Chapter 473: Chapter 479 Anxiety Over Gain and Loss (1)

Yet, to her surprise, Yu Zexiao stared with wide eyes and, without saying another word, headed for the door, no longer paying any attention to his mother’s scolding!

"Hey, you little brat, did you hear me? Speak properly! Bring Anning back to me!"

Yu Zexiao, however, walked swiftly as if he were a gust of wind, also ignoring his mother’s words, and left by slamming the door behind him.

-------------------------------

Arriving at the bottom of the hotel, Jian Anning hailed a taxi, and when the driver asked her, "Miss, where would you like to go?"

Where would she like to go? She was momentarily at a loss. It was a brand-new land for her. Although, both her parents were from Huaxia Country, from Shangcheng, her roots lay here. Nevertheless, to her, everything here was novel.

"Let’s go... to Houhu then." After some thought, she finally came up with a place name—that was where her father had lived near when he was young. Located right at the heart of the old town in Shangcheng, traditional white walls and black tiles surrounded a pond with dots of verdure, and the shade of green trees lent a unique charm.

Even after they had settled in Vancouver, where the climate was humid and the environment pleasant, whenever he spoke of his hometown’s willows, mentioned the glimmering waves of the hometown lake, the wanderer in a foreign land, even if thousands of miles away, was still full of deep affection.

At that moment, strolling on the moss-covered green bricks, wandering through the quaint streets and lanes, she remembered the many hometown anecdotes her father had shared with her ever since she was sensible. She could almost name these ancient buildings with her eyes closed.

To the south in Royal Mansion, atop the rocky mountain, there was a mountain god temple without a mountain god, but plenty of rats instead.

The western pond of Houhu was said to be home to a carp spirit that could transform into a beautiful woman on full moon nights to seduce men. In reality, though, there were plenty of wild ducks, and any carp spirit would have long been eaten.

Moreover, spanning the lakes from east to west stood Sansheng Bridge, legend has it that men and women who met on this bridge were fated to share a bond spanning three lifetimes...

Near the lakeside, under the drooping willows, Yiyi, there were street vendors selling sugar figurines, quietly resting under the shade of the trees, not hawking their goods, yet there were always children with a sweet tooth, tugging at their mothers’ sleeves, gathering around the stalls in anticipation of treats.

Not far off, the bar was quiet as night had yet to fall, with the warm afternoon sun shining down, peace prevailed as if in another world.

Everything, just as her father had described: In the distance, the silhouette of the palace was faintly visible atop the lush trees, truly a beautiful sight.

As she walked on, strolling onto Sansheng Bridge, gazing at the pool of clear blue waves, without realizing it, the small shadow in her heart began to dissipate slowly.

The corners of her mouth gently curled into a smile. Yes, indeed, she had never thought that she would have any future with Yu Zexiao.

Originally, she and Yu Zexiao, were like two tangled chords. A single careless strum produced a disharmonious note, and then all was silent, leaving no trace whatsoever.

How laughable was she to have thought that Yu Zexiao had even a trace of affection for her. Little did she know that Yu Zexiao had never changed his attitude—he had always been aloof, never sharing a slither of his love with anyone. The only reason he had been entangled with her in the past was not that he was fond of her, but simply because he wanted to sleep with her!
