In that instant, Fu Xiao seemed to smell a faint fragrance emanating from her arm; she seemed to be somewhat special.
However, he is already with Xingchu, so he will not have any involvement with other women.
"Don't say those things again, lest Xingchu hears them and misunderstands." Xingchu returned just as Fu Xiao finished speaking.
She sat down next to Fu Xiao with a playful smile, "What is it that you're afraid I'll misunderstand?"
She wasn't worried about some reckless woman trying to seduce Fu Xiao.
Fu Xiao has liked her for so many years. If he were capable of changing his mind, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now?
"Nothing, where did you go? Why are you so late?"
Xingchu's face suddenly darkened. "I went back to Aunt Lan's place and chatted with her for a while, which is why it's a little late."
She smiled faintly, but her eyes were filled with resentment. She didn't even know that Aunt Lan had handed over all her tasks to Min Yue until she went back.
Moreover, Min Yue had already changed her identity and gone to Country A to carry out a mission, and she was the last to know this.
This is enough to prove that Aunt Lan no longer cares about her and is probably preparing to abandon her, which she absolutely cannot accept.
Min Yue has never been able to compare to her in any way since she was a child, so how could she possibly do something that she herself couldn't do?
"Did you not enjoy your chat with Aunt Lan?" Fu Xiao took her hand and gently brushed a few stray hairs from her ear.
He saw the gloom in her eyes. It seemed that someone had offended her again. Why did she have to fight for those cold things?
Wasn't his love deep enough, passionate enough, and worth her staying for?
When Xing Chu raised his head again, the gloom disappeared, replaced by a slightly pleading smile.
"Brother Xiao, I want to go away for a few days and then come back. I'll just take this opportunity to relax."
Fu Xiao's smile turned bitter; she had still chosen those illusory things.
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. I'll go upstairs and pack my luggage now."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Xingchu didn't linger any longer and turned to head towards the stairs.
"Xingchu." Just as she reached the middle of the stairs, Fu Xiao's hesitant voice suddenly rang out, "If I don't want you to go, will you still go?"
Xingchu stopped and turned to look at him. "Brother Xiao, didn't we just agree on this? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I want to know where I stand in your heart. I want to hear the truth."
"..." She bit her lip, unsure how to answer. What was wrong with him today?
He's never been this strange before. The truth he wants isn't what he wants to hear. Is it really necessary to be so serious?
"Xingchu, tell me the truth."
He didn't want to deceive himself anymore. After so long, even though they lived on the same floor, the two of them still weren't truly together.
Everyone could see through her heart, but she still thought she had disguised herself perfectly.
"I like you, Brother Xiao, otherwise why would I be with you?"
"So, do you still want to go out for a walk to clear your head?"
"Yes, you wouldn't want to see me unhappy, I'll be back soon." After saying this, Xingchu quickly went upstairs.
Is Ji Yan really that good? Why can't you let him go?
He knew where Xing Chu would go—Country A—because Ji Yan was there too. She was afraid that Min Yue would end up with Ji Yan.
"Boss, I don't think Miss Xingchu is really suitable for you. After all, a forced relationship won't be happy."
"I know what I'm doing. Let's not bring this up again."
Back in his room, Fu Xiao went to the balcony and gazed at the river in the distance. If he listened carefully, he could hear the babbling of the water.
Unfortunately, Fu Xiao, who couldn't calm down, couldn't appreciate the beauty of this tranquility.
On the other side, a quiet villa.
Xu Nuo took off her disheveled sundress and put Fu Xiao's suit jacket in the laundry basket.
After taking a shower, she casually tossed the jacket into the washing machine and hung it on the balcony after it was washed.
The next morning, she folded her coat and put it in a bag, preparing to have it delivered to Mingxiao Hall by express courier.
Fu Xiao didn't sleep all night. He sat on the balcony watching Xing Chu's departing figure. Her choice had never changed, and it would never change for him.
The last cigarette butt fell from his hand, and his heart sank further. Perhaps it really was time to let go.
A series of knocks sounded on the door.
"Come in." Fu Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse.
The person who came in was Fu Xu, and he was carrying an exquisite bag in his hand, like the kind a girl would use when shopping.
"It was sent by the girl from last night. She specifically asked for it to be given to you."
"Her?" A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. "Could it be a thank-you gift for saving her? She's quite polite."
Before long, he stopped laughing altogether. He took back what he had just said; she was no good.
A wrinkled suit jacket was laid flat on the bed, with two buttons missing, its value reduced by at least ten times.
"If you can't wash it, take it to the dry cleaners. What are you doing? And you even have the nerve to send it back?"
"Perhaps she felt that washing her own clothes showed more sincerity?"
"I can't say I appreciate her sincerity. If it happens again, give her your coat and you'll see what her sincerity is like."
"Boss, do we still want this outfit?"
"Just throw it away and order another one that's the same."
Fu Xu took his coat and went downstairs first, while Fu Xiao washed up and changed his clothes before going downstairs for breakfast.
At the dinner table, he told Fu Xu that he wanted to move out.
"Boss, why are we moving out?"
Fu Xiao paused with his chopsticks. "There's no reason why, I just want to go somewhere else."
"Where would you like to stay?"
"You can decide what to do."
"Okay, the appointment with Shen Xingmeng and the others is at 8 p.m. at the private teahouse in Jingxiang."
"Um."
The purpose of this cooperation with the Shenxing Alliance is to resolve the issue of Qingfeng Hall. In addition to the Shenxing Alliance, several other well-known forces will also be involved.
Previously, Qingfeng Hall always kept a low profile, but recently it has suddenly become high-profile. Anyone who offends someone from Qingfeng Hall will not have a good ending.
Because of this, it is expanding rapidly, and its staff has increased from several hundred to nearly a thousand.
If this continues, there will soon be no place for their forces in the entire country of C.
8 PM.
Xu Nuo and Bei Dou arrived at the private teahouse in Jingxiang.
At this time, she did not know that Fu Xiao would also attend the discussion meeting. After all, someone as self-righteous as him would definitely disdain joining forces with other forces.
But she was wrong. Just as she entered the private room, the black Jeep arrived at the parking lot downstairs.
