Chapter 485 Is this too much interference?

Han Xi accompanied Zhuo Qingqian to a nearby supermarket and they picked out a lot of things. Seeing that her mood was relatively stable, Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, her relationship with Gu Beichen has become very strained, far beyond the conflicts of the past, so there's probably not much chance of them getting back together.

Han Xi couldn't make a decision about their future either, and only hoped that she would think it through before discussing it further.

"Xi Xi, I've almost finished choosing here, what about you?"

Han Xi checked it over and nodded: "That's enough for me too."

Zhuo Qingqian nodded: "Then let's go pay the bill."

Is she really alright? Han Xi couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

When the two arrived at the cashier, they saw that there were still about ten people in front of them. Zhuo Qingqian suddenly said, "Xi Xi, I forgot to get the red wine. My dad really likes to drink it. It's at that counter over there. You stay here and wait in line. I'll go pick out two bottles."

Han Xi cautiously replied, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Zhuo Qingqian smiled and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. There are a lot of people here, and there are many more people waiting in line. Just wait here for me for a little while, and I'll be right back."

As Zhuo Qingqian spoke, she backed away, pointing to the wine shelf in front of her. Han Xi frowned and stared intently at her, wanting to follow her several times but stopping each time, wondering if she was being too nervous.

Be careful.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to run away." Zhuo Qingqian turned around and smiled.

Han Xi genuinely hoped that she could be happy, and that she could still live a wonderful life even if she wasn't with Gu Beichen.

Han Xi waited for two minutes and when she didn't return, disregarding that they were in a public place, she shouted in her direction, "Qianqian, are you still there? Have you made your choice yet?"

Feeling strange looks from those around him, Han Xi could only nod and smile apologetically.

She was just trying to make sure Zhuo Qingqian was still in front.

"I've already chosen a bottle, don't rush me." Zhuo Qingqian's voice came back, finally putting Han Xi's anxious heart at ease.

Perhaps she was just too nervous. Zhuo Qingqian is a serious and calm person and wouldn't do anything impulsive.

Han Xi relaxed slightly, her gaze fixed on her direction, but when she reached the cashier, Zhuo Qingqian still hadn't returned.

Han Xi took out the items one by one, then turned around and called out, "Qianqian, are you ready? It's our turn now."

After waiting a few seconds without a response, Han Xi hurriedly took out her phone, and fortunately the other party answered quickly.

"Qianqian, I've already started paying. If we don't find anything, we'll go to the boutique later. Come here first."

"Xi Xi, I'm sorry!"

Upon hearing these two words, Han Xi paused, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm already on my way to the airport. I'm sorry I lied to you. I just didn't want to put you in a difficult position." Zhuo Qingqian's voice was soft but resolute, making Han Xi realize that she was truly determined to leave.

Han Xi immediately gestured to the staff and said anxiously, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. Please put it aside for me and I'll come back to pick it up later."

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out, but unfortunately, she could no longer see Zhuo Qingqian's figure.

"Qianqian, you know I won't stop you if you really decide to do something, but you're avoiding me like this, what am I supposed to do?"

"I'm exhausted lately, I don't want to listen to advice or make any more explanations. Don't bother me, let me handle everything myself."

Han Xi said in a panic, "At least let me take you there, or tell me where you're going."

"Don't worry, I'll contact you every day. Don't worry about my safety. Goodbye, my best friend." Zhuo Qingqian hung up the phone after saying that, leaving Han Xi anxiously pacing back and forth.

She immediately checked the flight information for that day and found that Zhuo Qingqian had booked a flight to the United States and was scheduled to board in half an hour.

But given the current situation, even if she rushed over, she couldn't stop it, and she didn't know what to do.

Han Xi immediately called Shen Jiheng. After he answered, she quickly said, "Jiheng, Qianqian is going abroad soon, and I don't know what to do."

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. Didn't you take her home? How did she end up going abroad?" Shen Jiheng's gentle tone soothed her anxious heart.

Han Xi told him what had happened, and Shen Jiheng calmly replied, "Han Xi, have you ever thought about this? Are we interfering too much? They are all adults and have their own ideas."

Hearing this, Han Xi was slightly taken aback. She murmured, "I'm worried about her safety."

“She’s a grown woman, she can definitely take good care of herself. The more we get involved, the more it will affect their own judgment. It’s better to let them decide.”

Shen Jiheng's patient guidance calmed Han Xi down. All along, she had been helping Zhuo Qingqian come up with ideas and help her cover up these things, but the situation only got worse.

"Perhaps you are right, otherwise she would not have used this method to avoid me."

"So just don't worry about anything, just make sure she's safe. Whatever decisions she makes is her business."

Han Xi understood what he meant; he really wanted to let go and stop interfering.

She took a deep breath and asked, "How's my brother doing?"

“He is blaming himself. Once he comes to his senses, he will have his own plans. I will not try to persuade him.”

Shen Jiheng's calm tone soothed Han Xi's emotions, and she gradually calmed down and stopped dwelling on the matter.

After all, even if Zhuo Qingqian were stopped, the outcome wouldn't change.

Thinking about how her best friend had escaped in this way, Han Xi reflected on herself, wondering why she had failed to gain her trust.

"I understand what you mean. Let time decide."

"Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"No need, I just bought a lot of things, I'll take them to my uncle and the others."

Even though Zhuo Qingqian wasn't there, Han Xi still wanted to send the things to her family to express her feelings.

Shen Jiheng said gently, "Okay, relax. Contact me if you need anything. I'm always here."

The sense of security that Shen Jiheng gave her made her feel at ease, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

After hanging up the phone, Han Xi returned to the supermarket. When she got to the checkout counter, she found that the items she had just selected were no longer there.

She thought a staff member had taken it and was about to go up and ask when a figure suddenly blocked her way.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Hearing the sound, Han Xi looked up and saw Bo Siye smiling as he waved two large bags in front of her, which contained the items she had just picked out.

Han Xi suddenly took a step back, glaring angrily at the culprit who was the source of this trouble.

If it weren't for his meddling, Zhuo Qingqian and Gu Beichen wouldn't have ended up like this.

What are you doing here?

Bo Siye smiled and said, "I originally came to see Miss Zhuo, but when I found you were at the supermarket, I followed you. You rushed out just now, so I paid for you."

Han Xi gritted her teeth and angrily rebuked, "You still have the nerve to come looking for her? You still won't give up, huh? Bo Siye, if you have the guts, come at us. What kind of person are you to target innocent people?"

Bo Siye said helplessly, "There's no smoke without fire. If she hadn't done it, how could she be manipulated? You're just forgiving her mistakes."
