Chapter 329 Why Can’t I
The relationship is different.
Facing Du Yunxiao's questioning gaze, Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to say this, and only lowered her voice and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't say I don't want our friendship before, it's just that things are different now, and you are indeed different from them-"
Du Yunxiao interrupted: "What's the difference?"
Yu Qinghuan was speechless. How could she say such words?
But Du Yunxiao is not Xie Zhiwen, he is not a fool. He has never relied on brute force to reach his current position from an unknown soldier on the battlefield.
In fact, he could see nothing. On that day on the street, Yu Qinghuan and Xie Zhili were very close and were shopping for jewelry together.
Later in the palace, Xiao Jinghe forced her to stay, and she even took the initiative to find Xiao Jinghe.
Now, she lives in Cheng Mansion again, and Mu Huaian often follows Xie Zhili to Cheng Mansion.
When he discovered this, Du Yunxiao felt heartbroken. What had happened over the years to force her to become what she is now?
He wanted to help Huanhuan, but Huanhuan pushed him away time and again, and now he seemed to be getting closer to those people in his words.
He couldn't stand this neglect.
Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and turned cold, "Anyway, don't come to me in the future—Hmm!"
The moment she opened her mouth, Du Yunxiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head to kiss her fiercely.
Yu Qinghuan's pupils suddenly constricted. When he came to his senses, he pushed the heavy figure in front of him away with force and slapped him!
With a "pa!" sound, Du Yunxiao was slapped and his head turned away. His cheek was burning with pain, which showed how hard Yu Qinghuan hit him.
But this pain was far less than the bitterness surging in his heart.
He slowly turned his face back, touched his numb cheek with the tip of his tongue, and looked down at Yu Qinghuan's hand: "Does it hurt?"
Yu Qinghuan's hands were still shaking. That slap hurt not only Du Yunxiao, but also her hand.
She looked at Du Yunxiao's face with a slap mark, and her first reaction was to ask herself if her hand hurt. Her throat tightened with discomfort, "Don't do this."
Du Yunxiao didn't say anything, but just reached out and took her hand. Seeing her palm flushed red, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He opened his thin lips slightly and blew gently.
"If you want to hit me, just tell me and I'll help you. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
She had been spoiled since she was a child, and although she had thick skin, her cheek was hurt by the slap, not to mention her hand.
This slap hit Du Yunxiao's face, but it hurt him in his heart.
Yu Qinghuan suddenly felt like crying, her voice choking, "Can you please not be like this? It makes me sad to see you like this."
Seeing her crying, Du Yunxiao felt really sad.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the red corners of Yu Qinghuan's eyes, wiping away the tears from the corners. His fingertips were rough, but the force was very light. "Huanhuan, I don't want to hurt you, but you can't be partial. I was here first, and you once said that you would marry no one but me... I still remember all this."
Yu Qinghuan felt even worse as the memories came to her mind. "But those are all things of the past. You are not the same Du Yunxiao, and I am not the same Yu Qinghuan."
Du Yunxiao's eyes were bloodshot. "What kind of magic potion did they give you... money, or power?"
Yu Qinghuan bit her lip and said, "Both."
Du Yunxiao was heartbroken again, but this time, he was no longer sad.
He stroked Yu Qinghuan's tense jaw with his thumb, his Adam's apple rolling, and said in a low voice, "Huanhuan, I have these too."
Yu Qinghuan's breathing became disordered and she stared at him blankly.
Under her stunned gaze, Du Yunxiao slowly spoke, "If they can do it, why can't I?"
Huanhuan, I can give you whatever you want, as long as you ask.
Yu Qinghuan was upset. She laughed dryly, thinking Du Yunxiao was joking. She turned her face away and tried to escape. "Stop talking nonsense... If you want to come to dinner, come. I don't care about you anymore."
Du Yunxiao, however, held her back with both hands and said earnestly, "Huanhuan, I love you more than anyone else. It has been like this since we were young, and it has never changed."
The obsession and passion surging in his eyes made Yu Qinghuan's heart tremble.
This was something Yu Qinghuan had never seen in anyone else, and it took a long time to develop, more than ten years.
She staggered back two steps, opened the door of the private room, turned around and rushed out.
The hem of her skirt caught on the threshold and she almost fell, but she didn't dare look back. She just held on to the door frame tightly to steady her body and fled in panic.
Du Yunxiao stayed where he was, watching her running away with a look of loss in his eyes, but hope was rekindled in an instant.
She ran away, but at least she didn't refuse.
...
At this time, Yu Qinghuan ran back to his private room, slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand on his chest, trying to suppress the suffocating feeling brought by his pounding heart.
At this moment, Du Yunxiao's voice was still ringing in her ears - "If they can do it, why can't I?"
This voice was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her heart.
Sang Ru came over, took a closer look, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Girl, why is your face so red?"
Yu Qinghuan immediately collected her thoughts and fanned her face with her hands, "It's a bit hot."
Sang Ru looked suspiciously, "Is the girl hot?"
Her eyes fell on Yu Qinghuan's lips, and the lip balm she had just applied was gone. "Didn't she do something with General Du? That's why she's blushing?"
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. Feeling guilty, she immediately retorted, "How is that possible!"
"You little girl, why do you think about these things all day long? You don't even know how to learn from me. Fill your head with useful things and stop thinking about nonsense all the time!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the table, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a glass of water.
The cool water slid down my throat, suppressing the palpitations and heat.
Sang Ru saw through it but didn't say anything. He thought to himself: If I stay with a girl, I can't expect to learn anything good. It's good enough if I don't learn anything bad.
When she has a lot of money, she will find some handsome young men to make her happy.
Do nothing else.
Yu Qinghuan had no idea what Sang Ru was thinking at the moment. Her mind was full of Du Yunxiao's appearance and what he had said just now.
If the Du family had not left the capital due to the incident, she and Du Yunxiao would have been in love with each other and would have been married for many years now.
But fate is so cruel. Not only can she not go back to the past, even if she could, she doesn't want to go back and suffer again.
Everything is fine now, she is very satisfied, even without Du Yunxiao.
Xie Zhili and Mu Huaian, who were downstairs, almost never took their eyes off the stairs leading to the second floor. Seeing that there was no movement for such a long time, they looked calm on the surface, but were anxious to the point of jumping up and down in their hearts.
Just when they couldn't help but want to go upstairs to find out what was going on, Du Yunxiao appeared and walked down from the second floor.
When he passed by Xie Zhili and Mu Huaian, there was still a look of joy on his face.
Mu Huaian's knuckles turned white as he gripped the chopsticks.
Xie Zhili's face turned black.
