It was Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi!
She was very familiar with how Han Yifeng looked. With just the lateral view of his face, she could accurately recognize him.
The girl beside him, who wore a pair of sunglasses and dressed in a light blue spring outfit with an elegant light cotton scarf, was no doubt Xi Xinyi.
They seemed to be picking out wedding dresses. Xi Xinyi looked on delightedly at the wedding dresses on the mannequins through the store windows. She picked up the hem of a gown with one hand, her bright and animated face brimming with a sweet smile.
While Han Yifeng beside her looked on dotingly, his eyes were filled with a tenderness that Xi Xiaye had never seen before as he watched Xi Xinyi choose her wedding dress.
She could not help but admit that seeing them standing there by the display window, she did feel that they were a solid match. The smiles that were splashed across their faces made her inevitably feel upset again.
Although the distance between them was just a thin and transparent display window, they still seemed like they were so very far away from her.
She had never dared to wish for anything she did not work hard to earn because she cared and desired it, so she would never mind how much effort she had to put in. As long as she could fight for it with hard work, she was willing to give it her all.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she still could not move Han Yifeng or force him to fall in love with her even if she had been quietly fighting for it, giving it her all as the identity of his fiancè…
Yes, a relationship could never be one-sided.
She sighed with disappointment, gently closed her eyes, and then opened them. Trying hard to push the bitterness in her chest down, she turned her head away and did not want to think about it or look at them anymore.
Mu Yuchen who was pulling her up front had acutely noticed that her mood had experienced a sudden change. The hand that he held had suddenly become cold, so he then turned to look at her just in time to see the way her eyes dimmed and how she turned her head away.
His eyes shifted and he quickly noticed the couple that was smiling happily at the display window Instantly, he frowned as he thought about it. Then, he suddenly reached out to hold Xi Xiaye across her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. His perceptive and low voice slowly brushed past Xi Xiaye’s ears. “Enough! With the way you’re behaving right now, aren’t you worried that my heart won’t be at ease?!”
The sudden sturdy warmth startled Xi Xiaye. After quite a while, she came to her senses. With his long arms domineeringly pulling her into his embrace, he looked down at her with reproach and disagreement. Of course, there were vague hints of pity too…
The sound of that soft reprimand sounded very tender and sensitive. On the contrary, it did not seem like he was chiding her.
Xi Xiaye inhaled sharply, feeling a little upset. However, upon hearing the way he spoke so sensitively, she suddenly became weak and her raspy voice sounded a little gloomy when she answered, “I don’t care whether you’re at ease or not. The point is I’m not at ease right now.”
Mu Yuchen looked at how her twinkling eyes had dimmed. After he gave it some thought, he said, “You should be happy. If that didn’t happen, how could you’ve met someone as excellent as me? I, Mu Yuchen, am way better than Han Yifeng! You’ve thrown a sesame seed away and picked up a watermelon! It’s a good thing you can’t even pray for even if you burnt incense for eight life cycles.”
Xi Xiaye was initially quite upset, but hearing him say all of this…
She really could not help but roll her eyes at this man whose confidence was off the charts. “Even if he was just a sesame seed, are you really a watermelon?”
“Am I not? Even among City Z’s most eligible bachelor ranks, he seems to be all the way at the back. Even though I’m also off the ranks now, before him there was still Su Chen and Zhou Zimo, pushing him down until he couldn’t move at all.”
The man shot Han Yifeng a look of disdain through the display window, his nonchalant gaze as icy as the wind.
Xi Xiaye could not help but look at him with amusement as she smiled. “Mu Yuchen, just the way you look right now, my mind can only think of a term.”
“What’s it?” Mu Yuchen asked as he held her and walked unhurriedly forward.
“You’re eating vinegar [1]!” Xi Xiaye answered mischievously.
“Vinegar? What brand?” He asked.
“Then, you tell me first. Earlier, you said you were a watermelon. What brand of watermelon are you? Hey, Mu Yuchen, are you really better than him?”
“Mmm.”
“Can you prove that?”
“Milady, you’ll have to slowly see it for yourself.”
…
“Yifeng, what are you looking at?”
Inside the bridal house, in the midst of admiring the gowns on display, Xi Xinyi saw that Han Yifeng was frowning as he looked out the display window, so she could not help but ask and look up at the same time, following Han Yifeng’s gaze.
What greeted her eyes was —
The instant that Mu Yuchen lightly embraced Xi Xiaye and was turning to walk away!
“It’s Sister!”
Xi Xiaye widened her eyes. Her face that hid underneath the sunglasses had instantly turned rigid before she subconsciously took off her sunglasses. Her gaze showed a mix of emotions as she watched Han Yifeng who was frozen in a daze.
Quite a while after that, she suddenly pulled at Han Yifeng and bit her plump, scarlet lips. She could not help but say with concern, “Yifeng, was it Sister? It’s definitely her, isn’t it? She… Who’s that walking with her? Did you take a good look?”
When he noticed that Xi Xinyi was pulling at his sleeves, Han Yifeng snapped back to reality. His cold face seemed to have turned weird.
He was very sure that when Xi Xiaye turned, she had seen him, but her gaze had turned distant and apathetic…
As if, like she said, from that day onwards, they would pretend to be strangers who had never met before.
This feeling…
Did not seem to be as comforting as he had imagined it would be!
He did not get a good look of the man who had embraced her as they walked away. However, seeing that man’s figure, it had unexpectedly stifled him for some reason…
“Yifeng!” Beside him, Xi Xinyi could not help but call out for him again.
Now, Han Yifeng shook his head as he looked at Xinyi and asked softly, “No, I just noticed when they were about to leave. Didn’t Grandmother say that she’ll arrange something for her?”
He knew that he owed Xi Xiaye, so he wanted to compensate her. He knew that her grandmother, Deng Wenwen had planned to find her a suitable partner. In his heart, he had also been wishing for the matchmaking to work out—
At least, that way it could perhaps reduce the guilt he felt for her.
“But there’s no way that that was Qi Lei! No, I must go over to take a look. I’m really worried about her. The last time when I sent her the invitation, I just knew that she’d be very upset, Yifeng, I…” Xi Xinyi spoke as she suddenly choked on her emotions. She could not help but cover her face and run out in the direction that Xi Xiaye had just left!
