Chapter 32
She Can’t Bear to Treat Me Like This
Xie Xingyun stretched his long body and looked up at her with his head on his arms. His expression was calm. “She was a very silly girl.”
Bai Xianyu, “…”
She could not help but defend herself. “How was she silly?”
“Silly in every way,” he said. “She liked to talk about ‘a lifetime, ‘her entire life’, and ‘the rest of her life’ all the time…”
[We want to be harmonious and loving for the rest of our lives.]
[You’re the person I like the most in my entire life.]
[A lifetime is too short. I want to accompany you in my next life, the life after, and the next life after.]
But in the end, she said, “Xie Xingyun, I want to marry someone else in my next life.”
Xie Xingyun’s heart skipped a beat as he continued, “But there’s no such thing as a lifetime.”
Bai Xianyu fell silent for a moment before saying, “Maybe there was once.”
‘You were the one who didn’t cherish it.’
“Since you think she was silly, you might as well let her go,” she said pointedly. “It’ll be better for both of you.”
Xie Xingyun’s gaze was dark and unclear as he met her gaze. “She was very silly.”
Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. Could he not repeat this sentence?
She was very smart, okay?
“But I actually miss her,” he said slowly.
He wanted her to smile at him.
He thought about her every cute action and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes that were smiling like crescent moons.
Bai Xianyu was slightly stunned.
“Maybe you’re right.” Xie Xingyun did not notice her abnormality. “I should let her go.”
“At first, I thought you two were quite similar, but now I think you’re not like her at all.”
Bai Xianyu did not know what to say at this moment. If she had not been reborn, she might have thought that he was treating her as a substitute.
He looked away from her. “She couldn’t bear to say something so harsh to me.”
Bai Xianyu’s eyes flickered.
“Alright, you can leave.” Xie Xingyun said calmly, “I won’t look for you anymore.”
…
Bai Xianyu got out of the carriage and stood there for a while.
From what Xie Xingyun said, he probably would not come looking for her again.
She heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. After being entangled for two lifetimes, they were finally back to square one.
But Xie Xingyun actually said that he missed her.
One had to know that in her previous life, most of the romantic words she heard from him were when the two of them were intimate.
If she heard Xie Xingyun say “I miss you” when she was awake, she would probably think that he was sick and delirious.
In her previous life, she wanted to hear it so much, but she couldn’t.
In this life, he had said it very smoothly.
Bai Xianyu could not express what she was feeling.
However, she felt that she had forgotten something important.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xianyu’s pupils constricted. “Green Pearl.”
She had yet to ask him where Green Pearl was!
At this moment.
Green Pearl ran out of the residence with a few guards behind her. She shouted anxiously, “Miss, are you alright?”
Bai Xianyu looked at her in confusion and asked, “Why are you back earlier than me?”
Green Pearl first dismissed those she had found before saying, “I was just waiting for Miss to come out in front of the Marquis of Dingyuan’s Manor when a man in black suddenly appeared. He knocked me out without saying a word. Then, when I woke up, I was already in the backyard.”
The black outfit looked like Xiao Zheng’s usual attire.
Bai Xianyu thought to herself.
“He even left me a note. The note said, ‘My young master is borrowing your young lady’s carriage. There’s no need to worry.’ How could I not be worried? That’s why I found a few people to look for you after I woke up.”
