Chapter 2804: Chapter 2804: Identities Entwined by Fate (9)

Dan Tingye’s brows were tightly furrowed, his expression carrying a hint of barely noticeable heartache.

He knew he was truly caught, ensnared by her tears.

"I never intended to leave without a word. I called you, called for a long time, but couldn’t get through... I didn’t dare to leave..." Meimei cried for a long while before she finally spoke through sobs.

Just thinking about his earlier accusations made her tears fall like they cost nothing, streaming down relentlessly.

Dan Tingye was solely focused on wiping her tears, completely unresponsive to her words. After several seconds, his fingers suddenly froze, lowering his eyes in shock to look at her.

"What did you just say? You called me?" Damn calls, he hadn’t seen any of them!

No, she said she couldn’t get through, couldn’t... During his meetings, the signal must have been blocked, no wonder she couldn’t reach him.

So, she hadn’t intended to sneak away.

"Called me, and then what? Still wanted to leave, what’s the difference?" Dan Tingye’s expression darkened, his voice turning cold again.

A slap and leaving, or giving a candy and then leaving, made no difference to him.

"Yu Xin, do you really not know what you mean to me?"

"I..."

Meimei swallowed hard, her small face turning habitually towards Dan Tingye’s embrace, smearing her tears and snot on him. Only after feeling comfortable did she speak.

"I don’t know." Just four simple words.

She really didn’t know and was afraid to find out.

Every time she finally mustered the courage to get close to him, someone would always tell her they weren’t suitable.

Originally, she really wanted to leave, but the moment she picked up the suitcase, she regretted it.

Even if staying meant watching him with Youyou, it would hurt, but not seeing him would hurt even more... She couldn’t bear to leave.

She called him many times, wanting to ask him directly if he truly liked Youyou. If she could hear his answer, maybe she could give up.

But no matter how she tried, she couldn’t reach him, as if heaven had given her a perfect excuse to keep delaying, not leaving.

"Fine, very fine! Don’t know, don’t know! Yu Xin, you really know how to anger me!" Dan Tingye gritted his teeth.

Seeing her nervously clutching his shirt, her big red eyes staring at him like a rabbit, he was truly at a loss whether to be angry or not.

Flipping from the bed to stand up, he picked her up and turned to walk out.

After a few steps, something came to mind, and he turned back, placing Meimei on a nearby chair, striding over to the wardrobe and taking out a piece of clothing.

Walking back to her side, he reached out to remove the T-shirt on her that was now barely covering anything.

"I can do it myself..." Meimei meekly spoke upon seeing the clothes in his hand, her deer-like big eyes, her little face already flushed red.

Dan Tingye’s face wasn’t much better, his gaze almost stuck on her.

Lips slightly parted, "What part of you haven’t I seen before? Thinking of getting shy now, it’s already too late." Last time when she was drunk, she had forcibly pulled him to help her change clothes.

What should and shouldn’t have been seen, he had seen it all.

His unintentional words caused the atmosphere in the room to shift instantly, the two of them standing face to face, eyes locked, neither speaking first.
