Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1853: Sincerely Treating with True Feelings

"What did she say?" Lin Deng was so nervous that he almost spilled the wine in his cup, which made Lin Chan feel a pang of heartache.

"Be careful, this is personally brewed by Dongxue, it’s very precious. Not a drop should be wasted!" Lin Chan shouted anxiously.

Lin Deng put down the wineglass in his hand and repeated the question about what words Dongxue used to awaken Lin Chan.

"Dongxue said that even she couldn’t understand if you want to marry Ye Zi because you were moved by Ye Zi’s selfless help, or because you wanted to repay her, or simply because Ye Zi is Ye Zi, and you like Ye Zi. Because of this pure affection, you want to marry Ye Zi." Lin Chan shrugged, "Ye Zi is not the kind of person who can lose all principles because of love. Do you see her as kind? She has her own set of principles for how she conducts herself, and likewise, such a person has a strong sense of self-respect. Dongxue said that when you suddenly and without warning proposed to marry Ye Zi while she was in prison, Ye Zi would naturally think you were doing it out of gratitude, to repay her. So, naturally, Ye Zi wouldn’t agree, and thus wouldn’t see you. Moreover, Ye Zi might very well let go of you because of this."

Lin Chan patted Lin Deng’s shoulder and said, "You should think carefully about why you really want to marry Ye Zi. You have to understand that Ye Zi has her own pride. She won’t accept a marriage that’s based on gratitude or repayment. As for me, I won’t say much more, except to tell you one thing: Ye Zi will be released tomorrow, as she had her sentence reduced by one month. However, she asked Chen Yun not to tell you about this. After she gets out, she’ll stay at home for a few days and then leave the capital. As for where she’ll go next, probably only she herself knows. Then, what you decide to do tomorrow depends on your own heart. If it’s out of gratitude, if you want to repay her, then just pretend you don’t know that Ye Zi is being released early, and don’t disturb her future plans."

Lin Chan got up to leave after saying this, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled, "Forgot to take the wine with me. Well, I’ll take the wine, and you can slowly enjoy the snacks by yourself!"

After saying that, Lin Chan really took the bottle, from which only two glasses had been poured, away just like that, without even asking Lin Deng!

Before leaving, he reminded Lin Deng not to waste the wine remaining in the glass, estimating that if Lin Deng wasn’t his cousin, he might have come over and personally finished the wine in Lin Deng’s glass, just to prevent waste.

After saying all this, Lin Chan felt immediately relieved and happily drove off to find He Dongxue, forgetting to check the time—whether He Dongxue would still let him in at this hour.

That night, the breeze was gentle, and the capital’s night scene was, as always, captivating.

But for some, tossing and turning, sleep was elusive through the night.

The night passed, and daylight came, like a pair of large hands slowly lifting the heavy black veil, allowing light to break through and illuminate the earth.

That day, the weather was beautiful, and the sun was charming.

"Ye Zi, congratulations on your release from here, and I wish you a bright future, may all your wishes come true!" The prison guard in the women’s prison had always been kind to Ye Zi. Everyone knew why Ye Zi was there. In fact, many in here admired and sympathized with Ye Zi.

"Thank you." Ye Zi embraced each of the acquaintances seeing her off as she bid farewell. This place had imprisoned her for a year and two months, totaling four hundred and twenty-five days, and had also locked away her restless heart.
