He Xiyan parked her car at the nearby car park.
She was a little confused but she still got off the car because she guessed that Lin Ziya must have had a reason for looking for her and she knew it was probably related to Jiahang.
She wanted to know whether Jiahang was doing well but she couldnât be the first one to reach out to him.
They came to a nearby park and sat down on a park bench.
Lin Ziya was wearing a white lace dress paired with black heels. She looked as beautiful and as elegant as the last time they met. Her exquisite features were completely devoid of wrinkles and her skin was fair and taut. She didnât look like a woman who was almost thirty.
He Xiyan was surprised that Lin Ziya would look for her and asked the moment she sat down, âWhy were you looking for me?â
She didnât think that they had anything to say to each other since it was more than 3 months since she broke up with Jiahang. She had not contacted Jiahang since they broke up.
Lin Ziya gave her a small smile but there was a bitterness in her smile.
She thought for a moment before she said, âDid you know that Shaoqian has bought a house at Ye City that he is currently renovating because he intends to settle down with you here?â
He Xiyan was speechless.
She froze in shock and her heart dropped at Lin Ziyaâs words.
Her eyes widened in surprise and her shock and confusion were clearly reflected in her eyes.
âYou must be surprised,â Lin Ziya said with a wry smile. Then, she suddenly heaved a long sigh and said, âHe Xiyan, I donât understand what Shaoqian sees in you and why he canât let you go. Youâre a heartless woman who easily lets go of a relationship at the drop of a hat without even turning back.â
Lin Ziya felt as though something sharp had pierced her heart. She didnât want to admit defeat, especially to a woman who was twice-divorced with two children in tow.
She couldnât tell what was so great about He Xiyan. She was of average looks and wasnât very talented either but for some reason, Shaoqian was completely devoted to her.
He Xiyan bit her lips and she didnât know what to think of Jiahangâs actions.
She couldnât believe that he would⦠how could he even think that settling down at Ye City was a good idea? Was he insane?
âThat wasnât what I wanted him to do,â she said as she looked at Lin Ziya.
She didnât plan on contacting Jiahang again and even after they broke up, she refrained from contacting him despite missing him so badly. She wanted him to start life anew and forget about her.
Lin Ziya pursed her lips into a bitter smile.
âYet, your actions led to him doing all these for you, He Xiyanâ¦â Lin Ziya closed her eyes in anguish and when she opened her eyes, her eyes were wet with tears.
She turned to look at He Xiyan and her voice was very hoarse as she said, âYou should go visit Shaoqian and give him an explanation. He has already done so much for you, so you canât treat him so coldly.â
He Xiyan didnât know what to say.
She looked down and she felt even more conflicted and upset.
âLin Ziya, I wanted toâ¦â she said.
âYou wanted Shaoqian to get back together with me?â Lin Ziya interrupted. She smiled ironically and she thought that she had been such a fool because she assumed that Shaoqian would come back to her side once He Xiyan left his side and would fulfill the promise he once made and take her as his bride.
However, Shaoqian did not return to her side. Instead, she watched as he helped her obtain custody of her two children and defied his parents in order to be with her.
