Chapter 251 Never Force
The next day, when Chen Yan woke up, it was already noon.
He rubbed his hazy eyes and patted his head, still feeling a little dizzy.
He got up and washed up, thinking about finding Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan to ask them what happened last night and why they left in a hurry.
However, when he found their room, he discovered that they were gone.
The room was empty, with only a letter left on the table. Chen Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up the letter to read it.
The letter was left for him by Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan, and it read:
"Chen Yan, we have left Fog City. We know you are a little confused, but we hope you can understand our decision. We wish you and Pei Ling a happy marriage, and we look forward to your growth and gains in Fog City in the future."
After reading the letter, Chen Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down.
He didn't expect that Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan would leave so quietly, leaving him alone in the Fog City.
He felt angry and helpless, not knowing what to do.
Just then, Pei Ling walked in from outside. She saw Chen Yan holding the letter with a helpless look on his face, and couldn't help but speak.
"If you want to leave, you can leave anytime. My father won't stop you."
Chen Yan looked at Pei Ling and said helplessly.
"I...I don't want to leave, it's just...it's just a little sudden, I don't know what to do."
Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
She walked up to Chen Yan and spoke softly.
"Actually, Daddy also hopes that you can stay for a while and spend more time with me. After all, we are still engaged."
After hearing what Pei Ling said, Chen Yan felt even more conflicted.
He knew that he and Pei Ling were indeed engaged, but he had not yet figured out what to do.
He looked at Pei Ling and said in confusion.
"I...I know, but I still need some time to think about my own affairs."
Pei Ling felt a little disappointed, but she still tried to smile and said.
"Forget it, whatever you want, I'll go back first."
After saying that, she turned and left the room.
Chen Yan looked at her back, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
He wanted to call her and say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and no sound came out.
He knew he needed time to think, to clear his mind.
And Pei Ling also needs time to accept this fact.
He sighed, turned and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Everything in the foggy city is so strange, yet so familiar.
He knew that he would start a new life here, and this life would be an important turning point in his life.
Pei Xuan called Chen Yan into his room. He looked at Chen Yan solemnly and spoke slowly.
"Yan'er, are you unwilling to marry Ling'er?"
Chen Yan shook his head, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know. I knew from childhood that I wanted to marry her. But later, I met another person. She was too dazzling and I couldn't ignore her existence. I knew she didn't have me in her heart, but I..."
Pei Xuan sighed when he heard this.
He knew who the "other person" Chen Yan was referring to, and he also understood the entanglement and confusion in Chen Yan's heart.
he said softly.
"Yan'er, you can't force relationships. If you really don't have feelings for Ling'er, then you won't be happy if you force yourself to be together. But you also have to think carefully about whether the person in your heart is really worth pursuing."
Chen Yan was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Pei Xuan.
"City Lord, I think I need some time to think. I...I don't want to make the wrong decision."
Pei Xuan nodded to show his understanding.
"Okay, I'll give you some time. But you have to remember that Ling'er is a good girl and my only daughter. She's worth cherishing. If you decide not to marry her, you have to explain it to her clearly and don't let her get hurt."
Chen Yan nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and respect.
He knew that Pei Xuan was a sensible man and a good father.
He will seriously consider his emotional issues and will try his best to cherish and protect Pei Ling.
As soon as Chen Yan came out of Pei Xuan's room, he saw Pei Ling.
Her eyes were red and filled with tears, but she didn't cry in the end.
She just glanced at Chen Yan, her eyes filled with complicated emotions, and then left without saying anything.
Chen Yan looked at her departing back, feeling an indescribable sense of guilt and pain in his heart.
He knew that he had made Pei Ling sad and made her feel uneasy and confused.
He wanted to chase after her, explain to her, and apologize to her, but his steps felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't take a step.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that the most important thing now was to sort out his thoughts and clarify his feelings.
Only in this way can we avoid hurting more people.
So he turned around and went back to his room and began to think seriously about his emotional problems.
He knew he needed time and courage to face all this.
However, he believed that as long as he faced it sincerely, he would be able to find his own answer.
In the next few days, Pei Ling locked himself in the room and concentrated on practicing.
She seemed to want to calm her inner turmoil through practice, and also wanted to make herself stronger to deal with anything that might happen in the future.
Chen Yan came to see her several times, but was turned away every time.
Pei Ling simply told him through the crack in the door that she needed to concentrate on her practice and didn't want to be disturbed by anything.
Although Chen Yan felt a little disappointed, he also understood what Pei Ling needed now.
He did not force a meeting again, but just stood outside the door silently to ensure that Pei Ling would not be disturbed during his practice.
During this period of time, Chen Yan also began his own thinking.
He began to seriously examine his feelings for Pei Ling and his true thoughts.
He knew that he had to make a decision, and this decision would affect his and Pei Ling's future.
Seven days passed in a flash, and the Fog City welcomed its annual event.
This event is of great significance to the Fog City. It is an important moment to showcase the city’s style and enhance public cohesion.
As the eldest daughter of Fog City, Pei Ling would naturally show up.
Although she had been practicing in the house before, she could not miss this event.
She knew that she represented the face of Fog City, and she also knew that she had the responsibility and obligation to contribute to Fog City.
So, on the day of the event, Pei Ling changed into a gorgeous dress and dressed up carefully.
She walked out of the room and saw Chen Yan waiting outside the door.
When Chen Yan saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Pei Ling had always been beautiful, but today she was even more dazzling.
