Chapter 416: Chapter 416: After All These Years, She’s Tired...
Xi Wei once again handed the document back to Li Mingmo, "Li Mingmo, from now on, focus on your own things. I know you have a lot to do, so stop staying by my side because of this agreement."
"So..." Li Mingmo chuckled, the document already deformed in his hand, "Are you breaking up with me for good?"
"Breaking up for good?" Xi Wei couldn’t help but laugh, but it was a laugh filled with bitterness and irony, "Li Mingmo, sometimes the way you talk is really strange and so easy to misunderstand.
We were never together, so how can there be a breakup?
I’m just giving you back your freedom. In the next few months or even longer, I’ll be filming in S City.
Your base is in B City, and you’re a colonel. You really don’t need to run to S City all the time."
"What business is it of yours where I go? Can’t I come to S City to see Ji Hanyu? What if I just like S City?"
"Sure, that’s fine!" Xi Wei said lightly, "Whatever your reason for coming to S City, as long as it’s not because of me, it’s fine."
Her problem of indulging in wishful thinking was something she couldn’t change overnight.
Since she was so useless, it was better to cut it off at the root.
Li Mingmo often appeared in front of her, even lingering every day, she really couldn’t forget him.
She originally thought she could, but this knife-blocking incident was a harsh slap in the face.
She didn’t regret blocking the knife for Li Mingmo; if the situation happened again, she would still do it.
But, she really didn’t want to love him anymore.
It’s been so many years, she’s tired...
When Bai Haoxue came over with chicken soup, Li Mingmo was storming out in anger, leaving Bai Haoxue utterly puzzled.
"Yiyi, did you guys have a fight?"
"No!" Xi Wei said, "I don’t know what’s up with him. I’m giving him freedom, and he’s unhappy about it. I’m unhappy too."
She tried hard, pleaded with her father a lot, and made countless promises before her father reluctantly agreed.
But he, instead of thanking her, was full of anger.
It felt like she had done something insane.
"Yiyi, maybe you think you’re giving Li Mingmo freedom, but to him, that agreement was his excuse to see you and stay by your side."
Bai Haoxue always believed that Li Mingmo liked Xi Wei.
Why he behaved like this only he knew.
Xi Wei nodded, "I know, but I don’t want this anymore.
I don’t want him to stay by my side anymore.
He doesn’t love me, and I don’t want to keep loving him either.
Haoxue, I once said that I would stop loving him — it wasn’t just words. I really don’t want to continue liking him."
She had pursued Li Mingmo for years, and she had made all her efforts. She had no regrets.
But she felt exhausted. If a relationship makes you feel tired, then what’s the point in holding on?
She needed to know when to stop and take a step back.
She didn’t want to look back and only remember the word "tired."
Xi Wei said, "I’m so young, I’ll eventually meet someone who likes me, and I like them back.
Before meeting that person, I need to clear my heart; otherwise, my future partner would get jealous, and it would be unfair to him!"
"As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Whatever decision you make, I’m on your side."
People say Xi Wei is naive, but she is the one most clear-minded...
