Lin Yue stood in front of Lu Tingxiao's private apartment, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She had just confessed everything to him—from stepping in as her sister Lin Wan's assistant to the threats from Jiang Chen, and her worries about her sister.
Her voice echoed in the empty office, trembling slightly, yet her gaze remained resolute.
Lu Tingxiao sat behind his desk, his deep-set eyes fixed on Lin Yue, his expression inscrutable. " Lin Yue, I know you are not Lin Wan." His voice was calm but carried an undeniable weight.
Lin Yue's heart sank; she hadn't expected Lu Tingxiao to already know the truth. "You... you know?" Her voice trembled with a mix of surprise and panic.
Lu Tingxiao nodded, pulling a photograph from his drawer and handing it to Lin Yue. "I noticed the differences between you from the very beginning."
The photo showed Lin Wan and Lu Tingxiao together, Lin Wan's smile radiant while Lu Tingxiao remarked, "But your eyes carry a hint of sadness."
A wave of complex emotions surged within Lin Yue, leaving her at a loss for words. "Mr. Lu, I..." she began, only to be interrupted by Lu Tingxiao.
" Lin Yue, my concern for you goes beyond a professional relationship." His voice softened, revealing a depth of feeling in his gaze.
Lin Yue felt dizzy; she had never imagined that Lu Tingxiao could harbor such feelings for her. "Mr. Lu, I... I can't hurt my sister." Her tone was firm.
Lu Tingxiao fell silent for a moment before standing up and walking over to Lin Yue. "I won't force you to make any decisions," he said in a low, powerful voice. "But I want you to know that I care about you."
Lin Yue's heart trembled; she didn't know how to face this sudden emotional revelation. "Mr. Lu, I..." she started again but was cut off once more.
"Come with me; I want to show you something." Lu Tingxiao led Lin Yue out of the office and into his private apartment.
The interior was simply yet elegantly decorated, each piece of furniture reflecting the owner's taste. Lu Tingxiao guided Lin Yue into his study, where a large photograph hung on the wall—a picture of a young woman.
"This is my first love, Lin Ji," Lu Tingxiao said, a hint of sadness in his voice. "She passed away, and I don't want to lose anyone else."
Lin Yue's heart was deeply touched as she looked at Lu Tingxiao, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Mr. Lu, I..." Her voice choked with emotion.
Lu Tingxiao gently held Lin Yue's hand, his gaze steady and resolute. "Lin Yue, I don't want to lose you." There was a hint of pleading in his voice.
Since the day she had been tricked into that abandoned factory, he had been frantic; he knew he could not afford to lose her.
Lin Yue felt a whirlwind of confusion, her heart filled with turmoil and contradiction. She knew she had to make a decision, one that would affect both her and her sister's future.
"Mr. Lu, I need time." Lin Yue's voice carried a note of determination; she needed time to sort through her feelings and thoughts.
Lu Tingxiao nodded, understanding Lin Yue's predicament. "I will give you time, but please remember, whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Lin Yue's heart trembled; she realized she had become ensnared in a complex emotional whirlpool, with Lu Tingxiao at its center.
Flustered, Lin Yue left the Lu Family home, unsure of how to face her own feelings and her sister.
She hesitated to return home, fearing the confrontation with her sister. Just as she pushed open the door, she found her sister sitting alone in the living room.
Gathering her courage, she prepared to tell her sister about her decision regarding the man named Lu Tingxiao.
Unexpectedly, her sister spoke first.
"Jie, I've thought it over. There are plenty of men out there, but there's only one sister."
Lu Tingxiao—she felt unworthy of him. He had never looked at her once; he wouldn't now, and he never would.
After saying that, she cried and threw herself into Lin Yue's arms.
"Sister, I wish you happiness."
Lin Wan cried even louder, and Lin Yue joined her in tears.
In that moment, they found reconciliation.
They cried through the night, and the next day, Lin Yue heard Lin Wan'er making a phone call.
"Mr. Lu, to become my brother-in-law, first you have to pass my test."
The warm autumn sun shone on the balcony, and Lin Yue felt a gentle warmth in her heart, as if she were walking on cotton, feeling soft all over.
She lay on the bed, gazing at her sister's face, filled with tenderness.
Ten minutes later, Lu Tingxiao's black BMW stopped downstairs.
He held a bouquet of red roses, handsome and tall, with an air of elegance.
Everything beautiful was just beginning.
