Mu Xiaoxiao did not want to admit defeat. In a belated attempt to save the situation, she said, âDonât you know that a coupleâs relationship will improve after every fight they have?â
Xichuan Qianling looked astonished, as though this was the first time she had heard such an opinion. âIs that so? But all my friends simply break up after arguing.â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her with fury in her eyes.
She felt that Xichuan Qianlingâs gaze was brimming with malice, as though she was hoping they would break up.
She wanted her and Yin Shaojie to break up? Dream on! Donât even think about it!
A smile played in the corner of Xichuan Qianlingâs lips as she said to Mu Xiaoxiao, âActually, Iâve always felt that couples should never fight. Fights indicate that thereâs some kind of incompatibility and why stay together when youâre incompatible? Right?â
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Why did every word that came out of this womanâs mouth have to be so stinging?
Whether or not she and Yin Shaojie were compatible wasnât something that someone could just determine like that.
âI donât think so. Nobody is perfect. There has to be a breaking-in period when two people get together because no one is born suited to someone else,â Mu Xiaoxiao retorted, staring at her.
Even though Yin Shaojie and her were childhood friends had grown up together, they had a four-year gap in their relationship.
Thus, it was inevitable that they would clash a little. They even got into lots of fights before getting together. She didnât feel like their relationship had deteriorated. Instead, it had strengthened.
Now, they were engaged.
Xichuan Qianling did not expect her to be able to retort with a comeback. She affected a smile of disapproval and said, âReally? I think our views on relationships are different. I will give my all when Iâm in love and treat my partner with absolute frankness. I feel that so long as both people are honest with each other, conflicts will not arise.â
She even cast a look at Yin Shaojie deliberately as she spoke.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was hinting at something with her gaze. She hated that this girl was looking at Yin Shaojie so seductively. A rush of mad jealousy rose within her.
âWho doesnât give it their all when theyâre in love with someone?â she retorted.
If one held back when they were in love, could that still be counted as love?
Xichuan Qianling smiled lightly as though she did not understand her fury. âDonât be angry. My words arenât targeted at you. Iâm only sharing my views on how relationships should be so you donât have to take it personally.â
What did this woman mean by that! Was she trying to insinuate that she was petty?
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs anger rose as she took in her affected manner. This woman was good at what she was doing. She provoked Xiaoxiao with thorny remarks to drive her into a rage.
If she could not hold in her anger and let it show, she would be the unreasonable one in the eyes of others. However, Mu Xiaoxiao was about to go mad from searching for Yin Shaojie for so long. How was she supposed to have any reason left right now?
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart churned bitterly. Waves of plaintiveness rushed up and moisture clouded her eyes.
Yin Shaojie, do you know how much I suffered before I found you?
Do you know how sad and terrified I was along the journey?
Was he just going to watch as she got bullied?
Fatigue enveloped Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart suddenly.
She had felt tense ever since he gave her the cold shoulder. Later, when she found out that she could not contact him, she almost spiraled into a nervous breakdown.
