Bab 4: Chapter 4: Unable to Escape the Fate of Being Abandoned _1
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Xingxing, I really do love you. Just wait for me, one day I will—"
Xiao Ji didn't get to finish when Su Hongxing harshly slapped him.
Her eyes were red from crying, her look towards him filled with hatred, "Don't tell me about love. That word is as cheap as 'I'm Sorry'. I won't wait for you. Because I'm getting married as well."
She had been looking for him, wanting to hear directly from him that the marriage certificate Zhou Luhe had shown her was a sham.
Turns out, it wasn't a misconception.
Like her parents, Xiao Ji had abandoned her too.
They once lavished her with infinite love, only to then abandon her during her happiest moments.
If they couldn't stay with her till the end, why make promises, swearing to never leave her side in this life?
It was all false—promises were as worthless as tears and as easily shattered as bubbles.
Xiao Ji, his eyes flushed in agitation said, "Xingxing, don't say such mean things; you are not that kind of woman…"
The answer he got was the sound of a slamming door from Su Hongxing.
Xiao Ji's mother, seeing Su Hongxing's swollen eyes, asked worriedly, "Who upset you, kiddo? Was it that rotten boy of mine, Xiao Ji? Tell me what he did to you, and I'll scold him for you!"
Sniffling, Su Hongxing shook her head, "I won't be having breakfast. I've plans with my classmates and running late."
Xiao Ji's parents treated her like their own, and she didn't want to cause them worry over her problems with Xiao Ji.
Once out of the residential area, she stood amongst the hustle and bustle, lost and directionless.
She had thought that after graduation, she would marry Xiao Ji, without any rush to find a job. That could be figured out after the wedding. She had assumed he would be able to arrange a position for her in his company. She once thought they would be a perfect couple.
But sometimes plans can't keep up with reality. How could she have known that Xiao Ji was married, and the bride wasn't her?
In her future life, Xiao Ji had no place in her plans.
This realization terrified her. She couldn't imagine how to live a life without Xiao Ji.
When Xiao Ji gets married, would he and Zhou Luhe live in the house? Could she, then, continue living in the Xiao family home, pretending as if nothing happened in front of him and his bride?
Despite the scorching weather, Su Hongxing felt an intense chill down deep into her bones.
She was a simple woman with no great ambitions, content if she was warm and well-fed.
But without the Xiao family, would being warm and well-fed now become a luxury for her?
As Su Hongxing stood there, clearly lost, a Range Rover pulled up beside her.
"Miss Su, Mr. Ye invites you." Bai Chen opened the car door.
Su Hongxing bent to look into the back seat of the car. Ye Qilan, handsome and elegant, was sitting there.
The man's noble aura was palpable, every move exuding elegance. A beautiful face, distinct features, all blurring slightly in the play of light and shadows.
She was reminded of a dream where his face appeared.
Without thinking any further, she got in the car, sat beside Ye Qilan and asked softly, "Why me?"
Compared to the other four women, she was unremarkably ordinary. So ordinary, in fact, that if thrown into a crowd, one might lose sight of her instantly.
In truth, she was not pretty—chubby as she was, only Xiao Ji was understanding enough to not care.
No, in the end, even Xiao Ji had abandoned her…
"I like you." The succinct reply came from Ye Qilan.
