Chapter 1276 - 1273: Openly Become My Wife
Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but open the bedroom door and saw Zi Yunsui and Ye Xiangxue talking outside. The sound of the door opening caught their attention, and Zi Yunsui glanced over to see Hua Xiaomo, who was already washed and dressed in a light blue dress, standing at the door looking refreshed. Zi Yunsui smiled at her and walked over.
"Hua Xiaomo, you’re awake." Zi Yunsui greeted her, then stretched out his hand to brush her cheek, looking at the beauty with deep affection.
Ye Xiangxue showed no discomfort, calmly watching them.
"Hmm. Zi Yunsui, I thought... you would leave without a word..." Hua Xiaomo said softly.
"Ah... leave without a word, hehe, why would I leave without a word..." Zi Yunsui asked with a smile, a sly look flashing in his eyes, gently holding her shoulder, and said seriously, "I want you to become my wife openly and honorably."
"Ah?!" Hua Xiaomo was shocked upon hearing this and raised her beautiful eyes to look at him, slightly doubtful.
"We will leave here immediately and go to the Maldives for a wedding trip." Zi Yunsui said solemnly. Then he held her slender fingers tightly in his hand.
"Zi Yunsui..." Hua Xiaomo was at a loss for words, her heart beginning to race again.
"What, you don’t want to?" Zi Yunsui asked immediately, his handsome face reflecting a mystical glow.
"No, it’s not that. I’m worried about you, I’m afraid Qi Longbing might harm you." Hua Xiaomo explained, unable to hide the worry in her brown eyes.
Zi Yunsui then gathered her body closer.
"Don’t worry, silly, we’ll be fine. As long as you’re by my side, I’m not afraid of anything. Once you marry me, Qi Longbing will give up too. Besides, he has no reason to bother you anymore. I’ll ensure he gives you back your freedom and happiness." Zi Yunsui said, fondly brushing her hair. He then looked at Ye Xiangxue and slowly said, "Ye Xiangxue, I’ll leave things here to you, and I’ll also rely on you for the matters in City A."
Ye Xiangxue smiled faintly on his delicate face.
"Hmm, don’t worry, go enjoy your vacation. I’ll take care of everything, and in City A, I’ll arrange to get those shares." Ye Xiangxue said, stepping closer to them, glancing at Hua Xiaomo, and finally resting his eyes on Zi Yunsui, and calmly said, "Behind City C District Fushan, a military helicopter is already waiting there, Zi Yunsui, Miss Hua, you should go now."
Zi Yunsui nodded, then held Hua Xiaomo and went back to the room, taking out a ready-packed suitcase from the cabinet.
"Oh, my bag..." Hua Xiaomo suddenly realized she hadn’t seen her bag. It contained her documents and passport. But it turned out they wouldn’t need the passport since they weren’t taking a flight but a private plane, which saved quite a bit of trouble.
"Everything’s here. Hehe." Zi Yunsui rubbed her hair, glancing at the suitcase in his hand.
"Oh, so you had planned it all along." Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but smile, feeling warmth from Zi Yunsui’s attentiveness and care. She affectionately took his arm, and they walked out of the room together.
Ye Xiangxue escorted them downstairs, and it wasn’t until Ye Xiangxue took Zi Yunsui’s keys and drove out a snow-blue Rolls-Royce Phantom from the garage that Hua Xiaomo shyly confessed yesterday’s embarrassing incident.
"Ye Xiangxue, you must be wondering how I got into the villa after running away from the wedding yesterday?" Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but ask.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ye Xiangxue paused for a moment, thinking.
"The gate was open before I arrived yesterday, that’s because I forgot to close it the night before, Miss Hua must have slipped in before I came the next day, right?" Ye Xiangxue replied calmly.
Zi Yunsui listened from the side and did not intervene. He had briefly heard from Ye Xiangxue about Qi Longbing barging into the ’Wanhao Century’ villa the morning before.
"Yes, I got in at that time. After seeing you arrive, I hid temporarily because I was a bit worried at that moment..." Hua Xiaomo said up to this point, then gave a subtle smile to the handsome man beside her, realizing all her worries were unnecessary. Having Zi Yunsui was the happiest thing in her life. Thinking of this, happiness and sweetness filled Hua Xiaomo’s heart, and she continued, "Finally, afraid you’d find me, I hid in this garage, using the car body as cover, until Qi Longbing and his men left, and that’s when I sneaked upstairs."
"..." Ye Xiangxue said nothing, pretending as if nothing happened on the surface, but there was still worry. Both the scheme to drug Zi Yunsui and forcing Hua Xiaomo to marry Qi Longbing were his own plans, yet despite his best calculations, he hadn’t anticipated Hua Xiaomo’s boldness to escape the wedding and her courage...
Now that things were exposed, although Zi Yunsui never mentioned it, inside, did he already resent or hate him...
Ye Xiangxue felt a trace of unrest; the more Zi Yunsui kept silent, the more uneasy he felt. Clouded by concern, his delicate face was also shrouded in gloom.
After a while, he didn’t rush to drive the car but sat in silence for a bit. The two in the back didn’t urge him. The atmosphere felt momentarily awkward.
Finally, unable to bear the repressive feelings and guilt,
"Zi Yunsui... I’m sorry... it was my mistake..." Ye Xiangxue apologized sincerely, turning his face slightly towards Zi Yunsui with anxiety showing on his gloomy face, and slowly said, "Are you mad at me, do you hate me?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yunsui was slightly moved. Truth be told, his actions nearly caused a huge mistake!! But, after all, he was a brother who had been through life and death with him, who had been with him countless nights, sharing hardships and toil... To talk about resentment is more aptly described as heartache...
But now, with the beautiful flower at his side, safe and sound, all grievances and hatred could turn to harmony...
With this thought in mind, a gentle smile appeared on Zi Yunsui’s face. Slightly leaning forward, he reached out and patted Ye Xiangxue’s shoulder.
"Ye Xiangxue, what’s done is done, don’t dwell on it. These things... I don’t have many thoughts, no grievances or hatred, you’re my brother, always a good brother to Zi Yunsui." Zi Yunsui spoke with a calm but sincere tone, words that touched the heart profoundly.
"Hmm... thank you, thank you, Zi Yunsui." Ye Xiangxue said emotionally, a wave of strength and trust transferred from the arm, making his heart beat uncontrollably. The shadows on his delicate face began to disperse.
"Alright, it’s getting late, drive now, Ye Xiangxue." Zi Yunsui smiled slightly. Then he withdrew his arm and wrapped it around Hua Xiaomo’s waist.
