Chapter 835: Chapter 832: The County Magistrate’s Wife 1
The car drove far away.
Yan Xixi finally felt utterly hopeless.
Her gaze fell on the phone screen, and even WeChat hadn’t lit up again—he hadn’t sent her any messages in the past half month.
Occasionally, there was a flash, but it was gossip news. She opened it, and it was an extensive report about Rina. It was the coverage of last night’s auction event. This charity gala auctioned off 9 items, and due to its charitable nature, the most expensive was Rina’s vase at 3.88 million.
There was a photo of Rina with the vase, and the report also mentioned that in order to win her favor, a tycoon donated money in her name to a charity aimed at treating cancer patients in remote areas.
This action granted Rina great fame, and it was announced that she was officially invited to become a charity ambassador.
The end of the news mentioned that Rina had turned down several big-budget blockbuster films in order to stay home and peacefully prepare for childbirth, smoothly marrying into a wealthy family.
Peacefully prepare for childbirth.
Seeing those four words made Yan Xixi feel extremely nervous for some reason, her body hair standing on end.
Finally, her phone rang.
Her heart surged like a storm.
But she was immediately disappointed.
It was Huang Xiaojue.
"Xixi... are you leaving today?"
She steadied herself, "Yes, I’m already on my way to the airport."
Huang Xiaojue was silent for a long time, and so was she.
Between them, there seemed to be a thousand words to say, but they didn’t know what to say.
That’s how it is when separated for a long time; you once thought some people, you could never let go in a lifetime. But as time goes on, you discover that regardless of who’s missing from this earth, your life continues just the same.
Yan Xixi found it odd, thinking back—during the time after her mother’s death, she couldn’t imagine what she’d do without Huang Xiaojue?? Would the world collapse?
In the end, she continued living just fine.
After her fight with Huang’s mom, she was heartbroken, at some moment feeling like the most important thing in the world had died.
Even now, seeing this call, she felt not a ripple—she didn’t love him at all anymore.
So terrifying.
She secretly feared: would there come a day when she wouldn’t love Wan Donglin either?
Could it be that Yan Xixi is truly a woman devoid of affection?
"Xixi, are you going alone, can you adapt?"
She replied calmly: "I’m very adaptable, don’t worry."
Another silence.
Instead, she sought conversation: "Xiaojue, when are you getting married?"
He didn’t hide it: "Tentatively set for early next year."
Counting the time, it’s less than half a year.
The two chatted like old friends: "The hotel is booked, friends will be only some insiders, planning to go abroad for the honeymoon after the wedding..."
It sounded like a very low-key wedding.
Zhou Ting’s family isn’t a tycoon. At this juncture, they’re certainly acting low-key.
She thought for a moment, then asked, "Xiaojue, is it really that there’s no choice, or is there another reason?"
Huang Xiaojue remained silent.
Due to the prolonged silence, she suddenly realized that there must be many important things Huang Xiaojue hadn’t told her—even if Zhou Ting pursued him fervently, logically, if Huang Xiaojue didn’t agree, how could they become a couple?
But when she thought of Huang’s mom, Yang Wei... and the others, she understood the answer.
Huang Xiaojue had never been able to escape the shadow of Huang’s mom.
Perhaps, because of hatred towards Wan Donglin, was it a momentary lapse in judgment?
