Chapter 1156 - Knot (2)

Xi Xiaye’s eyes seemed neutral, so it was hard to tell what she was thinking about.

Yue Lingsi became like because she had amassed huge debts at the casino.

Xi Xiaye forgot about the details since it happened too long ago, but she remembered that she had been pretty concerned about Shen Wenna at that time, so she had left everything to Mu Yuchen to take care, so...

“It seems like you already know the answer.” Xi Xinyi suddenly laughed. She took a deep breath and said, “Xi Xiaye, I admit that I’ve lost, or maybe I’ve never actually won against you, but I’ve never regret taking Yifeng away from you. I love him far more than you loved him. I’ve loved him since a long time ago. I love him now, and I’ll love him forever.”

She paused and turned towards Xi Xiaye. “You don’t really love Yifeng. If you were telling the truth, then why did you fall for Mu Yuchen so easily? I don’t think me fighting for my love was wrong. It’s just...”

“You weren’t wrong to fight for your love, but your methods were wrong. You can’t step on others to achieve your goal. What did I do to hurt you that you had to plot against me every time? If you really love Yifeng, you could’ve always opted for fair competition. I wouldn’t have interfered if Yifeng and you were truly in love with each other just like how I let go back then.”

Xi Xiaye only felt a tiny bit uncomfortable when she mentioned the past. “Things could’ve ended right there. Don’t forget who kept pushing my limits. While I care about my family, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have a bottom line and will just let you trample on me. Why should I still be loyal to Han Yifeng after he abandoned me? What’s the point of me waiting for something unfruitful?” Her tone was calm.

“Perhaps what happened to us was just the sequel of our parents’ tragedy. I can’t comment on their behavior, but from my own perspective, finding a partner with methods like that won’t last long. You need to learn how to love before being loved. Have you not learned anything from our parents’ incident? Our grandparents? Or even Han Yifeng and you?”

“Yifeng and I are in love. I know that he loves me...” Xi Xinyi could feel her heart aching at this moment as she was reminded of the past...

It had been so long. Would she be able to see Han Yifeng again? Could she still meet her son?

Mu Yuchen said he would give her a chance, but how?

The painful sensation in Xi Xinyi’s chest grew stronger.

“A lot of things can be lost throughout the span of a relationship. Han Yifeng told me before that he gave you too many chances, and you never appreciated any of them.” Xi Xiaye did not feel pitiful for Xi Xinyi at all, and her feelings were growing numb.

“Did he call you to say that? How’s my child?” Xi Xinyi quickly grabbed Xi Xiaye’s hand and asked.

“You should call him and ask yourself.”

“Do you think I’d be asking you these questions if he was willing to talk to me?” Xi Xinyi yelled impatiently, seeming defeated.

Han Yifeng had ignored her completely ever since he left. He would hang up on the call the moment he heard her voice. This kept on repeating every time she called, so she had no way to find out about how Han Yifeng and her son were doing over there. Besides that, the Han family would only give her a half-hearted reply when she approached them.

On top of Han Yifeng’s secrecy, Xi Xinyi really had no idea what was going on with them.

Xi Xiaye could sense the sorrow from her. She caught a glimpse of struggle and pain in her eyes. Eventually, she started to find her relatable. Perhaps the memories of the past were beginning to surface. She took a deep breath and turned around to say, “They are great. Father will be coming back at the end of this month.”

Then, she left her alone.

Xi Xinyi was stunned for a moment while she wondered what she meant. She turned around and saw that Xi Xiaye had already walked down the staircase.

Xi Xinyi just remained stationary as she watched her leave, and she started to feel a little lost.

What had she been working hard for?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Maybe there was no need for the two of them to be enemies from the beginning. If only she had been more forgiving, if only...

Unfortunately, they could never go back in time.

...

Mu Yuchen was waiting in the car when Xi Xiaye arrived. He quickly handed her a wet towel when she entered.

Xi Xiaye took it and cleaned herself, her little face seeming bleak.

“What’s the matter? Did she say something?” Mu Yuchen noticed that something was amiss, so he frowned. “I’ll get someone to bring her over...”

“It’s not about her. Let’s go.” Xi Xiaye put the towel aside. “We talked about the past and I don’t feel that comfortable. I’m not sure if I’m happy to see her like this too. I’m sure Father has similar feelings as me.”

“Are you pitying her?” He tilted his head and glanced at her.

Xi Xiaye shook her head. “That’s not it—”

She suddenly grabbed his hand and looked at her. “Xi Xinyi just told me that Yue Lingsi isn’t doing well. I heard that she wanted Father to go visit her, but I’m worried that Mother might...I hope the three of them could have a talk together, at least, to put an end to this.”
