Untamed Passionate Kiss

"By the way, it's best to go alone."

Before leaving the bedroom, Bian's mother gave her some mysterious instructions.

The temple in Nan'un underwent some renovations.

Two years ago, a rainstorm caused some of the old, dilapidated wooden beams to collapse.

During the renovation, the entire temple was also repainted in red.

When Bian Yu visited, he found the place refreshing, but it lacked some of its rustic charm.

With the Spring Festival approaching, many people who have been away from home are returning to their hometowns one after another, and there are quite a few people burning incense and praying to Buddha.

Before Bian Yu even entered the temple, he already knew why his mother was hesitant to speak.

Because the horizontal LED screen at the entrance of the temple is too eye-catching.

The names of Liang Yutang and Bian Yu are still displayed above.

There's also a rustic-looking heart in the middle—

Liang Yutang and Bian Yu finally became a couple.

It was the wish that Liang Yutang made in front of the golden Buddha statue.

At the time, she even spent money in front of Bian Yu, saying that she would put her name here and burn incense and bathe every day.

Liang Yutang: "If God were to punish us both, we definitely wouldn't be able to separate."

Bian Yu was shy and struggled, but Liang Yutang insisted, so he had no choice but to give in half-heartedly.

He simply thought that it was a trick Liang Yutang used to deceive him, and that she didn't really mean it.

In relationships, she is always adept at understanding and manipulating people's hearts.

Use unexpected actions to make people willingly surrender.

Bian Yu initially fell for this trick and ended up getting involved with her.

But this slogan has been hanging here for eight years...

Bian Yu looked up blankly, standing at the temple entrance, speechless for a long time.

The words Bian's mother spoke in the bedroom still echoed in my ears—

"Logically speaking, now that you've started anew, I, as an elder, shouldn't interfere. But just now at the dinner table, you mentioned the issue of tourism resources. So it turns out they're all from Tangtang's group? No wonder. Back then, people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau even took the initiative to approach us and collaborate on a promotional video. I've thought about it, and I really do like that girl's personality."

Mom: "No matter what you go, what you see, or what you choose, Mom will support you. Yin Miao is a very nice girl. If you choose her, then remove what needs to be removed. You two need to have a complete break eventually."

Actually, the photos related to the slogan had already appeared online when Liang Yutang revealed that she was Bian Yu's ex-girlfriend.

Bian Yu deliberately avoided looking for it, instead handing it all over to the public relations department to resolve.

From then on, there was no trace of it online.

"Make way."

Tourists behind him started urging him on, and Bian Yu lowered his head and turned away with an inscrutable expression.

Tourists filed in, brushing past his shoulder.

But he couldn't move his legs or back any further. It was as if he was firmly bound by an invisible rope.

Bian Yu spent a long time mentally preparing himself at the temple gate until Yin Miao called.

Before leaving, he told Yin Miao that he was going to the supermarket to help buy New Year's goods so that she could sleep in for a while.

"Are you still at the supermarket?" Yin Miao asked on the other end of the phone.

"If you're here, could you withdraw some extra cash from the ATM for me? I see you have quite a few younger family members; it wouldn't be good to go empty-handed."

She had just gotten up when the children who had stayed overnight at the Bian family villa were already standing at the door, greeting her.

With mobile payments being so popular these days, Yin Miao doesn't have the habit of carrying cash.

"Um."

Bian Yu responded absentmindedly.

Yin Miao sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

Bian Yu forcefully suppressed the shock surging within him, pretending nothing was wrong.

"No, I'll be home in half an hour," he said, swallowing hard.

At the same time, a guarded look returned to his face, and the walls in his heart were slowly being rebuilt.

So what if I saw it?

Liang Yutang has always been like this.

It's like I love him, it's like I care about him, it's like I can't live without him...

However, at every crucial juncture, he was not her first choice.

That's how people are; they can only see things when they can't see them.

"Late-blooming affection is worth less than grass," she said.

After hanging up the phone, Bian Yu's eyes darkened, as if he had made a decision.

He turned and walked toward the temple's visitor center.

Temple staff: "I'm sorry, sir. This LED screen is contracted out to Ms. Liang, and we have no right to remove it."

Bian Yu: "But I'm one of the parties involved, and I have the right to protect my right to reputation. Do you really want to take this small matter to court?"

Now that the decision has been made, this sign can no longer be hung up.

Otherwise, the mouths of the onlookers can be silenced once or twice, but he can't be expected to put in the effort every time.

"I understand how you feel. But Ms. Liang has already made the payment, and we don't have that authority. I suggest you communicate with the person involved; that's the most direct option."

Although Bian Yu's attitude was tough, the staff dared not give him any ammunition.

Because Liang Yutang doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with.

Bian Yu thought about it and realized that starting with Liang Yutang was indeed the fastest way. He took out his phone and went outside.

*

Liang Yutang had just left the hotel, preparing to take the new proposal and meet with the director again.

While I was waiting for a car by the roadside, my phone rang.

She stared blankly at the caller ID for several seconds before bringing the caller ID close to her ear.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Bian Yu, in handling this matter for the first time, did not get straight to the point, but instead asked some irrelevant opening remarks.

"What's the situation on your end?"

Liang Yutang thought he had come to inquire about the project's progress, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"We can't get the budget," she said honestly.

Bian Yu asked about the other party's asking price, which was a bit high, but not unacceptable.

It could also be because of a soft heart.

"Sign it," he said immediately.

Liang Yutang didn't want him to look down on her, but now she was even more stubborn.

"Why should I? If others can negotiate it, I can definitely do it too."

Bian Yu always felt that the "other person" she was referring to was Yin Miao.

Liang Yutang: "I'm going to deliver the final draft now. If it really doesn't work, then come back and slap me in the face."

"The exchange of benefits doesn't necessarily have to be money," Bian Yu finally couldn't help but offer advice.

Bian Yu: "Your Liang family's advantage lies in having many buildings and lots of land. Although this company has some reputation, it is ultimately just a small to medium-sized enterprise, and warehousing is a major weakness. As the year draws to a close and the weather turns cold, if the storage location for parts is not chosen well, they are prone to dampness. Every year, the proportion of parts wasted by the production company is not small."

If we can help them reduce the scrap rate of parts, we won't need to cut our own costs, and we should be able to negotiate a price that suits our tastes.

"Nice!"

On the roadside, Liang Yutang almost jumped up, "How could I not have thought of that?!"

Suddenly, her admiration for Bian Yu returned.

It has nothing to do with romantic feelings; it's simply my admiration for him.

It seems Mom was right: reading more books broadens one's horizons and thinking, and that benefits one for a lifetime.

Liang Yutang's headache suddenly stopped, and she was in a great mood, even joking with Bian Yu.

"I'll gladly accept Mr. Bian's idea. You're so brilliant, you probably don't need to pay your brain cells, right?"

Bian Yu paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "No need." His answer was straightforward.

Liang Yutang was about to say something with a smile when he didn't give her another chance.

Bian Yu: "Just removing the slogan from Nanyun Temple would be a huge help to me."
