Love and choices across time and space

Amid the bustling city, sunlight sprinkled the streets and alleys like fine golden dust. Lin Wan'er wore a pale blue chiffon dress, delicately embroidered with lace, which swayed gently with her graceful steps. Her long hair flowed down to her waist like black satin, a few strands gently swaying in the breeze, adding a touch of softness. Her fair skin was as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and her delicate features were particularly bright and charming in the sunlight, especially her eyes, which were as bright as stars and sparkled with anticipation and happiness.

Li Yifeng, meanwhile, wore a well-cut black suit, a white shirt with a blue tie, and looked tall and handsome. His hair was meticulously styled, and he wore his signature gentle smile. His eyes were filled with such affection that they could melt anyone.

That day, Li Yifeng arranged to meet Lin Wan'er at a romantic Western restaurant in the city center. The entrance to the restaurant was filled with colorful flowers, their fragrance wafting into the air. When Lin Wan'er came into view, Li Yifeng's eyes lit up instantly, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

"Wan'er, you are here. You are as beautiful as a fairy today." Li Yifeng walked towards her quickly, holding a bouquet of gorgeous red roses in his hand, each of which bloomed warmly and brilliantly.

A shy blush appeared on Lin Wan'er's face, "Yifeng, you praise me like this again." Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring.

Li Yifeng gently held Lin Wan'er's hand and handed the rose to her arms, "This bouquet of flowers pales in comparison to you." His voice was low and magnetic, with endless tenderness.

Entering the restaurant, the melodious sound of a violin flowed through the air like the gurgling of water, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The restaurant's decor was exquisite and elegant, with artworks adorning the walls and silverware and flickering candlelight on the dining table. Li Yifeng carefully pulled out a chair for Lin Wan'er, and after she gracefully sat down, he slowly took a seat opposite her.

Throughout the meal, Li Yifeng's eyes never left Lin Wan'er. He would occasionally pick up food for her, each gesture filled with care and love. "Wan'er, try this French-style baked snails, it's their signature dish." His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he wanted her to taste the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded, gently putting the food into her mouth, "Well, it's really delicious, Yifeng, you should eat it too." Her eyes were full of sweetness.

Li Yifeng looked at her satisfied expression, feeling secretly proud in his heart, but he still kept a loving smile on his face, "As long as you like, I will bring you here often in the future."

After dinner, the two strolled hand in hand through a nearby park. The park was shaded by green trees, blossoming with flowers, and birds singing happily in the branches. Li Yifeng gently put his arm around Lin Wan'er's shoulders. "Wan'er, every moment with you makes me feel incredibly happy," his voice sounded especially gentle in the breeze.

Lin Wan'er leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, "Yifeng, me too. I hope we can continue like this."

However, this seemingly affectionate attitude was nothing but a lie carefully woven by Li Yifeng. Deep down, he was plotting how to quickly acquire the Lin family's wealth and status.

Back home, Lin Wan'er's face was still filled with a happy smile. In the living room, Lin's mother was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater. Seeing her daughter come back, she put down her work.

"Wan'er, how did you get along with Li Yifeng today?" Mother Lin's eyes were full of concern.

Lin Wan'er sat down next to her mother excitedly, "Mom, Yifeng is so good to me. I really feel that I am the luckiest girl in the world." Her eyes were shining, as if hiding countless little stars.

Mother Lin frowned slightly and gently held her daughter's hand. "Wan'er, you must listen to your father. You should be more careful and don't let love get to your head."

Lin Wan'er shook her head disapprovingly, "Mom, Dad must have misunderstood Yifeng. He really loves me, I can feel it."

Mother Lin sighed helplessly, "I hope we are overthinking it. I just hope you can always be happy."

Meanwhile, Li Yifeng returned to his humble rental apartment, the smile on his face instantly vanishing without a trace. He roughly ripped off his tie and tossed it on the sofa. "Hmph, that silly girl Lin Wan'er is so easy to coax."

In the days that followed, Li Yifeng's care for Lin Wan'er became even more meticulous. Early in the morning, he would arrive downstairs at Lin Wan'er's house and serve her a loving breakfast that he had made himself. The breakfast was rich and varied, with steaming hot dumplings, sweet and savory eight-treasure porridge, and freshly baked egg tarts.

"Wan'er, you must eat a good breakfast so that you can have the energy to greet the new day." Li Yifeng's voice was full of concern, and his eyes were full of "love".

Lin Wan'er took the breakfast, her heart filled with emotion, "Yifeng, you are always so thoughtful."

At night, Li Yifeng would accompany Lin Wan'er to watch the stars. They would go to the top of a mountain in the city, lie on the soft grass, and look up at the vast starry sky.

"Wan'er, look at the brightest star. It shines as brightly as you do in my heart." Li Yifeng said, pointing to the sky.

Lin Wan'er leaned in his arms, "Yifeng, when I'm with you, I feel like the world has become a better place."

Once, Lin Wan'er accidentally fell down the stairs and sprained her foot. When Li Yifeng learned about it, he was extremely anxious and rushed to Lin Wan'er's side as quickly as possible.

"Wan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Yifeng's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

Without hesitation, he carried Lin Wan'er on his back and headed straight for the hospital. Along the way, his steps were quick and steady, and he kept comforting Lin Wan'er, "Wan'er, we'll be at the hospital soon. You'll be fine."

At the hospital, Li Yifeng was busy running around, registering, paying, and getting medicine, without stopping for a moment. His eyes were always focused on Lin Wan'er, afraid that she would feel any discomfort.

"Yifeng, I'm fine, don't be too tired." Lin Wan'er looked at his tired appearance and said with concern.

Li Yifeng gently held her hand and said, "As long as you can get better soon, everything I do will be worth it."

After Lin Wan'er's best friend Su Yao learned that she was injured, she also rushed to the hospital to visit her. Seeing Li Yifeng's performance, Su Yao still had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

"Wan'er, I hope he can always be so good to you." Su Yao said to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er nodded firmly, "Yaoyao, Yifeng is sincere to me, don't worry."

As the days passed, Lin Wan'er fell deeper and deeper into Li Yifeng's disguise of affection. She had completely believed that Li Yifeng was her destiny.

Li Yifeng felt that the time was right and began to tentatively raise some topics about the Lin family's property with Lin Wan'er.

"Wan'er, I don't care about your family's money, I only care about you. But sometimes I also think that if we can have more financial foundation, we can go to more places and do more things we want to do." There was a hint of helplessness and longing in Li Yifeng's tone.

Lin Wan'er didn't realize his intention. "Yifeng, as long as we love each other and work hard together, everything will be possible."

Li Yifeng was secretly proud of himself and continued, "Wan'er, look at how big your family's business is. If we can borrow some resources, we can realize our dream faster."

Lin Wan'er was slightly stunned, "Yifeng, I don't want to rely on my family."

Li Yifeng quickly said, "Wan'er, that's not what I meant. I just hope we can have a better life."

Meanwhile, Lin's father had discovered more about Li Yifeng during his investigation. He discovered that Li Yifeng had a shameful past, had cheated on other girls, and had accumulated a lot of debts.

Father Lin decided to have a good talk with Lin Wan'er and let her see Li Yifeng's true face.

"Wan'er, Dad has something very important to tell you." Father Lin's expression was serious and solemn.

Lin Wan'er looked at her father with a puzzled look on her face. "Dad, what's going on? You look so serious."

Father Lin placed the information he had found in front of Lin Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, Li Yifeng approached you for a purpose. He doesn't really love you. He's just after our family's money."

Lin Wan'er looked at the information, her heart filled with shock and disbelief, "Dad, this is impossible. There must be something wrong. Yifeng is so good to me."

Father Lin looked at his daughter distressedly, "Wan'er, Daddy won't lie to you. These are all evidence. His previous actions were all disguises. Wake up."

Lin Wan'er shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Dad, I don't believe it. I'm going to find Yifeng and ask him clearly."

After saying that, Lin Wan'er rushed out despite her father's obstruction. She wanted to find Li Yifeng and ask him to give her an explanation.
