Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 202 - 195: Bai Yiran, I Miss You
Bai Yiran underestimated the briefness of five minutes. She felt that the phone call had barely been hung up before five minutes had passed. Throughout those five minutes, she hadn’t even moved, still leaning against the wall.
Her mind was blank, unsure of what was going to happen next or what she should do.
First, the sound of a car door, followed by footsteps, then a knock on the door.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang continuously and urgently, with almost no pause or gap. Each ring seemed to strike at Bai Yiran’s heart as she paced back and forth in front of the door, holding her phone.
She knew she was avoiding, avoiding that heart-wrenching experience, avoiding that nightmare-like event. She didn’t want to remember the pain of being beaten and kicked like an ant, didn’t want to recall the despair of having a gun pointed at the back of her head, didn’t want to remember the heartbreak of losing her child.
She had clearly recovered well, as long as she didn’t see Leng Yichen, as long as she didn’t think of Leng Yichen, she could ignore everything!
The doorbell finally stopped, and Bai Yiran fixed her gaze on the door from afar.
A voice came from outside the door, "Girl, open the door. Otherwise, if I do something out of line and disturb the neighbors, it won’t be good."
Bai Yiran’s neighbors were her landlords, an elderly couple. If Leng Yichen really started behaving recklessly, he would inevitably disturb them.
Bai Yiran’s face twitched as she helplessly looked at the door. Facing Leng Yichen, everything felt powerless, futile...
In the end, Bai Yiran opened the door.
Leng Yichen stood at the door, taking in the entire house at a glance. It wasn’t large, totaling less than forty square meters. The furnishings inside were simple, with nothing unnecessary besides essential living items and furniture. A few instant noodle cups and sausages that Bai Yiran hadn’t eaten were still placed on the coffee table in the living room. Leng Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, surprised that his girl was living in such a place, eating such junk food.
Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Leng Yichen began to look up and down at Bai Yiran, who still stood at the doorway. She had changed, become more attractive, more captivating, making it difficult for him to look away and making him want to merge her into his very being.
Bai Yiran looked at Leng Yichen. After a year and a half of not seeing each other, they met again but seemed to no longer be in the same world, or perhaps they never were.
He was so high above, able to overlook everything. Yet, she remained her ordinary self, no matter how hard she tried, she would never keep up with Leng Yichen’s steps. Forcibly entering, she would only end up bruised and battered.
Perhaps, she was ultimately selfish, accepting Leng Yichen’s love for her while unable to accept the pain he brought her.
Bai Yiran stood at the door, not closing it; she was somewhat resistant to being alone in a confined space with Leng Yichen.
"Why don’t you close the door?" Leng Yichen stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards Bai Yiran.
Bai Yiran was forced to retreat by him, and as she reached the doorway, she tripped over the threshold, her whole body leaning backward.
With swift reflexes, Leng Yichen swiftly caught Bai Yiran in his arms, pressing her body tightly against his chest. The familiar touch sent waves of excitement through Leng Yichen.
Upon drawing closer, Bai Yiran detected the scent of alcohol on Leng Yichen—he had drunk too much...
"Let go of me! Let’s talk properly!" This was the first sentence Bai Yiran said to Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen grinned wickedly, freeing one hand to close the main door to Bai Yiran’s home, separating the inside world from the outside.
Bai Yiran could feel Leng Yichen’s hot breath on her face, an unsettling sensation.
"Bai Yiran! I miss you..."
