Chapter 1251: Chapter 1249: Hard to Forget

”I said I have plans tonight. If Philip wants to invite someone to dinner, he can find someone else.”

Shen Yuting spoke resolutely.

”Miss Shen, don’t be so shameless. Young Master Philip has been polite to you because he’s a gentleman, but don’t push your luck. If you keep slapping Young Master Philip’s face repeatedly, you’ll anger him, and the consequences are unimaginable!”

The young man stared coldly at Shen Yuting and spoke directly.

”Oh? I’m curious to see what kind of consequences there would be.”

A playful voice abruptly sounded from behind the young man. He turned around, only to see a young man walking over—it was Xiao Yifeng.

”Who are you? Kid, mind your own business!”

The foreign youth looked at Xiao Yifeng and shouted coldly.

When Shen Yuting saw Xiao Yifeng appear, a look of shock flashed in her eyes. Her pupils widened, and she covered her open mouth in disbelief with her hand.

”What if I insist on meddling?”

Xiao Yifeng smiled slightly as he looked at the young man.

”Kid, do you even know who I am? Let me tell you, I was sent by Young Master Philip. If you meddle, be careful of the consequences.”

The young man stared at Xiao Yifeng and spoke arrogantly with a threatening tone.

”Philip? Never heard of him. I’m telling you now, leave my sight immediately, or I’ll make you realize the consequences of offending me!”

Xiao Yifeng stared coldly at the young man, raising his voice.

”Well, well, kid. Clearly, you’re not a student of LD University. Otherwise, how could you not know Young Master Philip? He’s the grandson of Duke Feluk of Country Y’s royal family, the most distinguished figure of Country Y!”

The young man spoke arrogantly, his demeanor full of pride, as he stared at Xiao Yifeng.

Slap!

Without wasting another word, Xiao Yifeng slapped him across the face, sending the young man flying instantly.

”You’ve talked too much nonsense. If you don’t vanish now, I don’t care about dukes or nobility—I’ll send you straight to Hell!”

Xiao Yifeng’s voice was filled with icy menace. The young man trembled in fear, terror flashing in his eyes as he glanced at Xiao Yifeng before scurrying away quickly.

As the young man disappeared, Xiao Yifeng turned his gaze to Shen Yuting. Their eyes met, and for a moment, invisible sparks seemed to fly between them, as though time had frozen.

It felt as if, in that instant, the world was reduced to just the two of them. Silently, they gazed at each other, saying nothing.

Finally, after several moments, Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but speak.

”Are you alright?”

”Yeah.”

Shen Yuting nodded, her eyes flashing with a hint of emotion.

”How about you? Have you been doing okay lately?”

Shen Yuting looked at Xiao Yifeng and asked softly.

”I’m alright.”

Xiao Yifeng responded calmly before sighing. ”Why did you leave back then? Was it because of me? And that painting... does it mean you like me?”

Shen Yuting’s expression shifted subtly. A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and her head lowered involuntarily.

”I...”

Shen Yuting opened her mouth, but no words came out.

”I’m sorry for making you drift alone, far away from home.”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Shen Yuting and said with some guilt.

”This isn’t your fault. It was my own decision to go abroad. Yes, I fell for you, but I didn’t want to destroy the relationship between you and your fiancée, so I chose to leave. Maybe that was the best solution for both of us.”

Shen Yuting looked at Xiao Yifeng and spoke.

”And now? Do you still have feelings for me?”

Xiao Yifeng stared at Shen Yuting, his eyes gleaming.

Shen Yuting was at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.

Did she still have feelings for Xiao Yifeng? Yes!

Even though she had been abroad for nearly six months, she had tried to let go and forget about Xiao Yifeng’s existence.

But she couldn’t do it. At some point, Xiao Yifeng had become deeply embedded in her heart, making it impossible for her to forget him.

Only now did Shen Yuting realize that once you fall in love with someone, trying to forget them is no easy task. Sometimes, as time passes, rather than fading, those feelings grow even deeper.

”I think I already know the answer.”

A slight smile appeared on Xiao Yifeng’s lips as he looked at Shen Yuting. He stepped forward and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Stunned by Xiao Yifeng’s sudden hug, Shen Yuting froze. Her expression was blank, caught completely off guard.

”Come back to Tianhai with me. Your parents must miss you a lot. If some things can’t be forgotten, don’t force yourself to forget them. Follow your heart—that’s the only way you won’t have regrets.”

Holding Shen Yuting close, Xiao Yifeng spoke softly.

After a moment, he released Shen Yuting and gazed at her intently.

His gaze caused Shen Yuting’s face to flush red. Lowering her head, she murmured, ”I don’t want to have regrets, either. If you didn’t have a fiancée, I would definitely take a chance and pursue you... but unfortunately...”

”Actually, I don’t just have one woman, my fiancée.”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Shen Yuting and said bluntly.

”What do you mean?”

Shen Yuting’s expression shifted as she looked at Xiao Yifeng, confused.

Xiao Yifeng proceeded to tell Shen Yuting about his situation, including his relationships with the other women in his life.

After hearing everything, Shen Yuting’s eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn’t anticipated such a revelation.

”What do you think? Seems unbelievable, doesn’t it? Do I come off as a player?”

Xiao Yifeng spoke nonchalantly.

”It does sound unbelievable. You do seem a bit like a player, but I know you’re different from those truly frivolous playboys. Otherwise, those women of yours couldn’t possibly get along with each other so harmoniously.”

Shen Yuting looked at Xiao Yifeng and replied.

”What about you? Can you accept it?”

Xiao Yifeng fixed his gaze on Shen Yuting.

”I...”

Shen Yuting opened her mouth but didn’t answer, hesitation flashing in her eyes.

”Let me think about it, okay?”

Shen Yuting said softly.

”Alright. I can give you time, but I hope that no matter whether you can accept me or not, you’ll come back to Tianhai.”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Shen Yuting and spoke.

”Okay.”

Shen Yuting nodded.

”Darling!”

At that moment, Fei Xuelin appeared and called out.

”You’re out so soon. Is it over?”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Fei Xuelin and asked.

”Yes, I’ve picked about ten or so. And who is this?”

Fei Xuelin nodded and turned her gaze to Shen Yuting.

”Let me introduce you. This is Shen Yuting, a friend of mine from China. And this is Fei Xuelin, one of the women in my life.”

Xiao Yifeng introduced the two women.
