"And so what? He is my husband now, not yours." Bai Xue believed that her heart had become invincible long ago, but that raw truth from Bai Wanrou stung her, making her smirk in self-deprecation. It seemed she still needed to intensify her training. Then, only after transforming into Vajra Body would she be considered perfect.
"Sister Xue, if you truly love Yan, you should let go! To love someone is to wish them happiness, not to possess them! You are smart enough, Sister Xue, you should know that a love forced is not sweet!" Bai Wanrou, having lived independently for several months, had matured compared to before and dared to say these words out loud.
"His happiness can only be given by me!" Bai Xue's words were extraordinarily domineering.
She was confident that she was better suited for Su Yan than Bai Wanrou!
Moreover, even if it wasn't her, Bai Xue, it would absolutely not be Bai Wanrou!
She doesn't deserve him!
"Sister Xue, how could you...how could you be...so thick-skinned and boldly state such things? On what grounds do you claim only you can give Su Yan happiness? On what grounds? I've never seen a third party so brazen and shameless!"
"Do you think you have any chance to return to Su Yan once you've chosen to leave? Su Yan didn't even bother to look for you, do you still believe he would want you?"
Bai Xue's words hit Bai Wanrou's sore spot. Knowing Su Yan for so many years, she knew what kind of person he was. He wanted her trust, but she failed to give it. Even though her reasons for leaving were for his sake, he wouldn't accept or understand them. He would just think that she didn't trust him. Him not looking for her signified his rejection and that he didn't want her anymore.
But...but this wasn't what she wanted!
What she wanted was to be with him, free from any external control, after he gained the power; she wanted to marry him and bear their children. He would be the king and she, the queen and they would live happily ever after in the castle!
Not this separation! Not this outcome!
What she wanted was not this! Not this!
"Yan loves me. He's just too angry to look for me right now. I'll return, apologize properly, and appease him. He won't be angry with me anymore! He will forgive me because he loves me so much!" Bai Wanrou didn't know whether she was trying to convince Bai Xue or herself.
"That's just you deceiving yourself. If you believe he would forgive you, why haven't you gone to find him? Could it be that you don't know where he is?" Bai Xue sneered.
"I'm just not ready yet!" Bai Wanrou encouraged herself not to be defeated by her.
"You're aware that it's no use. You know what kind of person Su Yan is. You embarrassed him and didn't trust him at all. He won't want you back! However much he liked you, his pride matters more!" Su Yan's pride was injured because of Bai Wanrou. He didn't look for her. This signifies that he had given her up.
"You were the one who embarrassed him!" Bai Wanrou refused to admit that she'd hurt Su Yan. It was Bai Xue! It was Bai Xue who forced herself in, who made Su Yan go back on his words in public, who caused Su Yan to lose face, not her!
"Do you know, if you had hung on for three more months, you and Su Yan could have been madly in love with each other. But sadly, your love for him didn't last long enough, not even for three months. You won't realize how much your leaving signifies failure and humiliation to Su Yan!" Bai Xue, protective to a fault, loved Su Yan.
