Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 883: Chapter 885: No Other Meaning

Those fleeting things are like sand slipping through your fingers—the tighter you grip, the quicker they escape.

The same principle applies: if Brother Zhenyu were truly standing in front of her, could they return to the past? Could everything be reset to zero and start anew?

She was no longer the pure, innocent Xia Qingqian she once was. Would Brother Zhenyu still want her? Even if Brother Zhenyu didn’t mind, she could never go back.

Beitang Yao’s left hand left the steering wheel, tugging at his tie, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Xia Qingqian, whose expression reflected the loneliness of the night.

”What are you thinking so deeply about?” It seemed he didn’t want to miss any of her expressions; seeing her lost in thought, he was eager to know what she was pondering.

Xia Qingqian slightly lifted her head from where it rested against the car window, turning her face to look at the Young Master who had spoken.

”Young Master, will the beauty we once had disappear?” As she said this, her nose tingled, and misty tears welled up in her eyes.

After a moment, the Young Master hadn’t replied to her words, and she took a quiet, deep breath.

Her words made Beitang Yao pause for a moment too. He had also asked himself countless times: would the beauty of the past truly disappear?

The beautiful moments between him and his mother—would they truly vanish with the shattering of the filigree vase?

If possible, he too wanted a complete answer.

”Stop filling your head with unnecessary things.” Beitang Yao’s icy eyes narrowed, coldly gazing into the night as he drove steadily.

Xia Qingqian lightly pressed her lips together, ”Young Master, I don’t mean anything else, I just want to understand some things.”

”What did Nancy say?” When he left, he saw Nancy’s gentle gaze falling on Xia Qingqian.

The Nancy he knew was aloof towards women, so why did his gaze become so gentle when facing Xia Qingqian?

”Young Master, there’s really nothing between Nancy and me. I will abide by the terms of the contract.” She lowered her voice, ”Zhenyu, he was my best friend from childhood; I just can’t forget this friend.”

When Xia Qingqian said these words, not only did Beitang Yao not feel any relief, but instead, a trace of sadness arose in his chest.

If it weren’t for that contractual agreement, would there be nothing between them? Why were all the women around him so vain and superficial?

Shen Youran was like this, and Xia Qingqian too—both were such contemptible women.

”You’d better remember your identity.” He didn’t want to say any more; the more he said, the less he could control his own emotions.

”Young Master, may I return to school?” She had always remembered her thesis defense; all the materials were left in the dormitory.

”You’re a student at A University?” Beitang Yao asked calmly.

Xia Qingqian nodded lightly, not understanding why the Young Master asked her this.

Beitang Yao sneered coldly; indeed, birds of a feather flock together, this was precisely the meaning.

Shen Youran was also a student at A University, and Xia Qingqian too... did all the students from A University like to sell themselves? Were they all so vain and materialistic...

Unknowingly, the car had already stopped at the gate of A University, and Beitang Yao spoke indifferently, ”My time is very tight, come out quickly.”

Xia Qingqian unbuckled her seatbelt, nodding repeatedly, ”Young Master, please wait a moment, I will come out soon.” She promised.
