Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 457 - 438: She Cannot Tolerate This Speck of Sand

Lin Banxia listened to his words and cried even harder. She realized that her heart was entirely in this man’s hands, rising and falling with him. This feeling was truly unbearable.

Yet, she couldn’t stop herself from wanting to believe him, because he was the only man who had ever treated her well.

"If you want me to trust you, fine. Go cancel your engagement with Chu Tingting." Lin Banxia suddenly issued a condition.

Yan Ting’s expression froze momentarily, but within just two seconds, he made his decision.

"Alright, I’ll bring up canceling the engagement tomorrow!" Yan Ting resolved to deal with this bothersome matter once and for all.

Lin Banxia’s words were mere venting of frustration, yet she hadn’t expected Yan Ting to actually take them seriously.

When she heard that he truly intended to cancel the engagement tomorrow, Lin Banxia was even more shocked than he was.

"You... really?" Lin Banxia looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, I’ve decided. There’s no way I can be with Chu Tingting. Better to rip off the bandage quickly. Instead of pretending with her day after day, it’s better to just explain everything to my grandfather directly." Yan Ting answered in a firm tone, showing no hint of wavering.

Lin Banxia suddenly felt her legs weaken and quickly ran toward the stairs.

In no time, she opened the door to the hall and hurried over to Yan Ting.

"If you tell your grandfather about canceling the engagement now, he’ll surely be furious. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Lin Banxia asked him with a complicated expression.

Yan Ting softened his gaze as he looked at her, speaking with guilt: "I can’t keep letting you get hurt because of me. If I don’t deal with this properly, I might keep doing things that end up hurting you in the future."

Lin Banxia listened to his sincere words and exhaled deeply: "Alright, I’ll hear your explanation. What exactly is going on between you and Chu Tingting?"

"When she was walking down the stairs, she pretended to trip. Then she said she was scared and asked me to carry her down!"

"So, you just carried her? You really are obedient!"

"Banxia, I know this incident really upset you, but I truly just carried her down the stairs. I didn’t have any other intentions toward her." Yan Ting struggled to find the words that would convey his sincerity.

"Are you saying it’s because you didn’t want to embarrass her in front of everyone?"

Yan Ting met her sarcastic gaze and admitted guiltily: "I was just helping her out!"

Lin Banxia, knowing a bit about Chu Tingting’s character, understood that this woman was quite scheming. At her birthday party, of course, she’d seize every opportunity to try to demonstrate how close she was to Yan Ting.

"I’m not trying to make a fuss with you, it’s just that those pictures of you carrying her were really infuriating." Lin Banxia muttered bitterly.

"I understand. I promise this won’t happen again!" Yan Ting admitted this was a mistake on his part.

Lin Banxia rolled her eyes at him: "Don’t make promises so quickly. If she schemes to make you do something even more outrageous next time, won’t I go crazy?"

"Do you think I’d let her play tricks on me again and again?" Yan Ting sneered coldly.

"I’m just worried you won’t see through her moves. After all, you have no idea what tricks she might use next." Lin Banxia thought Chu Tingting was indeed quite clever; even Yan Ting had fallen for her games.

"No matter what schemes she pulls, if she dares to make you sad again, I won’t let her off." Yan Ting declared coldly.

Lin Banxia gently leaned into his chest. Close against him, she finally felt at ease.

"Yan Ting, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I also want to be a generous and open-minded woman, but I can’t. I can’t do it. When I saw you carrying her, it felt like I was falling apart. I’m so selfish—I can’t tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes. Do you think I’m not understanding, not gracious enough?" Lin Banxia lamented, her voice muffled as she buried herself in his embrace.

Yan Ting chuckled softly and pressed a light kiss to her forehead. "Silly girl, I’m happy you’re jealous for me. It shows that you care about me."
