Sweet Pet: Xiao Ye's Reborn Little Wife

The colleagues around were whispering to each other, their eyes moving back and forth between Lin Yue and Gu Ran, like countless scorching rays, making Lin Yue feel hot on her face. The awkward emotion was like a surging tide, instantly drowning her.

Her eyes wandered, sometimes glancing at the ground, sometimes glancing to the side. She didn't dare meet Gu Ran's gaze, much less the curious gazes of her colleagues. Those gazes seemed filled with countless questions and speculations, making Lin Yue feel as if she were trapped in a transparent glass case, with nowhere to escape.

Lin Yue's heart seemed to be tangled up in countless threads, with all sorts of complex emotions intertwined, making her feel extremely confused and helpless. She desperately wanted to find a suitable excuse to quickly escape this embarrassing situation, but her legs seemed to be fixed in place by some invisible force, unable to move.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Gu Ran. That familiar and kind figure was still standing tall as a pine tree, and those deep eyes were like mysterious lakes, which made her heart tremble suddenly. She really couldn't bear to miss this rare opportunity to meet Gu Ran so easily. After all, there were too many concerns and unspoken words between them.

Those words were like precious treasures buried deep in his heart, waiting to be revealed. Gu Ran silently watched Lin Yue, a hint of helplessness and heartache in his eyes. His heart was also filled with contradictions and struggles. He knew that Lin Yue returned to China to avoid him, but didn't he also want to explain everything clearly?

It was just that the reasons that stood between them, like a huge mountain range, forced them to remain silent. Those reasons were like an invisible mountain, pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.

"Lin Yue, can we find a place to talk?" Gu Ran finally broke the silence. His voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible power. It was like a gentle breeze, gently brushing past Lin Yue's ears and causing ripples in her heart.

Lin Yue hesitated, a fierce internal struggle brewing within her. On the one hand, she longed to have a good talk with Gu Ran, to untie the knot between them; on the other, she dreaded facing those difficult questions and the potential consequences. Ultimately, reason succumbed to emotion, and she nodded slightly.

They slowly left the bustling crowd and strolled toward a nearby cafe. Along the way, they both remained silent, a tacit understanding. The air around them seemed to be infected by this stillness, becoming tense and subtle. Lin Yue's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, beating ever more violently, as if a deer were running rampant in her chest.

She couldn't predict the outcome of this conversation: would it clear up the misunderstanding or exacerbate their pain? Speculations and anxieties swirled in her mind, leaving her feeling overwhelmed. Finally, they arrived at the café. As they searched for a seat, they tacitly chose a relatively quiet corner. A waiter quickly approached, enthusiastically asking if they could help.

Lin Yue, distracted, casually ordered a coffee, while Gu Ran ordered a latte. After the waiter left, the two sank into silence again. Lin Yue anxiously stirred her coffee, her eyes wandering, unsure how to begin. Gu Ran stared at her quietly, his eyes filled with expectation and encouragement.

The aroma of coffee filled the air, but it couldn't ease the tension between them. It was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them. Lin Yue gently stirred her coffee, her eyes lowered, not daring to meet Gu Ran's. Her heart raced, a fluttering deer in her chest.

"Lin Yue, why are you returning? Is it because of me?" Gu Ran was the first to break the silence, his voice gentle yet firm. It flowed like a clear stream, slowly flowing into Lin Yue's heart. But if you listened closely, you could still hear a hint of doubt and expectation in the man's voice, like a lost child searching for answers.

Lin Yue looked up and met Gu Ran's eyes, a flicker of panic in her eyes. "I... I just wanted to come back and develop my career. There are more opportunities here." Her voice trembled slightly, and it was clear that even she felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

Gu Ran frowned slightly, clearly not believing Lin Yue's excuse. "Is that really all? Lin Yue, you know I understand you. You're not someone who would easily run away." Gu Ran's eyes were fixed on Lin Yue, as if to penetrate her soul.

Lin Yue's heart tightened, knowing that Gu Ran had seen through her thoughts. She lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Gu Ran, there are too many problems between us. I don't know how to face them." Lin Yue's voice was filled with helplessness and pain.

Gu Ran sighed deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness and heartache. "Lin Yue, I know there are problems between us, but we can solve them together. Why choose to escape?" Gu Ran's voice was filled with a hint of urgency.

Lin Yue's eyes glistened with tears, and her voice choked. "Gu Ran, you don't understand. Some things can't be solved just by wanting to. The gap between us is too big. We come from different worlds, and our future is full of uncertainty." Lin Yue's eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.

Gu Ran held Lin Yue's hand, his eyes filled with determination. "Lin Yue, I don't care about the gap between us. I only care about you. As long as we love each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved." Gu Ran's voice was full of affection.

Lin Yue's heart was moved. She looked into Gu Ran's eyes and felt his sincerity and determination. She knew that Gu Ran truly loved her, but she couldn't shake the fear and insecurity in her heart. "Gu Ran, I'm afraid we'll get hurt. I'm afraid our love will become vulnerable in the face of reality." Lin Yue's voice was filled with helplessness.

Gu Ran held Lin Yue's hand tightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and encouragement. "Lin Yue, don't be afraid. We will face this together. I believe our love can overcome all difficulties." Gu Ran's voice was full of confidence.

"Let's face it together, okay? I don't want to lose you again." The man's voice was firm and gentle, like a brave warrior guarding his home.

Lin Yue's heart was filled with contradictions and struggles. She didn't know how to make a decision. She longed to be with Gu Ran, but was also afraid of facing the uncertainty of the future. She finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Gu Ran gently wiped away Lin Yue's tears, his eyes filled with heartache. "Lin Yue, don't cry. I will respect whatever decision you make. But I hope you can give our love a chance and don't give up so easily." Gu Ran's voice was full of expectation.

Lin Yue looked at Gu Ran, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that Gu Ran was someone worth entrusting her life to. She took a deep breath and then said slowly, "Gu Ran, I need some time to think about it." There was a hint of hesitation in Lin Yue's voice.

Gu Ran nodded, his eyes full of understanding and expectation. "Okay, I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you." Gu Ran's voice was full of determination.

They sat in the café for a long time, the minutes slipping by as they lost themselves in conversation, oblivious to the world around them. The sun gradually set, filtering through the window and casting a golden glow over them. This light, like a warm coat, gently draped over them, bringing a sense of peace and warmth.

As the sun set, they finally left the café in silence. This conversation didn't completely resolve their issues, but it allowed them to more clearly understand their deepest feelings for each other. Although the road ahead was uncertain and filled with unknown challenges, they firmly believed that as long as they had love in their hearts, they could overcome all difficulties and obstacles. They were willing to work together to face the future together.
