Bai Shiying and Ye Yan had arranged to meet today, and Xie Wei could no longer sit still, so he got up and left the Immortal Pavilion.
Before leaving, I glanced at the meeting place, which was the same coffee shop where Xie Wei had last talked with Bai Gan.
The streets of Shanghai are somewhat winding, and with this being a minor peak period, while not exactly congested, the number of vehicles is still a concern.
Xie Wei was still able to drive the Koenigsegg CCR quickly through traffic, because he had accumulated so many speeding tickets that he had gone a bit too far.
After parking the car, I arrived at my destination and just saw Bai Shiying enter through the door.
Xie Wei channeled his spiritual energy and blew into the hall like a gust of wind, startling the waiters and servants standing at the door.
She saw the attendant leading Bai Shiying to the reserved private room.
Upon seeing Xie Weilai, Bai Shiying's eyes sparkled with excitement, but then dimmed as if she had thought of something.
A purple off-the-shoulder top revealed her slender waist and fair skin. The necklace Xie Wei gave her rested between her collarbones, adorning her swan-like neck. She wore beige casual pants and white sneakers.
Unfortunately, Xie Wei didn't have time to notice the change in Bai Shiying's eyes, nor did he care about her outfit today; no matter how she dressed up, she looked beautiful.
"Come with me," Xie Wei said quickly, grabbing Bai Shiying's wrist and pulling her out of the coffee shop.
The shop's waiters and receptionists clearly dared not stop them. The servants and greeters exchanged glances, each sensing something amiss in the other's eyes.
What are you going to do?!
"It's not convenient here, let's talk in my car," Xie Wei said, pulling Bai Shiying along.
Bai Shiying knew this wasn't the place to talk, so she obediently followed Xie Wei into the car.
After getting into the car, Xie Wei looked at Bai Shiying and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"What do you want to say?" Bai Shiying crossed her arms, expressionless, and quietly looked at Xie Wei.
"You can't go see him," Xie Wei finally managed to say after holding it in for so long.
"Why?"
"..." Xie Wei fell silent.
"Heh," Bai Shiying scoffed lightly, "I can't explain why?"
"Then let me tell you why?"
"It's just your possessiveness acting up."
Xie Wei couldn't refute it. Bai Shiying was right. Xie Wei was indeed possessive in this matter. Not only in this matter, but just the fact that Bai Shiying's destiny contained the words "female lead" made Xie Wei somewhat lose control.
"But what gives you the right to be possessive of me?"
"I don't remember our relationship reaching this point."
"Or did you treat me as your personal property from the very beginning?"
"You and my father have kept me firmly in your hands, forcing me to live only according to your wishes!"
"No, Shiying, I..." Upon hearing Bai Shiying's words, Xie Wei understood what Bai Shiying had misunderstood and wanted to explain.
"Xie Wei!" Bai Shiying's tone was tinged with anger.
Hearing Bai Shiying's address, Xie Wei was stunned and stared at her blankly.
"Regardless of what we had in the past, I only know that I am not the person you remember now. I am Bai Shiying now."
Upon hearing Bai Shiying's words, Xie Wei curled his fingers, desperately gripping the flesh in his palms as if his nails were digging into his flesh, and bit his tongue to keep himself awake.
But it felt as if an invisible stone was pressing down on my heart, my mind went blank, and my lips trembled uncontrollably.
You are denying our past!
It seems to be both an affirmative and an interrogative sentence.
"Xie Wei, you're such a hypocrite."
"Yes," Bai Shiying said calmly, uttering the cruelest words to Xie Wei, "From the very beginning, I had my own agenda in trying to get closer to him."
Now that I've achieved my goal, I no longer need you.
After saying that, he ripped off the necklace Xie Wei had given him, threw it in front of the car window, and then tried to leave.
These words also negate their present situation.
Xie Wei watched Bai Shiying walk away, his heart aching uncontrollably. This time, he was truly going to lose her forever.
Xie Wei placed his hands on the steering wheel, exhaled, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"hypocritical"
Xie Wei felt that this word really suited him perfectly.
Bai Shiying returned to the shop amidst the surprised gazes of the receptionist and attendants. They couldn't ask any more questions, and the attendant led Bai Shiying to the agreed-upon room.
At the door, Bai Shiying received a message from Xie Wei.
"Shiying, believe it or not, I have not made any cooperation with your father."
Bai Shiying immediately blocked and deleted Xie Wei's WeChat account and opened the door.
Ye Yan, dressed casually, had been waiting in the room for a long time.
When "Miss Bai" saw Bai Shiying, a look of surprise, admiration, and appreciation flashed in her eyes.
This look made Bai Shiying feel very comfortable and familiar.
"I'm sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed," Bai Shiying said gently, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"It's alright, I just arrived not long ago," Ye Yan said, pulling out a chair for Bai Shiying. "Besides, who would mind a beauty like Miss Bai taking a little longer?"
Bai Shiying smiled. She had been able to see the doorway the whole time, but Ye Yan was nowhere to be seen. He must have been waiting for a long time. He probably said that just to make her feel less apologetic.
After the meal, Bai Shiying felt a bit upset and wanted to end the meal quickly. Ye Yan was very considerate of Bai Shiying's feelings and didn't try to find topics to talk about.
When Bai Shiying went to pay the bill, she was told that Ye Yan had already paid. Bai Shiying looked at Ye Yan with some confusion.
Ye Yan simply smiled and said, "There's no reason for a girl to pay the bill."
