T/N: Slight spoiler alert, a song will be sung in this chapter so here’s the song, the translated lyrics, which I used is also in the description of the video. You can listen to it while reading! Also, one of my favourite artists, Hu Yao did a cover of this song as well, so I’m obviously in love and will embed his cover as well! (It’s the second video)

His mother’s eyes had been slightly swollen since that night. When it was late at night, Lin Moyan would hear soft sobs echoing through her door. Lin Moyan had no idea how long this situation would last for. Sometimes he regretted telling his mother about his stepfather’s derailment so that his mother could continue having someone by her side.

Since that night, Li Wei hadn’t appeared in front of them. Lin Moyan was relieved, but he didn’t feel happy. Although his mother still went about her daily life normally, he knew how devastated his mother was.

Lin Moyan never asked his mother how the divorce matters were being handled with Li Wei. His mother was not a cunning woman and didn’t know how to protect herself and gain appropriate compensation from Li Wei. Hence, he would take it upon himself to squeeze out as much as he could from Li Wei.

A week after Li Wei left the house, Lin Moyan texted him, “I’ll see you at the cafe at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning.” The café he was referring to was the one opposite the hotel and he knew that LiWei would understand what he was referring to.

When Lin Moyan arrived at the cafe on Saturday morning, the other party was already seated. Lin Moyan did not hesitate and went straight to the table where Li Wei was. He threw down the stack of photos onto the table and sat opposite him without any greetings at all. He then said straightforwardly, “I want two-thirds of all your wealth. That’s all.”

The dignified man on the opposite side frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Why do you think I will agree to this condition? Just relying on these photos your mother has shown me is not enough to justify taking two-thirds of my wealth.”

“These photos can hinder your career,” Lin Moyan replied with a stony face.

“True, but you should have shown the photos directly to the relevant authorities and not use them to threaten me. Actually…it’s all for your mother, isn’t it?” Li Wei took a sip from the exquisite white porcelain coffee cup in front of him.

Lin Moyan glanced at the calm Li Wei and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He had to admit that the man’s analysis was correct. Everything he did was for his mother. If he wanted to bring down the man completely, it was not enough to just submit the photo to the authorities because as long as he gave them enough money, the matter could be suppressed and he could walk away scot-free.

Unless he found the media to expose Li Wei, he had no chance to bring down Li Wei. Even if the media did cover it, his mother would be the centre of everyone’s attention which was something he didn’t want. They wanted to live in peace and adding on Lin Moyan’s physique, he couldn’t use the media.

However, Lin Moyan was not so easily defeated. He stood up and said, “I don’t mind if the fish dies or the net breaks”

Just as Lin Moyan was about to take a step, li Wei’s voice came from behind him, “Okay, I promise.”

Lin Moyan stopped but didn’t turn around. Only the corner of his lips was raised slightly in irony.

“But… Xiaoyan, do you know what I regret most?” The man’s smiling voice came from behind and he continued, “It’s not divorcing your mother but… failing to taste you instead.”

Lin Moyan stiffened, suddenly turned around, and violently slammed his palm on the table. He clenched his fist and restrained the urge to punch Li Wei. With a cold voice, he spat out, “Li Wei, I will make you pay!”

Lin Moyan violently pushed open the café door and rushed out. He was not in a hurry to go home and wandered around aimlessly.

The momentum he had disappeared not long after he walked out of the cafe. Lin Moyan smiled bitterly. He had said such things with confidence but he really had no ability to move Li Wei even a bit. Even the photos of him with another woman was provided to him by other people.

Not only was he unable to bring that person down, but he also had no ability to protect his mother. Thinking about his gentle mother who put on a strong front but was deeply hurting inside, Lin Moyan was regretful and deeply blamed himself.

He hated his own body, hated himself for dragging down his mother, hated himself for ruining his mother’s happy life. The inferiority that had been suppressed for a long time overwhelmed him. He brought only endless suffering and torture to the person he loved the most.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Wei wanted to climb into his bed, even if he found out that Li Wei cheated, he would probably not tell his mother.

He was selfish. As a selfish person, what right did he have to continue existing?

Lin Moyan stared blankly at the walking pedestrians beside him. He shouldn’t actually exist, right?

But there were people who said they loved him. Are they lying? He felt that he wasn’t worthy of their love at all. He thought of Fang Yu, who was always expressing his emotions. Does he really love me?

He suddenly wanted to confirm it. He wanted to confirm whether Fang Yu really fell in love with him. Lin Moyan took out his cell phone, his stiff hand slightly trembling, and pressed the name of the person who appeared most frequently in the call log. This was the first time he had initiated a call.

“Hello? Baby, did you miss me?” Fang Yu’s voice came from thousands of miles away.

“Baby? What’s the matter? Why won’t you speak?” Fang Yu’s slightly urgent voice mingled with the whistling north wind in his ears, assaulting Lin Moyan’s ears.

Lin Moyan rubbed his hot eyes and whispered, “Fang Yu, you don’t love me, do you? Were you lying to me the whole time? Fang Yu, I’m really not worthy so you don’t love me right…”

“Baby, what’s the matter with you?” Fang Yu on the other side of the phone hurriedly got up from his chair, walked out of the office and went to the company’s rooftop.

Lin Moyan didn’t say a word and Fang Yu anxiously wanted to see Lin Moyan immediately to see what was going on with his own eyes. However, the most important thing was to calm Lin Moyan down. Fang Yu took a deep breath and replied softly, “Baby, I love you…really, I didn’t lie to you, I swear.”

Fang Yu’s soft but firm voice was transmitted word by word to Lin Moyan’s ears through the phone and deeply penetrated his heart. He clearly wanted to hear the other party admit that he did not love him, but Fang Yu denied and insisted that he did love Lin Moyan. Hearing Fang Yu’s reassuring words, his heart slowly loosened. He was really selfish. Even if he felt worthless, he still wanted to be loved by Fang Yu.

Even though he kept wiping away the tears, his eyes kept gushing tears. “Fang Yu, can you sing a song for me..”

“Singing? Hmm…singing is not my strongest point, but my wife’s request must be fulfilled even if I have to put myself before the knife. What do you want to listen to?” Fang Yu asked, unbuttoning his collar and loosening the tie. His baby sounded calm and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Moyan didn’t know what he wanted to hear, he just wanted to hear the other person’s voice. He wanted this person to fill his thoughts so that he could no longer think of anything else. He replied indifferently, “I don’t know. Sing whatever you want.”

Fang Yu laughed, and then said, “The first time my baby asks me to sing, I have to sing a meaningful song, don’t I? I’ll sing ‘At least I still have you’ okay?”

Lin Moyan took a breath, sniffed, and let out a soft “En”.

Fang Yu cleared his throat and started singing.

I’m afraid there isn’t enough time

I wish to hold you in my arms with me

Until the day we can feel the wrinkle

Has placed a mark after all these years

Until I’m sure you’re still here with me

Until the day I run out of strength

Because of you, I’m willing to do anything

There was no accompanying instrument, only Fang Yu’s deep voice in his ear. Singing was not his strongest point but the thought that it was sung by him moved Lin Moyan’s heart. He couldn’t help humming this song in his heart along with Fang Yu.

His fragility was completely exposed by Fang Yu’s singing and the feelings he had suppressed in his heart also poured out with the tears.

T/N: If you listen to Hu Yao’s cover that I linked at the beginning, you can kinda pretend it’s Fang Yu actually singing hehe

Also, I felt sad for Lin Moyan since he felt so vulnerable because of his physique. Everyone should embrace themselves no matter how they look. Sometimes, the only one who can truly love and appreciate you is yourself.
