Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Hongxing was momentarily at a loss for words. Could she confess that marrying Ye Qilan was entirely due to someone’s scheming behind the scenes?
Of course, it was undeniable that part of her decision to marry Ye Qilan was born out of utter despair.
Having lived with the Xiao family for so many years, she always believed she would eventually become the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. She was committed to Xiao Ji, assuming he was the man she would marry in this lifetime.
Yet Xiao Ji and Zhou Luhe jointly put on a play, giving her a harsh wake-up call, proving that she essentially meant nothing to them.
Xiao Ji was well aware of her past grievances with Zhou Luhe, and knew that Zhou Luhe was a woman who would not pass up any opportunity to trample her, yet he had been involved with Zhou Luhe three years ago.
“Then tell me, with so many good women in the world, why did you have to marry Zhou Luhe?!”
Su Hongxing asked softly.
This question had been troubling her for quite some time.
Xiao Ji could have married any woman in the world, yet he chose Zhou Luhe.
Xiao Ji wasn’t oblivious to how Zhou Luhe had treated her over the years. Every time Zhou Luhe insulted her, Xiao Ji had always played the role of the flower protector.
However, it was Xiao Ji, this man who was supposed to protect her, who, in collaboration with Zhou Luhe – the woman she despised the most – stabbed her in the heart with ruthlessness.
Xiao Ji was speechless in response to Su Hongxing’s question.
Indeed, what right did he have to criticize Su Hongxing?
He was the one who betrayed her first. He was also the first to turn around. Whoever Su Hongxing chose to be with next was her own business. He, Xiao Ji, no longer had the right to dictate her love life.
“Xingxing, I’m sorry. But 1 hope you remember that you need to take care of yourself at all times. Ye Qilan is not worthy of you. You deserve the best man. Listen to me and keep your distance from him. With your level of cultivation, you cannot possibly be his match.”
Xiao Ji reached out to touch her hair but was too hesitant to actually do it.
“It’s too late. I can’t turn back now,” Su Hongxing said, lowering her brows.
From the moment she and Ye Qilan walked into the civil affairs bureau, she knew her life and her love were out of sync.
Regardless of the future, she knew what she wanted.
She even felt that she and Ye Qilan were destined to be entangled with each other.
Sometimes when she was with Ye Qilan, she felt an incredible sense of compatibility, as if they had known each other for a long time.
“Why?! As long as you’re willing, you can definitely turn back!” Xiao Ji became anxious, grabbing Su Hongxing’s shoulders, hoping to fully awaken her.
Su Hongxing was silent for a while before responding, “Do you remember the dream I told you about?”
“The dream you’ve been having since you were a child?” Xiao Ji’s brow twitched, suddenly feeling tense.
“You always used to tell me that the man in my dream was you, that you were the one I was dreaming of. I used to believe that too. But after getting to know Ye Qilan, I realized that he was the man in my dream. The face of the man in my past dreams was always covered by a fog, but ever since meeting him, every time 1 have the same dream, it’s always his face, and it’s always very clear.”
Su Hongxing looked at Xiao Ji coldly: “Doesn’t this imply that we were wrong from the start?”
Perhaps their separation was an inevitable outcome.
Of course, Ye Qilan could not possibly be her true love. It was clear in her dreams that Ye Qilan would divorce her – it was just a matter of time.
“That’s not it…” Xiao Ji feebly rebutted.
If it weren’t for the fact that he knew Su Hongxing had been having strange dreams since she was a child, he would have thought Su Hongxing was joking..
