“No need!” Ji Baili turned down the offer straight away.

Mu Cidian looked at him.

“Xin Zaozao has made it clear in front of my parents, there’s no turning back. No matter what you say now, it just makes my parents believe that you both are colluding to deceive them. For a moment, I even thought you and Xin Zaozao might be pretending. ” Ji Baili said, “If I didn’t know Xin Zaozao’s character, I would really think everything you’re saying is made up!”

Mu Cidian maintained an austere countenance.

“So, it’S impossible to persuade my parents. What’s more, even if my parents believed, what can it change? The fact that Xin Zaozao had nothing to do with you is known worldwide. My parents would not swallow their pride to accept Xin Zaozao. Alright, even if these weren’t so important, and I don’t care about causing a rift with my family for Xin Zaozao’s sake. But… Xin Zaozao, in front of my parents, has irrevocably stated that she does not love me and has never harbored any feelings for me.”

“She just doesn’t want you to become alienated from everyone for her sake.” Mu Cidian was confident of this.

He knew Xin Zaozao well enough to predict her actions.

He knew what Xin Zaozao dreaded the most was affecting others’ families.

She yearned to have a warm, loving family. That’s why she placed family first, and that’s why she would take on everything herself, not letting Ji Baili quarrel with his family for her.

“Maybe.” Ji Baili nodded. He understood Xin Zaozao’s character, knew all her actions were just to protect him. But, “if Xin Zaozao thinks something else is more important than me, if she’s not certain about our feelings, what’s the point of my efforts? My family is sure to prejudice against Xin Zaozao, I’m sure to face opposition from my family If I keep staying with Xin Zaozao. If Xin Zaozao keeps backing down, how long can I stand alone?”

Mu Cidian went silent.

Ji Baili said, “I admit that I like Xin Zaozao a lot, I desire to be with her, I do not even care about her past, even if standing in front of you right now I feel like killing you. But I understand that Zaozao’s past is filled with painful experiences she didn’t wish to go through. I don’t need to trap myself in this dead-end! But I need a woman who loves me equally. I need someone who, when something happens, thinks about how we will face it together instead of shouldering all the responsibility alone. This only implies one thing, Xin Zaozao does not love me. At least, she doesn’t love me that much!”

“Give her more time, she needs time to recover from everything she has been through with me, to unlock her heart, she needs time…”

“So.” Ji Baili interrupted Mu Cidian, “Why should I force her to be with me, adding to the psychological presspre she’s exppriencing from my family. If she needs time. each of can give it to each other

She can use whatever methods she thinks is best to handle today’s events, and I will accept all her arrangements for me!”

Mu Cidian stopped talking.

Ji Baili had a clearer thought process than him.

Ji Baili hadn’t chosen to let go of Xin Zaozao simply because she isn’t ‘clean’.

More words would be pointless.

Ji Baili cast a cold glance at Mu Cidian as he prepared to leave, saying, “Mu Cidian, the biggest regret of your life should be losing Xin Zaozao who loved you so much. And my life’s biggest regret is, being given the death sentence before Xin Zaozao fell in love with me. Perhaps, neither of us are meant to be with Xin Zaozao.”

Perhaps, neither of us are meant to be with Xin Zaozao.

This sentence kept echoing in Mu Cidian’s mind, echoing repeatedly.

Xin Zaozao woke up.

It was already past 8 in the evening.

She didn’t expect she would fall asleep.

She thought she would be up all night.

She got up from the bed and headed to the living room.

Luo Xiaolang was playing games on the couch in the living room and looked back when he felt her wake.

“Has Song Zhizhi gone?” Xin Zaozao asked.

“Hmm. She left after you fell asleep.” Luo Xiaolang said, “Are you hungry? I can order delivery for you.”

“No need, I have to go.”

Luo Xiaolang furrowed his brows, “Song Zhizhi asked me to keep an eye on you.”

Xin Zaozao smiled, “Thanks, I’m fine. No need.”

Luo Xiaolang tightened his lips and didn’t say anything more.

Xin Zaozao said, “Keep playing, I’ll leave first.”

Luo Xiaolang turned to look at her again.

But Song Zhizhi hadn’t asked her to follow Xin Zaozao, so he said nothing.

Xin Zaozao left Luo Xiaolang’s home and hailed a taxi outside the community, stating the address for the Xin Family’s Villa.

Yes.

She would eventually return.

If she doesn’t return, Wan Quan and Mu Cidian may think she’s genuinely afraid of them.

She’s not afraid!

After this time, she’s less afraid than ever!

The taxi soon parked in front of the main gate.

Xin Zaozao got out of the car and headed back.

With a cold face, she stepped into the main gate.

At the entrance.

Mu Cidian was standing there.

Just standing there.

She did not know how long he had been standing there.

She did not look at him.

She knew without looking, Mu Cidian was just waiting to mock her.

She was listening.

She would listen coldly, but one day, she would retaliate.

She would retaliate desperately.

Xin Zaozao coldly walked past Mu Cidian.

Unexpectedly, Mu Cidian didn’t say anything, as if he was just standing at the door, watching the scenery.

Xin Zaozao smirked.

Mu Cidian was not so leisurely.

At that moment, she, in turn, stopped, looked at him, and said, “If you have something sarcastic to say, say it all at once, I’m listening.”

Xin Zaozao probably thought that he was waiting for her, waiting to strike her down.

But actually, no.

He just didn’t want to go inside this house, nor did he want to leave.

He had been standing at the door for a long time… maybe, he was waiting for her after all.

Because he was very clear, she would surely return here.

The. Xin Zaozao of now. wherever she fell. she. would get un from there.

“Will you say nothing? If you don’t, then I’ll go.” Xin Zaozao said, indifferently.

Mu Cidian suddenly grabbed her.

Xin Zaozao’s face changed instantly.

She glared furiously at Mu Cidian, at his sudden closeness, and the strong smell of alcohol on his body.

So happy that he drank to celebrate, huh?!

“If I say I’m sorry, will you accept it?” Mu Cidian asked her. “Yes.” Xin Zaozao said, “No matter what you say, I’ll accept it!”

Mu Cidian•s face was tense.

“Like that night, saying you’re sorry, apologizing for the many hurts you’ve caused, saying you’ll figure out a way to leave with your mother, like that night, wishing me and Ji Baili well, ” Xin Zaozao said calmly, having experienced such earth-shattering events today, she was still so indifferent, “No matter what you say, I accept it. It’s just words, after all, it’s just for a greater revenge. Mu Cidian, what can’t I accept about you? What haven’t I accepted from childhood till now?!”

Mu Cidian stared intently at Xin Zaozao, at the cynicism on her face.

Xin Zaozao pushed him away.

She didn’t use much force, but Mu Cidian had already let go of her arm.

Xin Zaozao said, “Mu Cidian, in the first half of my life, I admit I’ve fallen into your hands, and it was miserable, unbearable! But in the second half of my life, I would make everything I’ve endured in the past worse on your mother and you!”

Having said this, she walked past him.

Mu Cidian just watched her back, her strong back.

His lips moved slightly.

There was no sound at that moment, but his lips were saying, good.

He was waiting.

He was waiting for her intensified revenge.

He was waiting for her to take revenge on him until she was satisfied.

Mu Cidian walked into the villa.

Inside the villa, Wan Quan was watching TV in the living room.

Seeing Xin Zaozao return, a venomous smile spread across her face. She sarcastically said, “Xin Zaozao, you actually have the audacity to come back?! With your shameless and indecent behavior, why don’t you just drown yourself in the river!”

Xin Zaozao paused for a moment.

She looked at Wan Quan, “The shameless couple in the video is not just me, Xin Zaozao!”

That sentence was mocking Wan Quan, mocking Mu Cidian.

To trample on herself, but also to retaliate!

Wan Quan sprang up from the sofa, “You slut, if you hadn’t seduced my son…”

‘Yes, if I hadn’t been able to hook up with your son, would you have such a great video that got me kicked out of the Ji Family? You should be grateful you have a son who’s like a beast, ready to mate with anyone he sees!”
