Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 486 - 467: The First Fit of Anger

The man’s unhappiness was written all over his handsome face, leaving Lin Banxia flustered.

Yan Ting straightened his posture, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed outside with a slightly downcast expression. "You’re asking me these questions — what do you want? To leave me and the child?"

Lin Banxia froze, staring at the tall, upright figure of the man. She hadn’t expected him to guess her intention to leave.

It was as if Yan Ting’s anger had been instantly provoked by her words. He turned his head, locking his gaze onto her. "Banxia, all this time, I’ve felt like you’ve been hiding something from me. Isn’t it time for you to be honest with me?"

Lin Banxia’s entire body stiffened, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at him.

"Yan Ting..."

"While I’ve loved you wholeheartedly, shouldn’t you also be open and share everything with me?" Yan Ting suddenly stepped closer, his hands once again bracing against the surface in front of her, his handsome face alarmingly close to hers.

His slightly tired eyes burned intensely as they locked onto her dark, wide eyes. "Are you always ready to leave me at any moment?"

Lin Banxia froze once more, fear suddenly gripping her. She was afraid — afraid that Yan Ting might already know about her past.

"Why... why are you suddenly asking me this? Yan Ting, can you stop pressuring me like this? I’ve never thought about leaving you. Truly, never!" Tears inexplicably welled up in Lin Banxia’s eyes, and a wave of sorrow and grievance washed over her.

Yan Ting’s gaze lingered on the tears rapidly pooling in her eyes, his deep stare momentarily faltering.

"Banxia, if you weren’t thinking about leaving me, then why did you write ’life countdown’ in your notebook?" Yan Ting realized that his tone earlier might have scared her, but his own unease had erupted alongside her earlier questions.

Lin Banxia inhaled sharply, her beautiful eyes widening. "How do you know about my notebook? You... you had someone investigate me?"

A trace of helplessness appeared on Yan Ting’s handsome face, but he still felt that she must be hiding something from him.

"Banxia, I just wanted to understand you better..."

"When exactly did this happen? When did you look through my notebook?" Lin Banxia suddenly felt an overwhelming sadness and grievance, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Banxia..."

"Yan Ting, answer me!"

"When you went to the United States, I had someone go into your room..."

"Yan Ting, how could you do this?" Lin Banxia suddenly roared in anger. "You don’t trust me at all, do you?"

Yan Ting’s gaze bore down on her tear-streaked face with intensity. "No, Banxia, you don’t understand how important you are to me. I need to know everything about you." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"But you... you actually had someone go through my things. Yan Ting, you have no respect for me!" Lin Banxia knew his intentions had been well-meaning, but she was still furious and deeply hurt.

Only then did Yan Ting realize that she seemed genuinely angry, as if her dignity had been trampled.

"Banxia, I’m sorry. I admit I was wrong. Please don’t be mad at me, okay? I just wanted to understand you better and show you I care!" Yan Ting finally panicked, realizing that her anger made his heart race uncontrollably.

Lin Banxia suddenly propped herself up, quickly got off the bed, and dashed toward the door.

"Banxia... Don’t go!" Yan Ting, realizing she was trying to leave, reached out with a large hand and easily grabbed her slender wrist, his deep voice pleading, "Forgive me!"

Lin Banxia’s tears fell even harder, her heart aching with a mix of pain and complexity.
