Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin
Chapter 147 - 147 The look of sorrow

Chapter 147: The look of sorrow Chapter 147: The look of sorrow Wen Zhi met Liang Yin’s desolate gaze, feeling an indescribable unease in her heart. She lifted the corners of her lips into a faint smile and invited, “Would you like to come in and sit for a while?”

This was Qionglou.

As Wen Zhi naturally extended the invitation, it was inevitable for Liang Yin not to overthink. She and Shang Hexing had already confirmed their relationship…

“I’d rather not sit.” Liang Yin declined gently, his dark and complicated eyes locking onto Wen Zhi, “Can I talk to you alone for a moment?”

“Zhizhi, I’ll go inside and have some water first.” Meng Fan said, tactfully making her way inside.

If it had been anyone else, Meng Fan certainly wouldn’t have been so considerate, but since it was Liang Yin! Especially after seeing the deeply hurt look on Liang Yin’s face, she felt a bit sorry for him—after all, only she knew the reasons why Liang Yin repeatedly rejected Wen Zhi in the past.

Until recently, she was quite supportive of Liang Yin getting back together with Wen Zhi.

But who knew that Uncle would move faster, and from what it seemed, Zhizhi also preferred Uncle.

All she could say was that Liang Yin and Wen Zhi were fated but not destined for each other.

Chen Jinhai stood off to the side like a stone statue, showing no intention of leaving. Seeing Liang Yin’s gaze fixed on Chen Jinhai, who remained unmoved, Wen Zhi had no choice but to speak out, “Chen Zhu, I’d like to talk to Liang Yin for a moment.”

Chen Jinhai glanced at Liang Yin, then at Wen Zhi, and finally, he walked outside.

He had to stay outside to prevent Liang Yin from taking Miss Wen away.

Wen Zhi’s eyes scrolled over to Liang Yin, their gazes meeting. With a smile in her eyes and a gentle tone, she said, “How did you end up in such a state?”

His appearance was a mess, and so was his complexion.

Liang Yin forced a wry smile and confessed, “I’ve been looking for you these past few days, hardly resting at all.”

As soon as she heard this, Wen Zhi’s brows knitted together again quickly, “I’m sorry, I…”

Liang Yin knew what Wen Zhi was about to say and preempted her, “I didn’t say this to add to your burden.”

“Liang Yin.”

“Wen Zhi, I just feel a little aggrieved. I’ve been looking for you for a long time, searching everywhere, frantically searching for you, I…”

Wen Zhi pursed her lips, “I’m truly sorry.”

She apologized again.

Liang Yin’s throat tightened as he swallowed the bitterness, “It’s okay now, seeing you are well reassures me.”

As he spoke, Liang Yin couldn’t help but take another step towards Wen Zhi, standing right in front of her.

His towering figure cast a shadow over her. In his eyes, Wen Zhi could see not a trace of clarity or freshness, only weariness and exhaustion.

Especially the red blood vessels in his eyes, spreading all over the whites of his eyes.

“Why did you disappear all of a sudden?” He wanted to know more.

Wen Zhi lowered her eyelids, “It’s due to my own reasons.”

“What are you planning to do?” Liang Yin asked again.

Wen Zhi shook her head, “Not planning anything. Just think of it as me being capricious. Haven’t I always been like this? Always doing things that make everyone worried and puzzled. This time is no different.”

Liang Yin could clearly hear the evasion in her words, “So when do you plan to show up? The police are still looking for you, and your father is searching for you too.”

Thinking of something, Wen Zhi suddenly looked up sharply at Liang Yin, “Will you disclose my whereabouts to them?”

She was somewhat worried, yet she felt her worry was unnecessary.

After all, perhaps she still didn’t trust him enough.

Realizing this, Liang Yin let out a choked laugh, “If you don’t want it known, I will naturally keep it a secret for you. You can trust me on this, or perhaps, you don’t want to trust me.”

“That’s not it,” Wen Zhi sighed in relief and thanked him, “Thank you.”

With that, Liang Yin suddenly reached out his hand towards Wen Zhi’s cheek, intending to touch her, but she dodged away, “Liang Yin!”

Liang Yin asked her, “Have you been with Shang Hexing all these days?”

Wen Zhi didn’t avoid the subject, nodding lightly, “Yes.”

“Including going to Harbor City?”

“Mhm.”

“You two…”

“What?”

Liang Yin couldn’t refrain from asking, “Are you and Shang Hexing together now?”

He still asked that question.

Looking into Liang Yin’s eyes, Wen Zhi saw them brimming with sadness. Was it because she was with Shang Hexing that he felt this way?

But he didn’t like her.

He had always been rejecting her.

Why then did he look so heartbroken now?

“Wen Zhi.”

At that moment, a deep voice interrupted.

Wen Zhi’s gaze drifted past Liang Yin to see the figure of Shang Hexing; he had come back.
