Chapter 104: I’ve Finally Found My Own Light
A woman’s heart is like a sea of needles—it’s impossible to figure out!
Even young girls are no exception. Just moments ago, she was crying a few tears; now she’s happily clutching her Snowflake Dew like a treasure.
“Your self-regulation skills are truly terrifying,” Long Aotian chuckled with amusement.
“So, Brother Long, are you here to see me crying?” Hu Yuying looked seriously at Long Aotian, whispering her question.
“Little Girl, you’re now daring to tease even the big brother. Have I been neglecting to give you a good wallop?” Long Aotian said, cracking his knuckles with a mischievous grin.
Hu Yuying obediently held her Snowflake Dew, trembling with fear as she said, “No, I was wrong, Brother Long.”
Before she could react, Long Aotian grabbed her by the back of her neck. Hu Yuying shrank back, eyes wide with panic. “Brother Long…”
…
On the other side, Ye Liang Chen, who had been quietly observing all this, was bleeding inside but helplessly could only roar in frustration.
He couldn’t hear what Long Aotian and Hu Yuying were whispering, but he could see Long Aotian clenching his fists and the way he was grabbing Hu Yuying’s neck…
“d*mn you, Long Aotian! Playing with people, bullying them at will—these are the treasures I’ve always dreamed of!”
At this moment, Ye Liang Chen forced a bitter smile. Seeing Hu Yuying being mistreated like this, his heart ached—really, it ached.
He once thought he could be ruthless and that Hu Yuying’s downfall was the result of her own choices, a consequence of her circumstances.
But now, he realized—he just couldn’t bring himself to be that cruel: “Am I really still a good person after all?”
He sighed softly. “Now, you probably know what kind of person Long Aotian really is, right?”
“He just drags you down, while I would pull you out from the darkness and save you.”
Suddenly, Ye Liang Chen’s eyes lit up.
Because he saw Hu Yuying stand up and walk away from her stall.
Without hesitation, Ye Liang Chen hurriedly followed her.
Long Aotian, that beast, was keeping Hu Yuying under tight control, not wanting anyone, himself included, to get close. Now, this was just too good a chance.
His eyes narrowed like a venomous snake, spreading a cold, ferocious aura: “Since you don’t appreciate what you have, don’t blame me for wearing the mask of a thief and throwing a cheap shot!”
After saying that, Ye Liang Chen adjusted his clothes, took a roundabout way, and headed toward the direction Hu Yuying was leaving.
It was the public restroom.
He leaned against the wall outside, glancing up at a forty-five-degree angle with a lonely, melancholy expression.
Soon, a graceful figure stepped out of the bathroom.
Ye Liang Chen’s lips curled into a proper, polite smile. Softly he called, “Yuying.”
Hearing her name, Hu Yuying turned to glance back. When she saw Ye Liang Chen, she deliberately ignored him and turned to leave.
Ye Liang Chen let out a low, teasing laugh. He thought she must be feeling inferior, faced with his mature and confident demeanor.
If she had chosen him back then, she wouldn’t have fallen so low to selling street snacks with Long Aotian now.
Quickly, he chased after her: “Hu Yuying, honest talk—my old self had pretty much given up on helping others. But seeing how you are now, I’ve decided to save you again.”
“Your life shouldn’t be like this. It should be dazzlingly shining.”
The more he spoke, the more excited Ye Liang Chen became, as if he could already see the confident, graceful business goddess of his dreams…
“Only I—only you and me—together, let me save and redeem you. Only then can you reach the peak of life, become the most admired… business goddess…”
Hu Yuying stopped in her tracks, her eyes showing unmistakable disgust. “Ye Liang Chen, we don’t even know each other well. I don’t understand what reason you have to think I’m living miserably now.”
“I want to tell you—I’m fine, really fine. You don’t need to redeem me. Go save someone else, okay?”
Big Brother Long said that a person’s life should be lived for oneself, not clinging onto others.
Everyone walks their own path.
If my success depends on relying on Ye Liang Chen, I’d rather not have this life!
Ye Liang Chen was stunned, disbelief flickering across his face. “What? What are you saying? Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
“Long Aotian is like a piece of broken mud—you end up covered in dirt if you’re with him. Such a life—there’s no future, just a dead end.”
“Do you want to spend your whole life suffering with Long Aotian?”
“Don’t you want an exquisite life? Living in a multi-million-dollar villa, driving luxury cars… You could be picky, too.”
With that, Ye Liang Chen fixed his gaze on Hu Yuying, afraid to miss even a tiny change on her face: “And I can help you make all that happen.”
Hu Yuying smiled. Under the sunlight, her smile was beautiful—so beautiful.
Seeing that smile, Ye Liang Chen’s heart pounded in an instant: “So… you’re willing to be with me…”
Before he finished, Hu Yuying cut him off.
“You’re wrong.”
Stunned, Ye Liang Chen asked, “What? What do you mean?”
“Long Aotian isn’t rotten mud. In my heart, he surpasses everything in this world.”
“And you? You’re utterly worthless in my eyes—at least Long Aotian never talks behind people’s backs.”
After her words, Hu Yuying’s lips curved into a sweet smile: “If I really needed salvation, then I think I’ve already found my own light.”

Hu Yuying is a timid person. She couldn’t bring herself to say these words in front of Long Aotian.
“Stop following me. Honestly, I really hate you. I hate the way you look at me, even more.”
After saying that, Hu Yuying faced the light and walked forward, knowing there was still someone who cared about her waiting ahead.
Someone who thinks she’s worthy.
“You’re going to regret this,” Ye Liang Chen said in a deep voice as he watched her walk away.
But Hu Yuying made no reply. Her steps quickened silently, as if telling Ye Liang Chen she had no regrets…
“Why? Why is it like this? I was only trying to bring you back to the right path, only trying to save you,” Ye Liang Chen whispered to himself, watching her distant figure fade away.
After a long pause!
Ye Liang Chen’s gaze darkened: “Since you want to fall willingly, then I won’t bother anymore.”
“In mydreams, I was always there with you, guiding you to success in this life. With me gone this time… I just want to see if you can still succeed on your own.”
He already imagined Long Aotian neglecting his responsibilities.
He even pictured Hu Yuying, who should be shining brightly in university, now pregnant and exhausted, tending to the miserable Long Aotian.
“I will prove to you how far off your choices are.”
“Since the moment you took Long Aotian as your guiding light out of the darkness of your life, you’ve already lost.”
Though he said so, Ye Liang Chen couldn’t suppress his unwillingness—he was truly unwilling!
“d*mn it! Long Aotian is just a b*stard pressuring you. Because he’s taken your body, you’d rather choose that no-good guy than pick me?”
“You’re so stupid. Long Aotian, this beast, doesn’t deserve your kindness!”
