Chapter 148: Good to Everyone

Xie Zhili’s naked provocation was beyond Mu Huaian’s ability to defeat him, but could he also defeat Xie Zhiwen?

Xie Zhili said this in front of Xie Zhiwen. Even if Yu Qinghuan was thick-skinned, she was still ashamed and angry. She turned around and pushed Xie Zhili away, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xie Zhili looked at her with a low laugh, "I was just joking with my elder brother."

But looking at Yu Qinghuan's reaction, Xie Zhiwen knew clearly that what his brother said was true.

His knuckles turned white from the force, and he wished he could strangle Xie Zhili to death. Why didn't he listen to others and get rid of this scourge? Now, not only did he covet his title, he also took possession of Ah Huan.

Seeing that Yu Qinghuan was indeed annoyed and had a cold face towards him, Xie Zhili restrained his smile and said, "Forget it, it's late at night, I won't disturb Big Brother's rest."

As he said this, he said to Xie Zhiwen in a frivolous way: "Brother, let her go as soon as possible. It will be good for everyone. Goodbye."

Xie Zhili clenched his fists under his sleeves and watched his brother leave his sight. He hated himself for being so cowardly and incompetent that he was bullied to this extent.

But compared to these emotions, what he feared more was that Ah Huan would really follow his brother.

So at this moment, he looked at Yu Qinghuan and saw that she was about to leave. He immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, hugging her tightly. His heart ached and his eyes were painful. "Ah Huan, I won't pursue what happened before. Let's start over, okay?"

Apart from Ah Huan, he didn't want to care about anything else, whether it was his mother, his brother, or the Marquis' Mansion.

Yu Qinghuan felt reluctant, but she also knew that there was no going back, and there was no way to start over with Xie Zhiwen.

She raised her hands and tried to break free, but Xie Zhiwen held her tightly, locking her in his arms, as if he was afraid that if she left, he would ignore her in the future.

"Xie Zhiwen, there are so many good girls in the capital, many of whom want to marry you. There's no need to be so persistent with me."

The night wind swept across the backyard, carrying dead leaves. Xie Zhiwen's Adam's apple rolled as he uttered a hoarse tremor: "But they are not you."

"Ah Huan, when you played a song in Jingyuan, I wanted to marry you then... I only want you."

After hearing Xie Zhiwen's words, Yu Qinghuan felt a sour taste in her throat. "Then do you still remember what song I played?"

Xie Zhiwen was stunned. He knew nothing about music, so how could he know what the song was? He just knew it sounded nice. The girl playing the piano was extremely beautiful, and he fell in love with her at first sight.

Seeing that he remained silent, Yu Qinghuan knew that all the times she played the lute later on were in vain.

While Xie Zhiwen was stunned, she tried to break free again, but Xie Zhiwen still refused to let go and hugged her even tighter.

She looked at Sang Ru for help, but Sang Ru could only spread her hands to show that she was unable to help.

This is not Jiuchong Mountain. The entire Marquis' Mansion is someone else's. If I continue to be like I was in Jiuchong Mountain, I'm afraid I will be dragged out of the Marquis' Mansion tonight, and I won't even be able to see the girl.

Helpless, Yu Qinghuan could only show weakness: "Xie Zhiwen, you hurt me."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiwen shuddered and let go of his hand.

Without waiting for Xie Zhiwen to speak, Yu Qinghuan spoke first, "Xie Zhiwen, you don't understand me when I play the piano, and I don't understand you when you talk to me about cricket fighting... Why bother?"

Xie Zhiwen felt wronged, "But Xie Zhili doesn't understand either!"

Am I the only one who doesn't understand this?

Yu Qinghuan was silent.

Sang Ru, who was not far away, shook her head. The Marquis was really stupid. He was already talking about playing the piano, but he hadn't thought about anyone who could understand it.

Seeing that Ah Huan was silent, Xie Zhiwen started talking about the past again, trying to bring back Ah Huan's good memories of him. "Ah Huan, I don't understand playing the piano, but I know you love to eat. We used to go to Xifeng Tower every day, and I remember you were very happy."

As he spoke, he also made a promise, "I promise you, from now on I will still take you to Xifeng Tower every day and order your favorite food!"

Yu Qinghuan: "But I only like to eat the dishes made by Chef Gao. Besides, you don't even know what kind of dishes I like."

In the past, she was obsessed with gaining a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion and trying to please Xie Zhiwen. Everything revolved around Xie Zhiwen, and she had no time to consider her own preferences.

Now that I'm moving away, it doesn't hurt to say it out loud. It makes me feel better.

So let’s just forget about Xifeng Tower now.

Xie Zhiwen felt like the sky had fallen on him. Thinking that Chef Gao had been taken in by Xie Zhili, he felt even more resentful.

"Chef Gao isn't the only one who cooks delicious dishes. I'll have someone look for a better chef!"

He just didn't believe that there was only one Chef Gao in such a big city like Beijing.

Yu Qinghuan was helpless. Looking at the stubborn Xie Zhiwen in front of him, he knew that it was impossible to part ways amicably.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke slowly, "Whether you agree or not, my opinion won't change."

Hearing this, a dark look flashed across Xie Zhiwen's eyes.

Yu Qinghuan was in a trance, and she saw again the young man who was willing to sever the mother-son relationship with Wang and insisted on marrying her when she was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Yu family.

She steeled her heart and said, "That's it. Don't try to persuade me anymore. Let's stop here."

Xie Zhiwen's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yu Qinghuan say:

"Even if you want to start over, I'm staying in the Marquis' Mansion now. Your brother is always pestering me, and Mother is forcing me. Even you are forcing me... I keep thinking about what happened this year. How can I start over?"

As she spoke, her voice choked with sobs and her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

Xie Zhiwen felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw this scene. He hurriedly wrapped his palm around her trembling hand and said, "You feel uncomfortable staying in the Marquis' Mansion. How about we move out together?"

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

She would be crazy to move out with Xie Zhiwen.

Catching the change in Xie Zhiwen's attitude, Yu Qinghuan said calmly, "Calm down, everyone. Although I've moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, you can still come and see me if you want."

She said this, but in her heart she was thinking: I won’t open the door anyway, you can come as many times as you want.

Seeing that Xie Zhiwen still didn't respond, Yu Qinghuan pulled Xie Zhiwen's hand away, took a step forward, and put her face against his violently heaving chest, "Okay?"

Xie Zhiwen placed his hand on her waist, sweat oozing from his palm: "If I agree, after I finish dealing with the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, will you really start over with me?"

"Of course." Yu Qinghuan nodded. After all, when it comes to promises, the final explanation belongs to him.

Xie Zhiwen didn't want to let Yu Qinghuan go, but she finally softened her attitude. He sighed:

"...Let me think about it."
