Chapter 359 – Convinced to Move; Misunderstandings and Broken Heart (9)
Once she confirmed that it was Gong Zixuan they were talking about, Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately looked very upset. She felt sad and almost heartbroken.
Wang Siwei was oblivious to the change in her emotion, he continued to tease, “Shi xiong Mo and shi mei Gong grew up together. Shi bo1 Mo and shi shu2 Gong both hoped that they’d get together. Was I right or was I right, shi xiong Mo? Hahahahaha…”
Grew up together?
Were childhood friends?
Cheng Xiao Xiao, biting her own lip turned to look at the man next to her steadily; a mist started to gather around her eyes.
“Yes, Xiao Xiao, I do know her, we are….”
“Alright, that’s enough…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was so upset that she got up abruptly and starting running downstairs without looking back while she threw down her words, “You guys eat, I am not hungry…”
She was so incredibly fast that by the time they realized what had happened she was already gone. Mo Xuanzun got worried and chased after her right away, “Xiao Xiao!!”
“…..”
The two handsome men looked at each other and Wang Siwei’s mouth dropped open and he said, “Everything I said was true, did I go too far?”
“What do you think” Ma Chaoyu shook his head, “If shi xiong Mo and Cheng Xiao Xiao is a couple, naturally there is nothing between him and shi mei Gong. You are so….”
After dashing out of the inn, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned into an alley and flashed into the dimension the first chance she got. She ran all the way to the crystal-fruit tree and went into deep thought.
“Young mistress….” Little Yuteng looked at her, worried. Her young mistress was not looking fine, plus she could sense that her young mistress’s mind was rushing a mile a minute.
“Let me be. I need some time!”
Leaning against the crystal-fruit tree, Cheng Xiao Xiao slid down to a squatting position. With her arms wrapped around her knees, tears began to fall.
“Young mistress….”
Little Yuteng opened her mouth but nothing came. Suddenly, she wasn’t interested in eating the crystal tree leaves any more. There’s a stuffy and unpleasant feeling inside of her and she just looked at the person under the tree helplessly.
Time passed by slowly inside the dimension.
After dashing out of the inn, Mo Xuanzun immediately used his mind’s eye to looked around the entire town and he wasn’t able to find Cheng Xiao Xiao. He started to get worried. With no care to how others were looking at him, he dashed back and forth inside the town at lightning speed looking for Cheng Xiao Xiao. His eyes anxious and unsettling.
If he wasn’t worried about the natives, he would have started shouting at the top of his lungs. Unfortunately, that was not an option, so he had no choice but just to run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.
He wasn’t stupid. Even though he had never been with a girl before, his shi mu had taught him a lot. He knew that he wasn’t ever supposed to let the girl he liked feel sad.
He saw it, back at the inn. He saw the sad and hurtful look on Cheng Xiao Xiao. He knew she had misunderstood.
That damn Wang Siwei!
He was angry and anxious. He had already looked though the entire town and wasn’t able to sense her whereabouts. He recalled that she disappeared all the time, and quite often without a trace. Just like right now, she must have went into hiding again!
He felt very regretful.
When he finally returned to Cheng Yu’s courtyard, he ran inside immediate and saw the man still cleaning up the blood on the ground. Anxiously, he asked, “Eleventh Elder, have you seen Xiao Xiao?”
“Xiao Xiao? I thought she was with you?” Cheng Yu was a little baffled. Seeing how he frantic Mo Xuanzun was, Cheng Yu couldn’t help but asked, “What happened when you two were out?”
“I….” Mo Xuanzun smacked himself on his head and said, “I had angered Xiao Xiao and now I don’t know where she went….”
“You think maybe she had gone home?”
