Chapter 427: 413, It’s Over When It’s Over (1)_1
“No, it can’t be.”
Khan took a step back, murmuring to himself.
“I don’t believe, this isn’t true.”
Xiya stuffed her phone back into her pocket, ignoring his devastated expression, she said indifferently, “Khan, things have come to this, we can’t go back to anything other than being friends.”
“No, it isn’t like this.”
Khan rushed to her, grabbing her hands, there was urgency in his eyes, “Xiya, listen to me. Yes, Daisy was my ex-girlfriend, but I broke up with her. You are the only one I’ve loved all along. Please give me a chance. Don’t let our relationship go so easily.”
“Enough, Khan.” Xiya rebuked, breaking away from his grip, “Don’t make me despise you. It’s over.”
He never truly understood the love she wanted. It’s better to break clean early than endure mutual suffering.
Looking at her green eyes, Khan could no longer see himself in her gaze. Her words had stabbed his heart, leaving a bloody hole.
The pain was almost numbing.
His eyes lowered to her belly.
Even if she claimed the baby inside was only four months old, even if she called another man in front of him, he still believed the child was his.
Xiya seemed to know what he was thinking, her hand clenched tightly in her pocket.
Hold on a little longer, Xiya.
If this relationship must end, it must end completely.
She tried to convince herself, determination flashed in her eyes.
“Khan, I’m getting married to him soon. From now on, the three of us will live a happy life. If we are still friends, I hope you won’t disturb my life again.” Her voice softened a little.
A loud buzz resonated in Khan’s head.
The word “marriage” echoed in his ears, sending a cold chill through him.
She’s getting married?
Was she not lying to him? Had she really fallen in love with someone else?
He lowered his head to meet her gaze. Her expression was open and honest, not showing any hint of joking.
After a while, he asked hoarsely, “Is this child really not ours?”
“Yes,” she confirmed without hesitation.
Khan felt an unbearable pain, his veins popping.
“Are you really getting married?”
“Yes,” she nodded once again.
“Does this man treat you well?”
Xiya forced a smile, “Very well, I love him very much.”
The smile on her face broke Khan’s heart.
He never knew that words could inflict such deep wounds.
The atmosphere was tense and silent.
“Can I hold you one last time?”
His voice was low and careful.
Xiya hesitated, but decided to reject his request in the end.
Before she could speak, Khan tightly hugged her out of the blue.
His strong arms held her tight, leaving Xiya stiff.
Her wide green eyes were filled with a familiar scent of a man.
Once upon a time, this embrace was her safe harbor for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, she could no longer stay.
A bitter smile crept up on her lips, which Jian Qing noticed.
“Xiya, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not being there for you when you needed me most.”
His hoarse voice resonated in her ears as his head sunk into her neck, inhaling her faint scent deeply.
Before the words could sink in, he let go of her.
“And… I wish you happiness.”
He used up every ounce of his energy to utter these words.
No one saw the tear that slipped from the corner of his eye as he turned around.
Watching his figure disappear outside the door, Xiya bit her lip, a bitter iron taste filling her mouth.
Everything was over.
But why did her heart hurt more than before?
Jian Qing closed the door and saw that she was a little pale.
He walked over quickly, helping her sit down.
“If you can’t let go, why did you say those words just now?”
They both loved each other, but why were they torturing each other?
Xiya shook her head, muttering, “He never truly understood what I wanted. Dragging on like this won’t do us any good.”
“Aren’t you sad?” Jian Qing poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
The hot water, separated by the glass, warmed her cold hands. Xiya forced a smile, “I’m sad, but no matter how hard it is, it will pass.”
Now, her little daughter is another blessing of her life.
Jian Qing messes up her short hair, his eyes filled with pity, “Silly girl, your smile looks so forced.”
Xiya rolled her eyes at her, “I just broke up, could you give me some comfort?”
“Alright,” Jian Qing said, “I’ll provide food and shelter for a while.”
“At least you have some conscience.” Xiya’s smile became more genuine.
Yeah, what’s the big deal about a breakup.
Desperation and death were not her style.
She had friends, and now a little girl as well.
Everything was still full of sunshine, wasn’t it?
With this thought, Xiya picked up the glass and drank all the water.
The warm water filled her mouth, diluting the faint iron taste.
Seeing her mood improve slightly, Jian Qing changed the topic, “Xiya, do you want to explain what that call was about?”
At those words, Xiya stopped in her tracks.
Oh, she almost forgot about that.
She forced a smile, “It was just an emergency.”
“So how did he manage to go along with your act so well?” Jian Qing leaned against the couch with a lazy tone.
If Bai Jue had known that Xiya’s ex-boyfriend was Khan, he wouldn’t have gone along with it.
Because no matter what, Khan was his friend too.
This could easily turn into a major problem if not handled carefully.
Yes, the man that Xiya called her husband over the phone was none other than Bai Jue from across the ocean.
Xiya smiled broadly and pulled at Jian Qing’s sleeve, “Bai Jue was once relentlessly pursued by a woman. I happened to encounter this and pretended to be his girlfriend to help him get rid of her. He owed me a favor, so he agreed to help me if I ever found myself in a similar situation.”
So that was it, Jian Qing looked at her, a teasing smile on his face.
Bai Jue must have known Khan was pursuing Xiya, he must have known that the man she was talking about earlier was Khan. It was surprising that Bai Jue still deliberately changed his voice.
That cunning fox had quite a sharp mind.
If he had used his real voice, Khan would have recognized him as soon as he opened his mouth. He must say, Bai Jue’s reaction was quick.
