Chapter 433: Breaking Up

People don't care about a roll of rags, but they will regret a flaw in beautiful brocade.

Because of this shortcoming, all the beauty will be destroyed.

Now that the matter has been exposed, Hu Xiner has no intention of deceiving herself. The little monk's words are like a seed. Even if it does not break through the soil today, it will always take root and sprout in everyone's hearts in the future.

Even if she managed to deceive everyone for a short time, she would only live in fear.

Instead of doing this, it is better to cut the Gordian knot.

Once her mind was made firm, the pain in her body seemed to ease. Hu Xiner recalled her past and present lives, trying to think of her words, and couldn't help but shed tears.

She has kept this secret in her heart for too long.

"I came into this world purely by accident..." Her voice was very soft. Because she was not feeling well and her thinking was not very clear, her narration was a bit confusing, but everyone listened attentively.

She was a hot cartoonist in the 21st century, but she fell into a coma on the eve of receiving an award. When she woke up, she had turned into the little girl of the Hu family and was about to be drowned.

When she first came here, she thought that since she had come to another world, she should live a good life and find a way to go home if possible.

She never had the idea of ​​hurting anyone, and coming into this world was not her own wish.

But as time passed, she fell in love with Mu Qing and developed more and more ties with the people in this world.

During the day, she was as bright as ever, but in the middle of the night, when she woke up in her dreams, she would recall her past life and secretly worry that her identity would be exposed and that she would be looked at strangely by others.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They thought that the so-called souls from another world were things like gods, demons, etc., so Hu Xiner didn't dare to say it out loud.

But the other world described by Hu Xiner was completely beyond their imagination, and even made them yearn for it.

"...In short, that's it." Hu Xiner spoke until her mouth was dry and her head was dizzy.

She didn't know what she had said, and even her vision began to blur and she couldn't see clearly what others were looking at.

But this actually made her feel calmer.

So be it, she thought, having gone through so much, she could withstand any storm.

Jiang Yao had always been resentful of her identity, and Lu Yunjue had been tortured by Liu Se for many years.

Just when they finally decided to resolve their grudges, she was given the negative aura of a ghost from another world.

With the soul of a monster and the body of someone who murdered her father, it's impossible to say that they don't have any grudges against her.

Once a crack appears in an intimate relationship, it is difficult to repair it.

Hu Xiner is not an naive little girl. She knows clearly that if someone like her continues to stay in the Lu family, she will most likely only torture each other.

So the best outcome is to leave on your own.

But no matter what happens in the end, she must keep the child.

Even if...even if his family may not be willing to recognize him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

A warm hand wiped her tears, and Mu Qing asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Hu Xin'er's tears fell hastily. She wiped her face, trying to hide her embarrassment. "It's nothing. If you still feel uncomfortable, we can break up. But I hope you won't kill me for the sake of our acquaintance."

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in the Zen room.

Tears blurred Hu Xin'er's vision. She thought about being forced to separate from Mu Qing, and that he might marry someone else after they separated...

She finally couldn't hold it back and sobbed out loud: "I, I will hide in the deep mountains and old forests by myself, and I promise that I will never come out to bother you for the rest of my life, but the child is mine!"

In exchange, she planned to hand over the imperial edict to the Lu family for safekeeping. After all, it should be very useful whether for self-protection or revenge.

Hearing that she had already made a complete plan, Mu Qing felt a pang in his heart, and blurted out questioning words: "Didn't we agree to grow old together? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Hu Xiner felt even more sad after hearing this. They were clearly destined to separate, but this man still wanted to tease her.

No matter how sweet the vows we made in the past, it is so painful to recall them now.

She choked up and said, "Since the feelings between us are no longer pure, what's the point in continuing? It will only breed resentment. It would be better to just break up!"

Mu Qing said gravely, "Are these your true words? Do you really want to—"

He paused, then uttered those words with great difficulty: "Do you really want to break up with me?"

Hu Xin'er cried and thought, No! Of course not!

She also wanted Mu Qing to fulfill his promise, but she couldn't be so selfish, and she didn't want to face the complicated family relationships.

She actually felt some hatred towards Mu Qing in her heart. If he had not saved her, but let her die with the original owner, would she not have to face the current situation?

If it weren't for his gentleness, tempting her to fall in love, would their relationship have been simpler?

As her thoughts surged, tears continued to fall. She struggled between fear and bitterness, unable to see clearly and caring about what others thought.

Facing Mu Qing's questioning, she replied angrily, "That's right, once we leave this temple, we won't see each other again—Hmm!"

Before he could finish his words, Mu Qing had already covered his lips.

"So good at breaking up, so good at never seeing each other again!" Mu Qing repeated this sentence several times, his voice becoming increasingly trembling. "Hu Xin'er, what do you think of me? And where do you place the relationship between us?"

He didn't understand why Hu Xin'er could say such decisive words so easily.

Was all the love and affection she had shown before fake? Had she always belonged to another world and never believed in herself?

So what about their previous promises?

Hu Xin'er didn't know where she got the strength from, but she struggled to break free from his hand and asked with sobs, "Didn't you want to break up with me? Even if we don't break up, our relationship won't get better. Instead, it will create a bigger rift. It's better to break up now when things are at their best."

When Mu Qing heard this, he wished that Hu Xiner would never be able to speak again, so as to avoid hurting his heart.

He held her tightly in his arms, as if afraid that she would leave, and his tone was rarely seen fierce: "Hu Xin'er, listen carefully, I don't care who you are, you must never be separated from me in this life!"

Hu Xin'er was startled and cried even louder: "You, you, you, don't even think about using me as a substitute."
