!
The person already said they didn’t like him, does he not understand Chinese?!
Lu Siyu simply inserted herself between Lei Yicheng and Tang Yige, raising her head to glare at Lei Yicheng, "Lei the Second, don’t go too far, I’m telling you!"
Daring to hug another woman in front of her, did he really think she was dead?!
Lei Yicheng still didn’t look at Lu Siyu, his deep eyes remained fixed on Yige.
Yige, "..." a bit awkward.
"What are you still standing there for? It’s daytime, no need for a third wheel!"
A soft and soothing little voice grumbled from inside the car.
Tang Yige, "..."
With a faint smile, she glanced slantingly at the little chubby dumpling who was nonchalantly sitting inside the car.
The little chubby dumpling, seeing her looking over, immediately shot Tang Yige a disdainful look of "lack of situational awareness".
Tang Yige pouted her lips slightly, took one last look at Lei Yicheng and Lu Siyu, got back into the car, and even rolled up the windows.
Seeing Tang Yige get into the car, Lei Yicheng couldn’t help but cool down his face, looking down harshly at the little woman in front of him who barely reached his chest, "Lu Siyu, stop meddling!"
"How can your business be called meddling?" Lu Siyu’s cat-like eyes turned red as she looked aggrievedly at Lei Yicheng.
Does this idiot even know she cares about him?!
The person doesn’t like him, yet he still humbly wants to hug them, so pathetic!
She’s pathetic too!
The heart of this man before her had long been given to another woman, now inside his chest was just a cold, hard stone.
But she just happened to like him!
"Waaa..."
Lu Siyu suddenly burst into tears, without any warning.
Lei Yicheng was dumbfounded!
Staring with wide eyes in utter astonishment at Lu Siyu.
So, the person standing in front of him was really human, and not some strange new species?!
Completely not playing by the rules!
Lei Yicheng’s back of the head was full of black lines, fuming with frustration.
Suddenly.
A scent of softness leapt into Lei Yicheng’s embrace.
Lei Yicheng’s body suddenly stiffened.
"Lei the Second, here I have only you, please don’t bully me anymore, alright? I’ve been so sad these days, so sad that I can’t eat, can’t sleep. Every day, I wonder when you’ll suddenly come out and take me away. If you really came, how happy I’d be."
Lu Siyu cried out.
Lei Yicheng furrowed his brows tightly, released his hands, and grabbed her shoulders, trying to push her away.
"Lei the Second, I’m begging you, isn’t that enough?"
Lu Siyu quickly hugged Lei Yicheng’s waist, her small shoulders shivering under Lei Yicheng’s wide palms, terribly afraid of being pushed away, sobbing aloud.
The hand Lei Yicheng had on her shoulder paused.
"I miss you so much." Lu Siyu whimpered like a child, "Without you, I feel like an orphan."
Orphan...
His heart was suddenly stung by those two words.
Lei Yicheng pursed his lips tightly, lowered his gaze, his deep eyes staring at the little head snuggling into his embrace.
"Lei the Second, will you take me back? Is that okay? I want to be with you."
Lu Siyu choked out.
Lei Yicheng’s lips pressed into a line, the spot by his left chest seemed to be heated and melted by her head.
The hand on her shoulder was just withdrawn.
Though he didn’t embrace her again, he didn’t try to push her away either.
Lu Siyu held him tightly, her petite body fragile enough to break with a gentle bend before him.
A sigh gently brushed across Lei Yicheng’s heart.
Seated in the car, Tang Yige saw the two "embracing", and her clenched heart slowly relaxed.
Knowing that Lu Siyu probably wouldn’t return with them this time, Tang Yige drove away from the café.
As the car drove out of Lei Yicheng’s sight, a fleeting color of pain flashed through Lei Yicheng’s deep eyes.
...
As the car arrived at Jinxiu Huadu, Tang Yige’s phone remained silent.
While reaching to unfasten her seatbelt, Tang Yige couldn’t help but curl her lips.
It seems Lei Yicheng has finally met his match.
After getting out of the car, Tang Yige carried Rong Rui out from the car seat, initially intending to let him walk on his own.
Yet the little guy stubbornly refused, insisting she held him.
Helplessly, Tang Yige had to carry the little guy towards the apartment building.
In the elevator, Tang Yige held Rong Rui with one arm, quickly pressed the floor button with the other, then swiftly supported Rong Rui, fearful of accidentally dropping the little guy.
Rong Rui contentedly leaned into Tang Yige’s embrace, no longer showing the understanding demeanour of being Yige’s "boyfriend".
The elevator soon reached their floor, and Tang Yige carried Rong Rui out, standing at the door, opened with a fingerprint, and went inside.
"Back home."
As soon as Tang Yige stepped into the entryway, a clear male voice came from the front.
Tang Yige paused, then her hand eased.
"Dad."
Rong Rui had already nestled into Rong Sinan’s embrace, his little hands wrapped around Rong Sinan’s neck, blinking his large eyes obediently, "I always wanted Little Gege..."
"Hmm?"
Rong Sinan raised an eyebrow.
Rong Rui grew nervous, reluctantly correcting, "Mom...to put me down so I could walk by myself, but she insisted on holding me. There’s nothing I could do. Sigh, being with her, there’s no freedom at all, I really sympathize with you."
Tang Yige disgruntledly changed her shoes.
In terms of flipping moods quickly, the little guy’s second to none.
"Is that so?"
Rong Sinan’s eyes hid amusement, though his face remained serious, "Isn’t it because you’re too lazy to walk, relying on your mom’s affection, and intentionally teasing her?"
Rong Rui kept a straight face, hummed a couple of times, "If you don’t believe me, ask her."
"You little rascal!" Rong Sinan helplessly patted his chubby little behind, "Are you just relying on your mom’s reluctance to complain about you?"
Rong Rui cast a glance at Tang Yige, and upon seeing her thin arm lightly trembling, parted his little behind and quietly snuggled into Rong Sinan’s embrace, staring at Tang Yige without saying a word.
