Bai Yaoyao had pride too. No matter how much she had loved Xirong Ziye, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
She simply couldn’t forget the pain that she had suffered.
Moreover, she was grateful to Duan Yanhao. When she felt desolate and lonely, he had accompanied her and made her forget her pain.
Therefore, even though Duan Yanhao was that woman’s brother-in-law now, she still felt that he was a good man. He was the only person who had offered her warmth.
She hoped that Duan Yanhao would be happy. He had given her warmth and hope, pulling her out of her desolation. Therefore, Duan Yanhao was the most important person to her now.
If Duan Yanhao was really someone else’s brother-in-law now, she would watch over him quietly and hoped that he’ll be happy.
Bai Yaoyao had always been so selfless when it comes to her relationships. Loving someone didn’t mean possessing them, but wishing that they could be happy.
After Xirong Ziye heard Bai Yaoyao’s words, that she had already found someone who loved her, his heart felt as though something had pierced through it.
“Yaoyao, you’re lying to me, right? Don’t be so harsh to me.” Xirong Ziye’s only wish was to find Bai Yaoyao, be together with her, and seek her forgiveness. However, if he found out that she had another man by her side now, he would also give up.
Bai Yaoyao replied indifferently, “Xirong Ziye, you know that I won’t lie to you. I’m not being harsh to you. You were the one who had been harsh to me. You’ve hurt me so badly in the past, but do you know how I walked out of my misery? It was because of his company and love. With him caring for me, I slowly forgot the past.”
Seeing that Xirong Ziye was still hopeful, Bai Yaoyao continued, “Xirong Ziye, you should know that I don’t cry easily. Even though you’ve hurt me so badly in the past, I’ve never cried in front of you. The reason why I was crying earlier is because we had a minor misunderstanding.”
Bai Yaoyao’s words were calm, yet they sounded pained.
Xirong Ziye’s head rang as he stumbled backwards. He wanted to get closer to Bai Yaoyao but seemed to be failing completely. They were merely a few steps apart, but it felt as though they were miles away.
After Bai Yaoyao took several steps away, Xirong Ziye shouted, “Bai Yaoyao, I won’t ever give up. I’ll show you how I really feel!”
Bai Yaoyao paused in her tracks. Without turning back, she said, “Xirong Ziye, why are you doing this? It’s really unnecessary. Don’t you like Miss Xiamu? You can be together with her. Even if you grow bored of her, you’re the president and can have any woman you want.”
“But, Yaoyao, I love only you. I only want you. I only want you by my side.”
Bai Yaoyao’s eyes teared up as she listened to him. If only he had said those words before, but it was too late now. “Xirong Ziye, you’re really so bad at relationships.”
“Yaoyao, I know I am. I didn’t understand what I felt in the past, and after I finally did, I couldn’t find you anymore. The new year is coming, and I’ve finally found you. I want to spend the new year with you.”
Bai Yaoyao felt emotional and disappointed. Sighing softly, she said, “Xirong Ziye, I didn’t have anyone by my side in the past. This year, I don’t need you too.”
“Even if you don’t, I’ll still watch out for you from afar.”
Bai Yaoyao couldn’t be bothered any longer. After all, he wouldn’t be able to find her after she returned to the military.
She was in a bad mood now and didn’t want to entertain anyone.
As Bai Yaoyao walked away, Xirong Ziye spat out a mouthful of blood. Tears also trickled down his face.
