However, now that things had come to this point, there was nothing for her to worry about.
"My patience is for those who are worthy of waiting. As for you, you are not even considered a friend to me anymore. I feel that there is no need to waste my time on you."
His former lover was now a stranger.
When she thought about it, she felt sad.
Teng Yiyang held his chopsticks tightly and looked at her fiercely, "Ji An'an, do you know what you're saying? Don't you remember how you chased me? "
She folded her hands on the table, her eyes were calm, "Yiyang, people change. No matter how many emotions I put into the past, once I can't see any hope, I will have the instinct to protect myself. If I don't want to make a mistake, I will take back those feelings."
"I've always thought that ever since we parted four years ago, there's nothing more to say and there's no need for us to meet again."
She took a deep breath and finally told him what she had said.
If it was possible, she hoped that after walking out of this door today, they would never have to meet again.
Wrong?
It turned out that the relationship he had with her for the past ten years was a mistake. He was like trash, someone who could be casually thrown away.
He couldn't help but think of all those years ago when he had heard her deny her feelings for him. The heart that had been filled with the feeling of meeting her again had once again been hollowed out.
"Ji An'an, that year, you shamelessly followed behind me, pestered me, schemed against me, and made grandfather agree to let us marry. After that, once you left, you left me with all the mess you had in the world. There's no such thing as a bargain in this world, my Teng Familu is not a place for you to come and go as you please."
A bad premonition arose in Ji An'an's heart. She raised her eyes to look at him, "Teng Yiyang, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, don't act recklessly! "
Teng Yiyang smiled mockingly, then took out a cheque from his pocket and placed it in front of her, casually throwing the pen on the table to her, "You don't have to pretend, didn't you marry into Teng Familu for money? Because I saw through you, if I don't give you a chance to get close, then you will leave in a fit of anger. Fine, I'll satisfy you, isn't that just money?
Ji An'an looked at him in shock. She could understand the words even if she tore them apart one by one, but she just couldn't understand what he was saying.
"What are you talking about!"
Teng Yiyang ignored her and looked at her mockingly, "How many are needed before you are willing to return to Teng Familu?"
Ji An'an stood up, trembling with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about!? I think you're crazy! "
"Stop playing. I don't mind the fact that you left without saying goodbye four years ago. I also don't mind what you've done to me these past few times. Since you like money this much, then …"
Before he could finish, a glass of water was thrown at him. His face was covered in tea, and droplets of it soaked his shirt.
Having been slapped for the first time in his life, Teng Yiyang immediately stood up in anger. He was about to attack, but when he met her eyes, he forgot about his actions.
Disappointment, sadness, and endless other emotions he could not understand.
Ji An'an held onto her teacup tightly, suppressing the urge to smash it against her heart.
The person she had liked since she was young, the person she had wholeheartedly treated with all her heart, the person she had to protect even if she had to give up on herself. It was also this person who stepped on her heart for four years ago and then used money to deny her feelings.
She had wholeheartedly offered one for him, but now she had been reduced to nothing by him.
It was tiring to like someone who didn't like her.
Even more depressing was how this person saw him.
His heart gradually turned cold as he poured out the cup of water.
She looked at the person in front of her. Even if her face was splashed with water, it didn't damage his face in the slightest. She didn't know how someone as beautiful as him could say such harsh words.
Indeed, her elder brother was right. She and him were simply unsuitable.
She was glad for the decision she had made four years ago.
She slowly put down the cup, picked up her bag, and looked at him before she left, saying word by word, "Yiyang, I regret meeting you. If you give me another chance, I will not enter Teng Familu."
Teng Yiyang saw that she was about to leave and reached out to grab her, but he was shocked by her words.
The anger in his heart was extinguished.
He watched her go, but he had not yet recovered from her words.
It was clearly her fault, he had already chosen to forgive, he had clearly decided to be willing to compromise for this relationship, but what about the result?
She actually said she regretted knowing him!
Recalling the look she gave him just now, there was no smile and no emotion. Teng Yiyang smashed the cup onto the ground and looked at the broken pieces. He raised his hand to wipe the tea on his face.
"Regret? No way! Since you've provoked me, don't even think about escaping unscathed! "
When Ji An'an walked out of the restaurant, the noon sunlight hit her body. It was scorching hot, as if it was going to burn one's skin. However, when she crossed her arms, she felt as if her entire body was soaked in ice.
She didn't take a taxi, just walked aimlessly.
After walking for a long time, she finally sat down under a big tree.
Although she had seemed so calm and at ease when she left, only she knew that her legs had turned weak when she had walked out of that door. If she had not warned herself to not make a fool of herself in front of him, she would not have been able to walk out of there.
She had always thought that she would tactfully leave that wrong marriage. Even if she met him again, she would not be able to be friends with him. Even if she couldn't, she could still act as if they were strangers.
But he had not expected him to pester and insult her again and again.
So in his eyes, she was this vain, penniless woman?
Where did he get the illusion from?
From the coffee house not far away came the soft sound of music.
"Who still remembers who said that they would always love me? "The old saying is about our wounds in the future. It's been too long and no one remembers that tenderness back then …"
Despite his indifference towards her in those few years, he had actually fallen in love with her in those ten years of his youth.
However, they couldn't withstand the passage of time, so the two became unrecognizable.
She closed her eyes and hid the wetness within.
At this moment, his phone beeped and a WeChat message sounded out.
She opened the chat window with Yiyuan.
"Mommy, Second Uncle took Shuibao to buy a phone. See you tonight!" "Motherf * cker!"
Shuibao's tender voice brought her a refreshing and warm comfort in this awkward afternoon.
She smiled softly as she held the phone.
It didn't matter, she had lost more than ten years of love, but she still had a son.
She and Teng Yiyang were already a thing of the past. She had to pull herself together and not let him disturb her.
The peaceful and happy life that she had finally managed to achieve could no longer be disturbed by him.
"Alright, then Mommy will wait for you guys to come home."
