self-awareness

"You don't believe me?" Li Mingchuan stared at Ye Tang intently, his brain was burning with pain, the medicine he took just now obviously didn't have much effect, and he felt that the pain in his body was getting worse.

"I believe there is no difference between you or not? We are really not suitable, why bother? You and I are both tired."

"With me, do you feel tired?" Li Mingchuan asked incredulously, he never thought that Ye Tang would think like this.

"Mingchuan, what you want is freedom, but I really can't move anymore, so please let me go."

Li Mingchuan supported the table and stabilized his body. He didn't understand what Ye Tang meant, but the man asked him to "let him go"?

He forced himself to calm down, thinking that Ye Tang must have misunderstood because he saw him and He Yang together, plus the news that he was engaged not long ago, and several things superimposed, Ye Tang was angry in his heart, That's why I just said that, so I justified myself: "He Yang is nothing in my heart, the person I like is you, and I will not marry anyone else, I just want to be with you."

Ye Tang shook his head, "It's not me you like, you just like the feeling of being with me, I'm not your bondage, I won't hinder your footsteps, you can find flowers and willows outside to enjoy the romance, but it's been a long time and I'm tired , think of me, I will still cater to you without hesitation, you like this kind of dominant position, you like this kind of freedom, you like the feeling of someone willing to give for you, or, do you like to make/love with me?" Ye Tang He lowered his eyes and chuckled, "But you definitely don't like me."

"No, no, that's not the case. I really like you, Ye Tang." Li Mingchuan has never felt that being wronged by others is such an aggrieved thing. He is clearly sincere to Ye Tang, but Ye Tang refuses. believe him.

"You like me? Do you know what liking is? If you like someone, you will give him the most basic respect. You will not, like you, lock me up against my will and force me to submit. You have considered my Do you feel? You like a person, and you just insult him and annihilate his personality? Is this what you call liking?"

Li Mingchuan was terrified, "I never thought of insulting you! I just want you to stay by my side!"

"Why stay around? Because my cannon/friend is very useful?"

Li Mingchuan only felt that his heart was tied together, and he couldn't tell the truth. He had done too many bastards to Ye Tang before, and even maintained a relationship with Ye Tang at the beginning, it was indeed because he knew Ye Tang from the bottom up and knew Ye Tang's relationship. Innocent, he knew that Ye Tang would not stab him outside with a strict tongue, but now that Ye Tang exposed him face to face, he really felt ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Ye Tang, I was an asshole in the past, I will change it in the future, I will treat you well, give me a chance to make up for it!"

"But I don't want to get along with you anymore."

If Li Mingchuan wants to make amends, does he have to give the other party this chance?Ye Tang didn't want to get involved with his own life anymore, just to make Li Mingchuan's life easier, he even hoped that Li Mingchuan would learn a good lesson, and regret it for a long time.

Ye Tang said: "Ming Chuan, to be honest, I don't want to get too involved in emotional matters now, I just want to work hard and not waste the opportunities I finally got. I was too young before, and I didn't see many things clearly. Being too obsessed with some things, now that I think about it, it’s not right, I think it’s not too late to correct it now.” Afterwards, he seemed to live a life for himself, completely digging out the name Li Mingchuan from his life.

How could Li Mingchuan fail to realize that what Ye Tang was talking about was his feelings for him in the past. He regretted not being able to treat Ye Tang's sincerity well at that time, but at that time he really hadn't grown dependent on Ye Tang, or There is no ability to recognize one's own mind at all. Two people have feelings for each other at different times, but these different points in time lead to misses that they may regret for life.

Li Mingchuan looked straight into Ye Tang's eyes and asked, "Since you hate me so much, why did you agree to be with me this time?"

Ye Tang: "If I don't promise you, will you let me go free? I don't want to be restricted in my actions."

Li Mingchuan: "Then what happened later? I set you free, why are you still with me?"

Ye Tang didn't look into Li Mingchuan's eyes, and said, "I just don't want to be detained by you again for the same reason."

"You're lying!" Li Mingchuan grabbed Ye Tang's shoulders, "You obviously like me! You can't bear to part with me, you can't leave me!"

Ye Tang knew that this time he had a relationship with Li Mingchuan again. Out of self-preservation and self-continuation, he had carefully protected his heart. If he didn't feel it, he wouldn't get hurt again. Whether he is good or bad, he can be unaffected and indifferent.One advantage of this approach is that over time, the feelings that were once overflowing were sealed up, and his heart became numb, and he also got used to deliberately not feeling it anymore, and the self-protection mechanism became stronger and more perfect.

Ye Tang's eyes were as calm as water, "I have no feelings for you anymore, let me go."

Li Mingchuan wanted to see clues in Ye Tang's eyes, but he was disappointed in the end. The man looked at him with a faint expression, even with some pity, as if he was mocking his stupidity before, ruining a relationship with his own hands.

Li Mingchuan was silent for a while, although his heart was in pain and his body was about to fall apart, his face regained his composure, and he said heavily: "Impossible. I will never let you go in my life."

Two days later, "Urban Entertainment" magazine published a group of photos of Li Mingchuan and Lai Zhen meeting in private. What's more exaggerated is that the magazine also photographed Lai Zhen wearing loose clothes and going in and out of the obstetrics and gynecology hospital accompanied by Li Mingchuan. photo.

Although Lai Zhen has faded out of the showbiz after marriage, her vigorous love affair with Li Mingchuan was once a good story in the circle and was very popular among entertainment reporters. Soon, "Li Mingchuan and Lai Zhen's old relationship rekindled" Soon, the news that "Lai Zhen was suspected to be pregnant" was quickly spread.

Although there is not enough evidence in the news to be sure, various speculations have pointed out that Lai Zhen may have an extramarital affair and has an illegitimate child with Li Mingchuan, and the situation is getting worse.

After finishing work that day, Ye Tang received a call from Li Yang.

"Xiaotang, go home tonight." Li Yang said, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"Uncle Li, what happened?"

"Go home tonight."

Ye Tang hung up the phone, always feeling something bad.Li Yang seldom ordered him to go back to Li's mansion regardless of the cause and effect. Ye Tang was afraid that something serious had happened, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Nan and went straight to Li's house.

The Li family mansion was brightly lit. Ye Tang entered the hall and found that Li Mingchuan was kneeling on the ground, Li Yang and Li's mother were sitting on the sofa, and there was a four-finger-thick martial arts stick on the tea table.

The corners of Ye Tang's eyes twitched, he recognized that martial arts stick, it was the "family law" set by Li Yang, Li Yang pursued stick education, and used this stick to teach Li Mingchuan a lot since he was a child.

Ye Tang looked at Li Mingchuan who was kneeling on the ground, Li Mingchuan seemed to have been beaten, his face was painted, and the corners of his mouth were broken, but when he saw Ye Tang, he grinned.

Ye Tang felt that the current atmosphere was very strange, so he could only wait and see what happened, and greeted Li Yang and his wife: "Uncle, aunt."

Li Yang treated Ye Tang quite normally, and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down."

Ye Tang sat down as instructed, but his back did not rest on the sofa.

Mother Li said: "Chuanchuan, Xiaotang is here too, can you tell me now? What happened between you and that actress? Your Aunt Teng saw the news and thought you really impregnated that actress." Come on, tell Dad about it!"

Li Yang snorted, obviously angry.

Li Mingchuan said: "Dad, Mom, I didn't want to hide anything from you, what I want to say today, I have to wait until Ye Tang comes to say it."

Ye Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Li Mingchuan suspiciously, with an increasingly ominous premonition in his heart.

"Hurry up and say it!" Li Yang's serious expression was very scary.

Li Mingchuan glanced at Ye Tang and said, "There is nothing between me and Lai Zhen. She is not pregnant with my child, and the news reports are all false."

Mama Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, it's a good thing there's nothing wrong with it. The Tang family is about to propose a divorce. I have to call your Auntie Teng quickly."

"Mom, wait, listen to me."

Mother Li said distressedly: "Get up quickly and stop kneeling, you are still sick."

Li Yang obviously didn't buy it, and asked, "Nothing? What happened to those photos? Why did you go to the obstetrics and gynecology department if you weren't pregnant? Why are you running to join in the fun!?"

Li Mingchuan: "Dad, Lai Zhen is not pregnant with my child, but she is indeed pregnant, but her husband has been abusing her regularly. She wanted to divorce that man before, but later he came back crying and begged She, she saw that he was determined to repent, so she gave up on the idea of ​​divorce. But this time, the man was no better than a chicken. Lai Zhen was already pregnant, and he still did something to her. Lai Zhen was at a loss, so he contacted me. I accompanied her to the prenatal checkup."

Li's mother said: "It turns out that it is like this. You were too careless when you went to the hospital. Now that you have been photographed and written like this, it will be very troublesome to clarify."

Li Mingchuan shook his head, "We don't intend to clarify."

Mama Li's eyes widened, "Aren't you going to clarify?"

"Lai Zhen has always wanted a divorce, but that man has been refusing to sign the divorce agreement. She wants to take this opportunity to force that man to sign the agreement. Even if he is unwilling, his family will put pressure on him. This is a family scandal. He won't hold on any longer."

Li's mother was stunned, "But this way, the girl's reputation will be ruined!"

"This is Lai Zhen's own decision. If she stays in that home again, she and the child will be beaten to death by that man sooner or later. She wants to go to Switzerland to join relatives first, and then talk about giving birth to the child, so as to avoid the limelight in the future." Think long term."

Mother Li thought for a while, she didn't understand Lai Zhen's situation, and she really couldn't comment, "So you agreed to expose these photos?"

Li Mingchuan nodded.

Mother Li: "Of course this actress has her own considerations and agrees to act in such a play with you, but you have a marriage contract, and your marriage has already been settled with the Tang family. Suddenly something like this happened to you. How will you let Xuanxuan, a girl, face the pressure of public opinion in the future? No, this matter still needs to be clarified."

Hearing this, Ye Tang also confirmed the conjecture that Li Mingchuan and Tang Xuanxuan's marriage contract was established. Li Mingchuan never talked to him about these things, and he didn't ask, but it doesn't mean that these things are not going on.

However, Li Mingchuan said at this moment: "Dad, Mom, I don't plan to marry Tang Xuanxuan. Let's use this opportunity to cancel my engagement with the Tang family."

"Nonsense!" Li Yang reprimanded.

Mother Li quickly grabbed Li Yang and said, "How can the engagement be canceled so easily? Are you dissatisfied with Xuanxuan?"

Li Mingchuan: "Dad, Mom, this engagement was made between you and the Tang family. I never agreed to it. It was the Tang family who first released the news to the media, saying that Tang Xuanxuan and I were about to get engaged, thinking that this would put pressure on me and the Li family. Putting pressure on them, thinking that I will make a mistake, I followed their wishes, and what I am doing now is just repaying the other person in the same way."

"What? You said that the Tang family deliberately leaked information to the media?" Li's mother was surprised.

"Yes, the Tang family suffered a huge loss in investment in power projects in the United States years ago, and the opponents are constantly buying their shares. The Tang family is facing a very serious financial situation. They have been suppressing this news, planning to suppress it until the Tang and Li families get married. Using the Li family to reverse the downturn of the Tang Corporation. They released the news to the media in order to build momentum, first to stabilize people's hearts, and second to take advantage of the opportunity. After the news was released, the stock price of Tang Corporation has gone up and down for several rounds."

Li Yang said with a straight face, "So what? The Tang and Li families are family friends. Your grandfather and Xuanxuan's grandfather fought in the war when they were young. It was a fateful friendship! Now it's time to help them!"

Li Mingchuan knew what he had found out, and Li Yang should have known about it long ago, but he was really not reconciled, "Dad, your previous generation valued love and righteousness, so you must ruin my happiness?"

"What did you say? Say it again!" Li Yang's eyes were filled with fury.

Li Mingchuan looked directly at Li Yang, "I won't marry Tang Xuanxuan, I already have someone else in my heart, I don't want to feel sorry for myself, and I don't want to delay Xuanxuan."

Li Yang raised his eyebrows, "Who are the others?"

"Ye Tang," Li Mingchuan knelt straight, and said solemnly, "The person in my heart is Ye Tang."
