Addicted to Thorns: Mr. Lin, We’re Strangers

[Wen Yu x Lin Jingxuan] - Five years ago, twenty-year-old Wen Yu stood beside Lin Jingxuan in her wedding dress. Looking into his icy eyes, she happily said those three words: “I do.” Five years later, twenty-four-year-old Wen Yu, dressed in a waitress’s uniform, stood face-to-face with Lin Jingxuan in his expensive suit. She stepped back in fear and timidity. The four words “Long time no see” came out stiffly. After the Wen family declared bankruptcy, Lin Jingxuan sent Wen Yu to that lightless place. From then on, the light in her faded. She couldn’t bring herself to hate Lin Jingxuan, yet she hated him all the same. Perhaps Heaven was playing a cruel joke on her, making all the happiness she had ever seen nothing but bubbles... - “Mr. Lin, we’re already divorced.” Inside the hotel room, Wen Yu, her clothes in disarray, huddled in a corner with her head bowed, drawing a clear line between herself and Lin Jingxuan. “Wen Yu, you should know that I’m the one who makes the rules in this game. You don’t get to run away.” Wen Yu lifted her head slightly and glared at Lin Jingxuan. Then she said, each word deliberate: “Mr. Lin, we’re strangers!” In that moment, their relationship turned utterly unfamiliar, leaving only Wen Yu’s hatred for Lin Jingxuan.
