Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 617: The CEO’s Pursuit Turns into a Crematory of Heartbreak
Yao Min widened her eyes, looking at Shangxue in astonishment, seemingly not expecting her to see through her.
"How did you guess it?" Yao Min asked.
Shangxue smiled slightly and said slowly, "You haven’t come looking for Cheng Yue for two years, and now you suddenly appear. That’s suspicious in itself. And coincidentally, I’m smarter than you imagined."
"Yes, someone found me and asked me to come to Cheng Yue. They said if I came to him, they would give me great benefits. Actually, the reason I agreed isn’t entirely about the benefits. I love Cheng Yue, that’s also true. We were separated because of various misunderstandings. As long as we’re willing to put those aside, we can be together again."
"But with so many misunderstandings between you, can you really let them go and be together again?" Shangxue asked.
"Why can’t we? If they’re all misunderstandings, why can’t we be together?" Yao Min said.
"But you’ve been through a lot together, and a lot has happened." Shangxue said.
Yao Min confidently said, "But as long as we love each other, those misunderstandings and grudges aren’t a problem. I still love Cheng Yue. I know this very clearly in my heart, and I also believe he hasn’t forgotten me. It’s just that meeting you made him lose sight of his feelings, so he rejected me wanting to be with you. And you don’t really like him, do you?"
Shangxue suddenly laughed.
Yao Min frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Shangxue shook her head, "I’m not laughing at you. I just suddenly realize... you’re very smart too, at least in understanding problems more clearly than I do."
"Of course. I’ve always been smart." Yao Min said.
Shangxue said, "So you’re right. I don’t love Cheng Yue. The reason I agreed to be with him was also because he seemed suitable. But now that I see, he’s not suitable, at least I have no interest in being someone else’s mother. Don’t worry, I’ll make it clear to him. As for whether he’ll accept you, I can’t control that. It’s up to you."
After finishing, Shangxue stood up and left.
Yao Min breathed a sigh of relief.
She believed that as long as Shangxue gave up Cheng Yue, sooner or later Cheng Yue would return to her.
"Shangxue, what did she say to you? Whatever she said, don’t believe it. I truly like you." Cheng Yue hurriedly expressed his feelings to Shangxue upon seeing her return.
Shangxue looked at him tenderly and slowly asked, "Cheng Yue, do you really understand me?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yue’s heart skipped a beat.
"What I mean is, I came back this time to tell you, I’m sorry, I’m going back on my word. I can’t leave the Xie Family, nor can I accept you again. Initially, I was full of guilt towards you and thought of ways to make it up to you. But after talking with Miss Yao, I realized, I was being self-indulgent, and you shouldn’t be that distressed. However, since I brought it up first, to compensate you, I will try to gain you some benefits." Shangxue said slowly.
"Shangxue, are you really breaking up with me?" Cheng Yue asked painfully, "Are you going back to Xie Mingyu? I’ve waited for you for so long and you’re still going to leave me?"
"Cheng Yue, you’re not waiting for me, you’re waiting for your mother’s forgiveness, for letting go of guilt." Shangxue said.
Cheng Yue was stunned, his face turned pale.
"Did Yao Min tell you everything?"
"I still remember the surprised expression on your face the first time you saw me. Then you confessed your love, saying it was love at first sight. At that time, I thought, I had no feelings for you at all, how could you have love at first sight for me? You’re not an impulsive eighteen-year-old full of passion. At your age, you should have moved past that unrealistic stage. Now I understand, it’s because I resemble your mother, right?"
Cheng Yue lowered his head.
Shangxue said, "I don’t blame you for liking me as you liked your mother. After all, I’ve never liked you. Not only do I not blame you, but I’m also grateful for your company these past two years. In fact, I’ve accompanied you in letting go of your guilt towards your mother. I won’t urge you to accept Yao Min, that’s between you two, and please understand this and don’t entangle anymore."
"Alright, I understand... you are indeed... Shangxue. So you’ve decided to return to Xie Mingyu? Even after everything that’s happened, even if he doesn’t love you that much?" Cheng Yue asked bitterly.
Shangxue said, "I know whether he loves me or not. Liking is a personal matter, but love is about two people. I came back today just to tell you these things. Now that I’ve said them, it’s time for me to leave."
After finishing, Shangxue turned and left.
She walked away resolutely, without a trace of nostalgia.
Cheng Yue stared blankly at Shangxue’s departing figure.
Did he really not truly like her?
Perhaps the so-called love at first sight was indeed because of her appearance.
But after these two years together, he’s not even sure whether he truly felt something.
Yao Min came over, hugging Cheng Yue’s arm and said, "Stop looking, what’s not yours isn’t yours. I’m the one who should be by your side."
Cheng Yue turned his head to look at Yao Min.
They have quarreled through half of their lives, returning at the end of their journey to still be old friends.
Xie Mingyu lay in the yard brooding.
He wasn’t really ill, but due to days of staying up and fatigue, he was somewhat weak.
But now, as he continued brooding, it seemed a genuine illness had taken hold.
It goes to show one’s mood is crucial. People who worry a lot tend to fall ill.
Ye Ningwan came over to deliver him medicine. Xie Mingyu didn’t see who it was and, hearing footsteps, angrily said, "I won’t drink it, take it away."
"If you don’t drink, you’ll die of illness." Ye Ningwan threatened him.
Xie Mingyu turned his head upon seeing her but still remained sullen: "Then let me die, living is pointless anyway."
"If you knew this would happen, why do what you did before? Back then, you didn’t want her, rejected her many times. Now you’re just acting out for yourself." Ye Ningwan mocked.
Xie Mingyu closed his eyes and said, "Acting out is my own business, doesn’t need your concern."
"Brat." Ye Ningwan cursed him out of anger.
But then she turned around and saw Shangxue approaching, with a look of surprise.
Shangxue shook her head at her.
Ye Ningwan understood and handed her the medicine, signaling for her to let Xie Mingyu take it.
"Since you won’t take the medicine, I’ll leave." After handing the bowl to Shangxue, Ye Ningwan said to Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu, with closed eyes, said: "Go ahead, all of you, leave! I’m fine being alone, no, I have Yanyan, we’re fine just the two of us. I don’t need you to stay here. Once I die, I want to be buried here. There’s a flower garden that Shangxue planted. When I die, I want a message sent to her, let her know my feelings for her, and see if she believes it then."
"You’re so heartless, even in death, you want to make me sad." Shangxue sat down, sighed, and slowly began speaking.
