Chapter 52: Gurgle

“She... is so pitiful...” Watching the tragic girl in the scene, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help feeling heartbroken. But then she quickly realized something.

That girl was Elder Qingxue; the truly pitiful person was Elder Qingxue—!!! Her gaze shifted towards Elder Qingxue standing quietly to the side, silent.

“Elder Qingxue... did you really fall in love with Brother Ye?” Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but ask, “If you don’t believe he’s a good person, won’t you forgive him for everything he did to you?”

“Hehe...” Hearing this, Elder Qingxue laughed coldly: “I told you, when you fall for someone, no matter what excessive things they have done to you in the past, you will forgive them... Haven’t you ever forgiven anyone?”

“Uh... wu wu...” Her words made Yu Ling’er start crying again. “I... I haven’t... I’ve always been hurting Brother Ye Xuan... But it’s always been him forgiving me, no matter how excessive my actions, he has always been forgiving me. I really regret it...”

Seeing Yu Ling’er like this, Elder Qingxue was rendered speechless with exasperation.

I’m telling you I forgave him, and you’re telling me he forgave you, are you trying to show off or what—!!

Ye Xuan: “...”

———

In the scene, after Ye Xuan forcibly made Mo Qingxue quiet down, he sighed and said to her:

“Listen carefully. Since you know how formidable I am, you should understand that if I say I want to marry you, you can’t refuse. Otherwise, I’ll make you understand the consequences of defying me. Do you hear me?!!”

“Yes... yes, I understand... I know—!!!” Mo Qingxue, suppressing her hatred, appeared obedient. But in her heart, she certainly didn’t believe Ye Xuan would truly want to marry her. He must just want to toy with her.

So now, she could only speak according to Ye Xuan’s wishes. At this moment, she felt an immense sense of despair and hatred. Why was fate so unfair to her, to suffer such a destiny—!!!NEew stories at novelhall.com

“It’s good that you understand, hmph, you rest well for now, you’re still too tired.” Saying this, Ye Xuan got up by himself, dressed, and left the room.

Watching Ye Xuan’s cold and merciless demeanor, Mo Qingxue’s eyes filled with tears of grievance.

Everyone is human, why must she be treated this way by others—!!! If there really are immortals and gods in this world, why doesn’t one come to relieve my suffering?!

Once Ye Xuan left the room, he finally let out a long sigh of relief. Then, frowning: “How strange... how could I possibly do such a beastly thing?” He muttered to himself.

“Hey, Young Master Ye, you finally decided to come out—!”

“Young Master Ye, you’re really lucky with women—!!!”

As soon as Ye Xuan came out of his yard, two guards greeted him with congratulations.

Ye Xuan looked at the two and said, “You two, find a matchmaker for me.”

“Young Master Ye, are you going to propose to the Jiang family? You might have forgotten, but you already arranged for Madam Lin, the matchmaker, to propose to the Jiang family today.” One guard said.

“No, the one I want you to arrange this time is not for the Jiang family, but for the Mo family.”

“Otherwise, no matter how well they treated you before, it could all be fake. Besides, he had been scheming against me from the beginning, hadn’t he?”

Hearing this, Yu Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan, thinking to herself. Elder Qingxue’s understanding of love is too superficial. If being willing to die for someone is the only proof of true love, then what about enduring unbearable suffering, injustice, and humiliation for someone?

The suffering Ye Xuan endured for her, she couldn’t even bear to imagine it. So, even if the whole world stands against Ye Xuan, she would firmly believe in him—!!! If needed, she would die with him...

Feeling Yu Ling’er’s deep and affectionate gaze, Ye Xuan was unfazed, calmly accepting her loving look. In fact, Yu Ling’er was truly innocent. He hadn’t really suffered as much as she believed; his pain was part of an act...

Too afraid of pain, he had been using an acting mode, not actually experiencing real emotions and pain when he traveled to the world before Yu Ling’er’s rebirth.

He was just a heartless actor. In contrast, with Elder Qingxue, he truly traveled to the past, following the script to the letter, and whitewashed his own actions...

But he had also given her his true heart. So, comparatively speaking, Mo Qingxue was much luckier. She had already received his true heart; it was just a misunderstanding.

Yes, he had whitewashed himself... Without the whitewashing, there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings. However, although Yu Ling’er hadn’t received his true heart before, her genuine feelings for him now made him start liking this naive girl.

“Young Master Ye, the chicken soup is here.” As Ye Xuan and Mo Qingxue were sitting quietly, a knock came from outside the room.

“Come in,” Ye Xuan said casually.

“Yes.” A woman dressed as a servant entered. Her eyes showed surprise as she looked at Mo Qingxue sitting next to Ye Xuan. She hadn’t been as free as Ye Xuan to wander around and know the beauties of the area.

However, it was the first time she saw a young lady in Ye Xuan’s room. The girl was pretty, but she wondered which family she belonged to.

After placing the chicken soup down, the servant awkwardly realized that she had only brought one bowl, thinking Ye Xuan would be eating alone.

“Young Master Ye, I’ll go get another bowl.” She said to Ye Xuan.

“No need, I’m not hungry yet,” Ye Xuan replied offhandedly.

“Oh...” The maid served a bowl of chicken soup for Mo Qingxue and said, “Please enjoy, miss.”

“That’s enough, you may leave now,” Ye Xuan told the maid.

“Yes.” The maid left, glancing curiously at Mo Qingxue before she did.

Looking at the chicken soup in front of her, Mo Qingxue felt a wave of aversion. She, Mo Qingxue, would rather starve, die outside, or hang herself than eat anything from the Ye family!!! So, she had no intention of eating it.

“You’re not hungry?” Ye Xuan asked her.

“I... am not hungry,” Mo Qingxue shook her head.

Gurgle, gurgle~

Human willpower can be as strong as steel, capable of driving away even the most powerful inner demons. But the stomach is much more pragmatic and vocal about its needs.

“Pfft...” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Mo Qingxue’s ears turned red in an instant.
