Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Most Afraid She’d Lose Her True Self
Ji Hanyu had ulterior motives for taking her back.
This sentence, like a spell, lingered in Bai Haoxue’s mind.
Bai Haoxue couldn’t accept such a truth.
She ran to Ji Hanyu’s study, she had to get to the bottom of it.
But when Bai Haoxue reached outside Ji Hanyu’s study, she heard Xiao Bei fighting with Ji Hanyu.
Though she couldn’t see what was happening inside, it was clear the fight was intense and severe.
The sounds of Ji Hanyu and Xiao Bei fighting, throwing things, and smashing objects were unmistakably loud, as were the punches landing.
She heard Xiao Bei angrily say, "Why won’t you let me? If it weren’t for the fact that Bai Haoxue might be a living antidote, I would have dealt with her for you long ago."
"Great, you’d deal with her? Dare you? I’ll beat you to death today, and we’ll see how you go about it!"
After that, all she could hear was the sound of Ji Hanyu beating up Xiao Bei.
Ji Hanyu was extremely violent and showed no mercy.
Just hearing Xiao Bei’s screams, one could imagine how badly he was beaten by Ji Hanyu.
In the end, Xiao Bei was beaten so badly he couldn’t walk and had to be carried out.
But Bai Haoxue couldn’t care about that anymore.
Living antidote!
When she heard these three words, all the trust Bai Haoxue had in her heart completely shifted towards Ye Jinyan.
What’s the point in asking anymore?
There was no need, was there?
So, this was the reason he took her back at all costs?
Ha... so, this was the reason!
Bai Haoxue returned to her room in a daze, not coming out all day.
During that time, because Bai Haoxue was so averse to Ji Hanyu, Ji Hanyu made sure not to appear in front of her.
Many times, it was only late at night, when Bai Haoxue was completely asleep, that he dared sneak into the room to look at her.
Ji Hanyu thought Bai Haoxue didn’t know, but she did.
Because she couldn’t sleep at all; ever since her mother died, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.
But she didn’t drive him away!
During the day, whenever she saw him, she couldn’t help but hurt him.
But if she didn’t hurt him, she felt guilty towards her mother.
Either way, it caused Bai Haoxue immense pain.
She was trapped in a world of contradictions, unable to break free.
But, laughable and pathetic as it was.
From the beginning, he actually approached her with a purpose.
The thing she had always been proud of was Ji Hanyu’s love for her.
And yet...
After Ji Hanyu’s fight with Xiao Bei, he didn’t return to Snowfield Manor for three whole days.
During those three days, Bai Haoxue stayed in her room almost all the time.
Every day the servants brought her food, and she made a point of eating a little.
Although she hadn’t decided what to do about the baby in her belly,
she wouldn’t allow herself to mistreat her own baby.
Until the fourth day, when Ji Hanyu came back, Bai Haoxue calmly asked to talk to him.
Ji Hanyu refused; he had a bad feeling, so he ran away.
Whenever Bai Haoxue appeared, he left, refusing to meet her.
Bai Haoxue didn’t force him but gradually became quieter.
She became so frightfully quiet; someone who loved noise, play, and talking could go days without saying a word.
When she saw him, she no longer hurt him with words, no longer lashed out, got angry, or roared at him.
She remained quiet every day, like a doll without a soul.
Finally, Ji Hanyu couldn’t take it anymore, unwilling to see her like that.
Seeing Bai Haoxue like that, Ji Hanyu suddenly realized.
It turns out he wasn’t most afraid of Bai Haoxue hurting him, or even leaving him.
But rather, that she lost herself...
