Chapter 252 I Don’t Want to Have Children
The social circle they are in is just the right size, neither too narrow nor too vast.
Ye Wanqing, as a woman who had served as Mrs. Lin for six years, was familiar with Lin Xuan's extensive social network. She could even call the names of those guests whose faces were slightly unfamiliar to her, not to mention the influential figures in the prominent families in the capital, whom she knew like the back of her hand.
Ye Wanqing had already built a defense line in her heart, ready for any unexpected situation. She was straightforward and always maintained a detached and natural attitude towards the emotional entanglements between men and women.
Her love with Lin Xuan was open and aboveboard, and she was not afraid of what others said. No matter what the outside world said, she just laughed it off and never took it to heart.
Lin Xuan even scoffed at such gossip. Otherwise, how could he have resolutely dissolved his marriage with Ye Wanqing just to seek inner truth and freedom?
After dinner, Lin Xuan took Ye Wanqing on a unique open-air movie tour.
This was Ye Wanqing's first time experiencing the charm of an open-air movie. She found it novel and interesting. As vehicles passed by, she could easily step into the scene of this visual feast.
The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and the river breeze blows gently, bringing a bit of coolness and moisture.
Ye Wanqing sat quietly on the stone bench, her thoughts wandering, as if she had merged into the quiet night sky.
What she enjoys most is such moments, when she doesn't need to think or worry, but can just quietly feel the caress of the wind, the murmur of the water, and the comings and goings of all kinds of people around her.
Just then, a young figure quietly came into her sight. A toddler boy staggered towards her.
The little boy's steps were still childish, and he took every step carefully, fearing that he would fall if he was not steady.
Seeing this, Ye Wanqing quickly stood up from the stone bench, half-knelt down, and greeted the arrival of the little guy with a gentle look.
The little boy threw himself into her arms without any fear: "Sister, sister, you are the most beautiful sister!" His words were pure and innocent, as fresh and pleasant as the dewdrops on a summer morning.
"LeLe, my child!" At this time, an ordinary but loving couple hurried over.
Although the little boy's mother is not a stunning beauty, her voice is soft and delicate, warming people's hearts like a spring breeze.
The little boy's father looked gentle and his eyes behind his glasses were full of affection and care for his wife.
"I'm so sorry, this kid is so naughty. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. We were really scared."
The little boy's mother apologized to Ye Wanqing with apologetic words, and called out softly, "Le Le, come here quickly, come to your mother!"
Hearing her mother's call, Lele reluctantly let go of the little hand that was holding the corner of Ye Wanqing's clothes.
He seemed to want to return to his mother's arms, but just after taking a step, he stopped and threw himself into Ye Wanqing's arms again:
"Mom, look, this is my beautiful sister!" He pointed at Ye Wanqing with his tender fingers, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
Seeing this, Lele's mother stretched out her hand awkwardly, wanting to pick up her son, but was worried that Ye Wanqing would feel uncomfortable.
After all, Ye Wanqing's temperament and appearance are both extraordinary. If she minds this kind of intimate contact, it would be even more embarrassing.
Ye Wanqing smiled and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, he is really cute."
Her gaze fell on Lele's pair of bright and pure black eyes, which were full of innocence and purity, as if they could wash away the dust in people's hearts.
"Yes, when he is cute, he is so lovable, but when he is naughty, he is also a headache." Lele's mother coaxed her son while holding him tightly in her arms.
At this time, Lin Xuan came back with a bottle of water. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" His eyes wandered back and forth between Ye Wanqing and the family of three.
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently: "It's nothing serious, it's just that this little guy seems to like the earrings on my ears very much."
She pointed to her delicate earrings, a gentle smile on her face.
Lin Xuan looked in the direction her finger pointed, then handed over the bottle of water with the cap already unscrewed: "Do you like children?" There was a subtle hint of expectation in his tone.
In fact, he had just returned a while ago and happened to witness the heartwarming scene of Ye Wanqing hugging the little boy.
Ye Wanqing was always so gentle. He had never imagined what she would be like as a mother before, but at that moment, an indescribable tenderness surged in his heart.
This man who once had no interest in children now actually began to look forward to having a child with Ye Wanqing. Preferably a girl who could inherit her mother's beauty and gentleness.
Ye Wanqing took the water, took a sip, then looked at Lin Xuan with a smile: "You are not thinking of rushing into marriage and having children just after getting back together, are you?" There was a hint of ridicule and mockery in her tone.
Lin Xuan shook his head, his expression still as calm as water: "No, I'm not that anxious."
He actually doesn't like children very much. When he was young, he thought children were too troublesome. Now that he is older, he feels that his personality may not make him a good father.
He is not as patient, gentle and tolerant as Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing withdrew her gaze and looked into the distance: "I have never actually thought about having children."
There was a subtle sadness in her voice. Her illness was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment, making her afraid to touch the happiness of her marriage and family easily.
What's more, she and Lin Xuan had just reunited not long ago, so this issue really needed to be clarified.
Lin Xuan looked at her quietly, without any expression on his face: "As long as you are happy."
He knew what Ye Wanqing was worried about, but for him, marriage was not a necessity in life. He cared more about every moment with Ye Wanqing.
"There will be no marriage between us, and no children."
Ye Wanqing suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xuan seriously and solemnly, as if she was announcing an unchangeable fact to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. The feeling was both familiar and carried a hint of indescribable fear, as if the softest place in his heart that he was most reluctant to touch was being gently revealed.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently put his arm around Ye Wanqing's slender shoulders, and gently embraced her in his arms with an almost pious attitude, as if he could keep her by his side forever.
"Wanqing, as long as you are willing, my world will revolve around you. Whatever you want, I will do my best to make it come true for you."
Lin Xuan's voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to flow from the depths of his heart, carrying unspeakable affection and commitment.
Ye Wanqing felt the warmth and strength coming from her shoulder. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently between her drooping eyebrows like butterfly wings. Although Lin Xuan's words were light, they were like a thousand-pound hammer, knocking on the lake of her heart and causing ripples.
She knew Lin Xuan's character very well. He was not the kind of man who was good at using sweet words to make people happy, but whenever he spoke, every word seemed so sincere and profound that it was impossible not to be moved.
She leaned gently on the man's shoulder, feeling the long-lost sense of security, and her heart was filled with unprecedented softness and warmth.
She slowly closed her eyes, as if at this moment, all the troubles and worries were gone with the wind, leaving only two hearts tightly dependent on each other.
"Lin Xuan, have you ever thought about when you started to have this special feeling for me?"
Ye Wanqing's voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it reached Lin Xuan's ears clearly, with a hint of curiosity and exploration.
She had never really delved into this issue, but she only vaguely knew that Lin Xuan had special feelings for her.
But she never really asked or thought about when exactly this relationship started or how it changed.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he smiled bitterly.
He really didn't know when he began to develop that indescribable feeling for Ye Wanqing.
"I can't explain it, Wanqing. Feelings are so strange sometimes. They come quietly and by the time you realize it, they've already taken root deep in your heart."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but it was also full of cherishment and recognition of this relationship.
Ye Wanqing tilted her head slightly, a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Then can you tell me which moment made you realize that you have special feelings for me?"
There was a hint of expectation in her words, as if she was looking for an answer, an answer that would make her more certain of Lin Xuan's feelings.
Lin Xuan lowered his head, his gaze falling gently on Ye Wanqing's face. At that moment, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the barriers of time and space and return to the night that he would remember for the rest of his life.
"It was that night when you sat alone in your room, tears streaming down your cheeks, but you stubbornly refused to make a sound. At that moment, I suddenly realized that my pride and self-esteem were worthless in front of you. I was willing to give up everything for you, just hoping that you could be happy and stop crying."
Although he couldn't be sure when this deep affection began to sprout, it was undeniable that it did exist and grew stronger with the passage of time.
And it all started that night, the moment when he completely understood his feelings.
