Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Susu knew that she had lied to Xirong Ziye and felt guilty. However, she had no other choice. Xiamu Qingyan used a hooligan as her scapegoat, so at this point, Xirong Ziye would not know that this was a conspiracy.
“Xirong Ziye, I am still very thankful for you. After all, the other party is very powerful. I can’t get a hold over that person, and I don’t know any other people, so I could only ask you for help.”
“No need to thank me. I’m glad that I was able to help you. Take good care of yourself and your child next time.”
Actually, at this moment, Xirong Ziye could not wait to go back to Country X. He was in a hurry to go and meet Bai Yaoyao.
After seeing Zhuang Susu, his first love, it became more clear to him where his heart truly belonged. It was now clear how much Bai Yaoyao meant to him.
In fact, the only feeling he had towards Zhuang Susu was obsession. The love and hatred he felt in his youth had long disappeared.
However, no matter how bad Zhuang Susu felt, she still had to try her best to delay Xirong Ziye’s time.
“Xirong Ziye, you should find a good woman too and start a family.”
Hearing the word ‘family,’ Xirong Ziye’s heart shuddered. He met a good woman once. In the past, Bai Yaoyao had always yearned to start a family with him.
However, he had never promised to give her a family. Now, he wanted to give his whole world to her, but she no longer wanted it.
Xirong Ziye’s gaze blurred a little and was tinged with sadness. Zhuang Susu saw and knew this.
Zhuang Susu grappled with it in her heart, but she still could not help it and asked, “Xirong Ziye, you and Bai Yaoyao…” She felt like she could not complete her sentence after she spoke.
Xirong Ziye looked a little desolate. “Me and her? I don’t know either. I’m the one who let her down.”
“Xirong Ziye, you know, you’re actually a pretty good person, but when it comes to affairs of the heart, you easily lose your way and can’t tell what it is that you want.”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Susu continued, “This is what people mean when they say a person’s EQ is low. Don’t hate me for saying this, but I just hope you can be less stubborn. Girls need to feel taken care of, because once their hearts are broken, they cannot be mended back. You must treasure this lady.”
In fact, there was a hidden message in Zhuang Susu’s words. The lady she was referring to was Bai Yaoyao. She had always felt that Bai Yaoyao was a good lady.
Although they did not interact much back then, she still quite admired her straightforward personality.
Xirong Ziye tightened his grip on the teacup as his heart ached. “Susu, thank you for sharing this with me.”
If someone had said these words to him earlier, would he not have taken such a roundabout path before realizing that the person by his side was the one who mattered the most?
Xirong Ziye’s heart was throbbing in pain. He sucked in his breath before saying, “Susu, take care. I need to go now. If you need help, feel free to get in touch with me.”
Seeing that Xirong Ziye was about to leave, Zhuang Susu ended off by saying, “Ziye, back then, when I left, I had my own woes too. Not every woman is after money and status. There are women who are content with a sweet, loving relations.h.i.+p between two people.”
Hearing Zhuang Susu’s words, Xirong Ziye paused in his steps and turned immediately. “Susu, you…”
To be honest, he still held a grudge about what had happened back then. The reason for his wild ambition was also because he had a kind of obsession to gain more power. Not only did he want to tell himself that he was not any less than others, but he also wanted to tell himself that Zhuang Susu’s decision was wrong.
Seeing how Xirong Ziye was like now, Zhuang Susu could not help but worry for him. “Ziye, I’m telling you all this so that you can let go of the past and listen to your heart. Don’t miss this chance anymore.”
