Chapter 501: Chapter 121: Love and Unlove

Early spring sunlight streamed through the glass window into the room, and facing the sun, she saw a man with an extraordinary aura.

The strong light was so intense that she could not open her eyes, and she could only see the man’s upright figure bathed in the colorful rays of the sun.

He was wearing a light blue shirt, with the buttons at his chest slightly undone.

Gradually, she adjusted to the strong light and saw his face clearly.

With just one glance, she was so astonished that she covered her mouth with her hand and asked timidly, "Are you Quan Shaoqing?"

That face, it was him.

But in an instant, he looked ten years younger, his hair black as ink, tousled and flying. Beneath his smooth forehead, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes shimmering like waves, deep and cold, as if he were the perfect youth from a painting.

Even when he smiled, the angles of his eyes had a chilling coldness that took one’s breath away.

His skin was flawless, nearly identical to hers.

He stood there quietly, his gaze on her, making her feel like she dare not breathe.

He was Quan Shaoqing, but his aura had changed.

It became unfamiliar, powerful, inspiring a shiver within her.

"What, a good sleep and you don’t recognize me?" Quan Shaoqing slightly lifted his head, revealing his elegant neck.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly felt her heart thumping wildly.

Her cheeks flushed imperceptibly, and she hurriedly explained, "No! I just..."

She stuttered for quite a while, not knowing what to say.

"Seeing as she looks fine now, I’ll step out!" Ai Xiang couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

At this moment, Quan Shaoqing’s appearance and aura were like those of a transformed demon.

He could understand Gu Xiaoxi’s reaction.

It was also time to leave them space to talk properly.

After Ai Xiang left.

The room immediately fell into silence.

Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly threw off the covers, wanting to get out of bed and leave the place.

She noticed it was Quan Shaoqing’s room.

She didn’t know how long she had slept.

Just as she was about to get up and leave, he grabbed her wrist.

Gu Xiaoxi was startled.

Her breath caught instantly in her throat.

Quan Shaoqing looked down, his finger gently lifting her chin as he asked casually, "Where were you planning to go?"

His voice, low and husky, enchanting, made one give up all resistance upon hearing it.

"I-I-I... I’m going back to my own room!" Gu Xiaoxi was incoherent. Especially since the man in front of her felt too dangerous.

Yet, there he was with a stern face, making her fearfully wary from within.

If this were the past, she would never be afraid of him.

Quan Shaoqing held her wrist tightly, immobilizing her.

"Isn’t this your room?" Quan Shaoqing encircled her head with his hand.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed a deep red, like a ripe apple, and her heart fluttered in panic, unsure how to respond to him.

This used to be their shared room.

But now it wasn’t.

After the incident with Gu Feng, she had passed out.

She was unclear about many things.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was silent, Quan Shaoqing reached out gently, cradling her face, and asked earnestly, "Do you love me?"

His eyes, like a clear spring, were brimming with unfamiliar and complex expressions.

How should she answer?

Say ’I love you’! And be together?

If his "spell" was still troubling him.

She couldn’t imagine what would happen in the future.

But to say ’I don’t love you’!

She couldn’t bring herself to utter those words.

Just moments ago, she was once again charmed by his handsome appearance; her heart was still beating chaotically.

She looked at him, biting her lip and forcing a smile, "Let me get up. Whatever it is, we can talk it over slowly."

Quan Shaoqing was relentless, but he took her small hand and then placed it on his chest, saying with a light laugh by her ear, "Gu Xiaoxi, feel it, is it cold?"

Gu Xiaoxi’s hand was pulled by him, tightly against his chest.

The next second, her eyes widened in shock, and she tried to pull away her hand.

But he grasped it firmly, pressing it hard against his chest.

"Is it very cold!" Quan Shaoqing was smiling, but his voice was unusually indifferent.

The heart is cold, then how can one love!

Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip, not understanding what he meant.

But Quan Shaoqing suddenly let go of her hand, turned around to face the sunlight, leaving her only his proud and cold back.

"On Naihe Bridge, I saw our past, although we both loved. However, as time passes, people always change. Now your wish has come true, I no longer love you," he said, as he walked to the table by the window, took out a blue booklet, and threw it in front of Gu Xiaoxi.

"You can go now! Considering our past, I’ll give you one more sum of money."

Gu Xiaoxi stared at the green booklet in front of her, on which were written three golden characters that screamed out ’divorce certificate’.

The glaring color made her unable to react for a moment.

"Heart gone cold? What do you mean by not loving anymore after the heart has gone cold? I just want to hear you clearly explain, what happened?" Gu Xiaoxi’s fingers trembled slightly as she picked up the divorce certificate that was left on the bed and looked up at Quan Shaoqing.

"To prevent the Love-Forbidding Curse from acting up again, I have prepared to leave you, to forget you. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways, without any further entanglement," Quan Shaoqing said, word by word.

Gu Xiaoxi took in every word with her ears.

His words were not wrong.

He knew about the past, so, he did not hold against her all those hurtful words she had said.

But at this moment, he was ready to give up.

So, he was not at fault.

This had always been her wish.

If he didn’t love her, there would be no danger to his life.

Gu Xiaoxi picked up the divorce certificate and hurriedly got out of bed.

She strode toward the door, and before leaving, she turned to look at Quan Shaoqing’s aloof back and said, "You’re finally willing to let go. Didn’t you ask if I loved you? Now I’ll tell you clearly, I don’t love you either."

With that, she pushed the door open and left.

She didn’t know what expression she used to say those words to Quan Shaoqing.

Anyway, she felt a pain she had never felt before.

It was as if two ribs had been violently extracted from her.

She didn’t even put on her shoes as she ran downstairs.

At the doorway, she bumped into Ai Xiang.

Ai Xiang looked at Gu Xiaoxi’s pale cheeks, puzzled, and asked, "What’s wrong? Just woke up and you’re running out without shoes?"

Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip, feeling a sourness in her nose, yet she still managed a weak smile and said, "From now on, you won’t have to worry about his illness anymore."

Saying so, she ran out of the villa like she was flying.

Standing at the villa’s entrance, Gu Xiaoxi looked at the peach blossoms in Jinhua Garden.

The blooming season was over, the petals were falling, blanketing the entire pathway.

Gu Xiaoxi, wearing her nightgown and barefooted, stepped on the fallen peach blossoms, one step at a time, walking out of Jinhua Garden.

Quan Shaoqing stood at the window, watching in his field of view as Gu Xiaoxi’s figure got farther and farther away amidst the drifting petals, her trailing gown already icy cold.

In a place he couldn’t see, tears were shed on this path.

Gu Xiaoxi still remembered the first time he brought her here.

He said: "He will take care of her for a lifetime, spoil her, and not let others bully her."

He said: "Follow him, and you can become a pillar of the nation."

He said: "I love you! Will you marry me?"

Until today.

He said: "I do not love you anymore!"

The stars have shifted.

In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have experienced the highs and lows of love.

Until this very moment, she realized how painful and devastating it is to reject someone you like.

No wonder, when she said it to Quan Shaoqing, he was furiously enraged.

...

Having left Jinhua Garden and standing at the gate of the big iron door.

Uncle Zhou delivered a blank check, signed by Quan Shaoqing, but without any amount written on it.

"Madam, ever since the young master returned this time, he has changed. Become very cold, you shouldn’t blame him. Take this check, in case you need it, it may help."

Gu Xiaoxi, with her head down, knew that he must be watching from behind. So, she took it from Uncle Zhou’s hands and left without looking back.

With this, they could settle things between them!

...

Ai Xiang stood behind Quan Shaoqing, puzzled, and said, "What are you doing? Everything was fine, why are you getting divorced again?"

"I do not like her anymore," Quan Shaoqing pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, picked up the military cap from the table, and strode out of the room.

Ai Xiang didn’t believe his lies one bit, "The Love-Forbidding Curse hasn’t been lifted, and now that you remember the past, how could you possibly stop liking her by just saying it? Tell me, are you plotting something big again? The Nascent Soul has just escaped, it won’t act rashly for the time being. This spell, we’ll think of another way!"
