Chapter 679: Chapter 679: He shed blood tears, and inadvertently lost Su Hongxing_1

“Alright, call me if you need anything.” Ye Qilan lightly patted Su Hongxing on the head before getting into his car.

Little Pudding jumped into Su Hongxing’s arms, showering her face with kisses, before eventually being carried away by Ye Qilan.

After sending off Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ji had only said a single sentence to her. He told her that the Xiao family doesn’t like Ye Qilan. And with the recent passing of Xiao’s father, she didn’t want to make Xiao Ji’s grief even worse.

In the following days, Su Hongxing stayed at the Xiao family’s house to keep Xiao’s mother company.

While Xiao Ji took care of all his father’s posthumous affairs.

Tomorrow was the burial of Xiao’s father, and Su Hongxing couldn’t sleep. Draped in a knitted sweater, she walked outside, only to see Xiao Ji sitting under a grapevine, smoking.

The dim light barely illuminated Xiao Ji’s facial features. His silhouette looked lonely.

This image of Xiao Ji was markedly different from the successful man in a suit he portrayed during the daytime.

She remembered years ago, when Xiao Ji was upset, he would sit under the grapevine, lost in thought. Back then, Xiao Ji hadn’t yet picked up smoking.

She sat down next to Xiao Ji, looking up at the leaves of the grapevine and whispered, “The deceased are gone, you should mourn…

Before her words fully tumbled out, Xiao Ji’s head was already resting on her shoulder. “Xingxing, wouldn’t it be nice if we never grew up? I miss the old days. On weekends we used to study under this grapevine. During the harvest season, we would pick grapes to eat while reviewing our lessons…”

Those beautiful memories seemed like they happened only yesterday, yet they sat beside each other now, with their hearts as distant as can be.

“We all have to grow up. You’ve achieved so much, your father would be proud. Xiao Ji, don’t be too sad. And don’t look back. Think about it, you’re now successful, the world is at your feet. Meet someone you truly love and live a good life. Don’t make it hard for yourself anymore —”

“There will never be another Su Hongxing,” Xiao Ji said in a hoarse voice.

There will never be a second Su Hongxing in this world, and yet, years ago, he had let go of her, his heart bleeding for his loss.

“Xiao Ji, don’t be like this…”

Before Su Hongxing could finish her sentence, Xiao Ji pulled her waist close to him, his head nestling into her neck. She tried to push him away, but then she felt a cold liquid falling onto her neck.

Surprised, she softly murmured, “Xiao Ji…”

Xiao Ji, usually so strong, was now crying on her shoulder.

“Xingxing…” Xiao Ji held Su Hongxing even tighter. She would never know that if he could, he would trade everything he had just to have her back.

But he knew, ever since he had chosen to leave her six years ago, regardless of his reasons, he no longer had the right to have her. Could anything be more tragic?

In the end, Su Hongxing couldn’t bear to push Xiao Ji away. The two embraced in the dim light of the night, looking intimate and warm.

Su Hongxing didn’t notice someone secretly taking pictures of her and Xiao Ji embracing. These photos were quickly sent to Ye Qilan.

Age remained silent upon seeing Ye Qilan’s cold countenance.

They didn’t know who took these photographs, but the fact that someone was able to sneak into the old Xiao family mansion and capture such thought-provoking images, to send them to Ye Qilan, suggested the person harbored ill-intent.

Of course, it was also possible that Xiao Ji himself took these photos to provoke Ye Qilan.

Regardless of who it was, it was undoubtedly a cruel act, it was akin to rubbing salt into Ye Qilan’s wounds.
