How could you say that? Xia Yu had never expected him to respond in such a way. Even though he may have said it jokingly, her heart still experienced a wave of unspeakable grief. She felt both offended and uncomfortable. Crouching on the spot, she sobbed and hugged both her legs tightly.
Why are you crying? Ye Hao had always liked teasing her, but this time, she might have taken the joke too seriously and cried. Panicky, he immediately tried to coax her, Yuer , Yuer , dont cry. Please dont cry, ah. What I said was just to tease you. Why did you take it so seriously and cry? My good Xia Yu, please dont put me on the spot! You know Ill never woo anyone except you, so please dont cry.
Xia Yu grunted softly and turned away from Ye Hao, refusing to look at him. Only after he had coaxed her for a long time did she finally reply. How could you joke about that? You you already know that she how could you use that to tease me?
Seeing that she was alright now, Ye Hao chuckled. Still angry at me? Wasnt it you who started it? Did you hear yourself when you said those unpleasant words before?
She stared sternly at him and became silent. Then, with a grin on her face, she giggled softly. You only know how to annoy and bully me! Im so silly to let you bully me With that, her voice eventually became softer and her shyness was exposed as she turned her body towards him. The girls coyness was indeed moving.
Ye Hao heart was overcome with warmth and he sighed softly, Xia Yu, I wont bully you anymore, so next time, dont say such silly words!
Xia Yu bittersweet heart couldnt help but feel discontent. You wont bully me? You marrying Ning Xi into the Ye family is equivalent to bullying me! If you really meant what you said, you would have disapproved of the marriage! And if that will affect the Xi familys reputation or not, what does that have to do with you? What does it have to do with the Ye family?
Of course, those were only Xia Yu thoughts. On the surface, however, her face displayed a sweet smile and she softly said, En, to show that she agree with him. Looking directly at Ye Hao, she said, Brother Hao, hearing those words is enough for me. I am a very naive person, so Ill take your words and remember them for a lifetime!
Of course. Forever. Ye Hao smiled and nodded.
Her eyes flickered and her once steady gaze wavered. Her gaze, which carried a trace of distrust and apprehension, revealed her emotions.
Actually, Ning Xi really isnt that bad. Xia Yu understood what he was hinting at and added slyly, Brother Hao, she must have scored a few points in your heart, right?
What nonsense are you spouting? Astonished, Ye Hao exclaimed, How could you think that way? His heart had always belonged to her. All these years, he had only had eyes for her and his heart had yearned for only her. Never had his eyes left her, so how could she say that to him?
Okay, okay. Just take it as if Ive said something wrong! Seeing his cold face, she couldnt help but feel remorse, as he was indeed angry. Xia Yu immediately apologized for being suspicious of him.
However, deep within, a shadow of doubt still remained. They had grown up together and thus she knew him all too well. The day when the marriage date had been set and especially the day before her Ning Xi had married into the Ye family, Ye Hao expression had been unsightly and cold. But today, that cold expression had completely vanished! His eyes were calm and poised, which made her feel uneasy, as if something was very amiss.
Since the marriage had been arranged by the Father Ye, the matter of Ning Xi marrying into the family had already been decided. Xia Yu had already accepted that fact long ago. She was neither afraid nor worried, as she believed that Ye Hao was not a heartless and unfaithful person. The bond that the both of them shared was not something that could be easily broken. The arrival of Ning Xi into the family was not something that could change that fact, even if she were an angel dispatched by heaven!
So what if she had stepped into the Ye family and became a couple with Xia Yu? The war had only just begun. Who could say that she had lost?
But for the time being, it seemed like she was a little too careless!
In the future, do not be cranky! Ye Hao sighed.
It is only because I care for you! Xia Yu pouted. Are are you really sure your heart wont waver. You wont like her?
Of course I wont! Ye Hao answered firmly.
With that, Xia Yu felt delighted. Then, do you have anything you would like to say to me?
Startled, he almost blurted out the secret between him and Ning Xi to Xia Yu. However, he managed to control himself. Not because he did not trust Xia Yu , but because he was confident that the world was not foolproof. Naturally, the less people who know of their secret the better. Also, since half a year would soon be over anyway, letting the cat out of the bag now wouldnt be such a wise idea.
Giving her a surprise in the future would also be good!
With that in mind, Shi Fengju held back the urge to tell Xia Yu and smiled, Only that. I will not be unfaithful to you.
En! Although disappointed, she felt happy inside and nodded with a broad smile on her face.
After the vindication between her and Ye Hao, she half-jokingly asked, Well, since your new wife just got married into the Ye family, dont you want to go back and spend some time with her?
A hesitant tone to express her unwillingness and dismay, gentle words to show her benevolence. Those were the principles she wanted him to see; to see the good side of her.
