“I’ve grown accustomed to living outside, I won’t be moving back in for now,” Su Hongxing stated, holding back some of her true feelings.
Ever since she saw the elderly Lady Jiang and Jiang Su, she had made up her mind to leave Taicheng as soon as possible, to distance herself from the chaos here.
Besides those of Xiao’s parents, there was no one nor anything in Taicheng she held any fondness for. Since obtaining money from Ye Qilan was not so simple, she might as well sign the divorce papers as soon as possible, as long as she could leave behind this messy state of affairs and people.
Despite her stubbornness, she could fully support herself.
Xiao’s mother tried to persuade her for a long time, yet she was completely unable to change Su Hongxing’s decision. Even when she asked Su Hongxing to stay for lunch, Su Hongxing declined.
Finally, Xiao Ji walked Su Hongxing out of their residence.
Once they were out of sight of his mother, Su Hongxing said to Xiao Ji, “Try to spend more time with your mother. I noticed that her hair is showing more of its gray.”
As one advances in age, they cannot resist the relentless assault of time. Every time one visits after a while, they discover more wrinkles, more gray hair, and less energy than before.
Having been abandoned by her parents at a young age, she knows the preciousness of familial love, something Xiao Ji doesn’t quite comprehend.
Many people believe they have ample time to spend with those they care for. But life is unpredictable, some things, if not cherished when they should be, will be lost when one yearns to treasure them the most, only to realize that person is no longer with them.
“You’ve already made such statements to my mother numerous times. Hongxing, what exactly are you planning on doing?!” Xiao Ji locked his gaze onto Su Hongxing.
He knew this woman too well. If she decided to leave, how would he keep her?
He never considered, what his life would look like if one day Su Hongxing was not a part of it.
Su Hongxing paused, looking at Xiao Ji, “Once I’ve settled some personal matters, I’ll leave Taicheng and travel around. But rest assured, I’ll only leave after I attend your wedding with Zhou Luhe.”
How could she possibly miss Xiao Ji and Zhou Luhe’s wedding?
One is the man she thought she would spend her life with, the other is the so- called sister who has entangled her for the past twenty years. No matter what, she needs to be there in person to celebrate.
“You can’t go!!” Xiao Ji expressed with excitement.
He thought that no matter how far she went, she would still be in this city, and when he missed her, he could sneak out to see her.
But he never considered that she’d already decided to leave.
“Hongxing, listen to me. You were born and raised here, this is your hometown, you can’t leave…”
Su Hongxing quietly watched Xiao Ji, saying nothing.
“Are you listening to me? Wiry are you so adamant about leaving? Is it because of Ye Qilan? Or is it the fact that Beichuan has some unscrupulous intentions, leaving you no choice but to leave?!” Xiao Ji thought of the recent rampant rumors of Cao Ye’s impending engagement.
He had long wanted to ask these questions, but he was too shy to see Su Hongxing, and hence postponed them repeatedly.
“All you need to do is to take care of yourself. Xiao Ji, if you choose to climb up the ladder, you must succeed. That would make me feel like sacrificing our relationship is worth it. If you let go of me, and still don’t succeed, that would be laughable. I hope that one day you’ll become the most successful man in the world, you have the ability!”
