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

Chapter 897: Chapter 899: Why Did You Save Me?

This blow really left her unable to recover. For four years, no matter how painful her life was, as long as she thought that Brother Zhenyu would definitely come back to bring her happiness, she would grit her teeth and endure.

But now, what reason does she have to keep waiting? There’s no one left who can help her live strongly...

Dad? He doesn’t even deserve to be called her dad. He never gave her a shred of fatherly warmth. He even forced her to sell herself to ensure his safety.

She was already fed up with such a family, and she’s lived enough. Now, even her last ray of sunshine has been taken away. What is there left in this world for her to long for?

”...” Beitang Yao didn’t know what to say, only stared at her helplessly.

”Why did you save me... Just a step away, and I could have been with him...” Xia Qingqian still resented that Beitang Yao had saved her. Didn’t he hate her so much he wished she would die? Why did he save her then?

Beitang Yao sat by the bed, suddenly reached out, and gently tucked her falling hair behind her ear, ”Stop dwelling on what has already happened. Living well is the greatest comfort to the deceased.” Although his movements were a bit awkward, it was the gentleness that Beitang Yao had never shown before.

Xia Qingqian shrank back, never expecting the always indifferent him to act so gently, which added a bit more astonishment to her sorrow.

”Is that so? But he once said he would be with me forever, that we’d watch the sunrise together, and watch the sunset together...” Her eyes blurred, and she didn’t even know what she was saying, ”But these things, before we had the chance to fulfill them, ceased to exist...”

This was the first time she expressed her truest feelings, deeply stimulating every nerve of his. He never wanted to shake someone awake from their senses.

Yet seeing Xia Qingqian looking like she’s ready to die, his heart felt like it was gently scored by a sharp blade, insignificant yet causing a vague pain that he would remember.

”It will be, as long as he remains in your heart, he will always be by your side, never leaving.” He set aside his indifference, and in a changed tone, gently comforted her.

Xia Qingqian stared blankly at Beitang Yao, who suddenly seemed like a different person, and smiled lightly, ”You’re all liars, he’s never coming back!” Then she pushed Beitang Yao away.

Why did Mu Liubing have to tell her such a cruel truth? Why couldn’t she let her live in waiting? As long as Brother Zhenyu didn’t return for one day, she would keep waiting. But now, he’s gone, never to return, and no matter how long she waits, she will not see his return.

”I’m not lying to you, it’s true. Just like my mommy, even though she’s gone, she will always live in my heart, never leaving...” Beitang Yao didn’t expect her to push him so hard, nor did he expect her to have completely forgotten the terms in their contract.

This was also the first time Beitang Yao talked about his mother. For so many years, as long as he thought of his mommy, his heart wouldn’t hurt as much. And now, he had to, like a father, use all his skills to soothe his tantrum-prone ’daughter.’

He suddenly felt overwhelmed, seeing her tear-stained, sorrowful expression. He couldn’t even bring himself to yell at her, despite wanting to.
