Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife
chapter-1324

Xirong Ziye wiped away the blood on the corners of his lips. As he stared blankly at Bai Yaoyao disappearing from his sight, he felt as though his heart had been emptied too.

He really felt hurt and sad. He couldn’t live without her, so he couldn’t lose her now.

One of his subordinates noticed how miserable the president looked and couldn’t help but cry too. “President, shall we return?”

Xirong Ziye shook his head. “Go and check where she went. I don’t feel assured with her being alone.”

“Yes!”

After Xirong Ziye found out that Bai Yaoyao had gone to the bamboo garden near a village home, he went there too. Even if she were to ignore him, he wanted to stay near her.

He felt satisfied just by breathing the same air, knowing where she was and watching her from afar.

At least he had a clear direction now, unlike before when he didn’t even know if she was alive.

Xirong Ziye chose a room near Bai Yaoyao, wishing that he could be closer to her. That way, he would feel better.

The village home gave off a rich countryside aura, and its courtyard was full of plum flowers and bamboo trees. It was exceptionally serene, and it calmed their hearts as well.

Bai Yaoyao opened the olden windows and admired the view outside. Her mind was conflicted.

Thinking of what Xirong Ziye just said to her, she sighed.

Just when her heart had almost fully recovered, Xirong Ziye appeared and broke her peace. He made her mind extremely chaotic now.

In reality, she still felt sad, but she had already moved on from crying over him.

In the past, her tears flowed nonstop. Now, she merely felt disappointed and couldn’t shed any tears.

Nonetheless, her mind was in a mess now, and she still thought about what happened at the mall earlier.

She didn’t understand why that woman had intentionally targeted her, but when the woman addressed Duan Yanhao as ‘brother-in-law,’ she immediately understood why.

At that instant, she was in disbelief, and even felt as though she had been deceived.

As she calmly mulled over it, she realized that Duan Yanhao had never mentioned anything regarding this matter. Moreover, he might not really be her brother-in-law, even though she might have addressed him so.

During that time, Bai Yaoyao lost the courage that she had painstakingly gathered. She no longer dared to pursue that warmth. Her mind was simply too fragile to do so.

She felt that she couldn’t afford to suffer anymore. Even if it meant she was cowardly, she still avoided facing the situation.

Bai Yaoyao thought that she would be spending the new year alone again. She was lonely, but she didn’t know when her loneliness would end.

…

After Duan Yanhao exited the mall, he began looking for Bai Yaoyao. However, no matter how hard he tried, no one knew where she was.

Duan Yanhao called her, but Bai Yaoyao’s phone was turned off, frightening him immensely.

After dashing around several streets, he still couldn’t find her. Even after driving around for a long time, she was nowhere to be found.

After checking with many people, he almost lost his mind when he still couldn’t find any trace of her.

…

When Chi Jiajia left the mall, she saw Duan Yanhao’s car pulling to a halt. As he stepped out of his car, she asked excitedly, “Elder Brother Yanhao, were you waiting for me?”

Duan Yanhao strode towards Chi Jiajia and grabbed her shoulders. He asked coldly, “Was it you? Did you do something to her?”

Chi Jiajia stared at Duan Yanhao and shivered as she looked into his eyes. She replied cautiously, “Elder Brother Yanhao, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
