Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Deng Chengxi looked at Xu Qing earnestly. “You’re lucky to be protected and doted on by a man. It’s not easy for two people to fall in love. You have to cherish it.” When Deng Chengxi said this, her eyes were filled with pain. She had only loved one person in her life and wanted to obtain his love. However, that man had given all his love and protection to another woman. Even though that woman had left him, he was still waiting! Just like how she was waiting for him.
Deng Chengxi’s heart ached, but she didn’t want to let go. She always felt that there was a possibility that things would be different. She could only wait silently. Perhaps one day, he would suddenly turn around and discover her!
Lei Wangshu knew about Deng Chengxi’s past. She had once complained that that man didn’t know how to cherish her, and Deng Chengxi’s stupidity distressed her. However, this was how things were. Just because you liked him didn’t mean that he had to like you. Deng Chengxi had never complained. She only felt that she wasn’t good enough for him!
In the end, Deng Chengxi only accompanied Xu Qing for a while before leaving. She controlled more than half of the family’s factions now and was extremely busy every day. It was difficult for her to take out some time to come and see Xu Qing.
However, Lei Wangshu was quite idle. The beauty salon was still under renovation, so she didn’t have much to do at the moment.
Xu Qing could see the sadness in Deng Chengxi’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know who the man Sister Chengxi loves is?”
Lei Wangshu sighed slightly. “Chengxi and I were like-minded friends in the past, so we naturally told each other everything. However, later on, we made different choices, so we stopped contacting each other. If not for you, we might not have had any interactions now. In the end, it was all because of me…” Lei Wangshu really regretted cutting ties with her good friend for a scumbag!
Xu Qing didn’t expect these two people to be friends in the past, but she didn’t interrupt and waited for Lei Wangshu to continue.
“Chengxi was once a passionate girl. When she was 18 years old, she met the Regent of the New Heavenly Kingdom. She fell in love with him at first sight and fell in love with him, so much so that she couldn’t control herself. She forsook her dignity and did a lot for him. However, in his opinion, all of this was mutual. He paid while she contributed. Chengxi refused to accept his compensation, so he left. He said that he had someone he liked…” Lei Wangshu sighed. Relationships were uncertain. In the eyes of that Regent, Deng Chengxi was just an insignificant person. He only cared about one person.
Xu Qing felt that the Regent of New Heavenly Kingdom sounded familiar, so she was carried away by her own thoughts…
Lei Wangshu continued, “Chengxi thought that he said it out of anger, but she found out that when he heard some news about that woman from an assassin organization, he rushed into the assassin organization alone! This was a trap targeted at him. Because there was no news of that woman from that assassin organization, Chengxi saw with her own eyes that he went completely crazy and killed everyone. He was also seriously injured because of this. The only thing he regretted wasn’t protecting his lover. Chengxi watched helplessly as the Regent of a country shed blood and tears and his hair turned white overnight!”
Lei Wangshu thought that since Deng Chengxi loved him so much, she must hate that woman to death, right? She hated that woman for not cherishing him and abandoning this man. But later on, Deng Chengxi said that she didn’t hate that woman. She only hated herself for not being outstanding enough to make him fall in love with her!
Hearing this, Xu Qing fell silent again. What kind of despair could make a man instantly shed blood and tears and his hair turn white overnight?!
However, New Heavenly Kingdom… the Regent! Xu Qing remembered who that person was! Wasn’t the Regent of the New Heavenly Kingdom Yi Chulin? Then the woman he loved deeply was Ying Zhiyao!
Xu Qing couldn’t help but sigh. These two people loved each other very much. However, Ying Zhiyao was afraid that Yi Chulin would choose to die for love when he saw her die, so she endured the anguish and left, giving him the impression that she was still alive. Yi Chulin had been searching for Ying Zhiyao his entire life and had paid the price! If Ying Zhiyao knew, perhaps she might regret it.
Xu Qing couldn’t judge others for their decisions. She only wanted to find an opportunity to hand Ying Zhiyao’s letter to Yi Chulin so that he wouldn’t continue to be so stubborn. Ying Zhiyao hoped that he would live his own life.
After Lei Wangshu left, Xu Qing couldn’t help but wonder what she would do if she was in Ying Zhiyao’s shoes. What would happen to Qiao Yanhui? However, Xu Qing realized that she didn’t even dare to think about it. She couldn’t bear to see him sad! She hoped that they could accompany each other safely the rest of their lives.
