Chapter 54

There was unease in his heart and if he didn’t express it, he could die from anger.

There were not many people outside and nobody would notice them. Xu Zhiyin drew her hand back from his. Every time she was with Ji Liunian alone, she would be extremely nervous. “We have nothing to talk about.”

He was either going to tell her to leave Gu Nantian or suspect she had the intention of remarrying him. She could imagine what he was about to say.

Xu Zhiyin had lost all hope to be reunited with Ji Liunian.

“Come back to me!” Ji Liunian’s voice was heard.

“What joke is this?” Xu Zhiyin raised her head and met his gaze. She saw his serious look and was stunned. She controlled herself. “What do you mean? Are you setting up another trap for me or are you testing me?”

“Come back to me, let’s remarry.”

Since yesterday, this thought had been floating in Ji Liunian’s mind!

Why was Xu Zhiyin with Gu Nantian?

Wasn’t it because he suggested a divorce?

Initially, he thought he didn’t care about her and only treated her as his friend and his little sister but when he saw her with other men, he realized Xu Zhiyin had slowly gone into his life these three years and he had feelings for her.

So, their parents’ suggestion was right. They could see the problem from a deeper perspective than he could. He should not part with Xu Zhiyin. If that was the case, why couldn’t he take this opportunity to ask her to return to his side?

Xu Zhiyin had mixed feelings. She didn’t feel like Ji Liunian was lying but was afraid he was testing her and didn’t know what he was thinking. “Is it because I’m with Gu Nantian that you want to trick me into leaving him? If that’s the case, it’s not necessary! I will not part with Gu Nantian. Never.”

“Zhiyin.” Ji Liunian’s attitude was like his attitude before their divorce. He looked at her seriously. “I mean what I said. I like you and have gotten used to you being my wife. I regret divorcing you. Let’s remarry, alright?”

“You like me?” Xu Zhiyin was surprised. It was something she had waited for more than a decade to hear from him and that moment, her heart was jumping crazily and uncontrollably. However, she couldn’t believe what Ji Liunian had said, “You like me but divorced me for Chuxia’s sake? You like me but made Chuxia pregnant? You like me but blame me when Chuxia had a miscarriage? Even if you want me to leave Gu Nantian, this lie is too obvious! You know I like you. How can you play with my feelings?”

Her feelings toward Ji Liunian had always been genuine but now, Ji Liunian was using it to deceive her.

Her heart was painful to the peak that instant.

Ji Liunian stared at the tears hidden at the bottom of her eyes and hearing her sobbing complaints, he felt a sense of pain in his heart. Had he done so many things to hurt her?

Because of this, his intention to remarry became more intense. “I’ve done many things to hurt you but divorcing you was the decision I regretted most. Moreover, Chuxia’s baby…”

“Liunian!” Ji Liunian was interrupted by someone calling his name.

When Chuxia saw the two of them, she walked over with a smile on her face. “Oh, so both of you are here!”

When she came closer, Xu Zhiyin’s body froze. She controlled the emotions that had welled up by what Ji Liunian said just now and suppressed her love for Ji Liunian. “Your girlfriend is here. I’ll make a move first.”

She felt very uncomfortable being in the same space with Chuxia. Even her breathing was unnatural.

Ji Liunian looked at Xu Zhiyin and wished to stop her but Chuxia seized his hand. She looked at Ji Liunian and asked curiously, “What were you two talking about just now?”

Ji Liunian felt Chuxia shouldn’t appear in front of him now. He had never felt this way before, “Why are you here? You know my parents dislike you.”

She shouldn’t come to his house.

Chuxia smiled. “Why? You don’t wish to see me? I came together with Chuyang. Don’t worry, I can pretend I don’t know you!”

Chuyang was Chuxia’s little brother and the only member of the Xu family who was still willing to accept Chuxia.

The sibling relationship had been good since young.

Chuxia’s voice was gentle. When Ji Liunian saw her gentleness, his heart softened. He looked at her worriedly, “You shouldn’t come here. Have you forgotten the previous incident?”

“I didn’t forget.” That day, after Chuxia went to Xu Zhiyin’s house to announce her relationship with Ji Liunian, his parents had asked her to leave Ji Liunian more than once.

Of course, their requests had all been rejected by her.

“Then, why are you still here? My parents don’t like you. If you provoke them, they could do anything! Could you please not make me worry about you?” Ji Liunian had been scolded several times but he had endured for her sake.

However…

Chuxia was not bothered by this and had always appeared in front of his parents on purpose.

Just like now, after listening to Ji Liunian’s words, she merely smiled. “If this is a test we both have to overcome, I can endure everything! It’s okay for them to scold me. It was me who let you down in the past! For your sake, what’s this little grievance to me?”

Toward the end, there was a sense of unnoticeable coldness in her eyes. If she hadn’t come today, Ji Liunian would have told Xu Zhiyin everything.

Although she didn’t mention it, it didn’t mean she didn’t hear. Ji Liunian had said he wanted to remarry Xu Zhiyin.

This man was thinking of abandoning her!

Ji Liunian looked at Chuxia and didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t bear to part with Chuxia and because of this, he had let the person he should love most slip away.

“Young Master, Madam is looking for you.” The butler came to inform Ji Liunian. When he saw Chuxia, he was stunned.

If Madam were to know of her presence, Madam would be angry.

Ji Liunian replied, “Alright. I’ll go now. Please prepare a car for me.”

He wanted to send Chuxia off first. It was his father’s birthday and he didn’t want to quarrel with his family members for Chuxia’s sake.

The butler left very quickly. Ji Liunian looked at Chuxia. “I’ll get the driver to send you home first.”

When Chuxia heard him, she let go of her hand immediately. “I still have things to do, I don’t wish to go home yet.”

“What do you have to do here?” Ji Liunian looked at her suspiciously. Since she came back from abroad, she had been spending time with him and rarely went out alone.

What important things did she have to deal with in his house?

Chuxia found an excuse. “It’s rare to have a bustling occasion. Can I not stay back to enjoy myself? If I leave, Chuyang will be worried.”
