Chapter 157 I Have Someone Else in My Heart
As Yu Qinghuan spoke, she removed the hand that was pinching her waist and jumped down from the table.
Xie Zhiwen opened his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He said it himself, but it was not what Ah Huan said, and he did not dislike anything.
But when he wanted to explain, he was afraid of upsetting Yu Qinghuan. "Ah Huan, you know I'm not good with words, but that's definitely not what I meant."
Yu Qinghuan ignored him and said to herself, "You haven't paid much attention to the outside world these days, have you?"
Xie Zhiwen looked puzzled.
Yu Qinghuan: "In the past few days, the news about Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has spread all over the capital. Now even the storytellers in the teahouse are talking about it. If I don't leave now, it will only ruin the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and become a laughing stock in the capital."
Xie Zhiwen was stunned, but quickly realized that it must be something about Jiuchong Mountain, or some ignorant person in the mansion was gossiping outside!
"Let them talk, I don't care!"
"But I care."
Having said that, Yu Qinghuan stood up decisively and said cruelly, "I will move out tomorrow. If you let anyone in the mansion stop me, don't even see me anymore."
Xie Zhiwen, however, grabbed Yu Qinghuan's wrist with one hand, veins popping out on the back of his hand from the force he exerted, and the corners of his eyes reddened slightly. "Does it really have to be like this?"
Yu Qinghuan pursed her red lips and did not respond to Zhiwen's words.
She didn't understand. She had no dowry, and the betrothal gifts had already been returned to the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion, so Xie Zhiwen didn't lose anything.
Now that Xie Zhiwen knows about his relationship with Xie Zhili, he could just marry another beautiful bride with a good reputation. Why does he have to stick with her?
Seeing Yu Qinghuan silent, Xie Zhiwen almost collapsed and questioned her, "We can clearly pretend that nothing happened. As time goes by, others will forget about it, and we can continue to live a peaceful life. But why are you unwilling to do so?"
Yu Qinghuan lowered her eyes to glance at his slightly trembling hand clutching her wrist, then asked, "My Lord, do you really want to know the reason?"
Xie Zhiwen was in a state of confusion, "Of course!"
He didn't understand. Now that he had sent his mother away, he would live in a separate house from Xie Zhili in the future. They would not see each other, and as time went by, the relationship would fade.
Besides, everyone quarrels. When problems arise, just resolve them. Why leave?
Yu Qinghuan said indifferently, "I have someone else in my heart."
Xie Zhiwen's face was frozen, and the hand that was holding Yu Qinghuan's wrist suddenly loosened, and this sentence kept playing in his mind over and over again.
It was like falling into a lake and being drowned by the icy water. All the blood in his body froze at this moment, and his heart was strangled by an invisible hand. The pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe and his face turned pale.
Seeing him in such pain, Yu Qinghuan silently withdrew her hand, placed the pen on the shelf, and lowered her eyelashes slightly.
She originally wanted to be tactful and leave in a friendly manner, and didn't want to say anything hurtful.
But now, this is all I can say, otherwise Xie Zhiwen will not be willing to let go.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan retract her hand, Xie Zhiwen subconsciously reached out to grab it, but his hand only brushed half of the cold sleeve corner.
The candlelight on the desk was flickering in the wind, illuminating the faces of the two people clearly.
Xie Zhiwen had thought about the fact that Ah Huan had changed his heart. After all, he had been away for a year and everyone thought he was dead.
It is understandable that Ah Huan made other plans.
But since Ah Huan didn't say anything, he didn't think about it. He was even secretly happy that Ah Huan was loyal to him.
But now, hearing Yu Qinghuan admit that she had someone else in her heart, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. After a long while, he opened his lips and uttered a dry voice from his throat, "Is it... Xie Zhili?"
Yu Qinghuan said nothing, only smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry for you, for the sake of our past friendship, let's part ways amicably."
The study was silent and a long time passed, so long that she thought Xie Zhiwen would never speak again.
Xie Zhiwen turned his back and stopped looking at Yu Qinghuan. "...You can go now."
Yu Qinghuan immediately left. As he left the study, he bowed to Xie Zhiwen and said, "Thank you, Lord, for rescuing me from the Yu Mansion. I wish you success in everything and happiness every year."
Xie Zhiwen's face was pale and his eyes were red. This was the person he had married with great joy, but now he had to let her go.
Listening to the footsteps fading away, he felt empty inside.
He suddenly remembered the day he proposed marriage. He held Yu Qinghuan in his arms and promised each other that no matter what happened... there would be no separation in life, only separation in death.
Xie Zhiwen turned abruptly and stumbled out of the study. The burning pain in his throat made him scream: "Ah Huan——"
But all he got in response was the empty courtyard and the unstoppable sound of the wind.
A line of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes, and she left... She really didn't want this Marquis anymore.
Ah Huan, without you, how can I be successful and happy every year?
...
Knowing that they were finally moving, Sang Ru was completely relieved. "Great! I'll pack my things right away and buy a carriage tomorrow morning!"
Watching Sang Ru running into the yard with brisk steps and an obviously happy look, Yu Qinghuan felt inexplicably melancholy.
You should be happy.
Thinking of this, she curled her lips, walked into the house, and packed up with Sang Ru.
"Miss, these jade bottles and ornaments were sent by the Marquis a while ago. Do you want to take them?"
"No."
"This is the jewelry that the Marquis sent me a few days ago. Do you want to take it away?"
“…No.”
"These are some pieces of fabric that the Marquis just sent today..."
"I don't want any of them. I don't want anything that Xie Zhiwen sent me."
Sang Ru nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In less than half an hour, the two of them had packed their bags and stuffed them together, filling up less than a box.
Only then did Yu Qinghuan realize that half of the things in this room were purchased by Xie Zhiwen, and the other half were sent by Xie Zhiwen.
At this time, Sang Ru also obviously discovered this. Although Wang was not good enough, the Marquis treated the girl very well.
She suddenly felt guilty because she had said such harsh words to the Marquis when she was in Jiuchong Mountain, "Miss..."
