Have you ever cared about me?

  To be honest, Ye Yu is very beautiful.

  Delicate eyebrows, slender eyes, white teeth and cherry lips, a head of soft and long curly hair, set against a small face the size of a palm, with a slightly pale complexion. Her face, even when wet with tears, is still touching and pitiful to behold. She has a petite yet plump figure, her whole body nestled in Yan Baiyan's arms like an injured rabbit. This woman perfectly embodies the phrase "soft and fragrant in one's arms". Unfortunately, Yan Baiyan's expression doesn't quite match the scene.

  "Bo Yan." She tilted her face, unsure if she wanted to see him clearly or stop the tears from falling, her voice sounding more like a plea, "Take me tonight, I beg of you, take me."

  Nian Baiyan stood still, allowing her to tightly grasp his arm, his eyes calm and steady.

  He didn't flinch, and Ye Yu was stimulated, so she simply reached out to pull the clothes on her body. Tears as big as beans fell onto the carpet along her chin. Nian Boyan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter when he saw this, and he stretched out his hand to hold hers, but she struggled even more fiercely, and the shoulder strap of her skirt was pulled down, exposing her smooth shoulders to the air.

  "Can't you just help me? I'm going crazy, really crazy! I thought about it all night and this is the only way for me to completely forget him. Boyan, please, have mercy on me, we've been husband and wife, just pity me!"

  Nian Baiyan immediately shouted in a low voice, "Enough."

  Compared to her hysteria, he was too calm, and even his words were brief and powerful, yet a clear command with authority. Perhaps it was this calmness that made Ye Yu collapse, and tears suddenly froze in her eyes, which were like crystals in the center of a lake. After a long time, she trembled and said, "You are my husband, so even if we have an affair, it's justified, right?"

  "I won't touch you."

  "Then who will you meet? The women surrounding you, or your ambiguous female assistant?" Yu Ye retorted.

  Nian Baiyan's gaze cooled down a bit, without any response, and only faintly said, "It's late, you should get some rest."

  "Bo Yan." Ye Yu called out to him just as he was about to turn around, and seeing him stop in his tracks, she stepped forward again, her eyes trembling. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you. I'm just really confused, I don't know what to do. You're my husband, but have you ever cared about me? Don't you want to care about me or...do you find me disgusting?"

  "You misunderstood." At this moment, the helplessness and confusion in Ye Yu's eyes made Nian Boyan involuntarily think of Su Ye, that day she walked quietly on the street, her gaze was also as sorrowful. He took a deep breath secretly, then spoke with a slightly softer tone, "I won't touch you, this is what we agreed on before our marriage."

  Ye Yu was like a bird with its wings clipped, struggling to muster up the last bit of energy, wanting to grasp something but feeling helpless. She shook her head, her face pale and wan. "I regret it, Bo Yan, I know this is unfair to you." She looked up at his eyes, which were as deep and unfathomable as the ocean. "Maybe you'll think I'm selfish, but tonight I just wanted to give myself to you, I only want you to want me."

  "But Ye Yu, I don't want to." Nian Boyan's expression turned solemn, and he looked at her very seriously, word by word. "There are many ways to forget someone, you don't have to take this approach. You're a good girl, so you should understand that people can only love others after they learn to love themselves first. You don't need to, nor do you have any reason to abandon yourself for someone who isn't worth it."

  Ye Yu forgot to cry, staring at Nian Boyan with tearful eyes for a moment, and said after a long time, "Boyan, you've never tried to deeply love someone, so how can you understand my feelings?"

  Nian Baiyan let out a soft sigh, took the tissue from beside him and handed it to her, saying sincerely, "To be honest, I'm not good at comforting people. But, people are independent, there's no need to rely on someone to get through life. I've never deeply loved anyone, nor have I experienced the pain of a broken heart. However, Ye Yu, if one day I really fall head over heels in love with a woman, I'll definitely tell you."

  "Should I thank you for your honesty?" Ye Yu wrinkled her nose.

  "Yan Baiyan hooked his lips, 'This is the way you and I get along, you are honest with me, I can't hide from you.' After finishing, he pulled her back onto the bed, 'Also, don't drink again in the future.'"

  Ye Yu tightly closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them again, nodding at him as if she had made an important decision. When Yan Baiyan saw that she agreed, his gaze slightly warmed up, "Get some good rest."

  "Where are you going to sleep?" Ye Yu couldn't help but ask as he walked to the door.

  Nian Baiyan stretched out his hand and opened the door of the house, saying faintly, "I'll sleep in the guest room."

  His elegant back figure was slightly thin and cool, the door of the house closed silently.
