Chapter 916: Xie Yi Confessed to Xie Xuning
Silence.
It was utterly silent in the palace.
Mo Shi was stunned. She never expected Xie Yi to confess under these kinds of circumstances.
The most shocked one was the guide to the Forbidden City. He froze entirely on the site without knowing what to say.
The air in space suddenly froze at that moment. Xie Yi’s clasped her hands tightly together, and she could not help but pinch the palm of the other hand.
The pain passed across the palm of her hand.
The sense of pain conveyed to Xie Yi’s brain, and her mind instantly became clear.
She should have known that it would end up like this…
She needed to say something further to convince Xie Xuning that she had carefully considered it. It was not said in the heat of the moment.
“Mr. Xie…”
“Dr. Xie…”
They both called out to each other in a polite tone at the same time.
Such a tacit understanding made Xie Yi laugh out loud, “May I speak first?”
Xie Xuning replied, “Yes.”
Xie Yi looked at the antiques placed in the glass display cabinet. People called them cultural relics because they had gone through many years of history.
During this long time, they quietly watched the beacon changes in the palace.
“Mr. Xie, I knew your wife will always be in your heart. I don’t mind or care about it at all. I want to be on your side, and I have never wanted anything this much in my life. Nothing in the past interests me. Mr. Xie, meeting you made me want to settle down and spend the rest of my life with you…I want to be with you until we turn old and grey and all our teeth fall off…Can you give me a chance? You don’t have to give me the answer right now. Would you seriously consider it?”
Xie Yi was very humble in her posture.
She would be content if she could occupy a tiny space in his heart.
“I am sorry.”
Without hesitation, Xie Xuning gave no time for consideration.
He refused.
He would never accept Xie Yi’s request.
“Dr. Xie, I cannot betray my wife. She is the only one in my world. She is also my only love.”
Xie Xuning voice was cold and calm.
His heart did not melt for even a second…
He did not give in just because Xie Yi had saved the grandmother’s life.
This was Xie Xuning, and he was deeply in love with Ye Linlang.
He was nothing without her.
“She is no longer around. Couldn’t you open your heart and try to accept someone else?”
Xie Xuning shook his head. “No, there is only enough space in my heart for her. She has filled my entire world. Many of you might think that she is no longer by my side, but I know that she is in my heart. She is with me all the time, at any moment, any second in time.”
Jealous.
Jealous.
Jealous.
Deep down, Xie Yi was jealous of Ye Linlang.
What was so good about this woman that made Xie Xuning so obsessed with her?
“Mr. Xie, it doesn’t even matter if you reject me; I like you, and that is my business.”
Xie Yi felt defeated. She thought it was her own business to like him.
She could try not to interfere with his life…
She could silently admire him and love him deep down.
“Dr. Xie, you are an excellent doctor, but you know very well that there is no chance between us.”
