Chapter 1371: 1371, looking for Qinghe again.

If I had known upon first arriving in ancient times, I would have sought methods to practice internal strength.

But back then, with a heart as still as water and even basic sustenance unmet, how could I have the inclination to think of anything else?

Now it’s different.

As a wealthy merchant, I can finally pursue other endeavors.

Following the martial arts secrets manual I purchased, I’ve almost fully mastered the contents.

At night, Tao Meijiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

She got up and walked into the yard, casting a glance at Xiao Yishan’s room.

Knowing she shouldn’t, yet she still walked toward Yi Garden.

Even though she had been dishonored, she had made up her mind not to have anything to do with Xiao Qinghe any longer, but stillaEUR| she couldn’t let go.

At the very least, she wanted to know his stance.

She had thought by this hour, Xiao Qinghe would have gone to sleep.

Entering Yi Garden, she saw Xiao Qinghe sitting alone in his wheelchair under the tree.

His silhouette was very lonely, embodying a desolation of being forgotten by others.

Tao Meijiao’s heart ached as she softly called out, “QingheaEUR|”

Xiao Qinghe’s refined eyes glanced at her, his brow furrowed slightly, “Miss Tao, why have you come?”

She approached him, “I wanted to see you, so I came.” Her facial expression became somewhat pale, “I know I no longer have the right to be with youaEUR|”

Gazing at his handsome features, she silently screamed inside, wishing for him to say he didn’t mind, to say he still wanted her.

She would’ve thrown herself into his arms, heedless of everything.

But Xiao Qinghe said with a distant look on his face, “Whether you have the right or not, you’re not in my heart.”

“YouaEUR|” Her face turned pale, “I’ve been intimate with your second brother, do you truly not care at all?”

“Not at all.”

She persisted, “Not even a little bit?”

“Not even a little.”

She closed her eyes, “I distinctly remember when you first saw me, your face flushed, and you looked at me several times.”

“At that time, Qingyue’s beauty had not yet been restored.

And I, a village youth, had never seen such a beautiful woman as Miss Tao.

You were staring at me as well, so I naturally felt uneasy.

If any other woman of your beauty stared at me relentlessly, I would react the same.

It doesn’t mean I like you.” He cruelly shattered any illusions with the truth.

Her lips twisted painfully into a smile, “So you mean, from the start to the end, you never liked me.”

“No.” He answered her directly, “The woman in my heart has always been Su Qingyue.”

“Stop telling me this over and over again!” She became slightly annoyed, “Su Qingyue is married, don’t you understand?”

“As long as I can remain silently by her side, as long as I can see her, just as I have these past several months.

That is enough for me.” A graceful smile formed on his lips.

His smile was so gentle, so uplifting.

Yet, to Tao Meijiao, it was a knife to her heart, because his smile was meant for another woman, bloomed for another woman.

Tears streamed down her face, “I liked you from the first glance.”

“At that time, I was Su Qingyue’s husband, even if only in name.” His expression turned cold, “Miss Tao, you are knowledgeable and well-mannered, beautiful inside and out.

You should not be stealing another’s man, especially when Qingyue is your friend.”

“I would never steal a friend’s man.

At that time, Qingyue and your third brother were already in love, and there was no possibility for you two to be together.

I asked her, and she said she would bless you and me!”

“But why didn’t you ask about me?” His smile turned cold, “Don’t talk about this life, even in the next life, I do not want you.”
