100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

On the way back, the two remained silent.

Meng Tingwan told Cen Yi to pick her up at Jinghua Royal Garden later.

The other end quickly replied with an "OK".

"Did you go to the US to get that ring?"

In the quiet car, Cheng Yu suddenly asked a question.

Meng Tingwan's brow twitched slightly, but her tone remained cold. "Yes."

"Thank you." Cheng Yu was genuinely grateful. "I've taken care of Grandma for so many years, and I never knew that she actually wanted to eat the pastries from that shop, nor did I know that Grandpa made that ring back then."

Meng Tingwan didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the window, her expression somewhat blank.

When she arrived at Jinghua Royal Garden, she tried to open the car door and get out, but before she could even put one foot on the ground, she felt dizzy again.

Cheng Yu rushed over and hugged her, "Listen to this."

Meng Tingwan closed her eyes, frowned, and gripped the car door tightly with her hand. "Let me catch my breath, just for a moment."

Cheng Yu held her like that, letting her head rest against his body, but the pained expression on her face made his heart ache.

His intuition told him that Meng Tingwan was definitely hiding something from him.

After a while, Meng Tingwan opened her eyes. She reached out and pushed against the man's chest, her voice very soft, "I'm fine now, let me go."

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yu didn't comply with her request, but instead carried the person directly out of the car.

“You’re not feeling well, I’ll carry you inside.”

Even if Meng Tingwan was unwilling, her body couldn't resist.

She seemed to crave his embrace and his warmth.

This would make her feel like she was still alive.

Cheng Yu carried her all the way to the bedroom and placed her on a soft chair.

Meng Tingwan sat there, watching the man go into a small study inside.

A short while later, when he came out again, he had several sheets of paper in his hand.

Cheng Yu handed her the paper, and Meng Tingwan took a look. She noticed that the last place for her signature was blank.

She looked up at him angrily, "You didn't sign it?"

Seeing her angry expression, Cheng Yu replied irrelevantly, "You've finally decided to look at me."

After saying that, Meng Tingwan lowered her head again and tightened her grip slightly. "Cheng Yu, I don't like being lied to. If you're going to do this, I'll have to have a lawyer talk to you."

“Listen to this.” Cheng Yu squatted down, took the divorce agreement from her hand, and turned the soft chair around so that she could face him. “I have never lied to you. I just want to know why you insisted on divorcing me after you came back from abroad. I want to know the reason.”

"I've told you the reason, but you just don't believe me, so there's nothing I can do."

“I’m not stupid. Your reason is too far-fetched and doesn’t convince me.” Cheng Yu had never spoken to her so stubbornly before.

But today, it's as if they won't let her go unless they tell her.

Meng Tingwan gripped the chair tightly, her lips moving slightly. "Cheng Yu, you saved me back in Y country and helped me treat my illness, so shouldn't you know best what I'm thinking?"

Cheng Yu's breath hitched, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"You...you know? When?"

"When I visited your company last time, I happened to see those glasses."

"So you left back then because you knew my identity." Cheng Yu wanted to find a time to confess to her, but he never found the opportunity.

Meng Tingwan hummed in agreement. "Not entirely, more than that, you lied to me."

“I’ve always considered him my friend, my best friend in the world besides Qianqian. But I didn’t know that this person had always been by my side, making every time I confided in him over the years a joke.”

"You just said you weren't lying to me, but isn't that lying?"

Cheng Yu hadn't expected this to become an obstacle between them, so he was eager to explain, "Listen, it's not what you think. I just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you. I didn't mean to lie to you."

"But from the very beginning, you were lying to me. This marriage was a result of your deception, wasn't it?"

If the two of them hadn't had that past relationship, why would he have approached him after he returned to China and proposed that deal?

Cheng Yu had no idea she cared so much about this, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.

He awkwardly grabbed her hand, trying to make her look at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you. Listen, you can hit me, you can kill me, just don't divorce me, okay? Grandma's gone, I really don't want to lose you too."

"As long as you don't divorce me, you can do whatever you want. Even if you find someone you like or love in the future, you can still divorce me."

Meng Tingwan didn't dare to look at him, but as she listened to his humble words, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

She kept berating herself in her mind.

I am the one who turned such a good man into what he is now.

What makes her so special? What is it about her that makes her so ardently loved by him?

“Cheng Yu, you don’t need to be so humble in front of me. I’m not worthy.”

Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you. I know what I'm doing and I know what I want.

The man's burning gaze seemed to melt her.

Meng Tingwan forced back her tears and turned her head to the side, but Cheng Yu gently cupped her hands in his, making her look directly into his eyes.

"You're such an idiot, I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."

Meng Tingwan could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears. "I've made myself so clear, I've trampled on your heart like that, why are you still like this? Can't you just let go? Can't you just throw me away like a heartless, vicious monster?"

"No, listen to me. You're not a monster. You have a heart, and you love me too, right?"

Cheng Yu knelt on one knee, his eyes red and swollen. Seeing her crying so sadly made him feel even more distressed. "I told you I love you, so you can trample on my heart as you please. You can hit me, scold me, do whatever you want to vent your anger. Just listen to me, can you please not punish yourself?"

Meng Tingwan's vision was blurred by tears, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly. She reached out with trembling hands, found his face, and gently stroked it. "Cheng Yu, how much I want to love you, but what can I do? I don't want you to be sad anymore, I don't want you to cry anymore."

"I won't cry. As long as you don't leave me, I'll agree to anything you say." Cheng Yu held her hand that was on his face with one hand, and wiped away the tears on her face with the other.

"No, I will leave you, I will die, I don't have time, really."

Meng Tingwan shook her head slightly, crying uncontrollably.

She shouldn't have provoked him in the first place.

Cheng Yu was taken aback, but he seemed to understand what she meant, so he said, "It's okay, I can die with you again, just like in the last life."
