Knowing she had been exposed, Song Xiwei's mind raced.
"Then, Demon Lord, could you please pretend you didn't recognize me? I really don't want to disturb your life... Just let me fend for myself..."
She humbly squeezed out a few tears, not for any other reason than fear that the Demon Lord would find out she had been drinking at brothels and take back her money.
So now, all they can do is play the victim.
Although she knew lying was wrong, money was more important.
It's all in her pocket, why would she give it back?
When Yi Hai saw Song Xiwei shed tears, his heart ached and he choked up. Hearing her say that she didn't want to be disturbed and wanted to let her fend for herself, Yi Hai felt so guilty that he wanted to slap himself.
What kind of psychological trauma did I leave her with?
"Will you come back with me?" Yi Hai said, wiping away her tears.
Upon hearing that she was to be taken back to the Demon Realm, Song Xiwei froze.
Go back? Why would we go back?
The outside world is so wonderful, so free and unrestrained, where you can be in charge of your own life and spend money to have fun. How wonderful! Going back to the Demon Realm? She absolutely did not want to.
"I've already prepared for the wedding, and I'm just waiting for you to come back." Yi Hai looked at her expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Song Xiwei's eyelids twitched violently. It's been so long, and he's only just started preparing for the wedding? It's been a year, and he still hasn't married his white moonlight?
Also, you've married your white moonlight, what am I supposed to do back there?
How awkward it is to be the one standing in the spot.
I don't know what this former employer was thinking.
"Can I refuse?" she asked tentatively.
Yi Hai's eyes visibly dimmed, as if he was about to cry. He was extremely sad. "Didn't you say you would always remember me?"
"Uh, yes, I haven't forgotten you. Didn't I recognize you right away?" Song Xiwei said, seemingly confused but impressed.
"Then you don't love me anymore? Why did you reject me? If you don't want to marry me, who do you want to marry?" Yi Hai pressed her with red eyes.
Song Xiwei's head was buzzing, "..."
It took me a while to figure things out.
Marry him?
That's ridiculous. Her past with her employer was anything but honorable; how could they possibly be talking about marriage?
I will always feel inferior to others.
She's used to being free and independent outside, so why would she go back and be controlled by someone else?
"I am not good enough for you, I dare not hope for more..." So she lowered her head and spoke in a very dejected tone.
Upon hearing this, Yi Hai quickly explained, "No, how could you be unworthy of me? Don't think like that..."
"But I'm just a stand-in. Besides, I took so much money from you, and I've almost spent it all..." This subtly reveals her current financial situation. Surely the other party wouldn't ask her for more money?
Song Xiwei was on tenterhooks, wary of being asked for money by Yi Hai.
Yi Hai, however, understood it differently. So, with a burning gaze, he took her hand and said, "You are no longer anyone's substitute. I love you and I want to marry you. Listen carefully, Song Xiwei is not anyone's replacement. Song Xiwei is just herself. As for the money you took from me before, since you are mine, what's mine is yours. After you marry me, what's the difference between us? I will give you the key to the vault, and all the money will be at your disposal."
When Song Xiwei heard about all the money, she knew it was over and she couldn't escape it.
His eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Really? Really?" She was almost incoherent.
This scene struck Yi Hai as clear: she had rejected him because she had been hurt too deeply by him and lacked confidence.
When she heard that she wasn't a stand-in, look how excited she was; her eyes practically lit up.
Such dazzling light! She looked at herself and her eyes seemed to sparkle. She truly loved herself, loved herself so passionately.
Yi Hai was deeply moved, tears streaming down his face. "Really, really, I love you the most, I only love you. Will you come back with me and we get married?"
This time, Song Xiwei did not refuse him.
