Free Web NovelChapter 2181: Chapter 2182: Ultimately Unable to Let Go
Looking at Long Zu Bodhi’s hopeful expression, for a moment, Ye Xunhuan was at a loss for how to respond.
After a long pause, Ye Xunhuan finally spoke: "It’s up to you, I respect your decision!"
At present, Ye Xunhuan could only say this. Otherwise, if he were to suggest Long Zu Bodhi stay, it would only lead her to overthink. Similarly, if he were to ask Long Zu Bodhi to return to Xumi Mountain, she would also overthink.
Ye Xunhuan’s answer now was the wisest choice.
Though this answer wasn’t what Long Zu Bodhi wanted, she had to admit it was definitely the most impartial.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Long Zu Bodhi’s face slowly showed a trace of disappointment.
She knew very well that Ye Xunhuan’s reason for saying this was entirely to prevent her from overthinking.
However, this trace of disappointment quickly faded, vanishing in an instant.
Then, Long Zu Bodhi said, "Actually, I plan to stay in Jiangzhong City, but I’m worried about being alone during the Spring Festival..."
As she spoke, Long Zu Bodhi sighed gently, and a famous ancient saying from Huaxia couldn’t help but emerge in her mind: "Being alone as a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my loved ones even more during every festive season!"
In the past, when Long Zu Bodhi was in the underworld, she hadn’t felt this way, but now she did, and the feeling was growing stronger.
Looking at Long Zu Bodhi’s despondent expression, Ye Xunhuan knew very well that Long Zu Bodhi wanted him to suggest spending the New Year together, to have some cheer.
But if by then, Long Zu Bodhi and Qiu Ruoxi really gathered together...
Ye Xunhuan dared not imagine, it would be alright at other times, but to let them meet during the family reunion time of the Spring Festival...
Just then, as Ye Xunhuan was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan gave Long Zu Bodhi an awkward smile, then took out his phone, and seeing the caller ID, his face slowly revealed a happy and sweet smile.
It was Qiu Ruoxi calling.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan directly answered the call: "Hello..."
As soon as Ye Xunhuan spoke, Qiu Ruoxi’s crisp voice transmitted into his ear: "When are you coming back?"
"I’ll be back soon!" Ye Xunhuan replied softly.
"Then I’ll wait for you for a bit!"
"No need, you should rest early, I’ll be back soon!"
"Okay, got it, take your time on the way back."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much to Qiu Ruoxi and hung up the phone.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan hang up, Long Zu Bodhi asked, "Was that Qiu Ruoxi?"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t conceal it, he directly nodded and admitted: "Yes, asking when I’ll be back!"
"Since that’s the case, you should go back, it’s getting late." Long Zu Bodhi said softly.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t immediately answer, but looked at Long Zu Bodhi, paused briefly, and said: "Then you..."
"What could happen to me?" Long Zu Bodhi chuckled softly.
Only the smile on her face seemed forced at this moment.
"Don’t worry about me, go back quickly!" Long Zu Bodhi said lightly: "I asked you out today because it’s been a long time since we sat together for a calm chat, suddenly I just wanted to talk to you!"
"Now your wife is asking you to go back, you should hurry up and go!"
Ye Xunhuan observed Long Zu Bodhi twice: "Alright, you should go back early!"
"Yes, I know."
Ye Xunhuan left, and looking at his departing figure, Long Zu Bodhi’s heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Once, when she knew Ye Xunhuan in the underworld, they had begun a kite-flying relationship, but it never had any outcome. Even until now, Long Zu Bodhi hasn’t obtained any results.
Even though Long Zu Bodhi never concealed her love for Ye Xunhuan, always endeavoring to pursue her happiness, she has never truly had it.
Not even once.
She once advised Su Guyan to fight, to compete, not to be just a pretty ornament. That’s what she did too, but she ultimately doesn’t have Su Guyan’s fate!
Or rather, compared to Su Guyan, she ultimately misses something.
And what she’s missing, is time!
Su Guyan and Ye Xunhuan are acquainted too early, their sentiments are hard to sever, so that’s why they can be together.
If she, Long Zu Bodhi, had also known Ye Xunhuan that early, then they might also be together.
But there’s no such luck in this world. If everything could be so coincidental and early, then there wouldn’t be so many lovers who are destined but not fated in this world!
The next moment, Long Zu Bodhi picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it dry.
Even knowing full well that there’s no outcome in her passion for Ye Xunhuan, she ultimately couldn’t let go. Long Zu Bodhi even advised herself, there are plenty of good men out there, why hang oneself on the crooked tree of Ye Xunhuan?
With her looks alone, what kind of man couldn’t she find?
Even after advising herself, it ultimately didn’t work, not to mention her heart was still filled with a voice telling her not to give up, to persist, to fight for what she wants because daybreak is right ahead.
It is precisely because of this voice that Long Zu Bodhi sunk deeper and deeper, leading to the current situation.
In matters of love, isn’t this the case for everyone?
Creating a dream for oneself, telling oneself through a lie that dawn is almost here, to comfort oneself. But this kind of self-comfort often leads one to sink deeper!
After Ye Xunhuan exited the bar, gale winds greeted him, making Ye Xunhuan shiver almost instinctively, not to mention revealing a trace of bitterness on his face in that moment.
He knows what Long Zu Bodhi intends to say, and also knows if not for Qiu Ruoxi’s call, what Long Zu Bodhi might say next would make him even more bewildered, unsure how to respond.
Though now he no longer faces Long Zu Bodhi, worried about those bewildering questions, his heart remains weighed down.
Having known Long Zu Bodhi for many years, Ye Xunhuan understands well what kind of person she is, and knows her sentiments. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Yet now he truly doesn’t want to get tangled in such matters, coupled with the nearing agreement time with Qiu Ruoxi increasing his indifference to these things.
Right now, Long Zu Bodhi truly makes it difficult for him to face.
Then Ye Xunhuan drove away from the bar, but upon ten minutes of leaving, he halted the car again, revealing a struggle on his face.
Would it be ungentlemanly to leave Long Zu Bodhi at the bar like that, would the woman drink herself drunk, then...
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan turned around and returned to the bar!
He ultimately couldn’t let go of Long Zu Bodhi!
