Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

Thanks to He Duoye, Lin Mian didn't have the energy to get up and go downstairs until the afternoon of the next day.

Because of discomfort in her chest and too many marks on her body, she couldn't wear pretty dresses and could only wear shirts and trousers. When she went downstairs, her legs were weak, and she happened to run into Meili chatting with Li Mingshao in the lobby.

Seeing Lin Mian's expression, the two of them smiled subtly.

Lin Mian: "..."

She braced herself and continued downstairs. He Duoye, who was behind her, tried to hold her hand, but she pushed him away with a hard elbow.

Lin Mian calmly greeted Mei Li and Li Mingshao, then went to the terrace, found a corner, and quietly secluded herself.

He Duoye came over after a while and handed Lin Mian a cup of beautifully colored milkshake.

Lin Mian accepted the milkshake, but didn't want to talk to He Duoye.

He Duoye spoke first: "Would you like to go for a walk on the beach?"

Lin Mian turned her head and glared at him, her expression saying: "My back and waist are aching like this, and you're still going for a walk?"

He Duoye chuckled and said, "I'll carry you on my back."

Lin Mian rolled her eyes at He Duoye, thinking, "Who cares?"

But I still went for a walk in the end because I was really bored.

It was already evening, and only a few tourists remained on the beach. As dusk fell and the sun began to set, the dark red afterglow of the sun dyed the sea and clouds a beautiful orange-red with a golden sheen.

Several seagulls cried out as they swept across the sky and the sea.

A gentle sea breeze was blowing, and the waves were regular and soft, surging and receding over the beach.

He Duoye carried Lin Mian on his back, walking slowly forward on the beach wet by the waves, occasionally a shallow layer of seawater would reach his feet.

Lin Mian hugged his neck and leaned against his back. The anger she felt after getting up had long since dissipated, and she only felt peace and happiness.

"Is Li Mingshao really building houses in Africa?" Lin Mian asked curiously.

He Duoye said, "Yeah, he thinks it's fun over there."

Lin Mian's impression of Africa mostly came from television documentaries, featuring a variety of wild animals, vast and open grasslands full of wildness, and ancient tribes far from modern cities.

It is indeed very interesting.

"Is it really possible to see elephants from the place where he's building the house?"

"Sure, there are giraffes and antelopes that can chase you," He Duoye said.

Lin Mian really wanted to go, but this trip had already lasted long enough, and she was a little tired. After thinking for a moment, Lin Mian said, "Then let's go next year."

He Duoye said, "Okay."

A sea breeze blew by, and Lin Mian's hair flew up, brushing against He Duoye's face and obscuring his vision. Lin Mian quickly brushed the hair aside.

He Duoye turned his head, and their eyes met naturally.

Lin Mian leaned over and kissed him. After the kiss, she felt embarrassed and turned her face away, telling He Duoye to leave quickly.

He Duoye didn't leave. He put Lin Mian down, and the two stood in the shallow, surging seawater, sharing a long, tender kiss.

It was getting dark.

"It's time to go back," Lin Mian said.

So the two of them held hands and strolled leisurely back, their feet sinking into the undulating seawater.

As the sun set and the sky grew dim, the two figures, both indistinct and intimate, walked slowly away along the beach.

Lin Mian found a new job, which was similar to her previous job, so she quickly got the hang of it.

The company atmosphere is great, and the team leader and colleagues in the same team are all very easy to get along with. Even though sometimes there is overtime, the clients and suppliers can be particularly difficult to deal with at times. But considering the company atmosphere, Lin Mian tolerates it.

She went to work, while He Duoye stayed at home as a stay-at-home husband, cooking and doing some stock trading, but in reality he also had a lot of his own things to do, occasionally going abroad and then calculating the time to rush back.

Two years passed like this.

Linmian's company expanded and recruited a group of interns. Linmian's group was assigned to a sunny and cheerful young man.

The handsome guy is very good at socializing. He often treats the team members to coffee and milk tea, and when you take him out on field trips, he will treat them to meals.

He Duoye happened to be abroad those two days. When he came back, he heard Lin Mian talking about work and learned that she had a young, cheerful, and handsome man by her side.

The little pendant Lin Mian gave He Duoye when she saw the handsome guy was an adorable pink and orange kitten with round, bright eyes, looking quite cute.

This was a thank-you gift from Lin Mian after she helped him revise some details of the plan.

Lin Mian shook the kitten and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Young people really know how to handle things. If I had such high emotional intelligence back then, I wouldn't have gotten so many scoldings during my internship."

He Duoye took the kitten, pinched its round face, and with a half-smile, lowered his eyelids, asking Lin Mian in a gentle voice, "Who scolded you when you were interning?"

Lin Mian has a lot to say about this.

She chattered on and on, while He Duoye listened and pinched the kitten. Finally, the fragile ceramic cracked open with a snap.

He Duoye raised an eyebrow: "The quality isn't very good."

Lin Mian took a look at it, but it was a pity, and there was nothing she could do. In the end, He Duoye threw the cat keychain into the trash can.

The next day, He Duoye drove Lin Mian to work. After parking the car, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her.

Lin Mian was a little confused, but thinking that He Duoye had been abroad for a week, it was normal for him to become clingy, so she cupped his face and kissed him for a while, only to have He Duoye bite her lip.

She pinched He Duoye, pushed open the car door and got out, just in time to run into that handsome intern.

He had just parked his car and was standing next to it, looking somewhat dazed.

Lin Mian greeted him, "Good morning."

The handsome guy seemed to snap out of his daze, smiled, and said, "Good morning."

He Duoye got out of the car at this moment. Tall and long-legged, he walked over, put his arm around Lin Mian's shoulder, looked down at the weak-looking pretty boy, and asked, "Is this your company's intern?"

Lin Mian nodded and gave a brief introduction: "He is my husband."

The handsome man looked at He Duoye with a strange expression, and after a long while, he said, "Mr. He, hello."

He Duoye nodded and said to Lin Mian, "I'll pick you up after get off work."

She entered the company with the handsome man, and noticing that he seemed distracted, she asked out of concern, "Why do you look so absent-minded?"

The handsome man gave a wry smile, shook his head, and after a while said, "I didn't expect you to get married, Sister Mianmian."

Lin Mian chuckled and showed him the wedding ring: "Isn't it obvious?"

The handsome guy said, "I thought... it was just decoration."

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a group of people squeezed in. Lin Mian didn't hear clearly: "What?"

The handsome guy said, "It's nothing."

He Duoye did indeed come to pick her up in the afternoon, but due to a last-minute team meeting, she was delayed by an hour. The good thing, however, was that there weren't many people left in the office building, so she didn't have to wait for the elevator.

Lin Mian left with the rest of the group in the elevator.

Someone suggested we have dinner together tonight, since it's the weekend and we could have some drinks. The handsome guy used to be very enthusiastic about these kinds of activities, but he didn't respond today.

The team leader asked him curiously what was wrong, as he seemed distracted all day.

The handsome man said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I have a headache."

The elevator doors opened at that moment, and Lin Mian, not wanting He Duoye to keep waiting, said anxiously, "I won't go to dinner tonight. Someone will pick me up, and I don't want him to wait."

After saying that, Lin Mian quickly walked away.

That evening, she went out for hot pot with He Duoye. Lin Mian couldn't help but tell him about the trivial things at the company, and she also mentioned the handsome intern who seemed distracted.

He Duoye casually tossed out a remark: "Maybe he's heartbroken."

Lin Mian said, "He said he's single."

"You can experience heartbreak even when you're single."

Lin Mian thought about it and agreed, so she said, "How pitiful."

He Duoye remained silent, but simply placed a bright green vegetable on Lin Mian's plate.

Later, the handsome intern went to another department. After some time, Lin Mian heard from her colleagues' gossip that the handsome intern was the son of the boss's friend. His family was very rich and owned a large company. He would only stay in their small company for a year, and after gaining experience, he would return to his own company.

Later, that handsome guy came back and treated Lin Mian and her entire group to dinner, a lavish meal at a five-star hotel, but Lin Mian couldn't go because He Duoye kept her up until midnight that night.

Finally, we ordered a lavish meal delivery from home.

After working for several years, Lin Mian finally got fed up with being a workhorse.

The company had a good atmosphere before, but then a new leader was parachuted in and took an iron-fisted approach to exploitation. The wonderful atmosphere vanished instantly, and going to work every day felt like torture, with my salary constantly being deducted.

So Lin Mian resigned, ready to lie low and be a rich woman with nothing to do for a few years.

After resting for a while, she went on a trip with He Duoye and saw Meili and Meizhu, who were still running a guesthouse. The two sisters were even more tanned, but their eyes and brows were more cheerful than before, and their smiles were bright and cheerful.

Lin Mian and He Duoye stayed there for a while.

One day, Lin Mian went to a nearby farm with Mei Li to pick fruits and vegetables. On the way, the two chatted, and Mei Li revealed to Lin Mian that she felt her sister had gradually become bored with the homestay life in recent years, and was not as happy as before.

Lin Mian also had this feeling, and it had become increasingly obvious in the past two years.

In fact, she always understood that He Duoye was accommodating her and making allowances for her by living with her in China and picking her up and dropping her off at get off work whenever he had time.

Although He Duoye denied it, saying that the domestic environment was the safest and that he felt most at ease staying here, the happier Lin Mian was, the more she couldn't help but wonder if He Duoye was happy.

So later, He Duoye often went abroad, and she never asked him what he was doing there.

After picking two tomatoes, Lin Mian stood up, having made her decision. She told Mei Li, "I plan to live abroad with He Duoye for a few years."

Meili stared at her, somewhat stunned.

Lin Mian bent down and picked a huge tomato. She said, "Do you like tomato and egg noodles? We've been out playing for a long time, and I'm craving noodles. I'll cook for you guys tonight."

After seeing the two sisters, Meili and Meizhu, Lin Mian and He Duoye went to Africa, where they saw migrating wild animals, a herd of elephants, and a pride of lions running.

Finally, I was able to move into the house that Li Mingshao invested in building in Africa.

Yes, an apartment with water and electricity is actually quite nice.

After settling abroad, He Duoye bought a manor.

There is a natural lake inside, its waters clear and bright like a gemstone, and the villa faces the lake directly.

The other half of the manor is a newly built small farm, which was originally set up by Lin Mian for fun. She raised many small animals there, including chickens, geese, black-faced lambs, black and white cows, and a few ponies.

From the beginning, she researched how to raise these small animals, how to grow vegetables and flowers, and how to care for fruit trees. This time, she hired an experienced teacher who guided her every day, so things went much more smoothly than when she was in the small white house.

The little animals grew up, the vegetables made it onto the dinner table, the flowers bloomed, and the fruit trees bore fruit.

Lin Mian felt a great sense of accomplishment, thinking that she was now a qualified farmer, and even if the world ended one day, she could be self-sufficient by farming.

Not long after she and He Duoye settled abroad, Meizhu and Meili also moved in.

Meili doesn't grow vegetables or flowers; she just goes shopping and buys everything. She used to run a bed and breakfast, which made her happy, but she was also feeling very stifled.

One day, Lin Mian and Mei Li hit it off and decided to open a dessert shop and a coffee shop in the city together. They enrolled in classes to learn how to make desserts and coffee.

Of course, when they finally opened the shop, they hired more professional pastry chefs and baristas.

On the opening day, Lin Mian unexpectedly met Wen Ya.

After many years, Wenya has changed quite a bit. She has lost some weight, and her cheeks are not as round as before, but her eyebrows and eyes are still gentle, like a kind and gentle lady.

She came over to congratulate Lin Mian and Meili on the opening of their shop.

Wen Ya presented the flowers, then gave Lin Mian a light hug as a social gesture. She smiled and said, "It's been so many years since we last met. Young Master He has aged, but Miss Lin, you are still so young and beautiful."

Lin Mian took it as a polite compliment and returned the compliment in kind.

Lin Mian asked about Wen Ya's husband.

"His health hasn't been good these past two years, and he's been recuperating at a sanatorium," Wen Ya said with a gentle smile, then asked Lin Mian, "You and Young Master He have been married for so many years, don't you plan to have children?"

Lin Mian shook her head: "I haven't thought about it."

Wenya said patiently and gently, "Are you afraid of the hardships of childbirth? I can help you."

Lin Mian didn't understand for a moment, and looked at Wen Ya blankly: "?"

Wen Ya said, "I'm about the same age and want a child. I can have one for you and Young Master He."

Lin Mian was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

When she got back, she couldn't help but tell He Duoye about it. He Duoye didn't react much after hearing it, but he told Lin Mian that Wen Ya's husband had probably been driven crazy by the torment over the past few years and jumped off a building one day.

The person didn't die, but was paralyzed, with no feeling in their lower body.

But her family wants Wenya to have a child to inherit the family business, and her husband is no longer able to have children, so she can only do IVF. That's probably why she suddenly said those things to Lin Mian.

Lin Mian still didn't understand after hearing this, but it didn't matter, because Wen Ya only stayed for a few days before going home. They might meet again in the future, but not very frequently.

Two days later, He Duoye suddenly asked Lin Mian if she wanted a child.

Lin Mian hadn't actually considered this. She countered He Duoye's question, "You want it?"

He Duoye didn't speak, but instead held Lin Mian and said, "I brought you a child."

Lin Mian: "???"

He picked her up and carried her straight to the study, where a white crib was placed. Lin Mian was shocked.

She believed that He Duoye would not have an illegitimate child, but she also believed that He Duoye would do something outrageous like picking up a child and raising him.

She peered out in horror, only to find a dog in the crib.

The German Shepherd puppy was tiny, its ears not yet erect, its head fluffy, and its round eyes tilted as it looked at the two people, wagging its tail.

He Duoye put Lin Mian down, picked up the puppy, grabbed its paw, and said to Lin Mian, "Good boy, call me Mommy."

Lin Mian: "..."

Lin Mian had trouble sleeping that night. She turned over and was pulled into He Duoye's arms, who was also awake.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Lin Mian leaned against him and asked, "Do you want children?"

He Duoye stroked Lin Mian's back and said without hesitation, "I don't want to. Having you is enough for me."

Lin Mian felt relieved and hugged He Duoye's waist, saying, "Me too, having you is enough."
