Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 324 - 325: Changed My Mind

Leng Weichen saw her stubbornly sitting on the chair, refusing to stand up. His brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "There’s no need for you to keep hiding like this. You haven’t done anything shameful."

"Yes, I haven’t!" Lin Banxia lowered her head and said anxiously, "But I don’t want to see him, at least, not here. Leng Weichen, think of a way to take me away."

Lin Banxia admitted that she didn’t have the courage to face them. She didn’t even know why she felt this way.

In the normal course of events, shouldn’t she be storming over with confidence to question Huo Yanting?

"Lin Banxia, I always thought you were bold, but I didn’t expect you’d turn into a coward." Leng Weichen used reverse psychology, trying to provoke her into confronting her fears.

Lin Banxia trembled violently upon hearing the word "coward," then lifted her gaze to stare straight at Leng Weichen.

In a flash, a scene from her past life came to mind—Leng Weichen pointing at her drunken self, shouting, "You’re a coward. Stuck in a hellish marriage, yet you lack the courage to leave. Lin Banxia, get a divorce!"

She didn’t expect him to call her a coward again—still the same three words.

Lin Banxia stood up from the chair in a daze. Her eyes lingered on Leng Weichen’s face briefly before she let out a laugh.

It was wistful, almost incredulous.

Leng Weichen’s heart wavered from her laugh. He couldn’t understand why she was smiling in a moment like this.

"I think... I should listen to you for once!" She suddenly raised her chin slightly and met Leng Weichen’s gaze, her voice firm.

If, in her past life, she had acted decisively and discussed divorce with Huo Qinglin the day after Leng Weichen yelled at her, perhaps her life wouldn’t have been so pathetic, perhaps she wouldn’t have lost her life.

Now that fate had repeatedly given her a chance to choose, this time, whether it was about love or anything else, she would choose the opposite path.

She wouldn’t be a coward, nor would she live so miserably again. To love boldly and to hate unapologetically—only then could she live without regret or remorse.

Leng Weichen stared at the light in her eyes, suddenly feeling a bit lost. Her gaze seemed to pierce through time, profound and hollow, as if he could fall into it and uncover all her secrets.

"Banxia... you seem like a completely different person," Leng Weichen murmured, uncertain whether to feel thrilled or worried.

Lin Banxia lowered her head self-deprecatingly, "I haven’t changed—it’s this world that’s become far too incomprehensible."

A moment ago, the man who had professed his love for her was now holding another woman, standing under the lights, accepting everyone’s blessings.

Perhaps it was time for her to go along with it and walk up to them, offer her congratulations.

"Let’s go!" This time, it was Lin Banxia who took the initiative and started walking forward. After a couple of steps, she paused, turned back to Leng Weichen, and asked, "Can I borrow your arm for support? Help me muster some courage."

Leng Weichen was momentarily stunned but quickly closed the distance between them, walking alongside her. He extended his large hand, and Lin Banxia linked arms with him very properly.

The two of them traversed through the crowd, soon arriving in front of the most dazzling pair in the room.

Chu Tingting was the first to see Lin Banxia because she happened to be turning in that direction while receiving congratulations and greetings from the crowd.

When she spotted Lin Banxia, she was momentarily stunned, then her shocked eyes shifted to Leng Weichen beside her, making her even more surprised.

"Yan Ting, look quickly—guess who’s here?" Chu Tingting suddenly clenched Huo Yanting’s arm tightly, speaking with a radiant smile.
