Chapter 87 The Complete Joke _1

"...I could have driven Eleven out of West Shadow a long time ago, before you came back. Why would I wait until after your return to do these things?"

Exactly!

The whole reason she never confronted Fang Eleven was the fear that if the matter came to light and Jin Xiangbei found out, their relationship would likely be over.

She originally thought that after all these years, as long as Fang Eleven didn’t appear in front of him, he would one day forget her, but...

"Yes, however, you never told me that Eleven was also in West Shadow."

Yao Ruoshui tensed up at this.

He thought that Fang Eleven had disappeared, had left, but he didn’t expect that she never left, but stayed in Xicheng instead.

She never told Jin Xiangbei, who was in the United States, that Fang Eleven was in West Shadow!

She knew that if he found out Eleven was still here, he would immediately fly back to the country. How could she possibly tell him?

The reason Fang Eleven dared to show up in Xicheng was that she knew Jin Xiangbei was not in the country and even if she, Yao Ruoshui, knew, she wouldn’t tell Jin Xiangbei!

All these years, she had been frightened and worried that Jin Xiangbei would find out her secret. She wanted to drive her away, but also feared attracting his attention, and thus indirectly letting him know where Fang Eleven was.

Yao Ruoshui lowered her head and changed the subject: "In any case, I’ve never done anything to Fang Eleven. The innocent are always so. If you don’t believe it, check it out for yourself. I have nothing to fear."

Jin Xiangbei observed her reaction, which seemed genuinely innocent.

Was it really not her fault?

Suddenly hearing the sound of a door opening, Yao Ruoshui saw Jin Xiangbei getting out of the car, so she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out too.

Jin Xiangbei stood in front of the bridge railing, and Yao Ruoshui ran over, hugging his waist from behind and leaning her face on his back.

"Xiangbei..." Yao Ruoshui’s voice broke with the onset of tears, "Don’t leave me... In my heart, there is only you... There’s room for no one else, and you’re all I have... Please don’t leave me..."

Hearts aren’t made of stone.

Men don’t always see through women’s tricks.

Jin Xiangbei, annoyed by Yao Ruoshui’s tears, slowly pried her fingers open.

His cold voice spoke: "Actually, you have another choice, and that is to leave me. You will forget me. Your life will encounter someone even better, so stop wasting your time with me. Five years have passed, haven’t you noticed anything?"

"No! I believe in companionship! Whether it’s five years or fifty years, I’m willing to spend the time to accompany you, until your heart belongs completely to me!" Yao Ruoshui sobbed, "We’re about to get married, aren’t we? All our relatives and friends know, you wouldn’t... at this point..."

"Marriage..."

He gave a bitter laugh.

In the past, he never thought he would marry a woman other than Eleven.

Then, in his desperation he accepted his family’s arrangements. His resigned acceptance wavered when he reencountered Eleven.

Should he really accept his destiny?

However, Eleven appeared! Wasn’t this the second chance from the heavens?

"Xiangbei!" Seeing his hesitation, Yao Ruoshui almost went insane, "You can’t expect me to have a wedding on my own, can you? Are you still thinking about Eleven— No, I don’t care who else you have in your heart, just don’t leave me. That’s my only request. Don’t make me lose face in front of everyone... The Yao family and the Jin family cannot afford that! We would become the laughingstock of others..."

Laughingstock!

Ha...

Right now, he already felt like a complete joke!
