Chapter 1786: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (29)
Ximen Jin walked out of the restaurant and got into the car, instructing the driver to drive away.
He was no stranger to this island.
He had spent a sweet time with Long Mei here.
He understood her personality and knew that she would never turn back once she missed out on it.
He could only blame himself for creating such a situation.
Ximen Jin did not want to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt. However, the scene of her hitting him with her bag and questioning him for that man kept appearing in his mind.
It was not because he cared about how much pain she had caused him, but because he could not stand her protecting another man!
His organs felt like they were being torn apart by an invisible hand. It was so painful that he could not control himself.
“Young Master, Elder Dong called again just now and suggested that you and Miss Ye Qingqing get engaged.”
After Tang En pretended to be Ximen Chang and took over the Ximen family’s affairs, he had caused quite a loss for the family. Now that Ximen Jin had taken over, he needed to fill in the huge financial gap.
After running around, he managed to solve that problem in no time.
However, the Ximen family was no longer as glorious as it was in the past. The elders in the family suggested for him to marry into the prestigious Ye family in order to stabilize the Ximen family’s status and power.
Ximen Jin had rejected her once. He only had Long Mei in his heart and wanted to get her back.
However, seeing Long Mei’s resolute attitude today, he knew that he would never be able to get her back in his life.
Deep in Ximen Jin’s heart, a strong sense of despair spread.
He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he had already regained his calm. “Let’s meet up sometime!”
…
Long Mei brought Devin to the hospital for a checkup.
Fortunately, there were no major problems.
Long Mei apologized again. “I’m really sorry.”
Devin shook his head. “Mei’er, I punched him first before he kicked me. You don’t have to apologize.”
Long Mei looked down. “When you see him in the future, don’t get into conflict with him again.” Now that he was the young master of the Ximen family, ordinary people could not afford to offend him.
“Mei’er, I want to pursue you. Can you give me a chance?” Devin looked at Long Mei sincerely. “I know that you haven’t completely walked out of your previous relationship, but if you close yourself off like this and don’t give anyone a chance, you will only live in pain.”
“Perhaps, starting a new relationship will make you forget your previous relationship. Do you want to give it a try?”
Looking at the sincere Devin, Long Mei’s lips moved. “I…”
“Don’t be in a hurry to reply to me. I’m willing to wait.”
…
When Xiao Ying woke up, she found that it was already afternoon.
The bathroom door was pulled open and the man, who had woken up before her, walked out.
He was wearing a black shirt and pants, his hair still wet. Seeing that she was awake, his well-defined and cold face softened a little. He walked to the bed and caressed her hair. “Are you hungry?”
Xiao Ying glared at him. “You still have the cheek to ask? Mei’er called and asked us to eat together. You told her that we haven’t woken up. How am I supposed to face Mei’er?”
“Didn’t you say that pretty boy likes her? Why should we be third wheels when she’s eating with a pretty boy?”
Xiao Ying pinched the man’s firm arm and chided him angrily, “He’s the designer, Devin, not a pretty boy!”
Long Ming was about to say something when Xiao Ying’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was Long Mei, Long Ming’s expression darkened. “Why is she calling you all day?”
This fellow was jealous of Devin, but he was even more jealous of Mei’er.
“Don’t you have a video conference? Go and start it quickly!”
Long Ming was speechless. They were not even married and she was already complaining about him?
Seeing the man standing by the bed with a tense expression, with no intention of leaving, Xiao Ying could only stand up and kiss his well-defined handsome face.
“Go, I’ll go back with you tonight.”
…
Xiao Ying found Long Mei on the beach.
Long Mei was leaning against a palm tree, a glass of red wine in her hand and a bottle of red wine beside her.
“Mei’er.” Xiao Ying sat beside Long Mei.
Long Mei’s long eyelashes fluttered and she looked up at Xiao Ying.
The confident and arrogant girl from before had finally changed. There was sorrow and worry in her eyes.
Long Mei drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp. “Sister-in-law, I feel that I’m quite useless… I met Ximen Jin today and asked him to stop pestering me. However, hearing him say that he won’t cause me any more trouble, I felt very sad…”
“Why am I so cheap? I was hurt so badly by that man, but I still can’t remove him from my heart…”
Before Long Mei could finish, Xiao Ying hugged her shoulders tightly.
“Mei’er, don’t talk about yourself like that. To be honest, when I found out that Ximen Jin was using you, I wanted to cut him into pieces. But later, I found out that he had his reasons and even worked with Long Ming to deal with Tang En. I think he’s not that bad.”
“He was wrong. He shouldn’t have used and lied to you.” Xiao Ying thought of her past self. She had also done that to Long Ming. “I did something wrong to your brother, but your brother still chose to give me a chance.”
“I can’t say much about your relationship with Ximen Jin. You just have to follow your heart.”
Follow her heart?
Long Mei leaned her head on Xiao Ying’s shoulder and murmured hoarsely, “I don’t want to have any contact with him anymore. I want to forget him completely… I want to start afresh.”
…
Long Mei tried to give Devin a chance. She did not refuse when Devin asked her out.
She wanted to start a new life.
At the end of the year, Devin and Long Mei agreed to go to the mountains. Long Mei liked extreme sports. After Devin found out about that, he would accompany her whenever he had time.
…
After that farewell on the island, Ximen Jin and Long Mei had broken up completely.
He did not ask anyone to find out more about her, and they both returned to their own lives.
Without Long Mei, it did not matter to Ximen Jin whom he married.
For the sake of the family, he agreed to meet Miss Ye.
The date was set for the end of the year.
The private room was at the seven-star hotel’s big restaurant. The elders from the Ye and Ximen families came to the private room. Ximen Jin was the last to arrive. He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a knee-length coat. Under his short and cold hair was a face that appeared both good and evil.
After he sat down, he glanced at the calm and elegant girl opposite him. Seeing his gaze on her, she nodded at him calmly, unlike some girls who would look smitten after seeing his appearance.
They nodded at each other.
The elders of both families were present and the atmosphere was rather warm.
Ximen Jin drank a few glasses of wine and leaned back in his chair. From the corner of his eye, he saw a news broadcast on the television screen.
There had been an avalanche on the Eagle Rock Snow Mountain. One of the names on the list of people who had met with danger on the mountain was… Long Mei.
