Xi Tian heaved a sigh of relief when Xi Chenxiao chose not to punish him. He stood up and immediately went to get the car, afraid that Xi Chenxiao would change his mind. Xi Chenxiao also stood up with a hint of panic in his eyes and anxiety in his heart. When Bai Xue saw that Xi Chenxiao was about to leave, she stood up immediately and asked in a choked voice, “Brother Xi, can I come with you to meet sister-in-law?”
Xi Chenxiao rejected Bai Xue without even thinking. Bai Xue felt even more aggrieved and tears rolled down her face. She cried so hard that people’s heart would ache for her. How could Xi Chenxiao be so cold and heartless?
Bai Xue cried while she secretly observed Xi Chenxiao. See that there was no change in his expression, she continued sobbing, “Why not?”
“I also want to quickly get to know sister-in-law and become her best friend.”
“Even this won’t do?”
Xi Chenxiao looked at Bai Xue coldly. From the bedroom fiasco just now, he knew that this girl was a troublemaker. Now that the misunderstanding had not even been cleared up, letting this girl go would only make things worse. It would make things even more difficult to explain.
Xi Chenxiao couldn’t give Bai Xue another chance to make trouble, so he replied coldly, “Madam doesn’t need a best friend.”
Especially a best friend who’s trying to steal her man. Xi Chenxiao had always thought that this girl was the same innocent and kind girl when she was young. He didn’t expect the grown-up version of her to be scheming and unscrupulous. Xi Chenxiao had even thought about throwing her out.
When Bai Xue saw the coldness and disgust in Xi Chenxiao’s eyes, she cried even more pitifully and said in a choked voice, “Brother Xi, I’m sorry.”
“I know what happened just now was my fault.”
“Actually, I’ve loved you since we were little. That’s why I risked my life to save you.”
“I just didn’t expect that I still want to be with you when we meet again after so many years.”
When Xi Chenxiao heard this, the image of a little figure who risked her life to save him when they were young appeared in his mind. The disgust in his eyes instantly lessened. It was replaced by guilt and heartache. The little girl back then had stayed up all night to study medicine to save him. She was so small and thin, but she insisted on going up the mountain to find herbs, her fair hands blistered and callused.
When Bai Xue saw the change in Xi Chenxiao’s expression, a smile appeared on her face, but she quickly retracted it. She knew that bringing up the past would make Xi Chenxiao feel guilty. Otherwise, he might really chase her away at any moment.
Bai Xue sobbed a few more times and said quickly to Xi Chenxiao, taking advantage of her victory, “Brother Xi, I know you don’t like me. You hate me.”
“I won’t be so shameless as to continue bothering you.”
“I’m going to pack up and leave now.”
With that, Bai Xue walked up the stairs, crying even more miserably. This was how she would manipulate Xi Chenxiao so that he’d feel guilt towards her forever. Only then would she have a chance at getting him.
Xi Chenxiao frowned when he saw that Bai Xue was about to go and pack her things. He was awash with guilt as he said, “I don’t hate you. You don’t have to leave.”
Even though this woman had done things that made Xi Chenxiao detest her, she was still his savior. Xi Chenxiao wouldn’t just chase her away. He would never forget how Bai Xue had saved his life when they were young.
Bai Xue immediately stopped crying. With tears still on her face, she asked in surprise, “Really?”
“Brother Xi, you really don’t hate me?”
Xi Chenxiao heard the car pull up at this moment and didn’t want to waste more time with Bai Xue. The most important thing right now was to quickly go see Su Jin. He couldn’t let Su Jin misunderstand him. Xi Chenxiao knew that there were many people who cared about Su Jin. Just so he could leave quickly, Xi Chenxiao nodded perfunctorily.
At this moment, Xi Tian walked over and said respectfully, “Chairman, the car is ready.”
Xi Chenxiao turned and strode away without hesitation. Bai Xue watched Xi Chenxiao’s back as he left, her eyes filled with infatuation but also coldness. She had put in so much effort, but in the end, Xi Chenxiao treated her like this? This was not what she wanted. Bai Xue sneered and muttered to herself, “Xi Chenxiao, I’ve given you a chance.”
“Since you didn’t take it, don’t blame me.”
“You can only be mine, and mine alone!”
