Chapter 21: Let's Get Engaged

  Qian Lian Xia turned around, coldly smiling as she looked at him. "You... when did you find out about my identity?"

  Ye Song's face turned pale, his long eyes filled with shock, he stared at her, his eyes narrowing slightly, "These, were all told to you by Si Tu Shang Xuan?"

  Qian Lian Xia's eyes suddenly dimmed, and all the thorns on her body that could protect herself seemed to be dyed with a sorrowful color. "Who told me it was important? What's important is that Ye Shuang Ge, you've used me again."

  Qian Lian Xia bit her lower lip, letting out a cold laugh as the pain spread endlessly around her. "For your sake, you can disregard my life or death, easily treating it as nothing; for your sake, you can allow your woman to humiliate me, not caring in the least, and even when I was rescued at the last moment, it wasn't you, but Shang Xuan Gege; for your sake, you can use me again and again, hurting me time and time again. Ye Song, I never knew that someone's affection could be so cheap, so cheap that it makes me feel like all the affections I've experienced before are more noble than yours!!"

  Outside the window, the sky is white and cloudy, each cloud is constantly pursuing, with that one red and white heart, always pursuing. What it can't see is that in this world, there is another pure and kind heart, from now on stained with a dirty spot, never to return to its original state again.

  Her mocking gaze stung his eyes, Ye Song's clear and bright long eyelashes lost all their color, her black pupils looked at her sorrowfully, stretching out her hand to hold her in his arms, "Little girl, listen to me explain?"

  She took a step back with her body, seemingly afraid to get close to him like a fierce beast.

  Ye Sheng Ge's hand awkwardly hovered in mid-air, seeing her fearful and terrified expression, a hint of sourness emerged from the corner of his heart, slowly seeping into his heart. "I'm sorry, I admit I used you, but I absolutely did not let Zi Xi kidnap you, nor humiliate you, believe me!"

  "Do you believe me?" Qian Lixia savored the words, her tone unclear whether it was self-mockery or ridicule. "Ye Shuangge, do you always play this trick? Are you used to using someone and then telling them that you had a good reason for doing so, making them believe you? Do you think that's possible?"

  "You may not believe me," Ye Song smiled deeply, looking into her mocking eyes, feeling his internal organs condensing together, "but I like you, this is true."

  "That's enough! Don't say that again!!"

  Senri Natsuya roared at him, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. With a somewhat irritated and angry tone, she said: "Can't you, can't you stop using this excuse every time to comfort me, to comfort yourself that everything you do is right?!"

  "What is your liking? Ye Sheng Ge, what exactly is your liking? Your liking is using me time and time again, then telling me you had a good reason for using me; your liking is saying over and over that you like me, how much you like me, but yet you let another woman get pregnant with your child, making me witness it with my own eyes. Is this what you call liking?! Qian Lian Xia's eyes turned red as she loudly accused him, unknowingly, tears filled her entire face."

  She quickly turned around, fiercely wiping away the tears on her face. The coolness seeped in, bit by bit, soothing her heart, but the pain was unbearable.

  Ye Sheng Ge didn't make any excuses for himself anymore, and Qian Lixia also didn't say another word, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

  After a long time, Qian Lian Xia finally calmed down her emotions and walked past him with exhaustion, rubbing her forehead. "Ye Sheng Ge, I'm tired, I'm really tired."

  She walked past him, and Ye Shengge fearfully stretched out a hand to grasp her wrist, holding it tightly as if he would never let go again.

  Qian Lian Xia didn't struggle, letting him hold her, her voice was hoarse as she said, "You know, you're too complicated, I just want to live a peaceful life, don't want to get involved in your schemes. So no matter what happened between us before, from now on, when we meet again, we'll be strangers."

  She ignored his hand grasping her wrist and walked slowly outwards.

  Ye Song's hand, which was holding her wrist, was slowly pulled away, and finally, at the moment when he could no longer hold on, his palm let go of her wrist, leaving her shadow stretching out long behind him in the sunlight.

  Qian Lian Xia rushed out of the office, running wildly down the corridor, down the stairs and out of the hospital gate, her footsteps never stopping.

  There was never a moment when she wanted to escape this place, escape him, and escape her own heart so badly. It's all over now, everything is over, when he admitted his identity with his own mouth, when he acknowledged the reality of everything, she could only deceive herself with illusions that were shattered and left no trace.

  Sunlight is dancing among the scattered leaves on the street, revealing someone's tear stains so clearly.

  Qian Lian Xia ran non-stop to the villa where Si Tu Shang Xuan was, and the butler, seeing it was her, immediately warmly invited her into the villa and eagerly told her that Si Tu Shang Xuan was upstairs.

  The windows of the study were all open, blending the cold autumn wind with the warm sunshine, blowing into this space refreshingly.

  Qian Lian Xia stood at the door of the study, staring blankly at the man standing in front of the window. His tall and straight figure, his golden hair hanging down to his shoulders, gave off an air of nobility that was otherworldly. Just one glance at his back made him seem like a celestial being who had transcended the mundane world. Qian Lian Xia even felt that her own presence would desecrate his sacredness.

  What more could she be dissatisfied with, loved by such a man?

  Xīng Zhāng Xuān seemed to have heard the movement at the door, and when he saw that it was Qiàn Liàn Xià standing there, his sharp gaze softened, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. "Jiǔ Jiǔ, how did you think of coming here?" He had thought she would never come back after leaving yesterday.

  Qian Lian Xia walked step by step towards him, the closer she got to him, the bigger the smile on her face became, until she stood in front of him, still smiling.

  His tall and majestic figure contrasted with her petite frame, and Situ Shangxuan immediately noticed the tear stains at the corners of her eyes. "Have you been crying?"

  His fingertips were just about to touch her cheek when Chihiro suddenly opened her arms and hugged his waist, pressing her cheek against her chest.

  Cen Shangxuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he placed the hand that had not been withdrawn on her thin back, patting gently. "Zhou Zhou, tell me, what happened?"

  Senri Natsuya's cheek was pressed against his chest, and the unique scent of clear spring water on him gently floated into her nostrils. Senri Natsuya took a deep breath, buried in his chest, and said firmly: "Shang Xuan brother, let's get engaged!"
