Chapter 35: Too Late…

Su Hongxing was at a loss for words. Could she say that someone was behind her marriage to Ye Qilan?

Of course, it was undeniable that she had given up on herself by choosing to register with Ye Qilan.

She had lived with the Xiao family for many years and always thought that she would be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family sooner or later. She had set her mind on Xiao Ji and thought that he was the man she was going to marry in this life.

However, Xiao Ji and Zhou Luhe worked together to direct a good show. They gave her a wake-up call and let her see that she was nothing.

Xiao Ji clearly knew about the grudges between her and Zhou Luhe. He also knew that Zhou Luhe would not let go of any opportunity to trample her to death. However, he had an affair with Zhou Luhe three years ago.

“Then tell me, there are so many good women in the world. Why do you have to marry Zhou Luhe?” Su Hongxing asked softly.

This was the question that had been bothering her.

Xiao Ji could marry any woman in the world, so why did it have to be Zhou Luhe?

It wasn’t like Xiao Ji didn’t know how Zhou Luhe had treated her all these years. Every time Zhou Luhe humiliated her, Xiao Ji would act as her escort.

However, it was also Xiao Ji, the man who protected her, who joined forces with Zhou Luhe, whom she hated the most, to stab her in the heart.

Xiao Ji was rendered speechless by Su Hongxing’s question.

That’s right. What right did he have to criticize Su Hongxing?

He was the one who betrayed her first, and he was also the one who turned around first. Su Hongxing wanting to be with any man was her own business. He, Xiao Ji, no longer had the right to judge her feelings.

“Xing’er, I’m sorry, but I hope you remember to treat yourself better at all times. Ye Qilan isn’t worthy of you. You deserve the best man. Listen to me and stay away from Ye Qilan. With your cultivation, you’re no match for him.”

Xiao Ji wanted to touch her hair, but he didn’t dare to touch her.

“It’s too late. I can’t turn back.” Su Hongxing’s eyes darkened.

From the moment she and Ye Qilan walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, she knew that her life and feelings had been misaligned.

No matter what happened in the future, she knew what she wanted.

She even felt that she and Ye Qilan were destined to be entangled.

Sometimes, when she interacted with Ye Qilan, she felt that they had a tacit understanding as if they had known each other for a long time.

“Why? As long as you’re willing, you can definitely turn back!” Xiao Ji was anxious. He grabbed Su Hongxing’s shoulder, hoping to shake her awake completely.

Su Hongxing was stunned for a long time before replying, “Do you still remember the dream I told you about?”

“The dream you had since you were young?” Xiao Ji’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly became nervous.

“In the past, you always told me that the man in my dream was you and that you were the man of my dreams. I used to believe it too, but after meeting Ye Qilan, I realized that he was the man in my dream. The man’s face in the past was always covered in a layer of fog. After that, I had the same dream again. It was his face every time and it was clear every time.”

Su Hongxing looked at Xiao Ji coldly. “Doesn’t this mean that we were wrong from the beginning?”

Perhaps her separation from Xiao Ji was inevitable.

Of course, Ye Qilan could not be the one for her. The dream told her clearly that Ye Qilan would divorce her sooner or later.

“It’s not like that…” Xiao Ji was powerless to refute.

If he didn’t know that Su Hongxing had strange dreams since she was young, he would have thought that she was joking with him.
