“Sister, tell me what happened first!” “I… I…” Xinluo couldn’t stop crying, looking miserable. “Don’t rush, sit down and talk slowly,” Xinmei pulled her to sit down, “Look at you, your makeup is smeared, your hair is messy, you didn’t come back like this the whole way, did you?” Sniffling, Xinluo nodded. “Take a deep breath, calm down, and then slowly tell me what happened.” Xinluo raised her pitiful little face, her eyes blurry with tears. “I broke up with Erxi… and I was the one who brought it up.” “Why?” Hearing this, Xinmei almost jumped up, normally reluctant to advise her sister to break up, but now breaking up right after having a child – what was going on? “Because… because…” “Because he won’t take responsibility, right?” Without letting her finish, Xinmei was already gnashing her teeth, “I knew he wasn’t a good person!” “Xinmei… it’s not like that, I haven’t said anything yet,” Xinluo shook her head, “He doesn’t know yet.” “Doesn’t know?” Xinmei was stunned, “Doesn’t know, so why break up?” Now was not the time to be angry. She was still pregnant with his child! If she wanted to break up, why not do it earlier? Actually, she should have broken up on the first day of their relationship. In any case, her evaluation of Xia Erxi was very poor! She thought he had been bullying Xinluo.
“Something happened today that made me suddenly see everything clearly. I realized that I thought I was awake, but in fact, I was not.” Xinluo smiled bitterly. She had always thought she wanted nothing from Xia Erxi, but in fact, she was deeply mistaken. Deep down, she still hoped that one day he would fall in love with her. This—was the most selfish part. “Sister…” Was Xinluo ever truly awake? She never thought so, believing that Xinluo had lost her mind from the day she fell in love with Xia Erxi.
“So… I didn’t tell him about my pregnancy because it no longer matters whether he knows or not. From now on, I no longer need him. Without him, I can still raise my baby.” Perha
“Sister, have you decided to keep the baby?” Xinmei frowned, “Being an unwed mother is very difficult. You need to be mentally prepared.” And the most challenging part would probably be facing her father! She wondered if their legs would be broken?
“Yes,” Xinluo placed her hand on her belly, “I have already decided.”
Her heart was still aching, especially with Xia Erxi’s final goodbye. Every time she remembered it, her heart felt like it was being torn open and bleeding again. But she had figured it out—even without Xia Erxi, she could still live well… and perhaps even better than when he was by her side.
Whispers “The CEO Wants to Play Games” Chapter 9
“Young Master Summer, CEO Summer, Dear Summer Student,” Bai Chenghai was already yawning repeatedly, even smoking couldn’t lift his spirits as he helplessly leaned against the bar counter, “You summoned me here like the Supreme Celestial Emperor’s urgent decree, so you should tell me what’s happening, right?”
“…”
Still wearing a cold face that could frost over, Xia Erxi remained silent.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been kicked out by the talented Miss Qi again, and that’s why you want me to accompany you?”
“…”
Giving him a cold glance, Xia Erxi placed the billiard cue aside and walked directly to the bar to pour himself a whiskey on the rocks.
Huh? Something’s wrong! Xia Erxi’s reaction was unusually cold and somewhat strange.
“What happened between you and the talented Miss Qi?” Bai Chenghai asked perceptively.
“You guess,” Xia Erxi gave him a sideways glance with the same icy tone.
Another guessing game? How unlucky could he be? Always having to answer his own questions.
“Because you smell of another woman, so the talented Miss Qi kicked you out again.” Bai Chenghai guessed casually, as he usually did, with about 80-90% accuracy.
“Wrong!” Without even looking at him, Xia Erxi’s gaze fell on the golden liquid in his glass.
“Wrong?” Bai Chenghai looked surprised, “I guessed incorrectly?”
How could that be?
“Yes, completely wrong!” Since breaking up with Lan Zhenyun, he hadn’t been looking for a new love.
“The reason for your bad mood is still related to Miss Qi, right?”
“Bai Chenghai asked uncertainly once again. ‘Hmm.’ ‘The great talented lady… the great talented lady…’ Bai Chenghai racked his brains. Although he wasn’t familiar with her, he had heard some things about her during his studies, and Xia Erxi had mentioned her occasionally over the years, so she wasn’t entirely unfamiliar. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what the great talented lady could have done to make Xia Erxi so unhappy. Could it be that she found a new love? No! Bai Chenghai immediately dismissed this ridiculous thought. The great talented lady was so devoted that she was almost worthy of a chastity memorial arch, let alone finding a new love.
‘Can’t guess?’ Xia Erxi suddenly sneered.
‘Why don’t you just tell me!’ Why was he laughing like that? It sent chills down his spine.
‘Just a short while ago, I broke up with Xinluo.’ Xia Erxi stated the fact calmly, raising an eyebrow at him.
‘You broke up with the great talented lady?’ Bai Chenghai was shocked, ‘You actually broke up with the great talented lady?’ She had been loyal to him for eight years, and he actually broke up with her! Although they were brothers and close friends, he couldn’t help but criticize Xia Erxi on behalf of the great talented lady – what an heartless guy!
‘Hmm.’ With complex thoughts hidden in his dark eyes that only he knew, Xia Erxi nodded.
‘Don’t you feel soft-hearted or reluctant?’ Pacing anxiously around the billiard table, Bai Chenghai kept shaking his head, ‘The great talented lady!’ What a waste! It’s truly a waste!”
Casting a cold glance at Bai Chenghai, who was more excited than himself, Xia Er Xi’s thin li
“Not you?” Upon hearing this, Bai Chenghai was shocked for the second time, “Could it be the talented Qi?”
“Hmm.”
“I see!” Finally stopping his steps, Bai Chenghai muttered thoughtfully, “Has she already reached her limit and can’t bear it anymore? After so many years, it must have been difficult for her.”
“What are you mumbling about by yourself?” Xia Er Xi asked coldly.
“Nothing, just some feelings in my heart,” Bai Chenghai shook his head and sat down beside him.
He believed that all outsiders could see how hard the talented Qi loved him. This might not be a bad thing; perhaps for her, it was a kind of liberation.
“Er Xi, what do you think? Will you feel regret?” he asked.
If he didn’t even feel regret, he would truly feel that the talented Qi was not worth it.
“Me? I can’t describe what I’m feeling,” Xia Er Xi drank the entire glass of wine, his thick eyebrows furrowing deeply.
He had thoughts of wanting to keep her, but her heartbroken appearance was deeply etched in his mind, as if accusing him of how deeply he had hurt her, preventing him from saying even half a word to retain her.
“The talented Qi is a good woman. You should feel regret,” Bai Chenghai said with some earnestness.
“…” Xia Er Xi said nothing, only pouring himself another glass of wine.
Over the years, he was accustomed to her quietly waiting behind him, though she was stubborn and not particularly lovable, he always believed she would never leave him. But she left, and in such a decisive way – causing him to momentarily lose his soul, with his entire being and heart becoming empty, as if something very important was missing.
“Erxi, stop thinking about it and relax a bit,” Bai Chenghai pushed him.
Looking at his appearance, it represented that he wasn’t completely indifferent to Xinluo, but as long as his unstable nature remained unchanged, Xinluo would not be happy with him.
“…” He glanced at him, and Xia Erxi’s deeply furrowed brow never loosened.
