Chapter 1478 - 1475: Struggling in Agony

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1475: Struggling in Agony

Qiao Muyun got up. Simply put, a whole night of insomnia contained just half a night of sleep, but during that half, he indeed slept soundly. It had been a long time since he had such restful sleep. Ever since Zi Ruoxi left, for over a month, he had been anxious and worried. In the search between disappointment and hope, he struggled bitterly... two words, emotionally draining! So draining!

He walked into the bathroom, swiftly cleaned himself up. He smiled at the mirror. Not bad.

Zi Ruoxi... Today I can finally see you, that’s wonderful. It was all because of my hesitation before that led to your misunderstanding, your departure... Do you know that your leaving was a fatal blow to me? I will never let you leave me again. Zi Ruoxi... I want you to know that I love you...

Thinking of this, Qiao Muyun’s face overflowed with smiles, then he picked up the razor, carefully trimming around his foamy chin.

Before long, the refreshed Qiao Muyun stood before the mirror. He wore a black coat with leather pants and long boots, then re-tied his long hair, tying it high behind his head. Qiao Muyun looked at his reflection, smiling. This version of himself was Zi Ruoxi’s favorite. He remembered that when he was a child, she said his hair was very bright, and if he grew it long, it would surely be beautiful. Therefore, he grew it out for her, persevering for ten years. Of course, he only tidied it up when it became too long, usually just tying a ponytail when appearing before her. Watching her eyes light up in amazement when she saw him satisfied him.

Even though he dared not show his affection for her in front of his brother Haotian, all of that has passed... Now, Zi Ruoxi belongs to him. Maybe ever since she agreed to escape with him from there, she has been his. He believes she likes him. They are so familiar with each other; why can’t kinship transform into love... Hehe, Zi Ruoxi, I’m sorry to let you wait for so long. This time, I won’t hesitate. I want to be with you, forever. No one can separate us.

Qiao Muyun stepped out of the bathroom, walked to the bedside, and gently moved the pillow. The item beneath the pillow was revealed — a yellow silk ribbon.

His hand slowly picked it up, caressing it lovingly, then he couldn’t help but kiss it at his lips, gently rubbing it against his cheek. Feeling the softness it brought him, as if she were still by his side. So real...

Time passed slowly, I wish I could see you soon... Zi Ruoxi, do you miss each other like I do?

Smiling, the handsome face showed a rare gentleness. He then tucked the yellow ribbon into the pocket of his coat.

......

Finally, when night fell, Li Yaxuan got off work and returned to his "Yanxi" villa on time.

After dinner, it was already eight o’clock. This was also when nightclubs and bars started working.

A Mercedes SLR drove towards the destination. Li Yaxuan sat in the driver’s seat, glancing uncertainly at Qiao Muyun in the passenger seat.

He was a new person today, changing from his previously haggard look. It was all because of her... Yet, he didn’t know, she already...

"Qiao Muyun, when you see Zi Ruoxi later, keep calm!" Li Yaxuan said somewhat anxiously. Truthfully, he had no confidence at all now, not to mention whether Zi Ruoxi would come back with them. Just looking at Qiao Muyun now was worrisome; going with such joy, but destined to witness a heart-wrenching scene, what kind of pain would that be...

He could feel Qiao Muyun already deeply trapped in emotions that he couldn’t escape... He was already defeated by the other party, so... He dared not imagine... this man was too deep, so deep that it was impossible to guess his thoughts and actions.

Forget it, no matter how chaotic and bad it gets, he himself must stay awake, preventing both of them from getting hurt, regardless of whether it’s Qiao Muyun or Zi Ruoxi, he wouldn’t want to see any of them getting hurt.

Qiao Muyun smiled slightly.

"I know. Ya Xuan... actually..." Qiao Muyun paused for a moment, then continued without any worry or concern, whispering, "I understand Zi Ruoxi better than you do, she won’t change her heart. So, the thing you think is simply non-existent."

"......" Li Yaxuan said nothing, silently remaining quiet. He knew that anything he said now would not convince the other party, perhaps a love fool is born this way, only seeing is believing, only feeling deeply, only realizing the truth when the pain pierces the heart, realizing that the truth is always changing, especially the human heart. Today they might be madly in love, and tomorrow, perhaps in just a passing moment, fall in love with another stranger...

Of course, Zi Ruoxi hadn’t given Qiao Muyun any promises, so she wasn’t bound, and he had no reason to stop her thoughts and actions... From the other perspective, if she was originally in love with Qiao Muyun, and then falls for someone else, then such a woman was simply fickle and unreliable, not worth Qiao Muyun’s deep affection...

The car drove at a steady pace on the dark night road. The two remained quiet, seemingly lost in their own thoughts.

......

Meanwhile, at the girl.friends bar, another tragicomic scene was playing out unexpectedly...

Bars and nightclub always had colorful enchantments, within the haze were more temptations. Those so-called feelings and love gathered quietly here and slowly dispersed, this was all perfectly normal.

Just now, that scene...

"What did you say? Say it again!" A boy in white shouted sharply in the bar, causing everyone to glance towards him with side-eyed looks due to the high-pitched voice. He wasn’t in a good mood.

At the tense moment. Two boys stood confronting each other. As if similar to Han Wenxi’s breakup with girlfriend Park Jihun earlier. Except the protagonists had changed.

"I said... I’m breaking up with you, don’t you know you’re annoying, so annoying, the fact is I’ve been fed up with you for a long time. If it weren’t for you acting provocatively in bed making me do it, I would be too lazy to engage..." Another boy in a floral shirt said disdainfully, spitting out a series of seemingly personal implicit and ambiguous words. It infuriated the boy opposite him, whose eyes rolled, but his words weren’t finished.

Suddenly.

An empty beer bottle was swept up by the boy in white.
