Chapter 13: Don't Want to Lose the Only Dignity

  "Miss, we've arrived!" A minute later, the taxi stopped and the driver replied with a professional smile, "That'll be 50 yuan!"

  "Oh..." Yan Xiaoyu absent-mindedly pulled out her wallet from her bag, randomly took out a 100-yuan bill, and handed it to the driver with a distracted mind, "Keep the change!"

  The driver took the 100-yuan note, and his mood seemed to improve greatly. Having driven a taxi for so long, he rarely encountered such generous customers. It was clear that this young lady's family must be quite wealthy; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so generous!

  The taxi driver smiled and put the money into his own wallet, then turned on the radio and waited for Yan Xiaoyu to get off. However, after almost a minute, Yan Xiaoyu was still sitting in the car without getting up to leave.

  "Miss? Aren't you in a hurry?" The taxi driver looked at Yan Xiaoyu's dispirited appearance through the rearview mirror, somewhat puzzled. "We've already arrived at Blue Moon Coffee Shop!"

  "Oh, thank you!" Yan Xiaoyu forced a faint smile, picked up her bag and slowly got out of the car. The taxi quickly disappeared from her sight.

  Yan Xiaoyu, standing at the entrance of Blue Moon Coffee Shop, felt her legs as heavy as lead at this moment. She had thought of many things to say to Lu Yifan, but when she really arrived here, she suddenly lost her courage. She didn't know how to face Yifan and really didn't know if he would forgive her.

  Just as Yan Xiaoyu was at a loss, the glass door of the cafe suddenly opened and a sweet-looking waitress smiled and walked out from inside, "Excuse me, are you Miss Yan Xiaoyu?"

  "Yes!" Yan Xiaoyu replied with a frown.

  "Mr. Lu has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!" The waitress invited politely.

  "Thank you, thank you!" Xiang Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat at this moment, and after taking a deep breath, she stepped forward with her heavy legs and walked into the coffee shop.

  Until she was already sitting across from Lu Yifan, Yan Xiaoyu still felt like she was dreaming. She had originally thought that in this lifetime, she would never have the opportunity to sit here with Lu Yifan again!

  But...?

  Here, it's still the same as three years ago, just as warm and romantic as ever.

  Three years ago, she and Yifan would happily hold hands and come here for coffee. But now, everything has changed, and she and Lu Yifan have become the most familiar strangers!

  "Miss, your coffee!" The waitress smiled and placed a cup of coffee in front of Yan Xiaoyu, seemingly easing the tense atmosphere from earlier.

  "Half sugar and half milk, your favorite flavor!" Lu Yifan said coldly, his face expressionless as he stared at Yan Xiaoyu who was looking down and not speaking across from him.

  "Yi Fan!" Yan Xiaoyu clenched her fists tightly, until cold sweat broke out on her palms. She told herself that she couldn't deceive herself anymore, no matter what consequences would happen, she must tell Lu Yifan that she loved him!

  "What's wrong?!" Lu Yifan's expression remained as cold and aloof as ever, his eyes fixed on the window outside, as if completely ignoring Yan Xiaoyu's presence.

  But he alone knew the distress in his heart!

  He loved Xiaoyu for so many years, and even today, he still loves her. Just now, he saw through the glass that Yan Xiaoyu got out of the taxi, at that time, how much he wanted to run over and hug her. However, his rationality in his heart overcame his impulse, and in the end, he just instructed the waiter to invite Yan Xiaoyu in.

  He's doing this just because he doesn't want to lose his last bit of dignity!
