Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 921: With You Always (66)

"The ability to drain you dry."

Shen Congmo chuckled, whispering softly beside her ear, "Come now, drain me, and I’ll give you all my essence."

"Get lost..."

***

Jun Xiangyi and Feng Qinglian’s wedding date was set, to be held in a week.

The timing felt rushed, and although Jun Xiangyi didn’t want it so soon, she thought it might be good not to be in the Heavenly World to disturb her parents.

During this week, relatives who don’t usually keep in touch came and went to celebrate with her.

How much of it was genuine was obvious to anyone with clear eyes.

Getting married again.

Marrying yet another unfamiliar, unknown man.

This was her fate.

She accepted it.

When Nan Yuesheng learned that Jun Xiangyi was getting married, that taut string in her heart finally loosened completely.

The fact that Jun Xiangyi had returned to the Heavenly World and was no longer hovering around already made her quite happy, and now she was even more delighted.

Upon getting home, the first thing she did was relay the news she heard from Long Yubei’s home to Xu Mohan.

"Do you know any recent news about Jun Xiangyi?"

"I don’t know." He retorted, "How would I know?"

"She’s getting married." Nan Yuesheng said with a smile, "It’s spread across the Five Realms; I guess the two of us are the last to know. The groom is Feng Qinglian from the Demon World, and it’s said that he promised to have her as his only wife for life."

Xu Mohan’s eyes were fixed on the words in the book, and for a moment, he didn’t speak.

Nan Yuesheng noticed he seemed not to hear her words; she sat beside him and added, "Why aren’t you reacting?"

"What reaction do you want from me? Hmm?" He could feel that no matter what kind of reaction he gave, it would probably become her main point of contention.

"Aren’t you a bit surprised? Jun Xiangyi is getting married?"

"Sheng’er, what do you really want to say?"

"I want to know, what was your most genuine feeling upon hearing this news?"

He looked at her levelly, "Then let me ask you, what is your most genuine purpose in wanting me to answer that question?"

"I have no purpose, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Xu Mohan picked up the book and stood up, "I don’t want to answer that question."

He went to the study, sat in the chair, and spread the book open in his hands, his eyes falling on a passage: [Those things you wish to grasp but are powerless against, will ultimately fade with time, disappearing quietly into every stream, leaving no trace.]

Since that day when Nan Yuesheng told him not to pay attention to Jun Xiangyi anymore, it wasn’t even up to him to actively ignore her; she herself had already silently drawn a boundary from him.

It seemed like she was deliberately avoiding, distancing herself without needing words.

He himself wasn’t sure if it was since she saved him, but as time passed, the more he got to know her, he felt increasingly guilty toward her.

Ashamed for having viewed her the way he did.

Feeling utterly embarrassed for having married her, neglected her, and didn’t even show the most basic respect.

How he treated her before, and how she treated him later, saving his life twice, and what did he do in return?

Just allowing her to stay a short while at Wangchuan Mountain, then never paying attention again.

This stark contrast led Xu Mohan to make a decision; at her wedding, regardless of anything, he must attend and present a grand gift.

Seeing his ex-wife remarry, this feeling was truly indescribable.

Xu Mohan’s fingers brushed over the book pages, somewhat dazed.
