C71 I'll Wait for You

"Lan Xi, Lan Xi …"

Xiao Yunyi knocked on the door. This time, Lan Xi not only locked the door, but also closed the balcony. There was really no way for Xiao Yunyi to get in.

"Lan Xi, can you open the door and let me explain? I have a reason."

"I've been hesitating these past few days to tell you this, but I haven't thought of it properly so I hid it from you."

"The moment I received the news that Mu Yaran had come, I was afraid that she would come back immediately after telling you about this matter. I'm very sorry, but I'm late."

"Lan Xi, I know that I have betrayed your trust, but please believe me, I will not marry her. "I …"

With a "shua" sound, the door opened. Xiao Yunyi didn't even have time to be happy before he was stunned by Lan Xi's words.

"You won't marry her. You're only engaged to her temporarily, aren't you?"

"I …"

Before Xiao Yunyi could finish his words, Lan Xi dragged him into the room and fiercely closed the door. "Didn't you say you wanted to explain? You say, I'm listening. "

Looking at Lan Xi's expressionless face, Xiao Yunyi felt his heart ache. He knew that Lan Xi was only hiding her weakness from him.

However, Xiao Yunyi would rather have Lan Xi make a big fuss out of hysteria than silently endure it.

Xiao Yunyi wanted to pull Lan Xi over to sit on the sofa and talk slowly, but she missed him. "No need, let's put it this way. Your fiancée wants us to keep our distance."

These words were extremely sarcastic. Xiao Yunyi's eyes narrowed and he was extremely displeased, but when he thought about how he was in the wrong in the first place, he began to feel guilty.

Lan Xi had her arms crossed against the wall as she looked at Xiao Yunyi, waiting for his explanation.

Although Mu Yaran had made it clear enough, there was still a weak flame burning in Lan Xi's new theory. She hoped that everything was fake.

Xiao Yunyi remained silent for a long time. He had initially thought that all the excuses he had come up with would come in handy now. However, when he saw Lan Xi's trusting gaze, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get past it.

How could he deceive her again?

Xiao Yunyi feebly opened his mouth to say something, but then swallowed it countless times. This was the first time he felt so hesitant and uneasy.

Seeing Xiao Yunyi's conflicted expression, Lan Xi extinguished the last of the flames in her heart. She didn't want to see him again, so she pulled Xiao Yunyi to push him out.

Xiao Yunyi quickly pulled Lan Xi into his embrace as the latter continued to struggle. The two of them retreated until Lan Xi pressed her back against the wall.

With one hand on Lan Xi's waist and the other on the wall, Xiao Yunyi fiercely kissed her lips.

Lan Xi's struggle stopped for an instant. As Xiao Yunyi grabbed onto this moment, his tongue nimbly stuck into her mouth. Lan Xi viciously gritted her teeth as a rusty taste filled the air between their lips. Even though Lan Xi had bitten the tip of his tongue, Xiao Yunyi still did not loosen his grip. It was only when he felt the salty liquid dripping down that he let go of the person in his embrace, as if he had been shocked awake.

Xiao Yun loosened his grip on Lan Xi and she fell to the ground, her face filled with tears as she leaned against the wall.

"Don't touch me."

Just as Xiao Yunyi was about to embrace Lan Xi again, she was stopped.

With a face full of disappointment, Lan Xi said tiredly, "What else do you want me to do for you? How else do you want to fool me? What else do you have to say? Didn't you already say what Mu Yaran wanted to say? "

Xiao Yunyi was unable to answer all three questions in a row. He knew that if she were to find out that he was betrothed to Mu Yaran, it would bring her a great deal of harm.

"Lan Xi!" Sitting on the ground together with Lan Xi, Xiao Yun raised his arm up to let her look at him. "I know that you won't believe anything I say now, but I still have to say that getting engaged to Mu Yaran is a stopgap." I would never marry her. That's my bottom line. I know that any promise that I made now would seem fake to you. Then, I will use the keepsake to prove my determination. "

As Xiao Yunyi spoke, he took out a box from his pocket with a jade bracelet inside.

Xiao Yunyi took out the bangle and tossed it aside. He then knelt on one knee and picked up Lan Xi's left hand to help her put it on.

Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi in shock as her tears fell.

Looking at the precious white jade bracelet in her hand, Lan Xi's voice trembled. "You …" "What does that mean?"

He placed a kiss on Lan Xi's forehead and looked at her seriously as he said, "This is a family heirloom of the Xiao family. It is an extremely precious bracelet that was taken out from a piece of white jade made from mutton fat. "My grandmother gave it to my mother and my mother gave it to me. Now that I've given it to you, you're my wife."

Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi and could no longer hold back her tears as she threw herself into his embrace.

Xiao Yunyi patted Lan Xi's back to ease her pain, his heart aching.

"Cry, call, this is what I owe you, but if you wear a bracelet, it will be mine. You will wait for me to marry you. I swear, I will not marry anyone but you. I will finish off Mu Yaran as soon as possible and give you an open and honorable identity. "

Lan Xi cried as she fought on. Slowly, she grew tired. Her voice was barely audible as she replied, "I'll wait for you."

Lan Xi was once again defeated by the anticipation in her heart. She knew that she didn't want to give up, so she didn't let go. Lan Xi told herself in her heart that she was alone anyway, so losing wouldn't be a big deal.

Lying in Xiao Yunyi's embrace and feeling his heartbeat, Lan Xi silently thought to herself: Xiao Yunyi, I'm betting my life against you. You better not disappoint me again.

The two of them embraced each other, silently calming their emotions. After an unknown period of time, Xiao Yunyi spoke, "Don't go on the day of the engagement ceremony."

Lan Xi's heart ached. She bitterly said, "They even sent an invitation to my door. How could I not go?"

"You don't have to." Xiao Yunyi said, "As... As the other party, I don't want you to go. "

"You can't stop me." Lan Xi muttered to herself, "Unless you imprison me."

Feeling her arms tighten around herself, Lan Xi heard a low voice above her head. "I won't imprison you. I don't want you to go because I'm afraid you'll get hurt. "

Lan Xi smiled bitterly. My heart was already full of holes. What can I do about my injuries?

As he thought about it, what came out of his mouth was — Okay, I promise you.

Lan Xi silently pushed Xiao Yunyi away without saying anything. As she watched his figure disappear in front of her, she felt as if a part of her heart had been dug out.

She knew that she would definitely be able to see Xiao Yunyi's back in the future. Furthermore, they couldn't get close to Mu Yaran's existence any longer.

There were too many things that gave Lan Xi a headache. She was screaming "AHH" to vent on herself.
