Chapter 176 Her heart was in turmoil.
"You're welcome, it's what I should do." David turned to look at her, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes. "Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?"
"I'm fine, he didn't have time to..." Yu Yuetong said halfway, then suddenly realized something, abruptly shut her mouth, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
David naturally understood what she meant, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Oh? Not yet? It seems Mr. Qin is still as sharp as ever."
"David!" Yu Yuetong was filled with shame and indignation, wishing she could disappear into the ground. "Stop talking!"
Seeing that she was really angry, David stopped smiling, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were working overtime tonight?"
"Don't even mention it!" Yu Yuetong was furious at the mere mention of it. "It's all because of that bastard Qin Reng! He suddenly showed up downstairs at my company and insisted on taking me out to dinner, saying he wanted to catch up on old times. I didn't want to talk to him at first, but he..."
Yu Yuetong briefly recounted what had just happened, omitting certain parts that were inappropriate for children. After listening, David's face darkened, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"That Qin Reng is getting more and more outrageous! It seems the lesson from last time wasn't enough; he doesn't take you seriously at all!" David said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger.
"Forget it, David, don't be angry. It's not worth it." Yu Yuetong sighed and said wearily, "Anyway, I'm already divorced from him. What he wants to do now has nothing to do with me. I just need to live my own life."
"Yue Tong, you..." David wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Yue Tong.
"David, I'm tired and want to go home to rest. Can you take me home?" Yu Yuetong rubbed her temples wearily, her tone pleading.
Seeing this, David didn't say anything more, nodded, started the car, and drove towards Yu Yuetong's house.
Neither of them spoke the rest of the journey, and the carriage fell silent once more. Yu Yuetong gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window, her mind replaying the events that had just transpired, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Three years after her divorce, she thought she had moved on, but Qin Reng's appearance today easily stirred up her heart and disrupted her peaceful life once again.
David parked his car downstairs at Yu Yuetong's apartment building, turned to look at her, his eyes full of worry: "Yu Yuetong, are you really alright? Should I come upstairs to keep you company?"
"No need, David, I'm really fine. I'm just a little tired and want to rest early." Yu Yuetong forced a smile and declined his offer.
"Alright then, get some rest. Call me anytime if anything happens," David said, still concerned.
"Okay, I understand. You should go back and get some rest too." Yu Yuetong nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
After watching David's car leave, Yu Yuetong turned and walked upstairs. Just as she reached the entrance of the building, she saw a familiar figure standing there.
It's Qin Reng!
How did he get here? How did he know she lived here?
Yu Yuetong was startled and instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but Qin Reng grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Let me go!" Yu Yuetong struggled with all her might, but she couldn't break free from his grip.
"I won't let go! Unless you tell me why you're avoiding me?" Qin Reng held her tightly, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal.
"Why should I avoid you? Qin Reng, how many times do I have to tell you? We're over!" Yu Yuetong glared at the handsome face so close to hers and said through gritted teeth.
"The end? Who said it's over? Yu Yuetong, stop fooling yourself! Do you dare look me in the eye and say you have no feelings for me at all?" Qin Reng suddenly lowered his head, forcing her to look him in the eye, his tone filled with hurt and anger.
Yu Yuetong felt flustered and confused by his burning gaze. She tried to dodge, but he held her chin firmly, preventing her from escaping.
"Qin Reng, you..."
"Look at me! Answer me!" Qin Reng interrupted her, his tone even more forceful.
Their eyes met, and Yu Yuetong clearly saw the flame burning in his eyes—an emotion she could neither ignore nor resist.
Her heart was in turmoil.
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat. The burning emotion in Qin Reng's eyes felt both strange and inexplicably familiar. Three years is enough time to change many things. The man she once deeply loved now stood before her, yet he seemed veiled, making it impossible for her to see him clearly.
"Qin Reng, you're drunk." Yu Yuetong turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, her tone regaining its usual calmness. "I've already said it, we're over. Why are you still clinging to me?"
"End?" Qin Reng sneered, suddenly closing in on her until their noses almost touched. "Yu Yuetong, you really have a bad memory! Who was it that shamelessly insisted on marrying me? Who was it that swore they would love me forever? Now you're saying it's over, what do you take me for?"
"I..." Yu Yuetong was speechless. Back then, she was young and naive, blinded by love, which led her to agree to marry a man she didn't love. But in three years of marriage, she gave her heart, only to receive endless indifference and hurt.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Qin Reng looked at her pale face, his anger intensifying, but his tone softened a bit. "Yu Yuetong, do you know that for the past three years, I've been thinking about you every single day, thinking about you to the point of almost going crazy!"
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones, his voice low and hoarse: "Yuantong, give me another chance, okay? Let's start over. I will spend my whole life making it up to you, loving you, spoiling you, and never letting you suffer any more grievances."
Yu Yuetong was stunned by his sudden confession. In the past three years, he had never said a word of love to her, but now, after she left him so resolutely, he made such a heartfelt confession. How could she believe it?
She pushed him away forcefully and sneered, "Qin Reng, who do you think you are? You think you can start and end things as you please? What makes you think I'll be manipulated by you time and time again?"
Qin Reng was stung by the hatred in her eyes. He reached out to grab her, but she slapped his hand away without hesitation.
"Don't touch me!" Yu Yuetong took a step back, creating distance between them, and looked at him coldly. "Qin Reng, I'm saying this one last time, it's over between us! Don't come looking for me again!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran into the stairwell without looking back, leaving Qin Reng standing there alone, his face terribly gloomy.
"Yu Yuetong, do you think you can escape?" He clenched his fists, a determined glint in his eyes. "I won't give up easily. You can only be mine!"
The next day, as soon as Yu Yuetong arrived at the company, David called her into his office.
