Chapter 172 I'm just... a little unwilling
Those vicious words, like a brand, were deeply etched into her heart, causing her unbearable pain every time she thought of them.
"What are you thinking about?" Mo Qingcheng's voice interrupted her reverie.
Yu Yuetong snapped out of her daze and turned to look at him. "It's nothing."
"Still thinking about Qin Reng?" Mo Qingcheng asked with certainty.
Yu Yuetong was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "I'm just... a little unwilling."
"What are you unwilling to accept?"
"I'm not willing to be manipulated by him like this, I'm not willing to have my life ruined by him like this!" Yu Yuetong said, her eyes gradually reddening.
Mo Qingcheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid. I'm here for you from now on. I will protect you and won't let anyone bully you again."
Yu Yuetong leaned on his shoulder, feeling his warmth and steadfastness, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Perhaps, leaving Qin Reng is the best choice for her.
……
The car sped along and finally stopped in front of a seaside villa.
The villa is nestled against the mountains and overlooks the sea, boasting a beautiful environment and luxurious decor, clearly indicating its high value.
"Do you like it?" Mo Qingcheng asked.
Yu Yuetong nodded. "Very beautiful."
"I'm glad you like it." Mo Qingcheng said, taking her hand and leading her into the villa.
The interior decoration of the villa is even more exquisite and sophisticated, showcasing the owner's taste and dedication in every detail.
Mo Qingcheng led Yu Yuetong on a tour, and finally they arrived at a bedroom on the second floor.
"This is your room." He opened the door and said softly, "See if you need anything, and I'll have someone bring it over tomorrow."
Yu Yuetong walked into the room and looked around. The room was large, and the decor was exactly the same as her previous one; even her favorite scented candles were prepared.
She turned to look at Mo Qingcheng, "When did you prepare all of this?"
"From the moment I fell in love with you." Mo Qingcheng walked up to her, looking at her with deep affection. "Yuantong, I know I've done many wrong things in the past and hurt you, but I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
Yu Yuetong looked at him, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She wasn't unaware of Mo Qingcheng's love for her, but...
"Qingcheng, I..."
"Don't rush to reject me. Give me some time, and give yourself some time too, okay?" Mo Qingcheng interrupted her, his eyes filled with expectation.
Yu Yuetong fell silent; she didn't know how to answer.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, revealing a familiar figure in the doorway.
"Yu Yuetong, you really are here!" Qin Reng stood angrily at the door, his eyes bloodshot as if he were about to spit fire.
He grabbed Yu Yuetong's wrist and pulled her away from Mo Qingcheng. "Come back with me!"
"I'm not going back!" Yu Yuetong struggled violently. "Qin Reng, we're already divorced!"
"I can refuse to sign the divorce papers!" Qin Reng roared. "As long as I don't sign them, you will always be my wife!"
"You..." Yu Yuetong was furious. She never expected that Qin Reng would be so shameless.
"Qin Reng, don't go too far!" Mo Qingcheng stepped forward, shielding Yu Yuetong behind him, and said coldly.
"This is between my wife and me, it's none of your business!" Qin Reng glared at Mo Qingcheng, his eyes filled with hostility.
"Yue Tong is my woman now. If you dare to be rude to her again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Mo Qingcheng retorted without backing down.
"Your woman?" Qin Reng sneered. "Mo Qingcheng, don't you even know what kind of person you are? You dare to try and steal my woman?!"
"Enough!" Yu Yuetong couldn't listen anymore. She flung Qin Reng's hand away and roared, "Qin Reng, don't forget, you were the one who pushed me away! Now you're back to pester me, what do you want?!"
Qin Reng was stunned. He looked at Yu Yuetong, a hint of hurt and panic flashing in his eyes.
"Yuetong, I..."
"You don't need to say anything!" Yu Yuetong interrupted him. "Right now, I just want to be with Qingcheng. Please don't bother us again!"
After saying that, she turned around, took Mo Qingcheng's hand, and walked into the room without looking back, then slammed the door shut.
Qin Reng stood outside the door, listening to the cheerful laughter coming from inside. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He lost, he lost completely!
……
Qin Reng stood rooted to the spot, like a statue struck by lightning, Yu Yuetong's words echoing in his mind. He was the one who pushed her away back then, so what right did he have to question her or pester her now?
His chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making it hard for him to breathe. He let his hand, which had been gripping the doorknob, fall limply, his fingertips turning pale.
"Qin Reng, are you still not giving up?" Mo Qingcheng's mocking voice came from behind. "Yue Tong has made it very clear that she has chosen me now."
Qin Reng whirled around, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Mo Qingcheng, gritting his teeth as he said, "Shut up!"
Mo Qingcheng chuckled, stepped forward, patted Qin Reng on the shoulder, and said with a hint of provocation, "What, did I hit the nail on the head? Who do you think you are, to be taken or discarded at will? Yue Tong is not your toy!"
Qin Reng shoved Mo Qingcheng's hand away and roared, "Get out of my way! This is none of your business!"
"Yue Tong's affairs are my affairs." Mo Qingcheng's smile vanished, his eyes turning sharp. "I'm warning you, Qin Reng, if you dare to harass Yue Tong again, I will absolutely not let you off!"
"You..." Qin Reng was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was speechless.
Just then, Yu Yuetong's voice came from inside the room: "Qingcheng, who's outside?"
Mo Qingcheng turned to look at the closed door, a smug smile playing on his lips. Then he turned to Qin Reng and mouthed, "Did you hear that? Yue Tong is calling me."
After saying that, he ignored Qin Reng, turned around, opened the door, and went inside.
With a bang, the door slammed shut again, leaving Qin Reng all alone outside.
He stood in the empty corridor, listening to the laughter and chatter coming from inside, and felt an overwhelming sense of irony.
Everything he once possessed has now become a luxury.
……
On the other side, Yu Yuetong and Mo Qingcheng sat on the sofa in the living room, with a distance between them, and the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Yu Yuetong lowered her head, twisting her fingers, unsure of what to say.
Seeing her like this, Mo Qingcheng understood and said with a smile, "Yue Tong, you don't need to feel embarrassed. I know you're feeling very confused right now."
Yu Yuetong raised her head and looked at Mo Qingcheng, her eyes filled with confusion: "Qingcheng, I..."
“You don’t need to rush to give me an answer,” Mo Qingcheng interrupted her, speaking gently. “I know you’ve just gotten divorced and need time to heal, as well as time to figure out your own feelings.”
