Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 363: Misunderstanding

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Misunderstanding

The sound of a woman’s voice rang out, prompting many male guests in the main hall to turn their heads.

Hexiu didn’t react to the glances of others, but headed straight towards the table where Shen Yuntian was sitting.

Upon seeing the flushed face of Shen Yuntian and the approaching figure of Hexiu, Twelve immediately understood.

No wonder Brother Yuntian had inquired about his relationship with Miaomiao, it turns out he’s encountered his own love interest too!

"Brother Shen."

Hexiu jogged over, but instead of sitting right next to Shen Yuntian, she chose a bench facing outward.

"You, how did you come here." The heat rose in Shen Yuntian’s face, avoiding direct eye contact with Hexiu.

Ever since this young lady revealed her feelings to him, Shen Yuntian had deliberately been avoiding her.

After all, he felt it wasn’t appropriate to discuss marriage when his family was still missing.

Besides.

And considering his current situation, he didn’t wish to impede on her life.

"May I know who this gentleman is?"

Seeing Shen Yuntian was ignoring her, Hexiu didn’t get angry. She just smiled at Twelve and asked about his identity.

"My name is Twelve, I’m Brother Yuntian’s friend." Twelve answered politely, not ignoring her.

Although Hexiu was a resident of Yan City, she had served the Zeng Family’s young lady in the residence for many years, and even though Twelve had been in Yan City for more than a year, he had never heard of her.

"My name is Hexiu, Brother Shen’s fiancée." Hexiu was not shy, stating bluntly her identity.

Seeing her boldness, Shen Yuntian’s face reddened even more, blushing from his cheeks to his ears.

"You, don’t talk nonsense."

He softly protested.

"But it’s true, Brother Shen can’t go back on his words!"

Hexiu opened her eyes wide, her small face full of accusations.

Although she was not extremely beautiful, she had elegant features.

Hexiu, serving by the side of Miss Zeng, rarely did heavy labor, combined with the decent treatment from the Zeng family, she looked prettier than an average civilian’s daughter.

"I, I never said that." Shen Yuntian stuttered, only managing to say that sentence after a long silence.

Upon hearing his words, Hexiu looked aggrieved, and tears were about to fall.

Twelve felt awkward due to their exchange, he silently sat by and watched the drama unfold without interrupting.

"You are a grown man, how can you, how can you just deny knowing someone!"

Hexiu spoke with grief, her voice quivering as if she was about to cry.

The commotion here was not too large, but many male guests had started looking over from the moment Hexiu entered, now seeing that she was about to cry, one of them spoke up.

"Brother, it’s not moral for you to treat a weak woman like this!" The man who spoke up was in his twenties, he had a face full of pockmarks and from the flush of his face, it was clear he was drunk.

"Sir, you’re mistaken, it’s all a misunderstanding."

Shen Yuntian defended himself, but dared not turn his head to look at Hexiu.

The young lady’s eyes turned redder, and two teardrops splashed on the table.

The drops of tears made just a flicker of sound when they hit the table, but they made Shen Yuntian’s heart tremble.

He remembered.

But he didn’t want to hold her back.

Hexiu had come over the night before yesterday.

It was a rainy day, and the restaurant didn’t have many customers, only two tables.

Sister Nanzhi had let the wait staff relax and take a break.

Uncle Xu cooked a few dishes, they had a few drinks, and that was when Hexiu came to the restaurant.

He still remembered he was slightly drunk that day, his vision foggy as he saw a figure.

Then that person wiped his face and fed him the soup to sober him up.

He wasn’t so drunk as to forget everything, he recalled his heartfelt words he had spoken at that time.

He said.

Hexiu, my appearance is flawed, and I have no special talents, I can’t provide you with happiness.

That day Hexiu was wearing a jade green dress, he remembered her appearance.

He remembered the smile on her face, but the words she said were extraordinarily firm.

She said.

Brother Shen, I don’t think your appearance is flawed, I just think you are dependable, I am willing to be with you.

But now he has no parents, and he doesn’t know where his elder brother and sister-in-law are.

He will eventually leave Yan City.

He still remembers that night in the rain, with raindrops tapping on the tiles, but she caressed his face and said, she was willing to follow him, leave Yan City, and search for his family.

"Miss Hexiu, you should go home, it’s late." Shen Yuntian said in a low voice, his hands under the table were already tightly clenched.

When Shen Miaomiao came out with two dishes, she saw this scene.

The main hall was quiet, and everyone turned their heads, looking at their table.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Hexiu’s voice choked up, clutching her sleeves.

The other night, he had clearly agreed, he had clearly said yes.

She asked the lady of the house yesterday, the lady of the house is kind, the young lady is also happy for her, and gave her the freedom-serving deed.

She wanted to share this news with him when she came to find him yesterday night.

She is now a free person, she can, she can go with him to find his family.

She lost her parents when she was young, and was brought up by her aunt’s family until she was ten, and then she was sold to the Zeng family.

Over the years, she has saved twenty taels of silver, she won’t hold him back.

But Shen Yuntian was not there when she came last night, so she came to find him today.

As it turns out, everything was a lie.

"Miss Hexiu should go home early." It’s a lie that Shen Yuntian wasn’t heartbroken.

He admits that he had never met a girl like Hexiu.

He liked her too, but ultimately he was unworthy of her.

It’s better to have a short pain than a long pain, to clear things up once and for all, and to avoid future troubles.

"Fine, I’m the one who was wishful thinking."

Hexiu wiped away her tears, turned and left.

On her way out, she softly apologized to Shen Miaomiao and hurriedly left.

"What just happened?" Shen Miaomiao was bewildered.

She remembered that Hexiu had been laughing when she came over yesterday, telling her that Hexiu became a free person and could marry Shen yesterday. Why... why would she leave crying today?

"Did your brother break that girl’s heart?"

Another male customer watching the commotion made tsk-tsk sounds and shook his head.

These days, it’s not easy to have a girl take the initiative, but Shen refused.

"Brother Yuntian?" Shen Miaomiao had a premonition that something had happened, quickly put the dishes on the table, and started asking.

"What happened to Miss Hexiu? What happened to you guys?"

Twelve wanted to say something, but when he caught Shen Yuntian’s eye, he decisively shut up and obediently sat on the side.

"It was just a misunderstanding, she won’t come in the future." After Shen Yuntian finished speaking, he got up to go to the kitchen, leaving only Twelve and Shen Miaomiao at the table.

"But Hexiu is a free person now!" Shen Miaomiao was annoyed by Shen YunTian’s words, she didn’t hide it anymore.

"The day before yesterday after you agreed to Hexiu, she went to find Lady Zeng. When she came to tell you this news yesterday, you weren’t here. She asked me to keep it a secret and wanted to tell you the news in person!"

When Shen Miaomiao blurted it out, Shen Yuntian paused, but he still didn’t turn back. He went back to the kitchen alone.

The customers in the main hall sighed when they heard their words and continued to eat.

Only Aze, watching Shen Yuntian’s retreating figure, followed him.
