I didn't take a single cent of Mr. Yu's money.
That day on the phone, Yu Yoming said he wanted to settle accounts with me, so I took out the check and waited for him.
For me, nothing is more important than seeking his forgiveness, even more than the money I once longed to earn.
Later, I learned that the reason the teacher didn't go to the recording studio was that he had arranged it intentionally. He thought that Yu Yoming would forgive me and give me a chance to explain.
It turns out he has held a grudge against me to such an extent that he doesn't even want to give me a chance to explain, and has arranged this scene to humiliate me.
In the end, the interview was changed; the subject remained Yu Yoming, but the theme no longer related to his illness. Instead, it shifted to the future development of Kunxin Group and his personal growth experiences.
In an interview, he said that he used to like a girl, but later, she disappointed him.
I don't know if he was talking about me. I think we will never have any intersection in our lives.
I am running a clinic as my calling, relying on patients introduced to me by my teacher, and working hard to earn a living.
Since I have the integrity to throw away the check, I must be prepared to live as a poor person.
But I never expected that the recording of my argument with Yu Yoming would be inexplicably leaked online.
Now, everyone in City A knows that I, a third-rate dietitian, actually let down the heir of Kunxin Group. As soon as I step outside, I am met with countless stares, and everyone's expression is surprisingly uniform: Look, that's the heartless and greedy woman.
I never thought that Yu Yoming would be so ruthless. I had already returned the check to him, yet he still wouldn't let me go.
I picked up my phone and dialed his number, but he spoke before I could: "Qin Linlin, stay at the clinic and don't go outside. I'll come to pick you up."
Does he still have the face to come here? Does he want to see me beaten like a drowned rat?
Soon, Yu Yoming drove over. He took me out of the clinic, but I didn't know where he was driving to.
I was furious, and my voice trembled slightly without my realizing it. "I know I owe you an apology. What do you want from me?"
"It wasn't me who leaked the footage; it was Jialin. She used the connections from the television station," Yu Yoming said with a worried expression. "You shouldn't go to the clinic for the next few days. I'm afraid her fans might retaliate against you."
"I didn't provoke her, so why do her fans want to take revenge on me?
Yu Yoming's gaze wandered, and after a long pause, he finally said with a hint of guilt, 'Because I didn't agree to date her.'"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Obviously, the reason I don't date her is because of you."
What? I was stunned.
Yu Yoming suddenly came to a halt, turned to me, cupped my face in his hands, and kissed me.
I was kissed into a daze, almost fainted in his arms.
"Qin Linlin, let's be together." He stared at me, his gaze unyielding, "Without you, nothing tastes good to me; I'm getting thinner and thinner. Every day, I go to the office, but even reading files becomes unbearable, all because I'm busy helping you plant vegetables on the balcony. Our company's performance has plummeted as a result. I've thought it through - without you, I really won't be able to function."
Heh, after humiliating me like that, now he's saying this to me. Does he think I'm a fool?
I coldly smiled and said, "I'm not worthy of your association. If one day you suddenly suspect that I'm with you for money and publicly scold me again, I won't need to live anymore. Besides, I have a bad reputation, so even if you scold me, I won't be able to defend myself."
"Qin Linlin!"
He grabbed my hand, looking a bit anxious. "I admit I went too far, but if it were you, wouldn't you be angry if the person you liked deceived you from start to finish? Moreover, when I entered the studio that day, you avoided me like the plague, completely ignoring me. Could I bear it? Even if you came over to apologize, I wouldn't have been able to control my temper."
So, he didn't mean to embarrass me that day? But it was clearly him who tricked the teacher into sending me to the TV station.
"If I didn't do that, how could I give you a chance to apologize to me?" He averted his gaze, looking a bit embarrassed. "Clearly, you were the one at fault. Do I have to come find you on my own? I wouldn't be so lacking in class."
"Are you still coming to see me without any sense of style?" He sighed and turned his face back to me, "Yes, who made me like you more than you like me? Without you, every day feels like a year for me, but you lied to me and still live your life as usual."
He looked me up and down, "Seems like you've gained some weight recently, right?"
I nervously bit my lower lip and said, "I'm trying to transform sorrow into appetite; actually, I'm feeling quite upset too."
Yu Yoming smiled and replied, "Since we're both feeling down, let's turn it into something positive and be together."
"Do you really not feel angry that I lied to you?"
"That day at the TV station, when you heard the rumors about me and Jialin, and got so angry that you couldn't control your words to argue with me, I knew that you actually care about me. And when I saw that check, I became even more certain that you like me, am I right?"
I really wanted to have the integrity to deny his words, but in the end, I couldn't.
My nose tingled, and tears fell on their own: "I'm sorry, Young master, I was wrong. I really like you, I promise I won't encourage you to fatten up again in the future."
Yu Yoming held me in his arms, his tone gentle: "That won't do. I've lost too much weight recently, so please help me gain some back."
