Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1523: Inch by Inch, Struggling

That noon during lunch, Tao Zhixiang didn’t have much of an appetite.

She hadn’t eaten dinner last night, nor breakfast this morning, yet she didn’t feel hungry at all. She hastily gobbled a few bites of food, but couldn’t eat any more.

Her head ached a bit, but the physical pain was no match for the pain in her heart.

After lunch, she left the company.

Since it was lunchtime, she wanted to get some fresh air. As she kept walking, she passed by a hair salon, and from the speakers outside, the gentle voice of Liang Yongqi wafted out—

I have cut my hair short, cut off the attachment

Cutting away the split ends of unrequited love

Long and short, short and long

Inch by inch struggling

I have cut my hair short, cut off the punishment

Cutting away the embarrassment that wounded me deeply

...

In that moment, Tao Zhixiang felt her eyes grow warm!

She pushed the door open and went in. The shop assistant, seeing her enter, smiled and said, "Welcome."

After washing her hair, she was led to a chair by the shop assistant.

Tao Zhixiang sat in the chair and closed her eyes.

"Cut it short for me!"

"What style do you want? How short?"

"Whatever, just make it look good to you!"

It... didn’t matter anymore.

As the stylist’s scissors snipped away, the sound of hair being cut fell, bit by bit, into her ears.

She didn’t want to look at herself in the mirror, because she felt too desolate.

Life needed to go on, but she wished... that her heart could finally withdraw.

As a child, she had watched many period dramas, where men or women disappointed in love often chose to enter a monastery, with men shaving their heads and women cutting their hair.

Perhaps because past love was too heavy, too painful, entering a monastery was their way of escaping.

It seemed that cutting away these countless strands of worry could cast away all the dissatisfaction, pain, struggle, and sadness from the heart.

But now, is it really that simple?

There are so many lovesick men and women in this worldly life. Even if they want to escape, where... can they go?

And she herself, was really tired!

To fall in love with someone she shouldn’t have, truly, was heavy!

Chu Mucheng didn’t care about her at all!

She should remind herself, to wake up a bit, and then wake up more!

She mustn’t... continue to persist blindly and regretlessly!

She knew that cutting her hair couldn’t change the situation between her and Chu Mucheng at all.

And their relationship... who knows how long it would last.

But regardless, no matter how the future continues, she just wanted... to hold onto her heart, curl up in that safe corner, and guard it well!

Time slowly passed, and when the stylist said it was done, Tao Zhixiang opened her eyes, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in the mirror with a slanted fringe and short straight hair, appearing fresh and playful, her gaze serene and elegant.

That afternoon, when Tao Zhixiang returned to the office, everyone saw her long hair had turned into a surprise.

"Wow, Xiangxiang sis, you silently cut your hair!"

"Yeah, yeah, but cutting it like this, it looks refreshing and smart!"

"It’s such a pity, that long hair, gone in an instant. Xiangxiang sis, don’t you feel heartache?"

There were quite a few girls of the same age in the office, and they all asked one after another.

Tao Zhixiang smiled faintly.

"At noon, I had nothing to do and went out for a stroll. When I arrived at the salon, I just went in! It’s nice to cut it short, I feel it looks neat!"

In the afternoon, Tao Zhixiang’s proposal was completed and needed to be delivered to He Muyang’s office.

When He Muyang saw Tao Zhixiang, he paused for a moment, but shortly after his lips curled up.

"Hmm, very pretty!"
