Capítulo 1418: Chapter 1411: The Two Women’s Conversation

Mu Qingxue looked at Bai Zhiqing, explaining somewhat flustered, but when she uttered those words, for some reason, Mu Qingxue felt a piercing pain in her heart, as if someone was pricking it with a needle. She truly did not want to deny her affection for Lu Tianxing, but regrettably, she did not want Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing to become enemies because of her, nor did she want Lu Tianxing to hate her for this.

Seeing Mu Qingxue’s appearance, Bai Zhiqing sighed softly and said, “Qingxue, why put yourself through this? Your expression has already betrayed your heart. Are you still protecting him like this? Is it worth it? He’s already married, and you’re still defending him. Is it worth it? Your efforts might not receive any rewards.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue was slightly stunned. A hint of determination flashed on her face, and she softly said, “It’s worth it.”

When Bai Zhiqing heard Mu Qingxue’s resolute answer, a wry smile appeared on her face. She knew she would get this response. Lin Qianru had once told her the same thing, that everything was worth it for Lu Tianxing. But is it all truly worth it? If it were her, would she say it’s worth it? Perhaps she would!

“Sister Zhiqing, I’m sorry, I… really can’t control myself. You can hit me or scold me! It has nothing to do with Tianxing.”

Mu Qingxue’s face showed an irrepressible sadness, perhaps from now on, she would never be able to see Lu Tianxing again. Yet she felt no regrets, she really did not want to go against her heart anymore, not even when facing Bai Zhiqing. Love is love.

A wry smile passed over Bai Zhiqing’s face, she said, “Hitting you or scolding you, will it help? If I hit you or scold you, would you give up your love for Lu Tianxing? From now on, stay far away from Lu Tianxing, never to cross paths again?”

Mu Qingxue did not speak, she just gently shook her head. She definitely would not give up her love for Lu Tianxing, nor would she leave him.

Seeing Mu Qingxue’s expression, a hint of bitterness flashed in Bai Zhiqing’s heart. Taking a deep breath, she asked Mu Qingxue softly, “Qingxue, can you tell me how you came to like him?”

“How did I come to like him?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Mu Qingxue’s delicate frame trembled slightly, and her beautiful face showed a hint of recollection. In a low murmur, she said, “I don’t even know how I came to like Tianxing. I only know that in my most desperate moment, he appeared before me like a hero. I don’t know why, but from the first sight of him, the fear and terror in my heart suddenly turned to calmness. There was no more fear or terror. It felt like finding an oasis in a desert or encountering a glimmer of light in the darkness.”

“When he appeared beside me, I felt an unprecedented sense of security as if, with him by my side, no danger would ever come to me again. As long as he exists, I would never be hurt in this lifetime.”

Mu Qingxue murmured softly, her mind unconsciously recalling the scene where Lu Tianxing saved her, a faint smile on her lips.

Even though back then Lu Tianxing was far from as charming as he is now, being dark and thin. At that moment, any woman might not have thought of Lu Tianxing as their Prince Charming, but in her heart, at that moment, Lu Tianxing was her hero, her prince, the man destined for her in this lifetime.

She could never forget that day. When Lu Tianxing stood before her, she found that her fear-filled and anxious heart became calm as if a storm-tossed ship had found a harbor. An unprecedented sense of security enveloped her heart.

“Hero saving the damsel, indeed, makes one feel grateful. But, Qingxue, don’t you think your so-called affection is just gratitude?” Bai Zhiqing saw Mu Qingxue’s expression and sighed softly.

“Yes, I once thought my affection for Tianxing was only because he saved me at my most dangerous moment, making me mistakenly believe I liked him, and that this affection was only a dependence. So, in my heart, I once thought about forgetting him, but I really couldn’t. I couldn’t forget him. Every time I wanted to forget him, his shadow became more profound, more unforgettable. In the end, when I wanted to forget him, I felt a piercing pain deep within my heart, filled with bitterness. That’s when I realized I had already fallen for this man, perhaps wouldn’t forget him in this lifetime.”

As she spoke, a painful expression appeared on Mu Qingxue’s face. Sometimes, she really wanted to forget Lu Tianxing, but she couldn’t. Every time she tried, she felt her heart was empty, like she had lost her spirit, unable to forget. This man seemed like a tree deeply rooted in her heart, never to leave.

“Then why don’t you look for him?”

Bai Zhiqing asked the most significant doubt in her heart as she looked at the pained expression on Mu Qingxue’s face. Since Mu Qingxue liked Lu Tianxing so much, why didn’t she look for him initially? Back then, Lu Tianxing was just a soldier with no change in appearance, and given the Mu Family’s influence in Beijing, finding Lu Tianxing would be a piece of cake. So why did Mu Qingxue never find Lu Tianxing? It seemed a little too illogical.

“I once asked the Mu Family to help me find him, but they kept telling me they couldn’t find him, saying this person didn’t exist at all. Until later, I accidentally overheard their conversation, and I realized my Second Grandpa had suppressed all information about Tianxing, never letting me know because he knew the person I was looking for was just a poor soldier. They would only reply with three words—I don’t know. When I tried to investigate Tianxing’s whereabouts myself, I found that Tianxing had left the army. No one knew where he went, no matter how I investigated, there was no use, except knowing he eventually went abroad. After going abroad, no further information could be found.”

“So, Qingxue, did you enter the entertainment industry back then also to find him?”

“Yes.”

Faced with Bai Zhiqing’s inquiry, Mu Qingxue nodded gently without denying it. She knew that from now on, perhaps she and Lu Tianxing would become strangers, and in Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, she might be just a shameless woman. But today, she just wanted to speak about the things suppressed in her heart completely, regardless of the consequences, she did not care.

“When I realized my Second Grandpa had deliberately concealed the truth under his words, and Tianxing had gone abroad with no trace to be found again, I was once frustrated, desperate, but I didn’t want to give up just like that. So, I convinced my brother and entered the entertainment industry. Since they were unwilling to tell me Tianxing’s whereabouts, I decided to find him myself. The higher my status in the entertainment industry, the wider my network, the better chances I would have of finding Tianxing, this man who haunts my dreams, unforgettable in this lifetime.”

As she spoke, Mu Qingxue’s face suddenly showed an extremely painful expression: “I searched for him three years. I hoped that when I saw him again, I’d tell him the ugly duckling you talked about has grown into a swan and ask if he would be willing to marry me. But I didn’t expect that when I finally found him, he was already married with a beautiful wife, far more outstanding than I am.”

“Sister Zhiqing, you know, at that moment, I felt like the whole world collapsed. My world turned to black and white. Even back at Bai’s Group, I didn’t pray for him to accept me; I just hoped he’d give me a hug. But in the end, even that he refused me. At that moment, I felt like my heart was about to break. I also thought about forgetting him, but I couldn’t, I really couldn’t forget him…”

Mu Qingxue’s face showed an expression of immense pain, her sorrow over her heart dying. At that time, Mu Qingxue felt like this; she had longed for a man for three whole years, loved him for three whole years. In the end, when she found this man, he had become someone else’s Prince Charming. Such a blow, no matter who it is, would be almost unbearable.

After hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, a bitter smile flashed on Bai Zhiqing’s face. Although Mu Qingxue’s words did not express much, Bai Zhiqing could hear Mu Qingxue’s love for Lu Tianxing, perhaps not less than her love for Lu Tianxing, maybe even more. Otherwise, Mu Qingxue wouldn’t have risked coming to Jiangnan, nor would she have looked for Lu Tianxing for three years.

Mu Qingxue didn’t see the fleeting bitter smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face, and after speaking, Mu Qingxue looked at Bai Zhiqing and slowly said, “Sister Zhiqing, I’ve finished speaking. You can scold me as much as you like. I am shameless; I am brazen, knowing he is married yet still can’t forget him. Go ahead and scold me! I don’t mind because, in others’ eyes, I am just a disgraceful third party…”

Bai Zhiqing sighed again upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s words. Lu Tianxing, this guy indeed causes harm, why does he attract women so much, and each woman is so unconditionally devoted to him!

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhiqing’s face suddenly broke into a smile, she looked at Mu Qingxue and said, “Qingxue, thank you for telling me all this.”

“Sister Zhiqing, you don’t blame me?” Mu Qingxue’s body trembled, asking a little cautiously.
