Chapter 64 -64: Is She Too Cowardly, or Is Reality Too Cruel_1

Mu Yingchen felt as if he had plunged into the Ten-thousand-year Ice Cave in an instant, the sharp ice shards stabbing him like swords, causing him to bleed profusely.

Jesse stood up, looking fondly at the enchanting woman before him, “I should go. After heading to B City, I’ll go straight back to England.”

Su Wanxia’s heart was incredibly conflicted. Jesse was the kindest person to her in England, appearing like a guardian angel in her life, sheltering her under his wings, at her most helpless and difficult moments.

But—when one’s heart has once harbored someone, all others become automatically shielded out, including a prince-like Jesse.

She was destined to fail to reciprocate his sentiments.

“Okay, take care on the road,” she said with a smile, her voice clear and crisp.

Jesse looked at her delicate features and finally couldn’t resist hugging her gently.

Su Wanxia opened her eyes wide in shock, and after a moment, she spoke with a complicated expression, “Jesse, don’t waste your time on me.”

When Jesse heard Su Wanxia’s words, his arms stiffened, and a flash of loss swept through his ice-blue eyes.

Then he let go of her and said indifferently, “Summer, you can reject me, but don’t reject my kindness. I’ve said it before, I will wait.”

“But—”

“Don’t say more.”

As soon as Su Wanxia began to speak, Jesse stopped her from continuing.

“I’m leaving, remember to miss me!” Jesse turned around and waved at Su Wanxia with his back towards her.

Su Wanxia smiled helplessly, truly as stubborn as herself.

Meanwhile, Mu Yingchen across the street didn’t know how to describe his emotions at that moment. The instant Jesse hugged Su Wanxia, he felt his heart shatter into a thousand pieces!

As Su Wanxia watched Jesse’s car disappear into the night, she was about to turn around when a long, ear-piercing honk came from across the street and entered her ears.

She furrowed her brows, somewhat perplexed, and turned around. Who would be so annoying, honking the horn for such a long time?

When she saw the familiar car underneath the shade of the trees across the street, she froze on the spot, a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet and, at the same time, panic began to spread frantically within her heart.

When had he arrived?

There was only one thought in Su Wanxia’s mind: if he had seen what just happened, he would definitely mistakenly think she wasn’t accompanying him to Mu Feng’s wedding because she was with Jesse.

While she was lost in her daze, Mu Yingchen had already gotten out of his car and was striding towards her, composed and elegant with each step.

The coldness in his eyes and the mocking smile at the corner of his mouth made Su Wanxia feel as though she had plummeted into an abyss.

Indeed, he had seen everything.

Such a man as him, witnessing such a scene, would certainly not hesitate to cast her aside!

“Su Wanxia, you are not selfish, you are cruel,” though Mu Yingchen’s voice was soft, soft as the light breeze brushing against her cheek, Su Wanxia could sense the endless chill in his words.

She clenched her fists, lowering her eyes, not daring to meet the piercing mockery in his gaze, “If I say that he and I are just friends, would you believe me?”

Mu Yingchen hooked up the corner of his mouth coldly, friends? He was not a fool, how could he not see whether they were friends or not?

That Jesse looked at her with the same eyes he used to look at her with.

“Su Wanxia, I really want to rip out your heart to see what it’s made of!” He had waited for 6 years, longed for 6 years, endured countless days and nights, but what did he end up with?

Was he too foolish, or was he too deeply in love, to have harbored such hope for so many years, only to find it all in vain in the end?

Su Wanxia looked at Mu Yingchen’s indifferent demeanor, and a complete sense of panic and fear arose within her. She knew this side of him too well; he usually wore such an unconcerned expression when dealing with strangers or those he deemed insignificant.

Her clear eyes slowly reddened, and the fear of losing him made her murmur without thinking, “What must I do for you to believe what I say?” Her eyes, red and teary, hopelessly looked at the man in front of her with a faint expression.

Mu Yingchen’s heart thumped suddenly upon hearing those words, ripples appearing in his calm gaze. He barely moved his lips as his deep magnetic voice poured out, “Marry me!”

Simple three words shattered the hope in Su Wanxia’s eyes, and in its place came joy, struggle, and despair.

Her lips trembled again and again, but she could not utter a single word, letting her eyes fall helplessly, with the lashes quivering like butterfly wings, glistening with barely perceptible tears.

Mu Yingchen saw Su Wanxia with her eyes cast down, the corners of his gorgeous lips raised in self-mockery, and he laughed to himself. Look at him, always seeking his own suffering, pouring salt on his own wounds, knowing full well that she was unwilling, yet he still pathetically asked.

“In the future, I won’t force you to do anything,” Mu Yingchen said emotionlessly as he stared at the woman with her head down before him, speaking in a tone light and indifferent. But only he knew how much pain, helplessness, and sorrow he felt at that moment.

The feeling of wanting to grasp but being unable to do so was driving him nearly mad; she was like a capricious cloud, and he a gentle breeze. The more he chased, the more she ran; the faster he chased, the faster she fled. He feared, feared the day she might run off to a place he could not find, could not see. What then?

Therefore, he needed to calm down for a while.

He glanced at Su Wanxia one more time, who was silent and unresponsive, then slowly turned around, gradually moving further and further away from her.

Su Wanxia looked up, her vision blurred as she watched his tall figure receding into the distance, and finally, tears overflowed beyond containment.

Is this fate? After going round and round, she and he ended up back at the beginning.

He was still the distant and proud man he always was, whereas she could no longer find that innocent and willful self.

She vividly remembered that evening with the setting sun, when a man named Mu Yingchen barged into her world. Although she had taken the initiative to provoke him, she could, at that time, unhesitatingly and domineeringly say to him, “Mu Yingchen—I want you to be my boyfriend!”

Yet now, faced with his three words “marry me,” she could not even muster the courage to nod her head.

Su Wanxia, are you too cowardly, or is reality too cruel?

Looking at the empty street under the streetlights, her legs gave way, and she fell hard to the ground.

“Xiaxia!” A gentle, anxious voice came closer from afar.

Her mother rushed to Su Wanxia’s side and quickly crouched down to help her up from the ground, looking at her daughter’s tear-stained face with heartache.

Her mother helped Su Wanxia to her feet as all the grievances and pains in her burst forth uncontrollably, and she started to cry heartbreakingly.

Her mother stroked her long hair and sighed deeply. She had heard the honking of a horn out of curiosity and opened the door to take a look, only to witness such a scene.

“Xiaxia, perhaps such an outcome is the right one for both of you,” said her mother gently, stroking Su Wanxia’s hair, her expression filled with profound sadness, as if she were reminded of some painful memory, “Cry, let out all the grievances in your heart. Mom is here.”
