Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife
chapter-1436

Xie Limo crossed his legs and lightly tapped his fingers on the table as he said, “Bai Yaoyao, you should know that if you leave just like this, Bixue will be worried.”

“You’re right, I’m afraid that she would be worried, that’s why I came to find you. You will surely be able to think of a reason to tell her.”

Seeing how stubborn Bai Yaoyao was, a dark glow flashed across Xie Limo’s eyes. He sighed and said, “Bai Yaoyao, it’s just like what you said. There will be war in Country X. The North and South will be fighting against each other. The situation is really tense now, and war will break out at any moment. You will be in great danger if you go back now.”

“I know it will be very dangerous. I’m not afraid of death. Furthermore, Duan Yanhao is over there. He is the one leading the Northern army, and I know he will definitely lead everyone in the war. I don’t want to just sit and wait around doing nothing.”

“If anything happens to you, Duan Yanhao will be in pain.”

Bai Yaoyao’s heart shuddered. She had not thought of that.

“You must know about his past by now?”

Bai Yaoyao nodded. “I know. His fiancée sacrificed herself when she was out on a mission.”

Xie Limo pondered for a moment and nodded. “That’s right. He might have only felt responsibility towards his fiancée back then. That alone had caused him so much pain for so many years. Now that he has feelings for you, if something happened to you, what would happen to him?”

He was a man, so he could understand a man’s thoughts well. Only when the people they loved were safe could they feel assured to do whatever they needed to do. He believed it was the same for Duan Yanhao.

“But, knowing that he’s in danger yet I can’t do anything about it feels worse than death.”

After pausing for a moment, Bai Yaoyao continued seriously, “Young Master Xie, you understand a man’s thoughts, but you don’t understand women. I believe if the same situation happened to you, Bixue will be even more insistent and stubborn than me. Although I was not in the capital for the past six months, I know about the incident in Gui County. She wanted to find you even if it meant risking her life. You might feel reproachful and pained, but you don’t know how she really felt. I think the reason why she fell off the slope was because she couldn’t find you and felt that all hope was lost. At that time, she really wanted to die.”

The moment Bai Yaoyao said that, Xie Limo’s expression paled instantly. The hand he placed on the tabled clenched into a fist, and his expression hardened, as though he was enduring a lot of pain.

“She wanted to die?”

Seeing how much pain Xie Limo was in, Bai Yaoyao felt a little guilty saying that. However, there were some things that she felt she had to say as her best friend.

She knew that if she left this time, there was a possibility that she would die on the battlefield. She could not bear to leave Bixue, and she was worried for her too. Hence, she wanted to say all that she could now. Even if it was cruel, she wanted to remind Xie Limo so that he could have a peace of mind, and in turn, he would have the ability to protect Bixue.

Bai Yaoyao nodded seriously. “Bixue and I played together from a very young age. Being best friends for so many years, I know how she feels. It’s just like how she can read my mind. During that time, Old Master Yun was gone and something happened to you. She was actually at her wits’ end. If she did not find you, I believe she would not have been able to hold out on her own.”

Xie Limo felt as though his heart had been dug out with a knife. It hurt so much. He coughed a few times to suppress his emotions before saying in disappointment, “So I still don’t understand her.”

Bai Yaoyao pursed her lips before saying, “You are already doing very well. You just don’t understand how women think. I just hope that after I leave, you can protect her well and make her happy. I know you can do it, but the thing is, you have to be well and safe first. That’s the only way Bixue can have a source of emotional support.”
