Chapter 422: Chapter 0422: Declaration of War or Warning
After uttering these words, Su Guyan’s heart was filled with an unprecedented tension, causing her hands to slowly clasp together, ceaselessly rubbing her slender, fair, scallion-white jade hands!
While Su Guyan’s heart was suffused with tension, it was also brimming with anticipation.
Did she want to hear Ye Xunhuan say yes?
The answer was positive, she wanted to hear Ye Xunhuan say so.
Although she had become a thing of the past with Ye Xunhuan, and there was basically no possibility between them anymore, she still deeply cared about every word, every letter Ye Xunhuan said.
Therefore, she began to feel nervous, but as tension and anticipation filled her, her heart was also overwhelmed with an unprecedented fear.
She was afraid, afraid that Ye Xunhuan would say no, afraid that Ye Xunhuan would present some other reason!
Looking at Su Guyan’s intelligent yet charmingly delicate face, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with complex emotions.
He had thought that with his many years of experience, his composure had reached a point where it was hardly influenced by external factors, to the extent that he could remain unruffled with Mount Tai collapsing before him.
But it was only at the moment of his reunion with Su Guyan that he realized he had overestimated himself.
In front of her, he, Ye Xunhuan, simply couldn’t maintain his composure with Mount Tai collapsing before him.
Even inside, he still cared so much.
Regrettably, he knew in his heart that he and she belonged only to the past, to memories!
They were in love, but it could only be part of the past, they were fated, yet were doomed not to stay together, clearly caring deeply for each other, yet insisting on pretending indifference, clearly loving so much, neither daring to voice it out.
The goddess of his past had already become another’s wife.
He too, had already taken a beautiful~lovely~wife!
Life is like a Ferris wheel, seemingly within reach, just a slight stretch of the hand would allow one to touch the other, but when you truly want to reach out, you find you can’t touch at all.
Or perhaps you don’t dare to stretch out your hand, fearing that you won’t be able to touch and therefore can only choose to escape!
Perhaps escape is not about fearing something, but rather waiting for something.
But can you really wait for something?
Whether it’s love or friendship, when you remain silent, and I mute, as time passes, even the courage to start a conversation fades, and thus you gradually drift apart!
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and said, "Don’t come out alone in the future, it’s not safe. Remember to bring a bodyguard next time!"
He, after all, did not answer Su Guyan’s question.
Or perhaps he dared not answer!
What would the answer change?
She was married, and he had taken a wife!
Could it be he was expected to linger uncertainly, or to engage in an extramarital affair with Su Guyan?
If it were any other woman, he wouldn’t care, you want to mess around, I want to play, whatever, but this woman was not just anyone, she was Su Guyan!
The goddess of his heart, the woman he loved the most, even now, left indelible marks in his heart!
He couldn’t do that!
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Su Guyan’s delicate body stiffened slightly, and the expecting gaze in her eyes became completely clouded over with darkness in that moment!
Was he resenting what she had done back then?
Was he resenting her for marrying Mu Tiange?
He came to rescue me not because he cared about me, but just because we are friends?
Or would he do the same even for a stranger?
In an instant, Su Guyan’s heart was filled with countless doubts. She wanted to ask, but she didn’t dare, afraid that she couldn’t bear those so-called answers.
Rather than giving herself answers she didn’t wish to hear, why not hold onto a beautiful illusion?
Women are like that, especially when it comes to love!
They know there’s no possibility, but still, a voice rises from the depth of their heart, telling them, just one more step, one more step and you can reach him...
In this way, women become ensnared step by step in the love lies they weave, desperately fantasizing about hope, seeking the light, only to find the world around them remains enveloped in darkness.
But even so, they stubbornly press on without looking back.
It’s foolish, naive, yet powerful enough to stir the souls of countless men! 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Ye Xunhuan noticed the subtle changes on Su Guyan’s face, but chose not to dwell on the topic: "Check your belongings when you get back. Someone might have tampered with them, allowing the other party to find you!"
"Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll take you home!"
"No need, I can go back by myself!"
Ye Xunhuan thought for a moment: "Okay then, I’ll take my leave first!"
Afterward, under Su Guyan’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan’s figure slowly disappeared from her sight.
And the very moment Ye Xunhuan’s car had just left, Su Guyan immediately ran after him, wanting to chase, but realizing she couldn’t catch up...
"Xunhuan..." Su Guyan weakly crouched by the roadside, crying helplessly: "Every day, I can’t stop thinking about you!"
Cars and pedestrians passed by, making her feel as if the real world was drifting further and further away from her.
It wasn’t until a while later that someone slowly appeared beside Su Guyan and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this voice, Su Guyan instinctively looked up towards the newcomer, her tear-filled eyes suddenly catching sight of a delicate face!
Upon seeing who it was, Su Guyan was startled and quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "Miss Long, what... what are you doing here?"
"I’ve been following you all along." Long Zuputi said openly without any hint of concealment.
When Ye Xunhuan felt a sense of murderous intent in the restaurant, she felt it too, but neither of them spoke of it.
When Ye Xunhuan declined to take her home, it started to make Long Zuputi suspect something.
She began to suspect something between Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan, or perhaps it was since the moment Su Guyan’s expression dimmed upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, as well as herself.
But now that she had slowly integrated into this society, she had gradually come to understand the so-called ways of the world and did not pursue the matter relentlessly.
After Ye Xunhuan drove away, she seemingly hailed a car and left, but she turned around just ahead and came back.
Everything was as she had suspected; Ye Xunhuan indeed came back to rescue this woman!
"You... you..."
"Miss Su, you must really love him, don’t you?" Long Zuputi asked softly.
"Miss Long, don’t misunderstand, he and I..."
"Miss Su, you don’t need to explain anything to me. I am not his wife, I am just his friend, well, for now a friend, but I believe someday I will definitely become his woman. If he doesn’t push me, I’ll push him!" Long Zuputi spoke with boldness.
Upon hearing these words, Su Guyan was slightly taken aback. What did Long Zuputi mean?
Was this a declaration of war or a warning to herself?
