"But I don't believe it. Even if you say so, to me, you still have a passionate heart." He paid no attention to her deliberately feigned indifference and treated her like a child throwing a tantrum, just as he always had.
"Heart?" Hearing his cheesy words, she chuckled mockingly. "It seems you really don't know much about me six years later."
Taking a deep breath, she lifted her head, a stubborn smile rising on her dim face. "But you don't need to understand. We are even less than ordinary friends; there's no need to know too much."
"Qiqi, do you really have to treat me this way? Do you hate me that much?"
There were many things he wanted to clarify with her, but her cold attitude made their interactions increasingly worse.
"I've always been this way; you just didn't know. The past is the past; it can't be changed just by saying so. Moreover, not all pasts are worth remembering."
He couldn't bring himself to believe her indifference and the distance she maintained. He thought it was just that she hadn't calmed down yet, and that she was only trying to preserve her pride in front of him.
"Alright... let's not mention the past." He understood the principle of knowing when to stop. If he continued to bring up her painful memories, it would be even harder for him to talk to her in the future.
Recalling how he saw her at Grandfather's banquet, embracing Mu Tongzi, their relationship looked anything but ordinary friends. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he finally asked, "What is your relationship with Mu Tongzi?"
On the plane, he hadn't considered their relationship in that way, but holding hands openly while shopping certainly suggested something more than friendship.
Before returning home, he knew she had married for Old Man Gu and that there was no love between her and Jiang Chengmu.
At that moment, seeing them so close together, he couldn't deny that a wave of jealousy nearly overturned all his feelings.
"I have a relationship with Mu Tongzi... just like what you see." Whether as lovers or otherwise, since he asked this way, she was not afraid of being seen by him.
"Mu Tongzi is a man with unfathomable schemes. You won't have a good outcome being with him, Qiqi...”
"What kind of outcome is my business? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Although I am currently married and my relationship with Mu Tongzi is not legitimate, you can think whatever you want. I don't care about others' opinions and views."
"Qiqi, why do you have to demean yourself like this? Do you really think someone like Mu Tongzi will give you a stable life? He is the heir of the Capital City Mu Family..."
"So what?" She interrupted him, her gaze sharp and indifferent. "This is my own choice, and whatever consequences come, I will bear them myself!"
"You..."
The meal became tasteless due to the previous topic. Facing the delicious beef noodles in front of her, they felt bland.
After finishing the noodles, Xue Yiyang ordered a bowl of red bean soup for her. Looking at the sweet soup she once loved, she recalled its significance and couldn't help but lose her appetite.
No matter how sweet the taste, it couldn't erase the bitterness deep in her heart.
Pushing away the sweet soup in front of her, she glanced at her watch and then turned to look at the dim yellow lights outside. "Thank you for the late-night snack; I need to go back!"
"I'll take you!" He stood up and called over the boss to settle the bill before quickly following her.
