Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 609: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes

Xie Mingyu was anxiously waiting for Shangxue’s reply when Lin Yue suddenly patted his shoulder, startling him.

"Who?"

Lin Yue was also startled, hurriedly stepping back and saying nervously, "It’s me. Why did you react so strongly? This is your home; could there be someone else?"

"Why is it you?" Xie Mingyu frowned.

Lin Yue said, "You’re the one who sent us the invitation. Did you forget? If you hadn’t invited us, I wouldn’t have come, given how busy I am."

Xie Mingyu also felt that his reaction was a bit excessive earlier, apologized, and continued to crane his neck to peek inside, hoping Shangxue would respond.

However, Shangxue did not reply, and Lin Yue followed his gaze and saw Shangxue as well.

"You’re watching Shangxue? If you want to watch, do it openly. Why sneak around? This is your home; she’s your person. Why would you need to sneak a look?"

"What do you know? She’s no longer my person," Xie Mingyu said with a sullen face.

This was the first time he had said these words, and after saying them, a wave of melancholy washed over his heart.

Even though Shangxue had left three years ago without a trace, he never thought she wasn’t his person.

But today, he truly felt that Shangxue no longer belonged to him.

Just like Tingyu, like Wangyue, like Xunyou, they have their own lives and people they care about. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And their departures did not sadden him; he was only happy for them.

But with Shangxue, he couldn’t be happy; only a deep sadness filled his heart.

After roaming the world freely for so long, it was the first time he felt a hopeless sadness.

"What don’t I understand?" Lin Yue said, "I went through great lengths to win Ningning back, didn’t I? I understand how you feel now—not cherishing when someone likes you, and when you start cherishing, the other wants to give up. It’s unwillingness, pain, regret, and a mix of feelings."

Xie Mingyu raised his eyes and glared at him furiously.

Lin Yue quickly said, "Don’t glare at me. I’m speaking the truth."

"So what should I do now? You’ve had the experience; can you help me?" Xie Mingyu asked lowly.

He actually used the words "can you," which truly surprised Lin Yue.

When did the proud Xie Mingyu start speaking in such a tone?

"Of course I can. Young Master Xie is asking me; how can I say I can’t?" Lin Yue smiled lightly.

The Xie Family indeed hosted a three-day banquet to entertain the guests visiting their Young Master.

From then on, Xie Yan officially became a descendant of the Xie Family, known throughout the city.

Three days later, the guests gradually left.

And during these three days, Xie Mingyu did not seek out Shangxue again, as if accepting that Shangxue already had a boyfriend.

On the contrary, Shangxue felt uneasy and restless. As a guest, she was arranged a place to stay by the Xie Family for these three days.

Originally, she didn’t want to stay with the Xie Family because she had already booked a hotel outside.

But Tingyu and Wangyue insisted she stay, saying the sisters hadn’t met in a while, and it was a great chance to chat.

Cheng Yue, being a man, naturally couldn’t stay with them, especially since they were staying in the inner residence.

So, Cheng Yue stayed with Wu Wei.

Qiao Yichen, to take care of them, gave up his relative privileges to stay with them as well.

"Young Master Yichen is such a good person," Shangxue sighed.

Wangyue said, "Of course, especially when you see whose man he is."

"Indeed, you’re impressive for winning over such a good man as Young Master Yichen," Tingyu joked.

Wangyue quickly said, "It’s not me who won him over; it’s he who pursued me."

However, Shangxue’s unease didn’t lessen, and she contacted Cheng Yue from time to time, fearing that Xie Mingyu might suddenly go crazy and rush over to kill Cheng Yue.

Luckily, Cheng Yue always replied, assuring her everything was fine and Xie Mingyu hadn’t troubled him.

Not only did he leave Cheng Yue alone, but he hadn’t sought out Shangxue either.

This gradually eased Shangxue’s heart, though it left her feeling bittersweet.

It seemed Xie Mingyu had indeed moved on.

Three days later, everyone gradually departed.

Tingyu and Wu Wei had to leave, as they had children at home who they hadn’t brought, so they naturally couldn’t stay long.

Wangyue and Qiao Yichen, though they brought their child, had to leave too because Qiao Yichen was very busy.

Wangyue left with him, so she had to go too.

Xunyou was even quicker; she ran off the next day, with Feng Jiuzun leaving alongside her.

Only Shangxue remained, and it didn’t feel right to stay, so she said goodbye to Old Sir Xie alongside Cheng Yue.

She didn’t go to find Xie Mingyu, fearing he might trouble Cheng Yue again.

Instead, she visited Old Sir Xie to bid farewell.

Old Sir Xie looked at Shangxue and Cheng Yue standing together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and couldn’t help but sigh. He said to Shangxue, "When Yu’er brought the four of you here, I was wondering if any of you could become my granddaughter-in-law? But Yu’er really treats all four of you as family and sisters, so gradually, I gave up on that thought. Until you devotedly stayed beside Yu’er, more than the other three, and I regained hope. Unexpectedly, in the end, your bond was too thin."

"It’s all my fault; I failed to live up to Old Sir’s goodwill," Shangxue apologized softly.

Old Sir Xie waved his hand, "The bond between men and women is like this; no one fails anyone. Having a bond is naturally good, but if not, we can’t force it. Seeing you now with Mr. Cheng, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, I feel at ease. From now on, the Xie Family will always be your family; you can always rely on us."

"Rest assured, the Xie Family will always be my home," Shangxue said.

Cheng Yue also promptly assured, "Old Sir, rest assured, I will treat Shangxue well; I will never fail her."

"That’s good; seeing you well, I feel at ease, and Yu’er can rest easy too," Old Sir Xie said.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran over and reported to Old Sir Xie, "Something’s wrong, Old Sir; the Young Master is ill."

"What? Yanyan is ill?" Old Sir Xie, upon hearing it, stood up in anxiety.

Shangxue was also startled and quickly asked, "What’s the illness? What happened?"

The servant said, "Not sure what happened; suddenly developed a fever. Maybe caught cold with so many people around these days or got frightened."

"Hurry and check," Old Sir Xie urged.

Shangxue also followed after.

However, Old Sir Xie realized Shangxue was coming halfway, so he advised her, "Shangxue, you should leave first! This is the Xie Family’s matter; you needn’t bother."

Shangxue hastily said, "Old Sir, Yanyan is also my son. How can I leave when he’s sick? Though his surname is Xie, he’s still my child; you can’t completely erase our relationship."

"I am not erasing your relationship with him, but you now have your own boyfriend. Let go of past matters, so they don’t affect your current life," Old Sir Xie advised earnestly.
