Chapter 509 - Leaving

"Before this, I never believed in love at first sight. I always thought love at first sight was the kind of love like you love leather bags. And that was not true love. But since I met Liang Jiahao, I started to believe in it."

Xia Jingfei took a deep breath. "He is a very outstanding man, he lives only for himself. He doesn't care what people think about him. He just wants to be happy."

"And you are the same type of person as him."

Xia Jingfei looked at Qin Yu and said with a smile, "You live a very relaxed life, doing whatever you want. You never care what other people think of you, as long as you are happy, nothing else matters. And last night, I saw the way he looked at you. You laughed without caring about your image, you even put your foot on the chair like an improper lady, but he doesn't care about it. He likes the way you behave. But me, I can never behave like that."

"The both of you are really destined to fall in love with each other as soon as you meet. The both of you are like the positive and negative poles of magnets, and as long as you and Jiahao meet, the both of you will be very attracted to each other. Qin Yu, thank you for telling me that being myself is the best way to live."

Qin Yu was very anxious. She opened and closed her mouth several times as if she wanted to say something. Can she talk now?

Xia Jingfei chuckled seeing that. "Alright, you can talk now."

Qin Yu took a deep breath and then said anxiously, "Jingfei, you are really scaring me. What are you planning? Are you deciding to leave?"

"En!" Xia Jingfei nodded. "I have decided to leave, I need to pursue my dreams, I need to find myself, find the kind of life I want. The next time we meet, you will definitely meet the new Xia Jingfei. I will make sure you see me in a new light."

"Where will you go? Will your mother let you go? I'm sure she's already looking for you all over the world now. Are you trying to make her die of worry?" Qin Yu tried to persuade Xia Jingfei, "I have said it before, I have no feelings for Liang Jiahao. I don't like him at all! After all, he is Liang Zixuan's brother. I even called Zixuan "auntie!" He is older than me, what can I do with him?"

"Qin Yu!" Xia Jingfei was helpless. "If it's because what I said to you previously had caused you to have a bad impression on Liang Jiahao, I want to apologize. I have been friends with you for years, I know very well whether you like him or not! If you really don't like him, why did you leave last night?"

Qin Yu was about to explain when Xia Jingfei shook her head and smiled. "You don't need to justify yourself. Don't push him away. If you really hate him and want to draw a line with him, you can explain to him over the phone. Qin Yu, just admit that you also have a good impression of him. Even if you're not ready to like him yet, it's just a matter of time."

Qin Yu pursed her lips and looked at Xia Jingfei with a melancholy expression. "No matter what I say, you will always find something to refute me."

Xia Jingfei patted Qin Yu on the shoulder. "I came to find you today because I want you to know my intentions. Don't give up on a good man because of me."

Then she took the handkerchief out of her bag. "He gave me this because I was crying and begging him to agree to my plan. He only gave it to me because he felt sorry for me."

Xia Jingfei put the handkerchief on the tea table. "Qin Yu, I didn't decide to leave because of you and Liang Jiahao. I just felt that for twenty-five years of my life, I lived for my mother. Now, I want to live for myself."

After putting down the handkerchief, Xia Jingfei suddenly stood up and looked at Qin Yu. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

How could Qin Yu not understand?

Most of the time, Qin Yu would be laughing at Dong Biming for being overcontrolling. As if she couldn't live without Xia Jingfei.

And it was precisely because of Dong Biming's misguided control over Xia Jingfei that had caused her to become so fragile and had no characters.

Just like a puppet, Xia Jingfei would do whatever Dong Biming told her to do, unlike a human being.

Qin Yu nodded. "I understand."

Xia Jingfei smiled. "Can I say goodbye to Liang Jiahao?"

Qin Yu: "..."

Why did she ask for her opinion?

It wasn't like Liang Jiahao was her man!

Qin Yu nonchalantly pointed to the study. "He has nothing to do with me. Do whatever you want to do."

Xia Jingfei laughed and walked towards the study.

Standing in the doorway, she knocked politely on the door.

Liang Jiahao's cold voice sounded from inside. "Come in."

Xia Jingfei pushed open the door and went inside. She saw Liang Jiahao sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. He looked up at her.

"I ..." Facing Liang Jiahao, Xia Jingfei couldn't help but be nervous. "I came to say goodbye."

Liang Jiahao nodded and set the book aside. He pointed to the couch across from him.

Xia Jingfei walked over and slowly sat down. She looked greedily at Liang Jiahao's face as if she wanted to carve his appearance into her heart.

After a while, Xia Jingfei finally opened her mouth and said, "What you said is right. Sympathy is not love, and that love is not the love I want."

Liang Jiahao said nothing. He just listened to Xia Jingfei's words politely and seriously.

Xia Jingfei licked her lips and chuckled softly. "I'm sorry for the embarrassing thing I did last night. I'm actually not that kind of woman, and I myself don't want to be like that, so I plan to leave. Leave my home, leave my mother's control. I want to go out and travel by myself, living my own life."

Liang Jiahao nodded. "Congratulations, you finally understood."

Xia Jingfei smiled shyly. "I still have to thank you and Qin Yu. I am really grateful to both of you. Because of you and Qin Yu, I have finally learned that by doing what I want and achieving my own dreams will I be worthy of being loved by others. Only by finding myself will I know how to protect what I want."

Xia Jingfei raised her hand and gently stroked the hair on her forehead. Suddenly, she stood up, took two steps towards Liang Jiahao, and asked with a stiff and bitter smile, "I... Can I hug you?"

As a parting gift for a woman, most men will agree unconditionally.

But Liang Jiahao just looked at Xia Jingfei and shook his head. "Sorry, my embrace is only for the woman I love.. Please understand."
