Passionate Devotion

Chapter 30

I am Leng Yejin!

Tong Lu had no idea how many glasses of wine she had drunk. She felt light-headed.

She simply sat down on the floor, leaned against the wall and gazed at the starry sky without a word.

The man and the woman sat in the silence of the night and were lost in their own thoughts. The air between them felt strangely harmonious and comfortable.

It was to the point that Tong Lu, who was drunk, started muttering and expressing her hidden grievances. She leaned on the armrest of Leng Yejin’s chair and raised her head to stare at his face. She grumbled glumly, “Shi Yang, of all the women you could date, why would you pick Tong Juan? Are you trying to get back at me? Do you hate me that much?”

Leng Yejin reached out a finger and slowly nudged Tong Lu’s small head away. She was so loud and noisy. He watched her slump to the floor with indifference and did not even bother to help her up.

Tong Lu held the empty wine bottle in her arms. She was particularly dejected. She mumbled to herself, “Even though it was I who had broken our promise and turned my back on our love, of all the women you could have found to upset me, why did you pick Tong Juan? Didn’t you know that she had stolen my father from me when we were young? Now you made me watch her steal you from me. How could you be so cruel?”

Leng Yejin narrowed his eyes. “If someone stole him from you, just steal him back. What can you achieve by simply crying? Can crying solve your problem? Stop crying. I’ll steal him back for you tomorrow!”

As soon as he finished, he realized that it did not sound right. ‘What kind of man tells his wife to cheat on him and even offers to help her get her ex-boyfriend back?’

Leng Yejin tilted his head and gazed at the heartbroken woman. All he could think about was what Ji Yiming had said to him.

Ji Yiming had said, “Young Master Jin, don’t you suspect that you are able to heal the wounds on other people’s bodies? Miss Tong had a wound on her face. Why don’t you test the theory?”

‘Do I need to test it out?’ He narrowed his eyes as he peered at the woman who kept mumbling “Shi Yang” under her breath.

It seemed like he must let this woman know who her man really was!
