Chapter 77 The True White Moonlight Returns
Han Xi sensed that his mood was a bit off today. He had been very enthusiastic the past two days, so why had he cooled down so quickly?
She thought for a moment and deliberately said, "Bo Siye will be going tomorrow too, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
These words were meant to provoke him, knowing that Shen Jiheng couldn't stand her being with Bo Siyue and would definitely follow her.
However, she miscalculated this time. Shen Jiheng calmly replied, "Since someone is accompanying me, I don't need to go. I have important things to do. You should go back to your room and rest."
What do you mean by "there's no need to go"? His excuse is too obvious.
Han Xi, seething with anger, said bluntly, "I asked you to go so that you could apologize to Liang Dong. You bear some responsibility for him being beaten, and you've been interfering throughout the proceedings. Don't you have something to say?"
"Are you kidding me? There's no way you'll make me apologize to him. If he still has a problem with me, he can sue me."
Shen Jiheng's cold attitude chilled Han Xi's heart. She thought he had changed, but how could he suddenly revert to his old ways?
“Shen Jiheng, do you even realize that you made a mistake? He's been bedridden for over ten days because of the injuries inflicted by your men.”
"That was Gu Hanxi's doing, it has nothing to do with me. In short, I'm not going!"
Indeed, how could Han Xi expect him to change for the better?
It's only been two days, does that mean he's no longer Shen Jiheng?
Han Xi sighed, not wanting to waste any more words, and nodded.
"Alright, then do as you please."
After saying that, she didn't want to stay there and turned to leave. Shen Jiheng's behavior disappointed her once again.
Hearing the door slam, Shen Jiheng rubbed his forehead. He was in a state of confusion, having not yet dealt with his own affairs, so how could he concern himself with other people's?
Back in her room, Han Xi felt suffocated. She no longer wanted to endure this person's cold violence and had to find a way to leave.
Han Xi didn't sleep well that night; she was worried about seeing someone off at the airport in the morning, so she left early.
When Han Xi arrived at the airport, she found that Bo Siye was already there, waiting for her in the waiting room with Liang Dong.
Am I too late?
Liang Dong pointed to the time on the wall and laughed, "We've arrived too early. We still have two hours before boarding. We could easily go across the street for a coffee. It's on me."
Bo Siye agreed: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so this suggestion is exactly what I wanted to do."
Han Xi, who was there to play a supporting role, naturally had no objections.
When she arrived at the coffee shop, she ordered hot milk, since she was pregnant and needed to be careful about her diet.
Bo Siye asked curiously, "I remember you have a habit of drinking coffee in the morning. This place is very famous at the airport, and the taste is quite good. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Han Xi smiled slightly and said, "My stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so warm milk would be better."
"Is it serious? If it is, you should go to the hospital for a check-up." Bo Siye's words were full of concern.
Seeing this, Liang Dong joked, "Han Xi, I've never seen Si Ye pay so much attention to anyone before. I've known him for over ten years, and he still doesn't know my taste."
Bo Siye glanced at him, and Liang Dong immediately covered his mouth.
Han Xi smiled calmly, and after Liang Dong mentioned it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Bo Siye remembers her birthday, knows her preferences, and can even guess her thoughts, but Shen Jiheng knows nothing about her.
Bo Siye changed the subject: "Several years have passed, are you still waiting for her?"
Liang Dong's eyes betrayed his disappointment. "Let fate decide. I just hope to see her one more time."
Han Xi had always been curious as to why Liang Dong's girlfriend and Gu Hanxi looked so alike. It was hard to tell them apart from each other in photos; they could easily be mistaken for twins.
But she didn't want to pry into other people's private affairs, especially since he was about to leave.
Bo Siye then had bread prepared, all selected according to Han Xi's taste.
"I heard you're not handling cases at the law firm right now. If you have time, could you help me with some legal matters as well?"
"No problem, I'll give you a big discount since we're acquaintances."
Bo Siye raised his coffee cup, a gentle smile on his face.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."
When Liang Dong returned to China this time, he specifically asked Han Xi to come as well, to create an opportunity for them to spend time together.
Han Xi liked the feeling of being with him; it was relaxed and comfortable, without any pressure.
After a short get-together, it was time to board. The three chatted and laughed as they returned to the airport. However, Liang Dong suddenly froze just as he was about to check in.
Han Xi, seeing him motionless, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liang Dong stared intently ahead, his eyeballs almost popping out.
Following Liang Dong's gaze, Han Xi looked over curiously and instantly froze on the spot.
Just ahead at the exit, Shen Jiheng was smiling broadly as he embraced a woman. Han Xi had never seen such a smile on his face before.
Only after Shen Jiheng released the woman did Han Xi realize that the person was Gu Hanxi.
No, Gu Hanxi is already in prison, and this woman's smile is even sweeter. Could it be...?
Han Xi looked at Liang Dong in disbelief, only to hear him say in despair, "She is my girlfriend Bai Xue, the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family. Back then, Shen Jiheng gave me money to force me to go abroad, all to get her."
Upon hearing this, Han Xi's pupils dilated, and her heart seemed to stop beating. It turned out that the most important person in Shen Jiheng's heart was Bai Xue.
He refused to come to the airport with him because he had to pick up this woman.
All these years she's been by Shen Jiheng's side, but in the end she's just doing all the work for someone else.
Bo Siye noticed that she was exaggerating her emotions.
"Han Xi, I didn't tell you this because I thought it would be too cruel to you in the past, but Shen Jiheng once told me that the person he loved most in his life was Bai Xue."
Han Xi asked angrily, "Since you knew all this, why didn't you tell me back then? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gotten so deeply involved."
This is so unfair to her, it's a waste of several years of her life.
Bo Siyue said apologetically, "Because you were so confident back then, I also thought that your kindness to him would move him, but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, no matter what efforts she made, even now that she was pregnant with his child, she still couldn't move him.
What could hurt her more than these words? Han Xi turned away, not even wanting to look at the two people.
Liang Dong said dejectedly, "I can't beat him. I don't deserve to stay by Bai Xue's side."
Bo Siye patted him on the shoulder: "You two are from different worlds. Don't make things difficult for yourself. The plane is starting to board. You should go back to the path you were supposed to take."
Liang Dong nodded with red eyes, then looked at Han Xi and said in a low voice, "Han Xi, a man like Shen Jiheng is not worth your time. There are better people around you, don't miss them."
Han Xi didn't respond to the topic, but forced a smile and waved goodbye, suppressing her sadness.
"Have a safe journey, and let's get together again sometime in the future."
Liang Dong took a deep breath, nodded, and patted Bo Siyue on the shoulder: "I hope you can find happiness."
Han Xi's thoughts were in disarray, and she didn't even notice that Liang Dong had disappeared from her sight. All she could see was Shen Jiheng and his true white moonlight, Bai Xue.
