“Hello, Xiaye? It’s me!”

Su Nan’s sweet yet worried voice came through the phone the moment the call connected. “Where have you been in the past two days? I called you and no one picked up. I went to your company to look for you and they told me you’re on leave. What’s happened? Where are you now?”

A whole bunch of questions was fired at her. Xi Xiaye could imagine that Su Nan was probably very frustrated.

“I’m alright. I’ve just not been feeling very well, so I’m taking a few days off. Don’t worry about me. Didn’t you already go back to work? Why did you go to my company to look for me?”

Xi Xiaye wanted to walk away from her spot, yet Xi Xinyi was holding onto her sleeve and preventing her from escaping. Huang Shanshan felt sorry to see the dejected expression on Xi Xinyi’s face and she glared at Xi Xiaye coldly.

Su Nan was concerned about her, she finally asked after a short silence, “I was supposed to go back two days ago, but I was worried about you… So, was everything alright at West Park the other day?”

Xi Xiaye glanced at Xi Xinyi who was beside her. After some thought, she then said, “Nan Nan, I have something to deal with right now and I’ll talk to you later. I have something to tell you too.”

She hung up before Su Nan could reply. Then, she glared at Xi Xinyi icily and said, “If you don’t want things to turn out like the last time, then let go of me!”

Xi Xinyi’s face turned pale as the cold voice struck her. Her whole body froze and she met Xi Xiaye’s icy gaze, trembling a little before letting go of her hand. She then mumbled, “S-sorry… Please don’t be angry… I’m just… I’m just…”

“Xinyi, don’t always use such a soft tone when talking to her. She doesn’t deserve it! Don’t be so considerate about her personality. You’ve done enough throughout all these years! You and my cousin love each other, and she’s the one bothering the both of you. Moreover, it was never mentioned that she had to be part of the marriage proposal. You’re also a daughter of the Xi family!”

Huang Shanshan could not stand it anymore. She dragged Xi Xinyi and stepped forward herself, glaring at Xi Xiaye angrily.

“Stop it, Shanshan. I want to solve my problems myself. I don’t want you guys to always do it for me. Besides, it’s my fault after all. I have my own opinions, so can you please leave this to me?”

Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and pushed Huang Shanshan back, her little face filled with determination. “I don’t want it to be like this every time. In the end, it makes things worse, Shanshan!”

Then, she looked up with her doe eyes begging, “Sis, this is between us. Please don’t blame her. About the other day… I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that the Han family would make that kind of decision. I also didn’t know that Grandmother would do that… Don’t worry! I’ll surely convince them in the end. What’s yours will be yours. I just hope you can live better. I don’t mind even if I don’t get anything.”

“That’s enough, Xinyi! You don’t have to explain so much to her now that things are at this point. Just give her the invitation card to your engagement. It’s her business whether she’s going to attend or not. We’ve all tried our best and that’s that.”

Huang Shanshan was displeased that Xi Xiaye’s face looked distant as ever although Xi Xinyi was nearly begging her. With a grin, she looked at Xi Xinyi as if she was a clown. Then, she went forward and grabbed the red invitation card from Xi Xinyi’s handbag.

“Shanshan! You…”

Xi Xinyi frowned as she looked at the invitation card in Huang Shanshan’s hand. Grabbing it back and staring at Huang Shanshan, she then bit her lip and hesitated when she looked at Xi Xiaye. She apologetically handed the invitation card to Xi Xiaye.

“Sis, I’m getting engaged to Yifeng next Friday. I… I hope you can make it… Sorry… I really don’t know how to apologize to you… but I’m really in love with Yifeng. I hope you can give us your blessing… Your blessing is the most important thing to us…”

The huge, blaring word “happiness” that was imprinted in gold foil acted as a sharp blade. Her heavily injured heart bled once again.

Concerned?

Worried?

She would not have to listen to these words today if she were concerned or worried. She also would not have found Mu Yuchen after being severely injured and realize that no one had chased after her.

At this point, she had to admit that she, Xi Xiaye, was pathetic. She was always playing the unimportant role.

How did things turn out like this?

She had no idea.

What else could she do?

Should she question her sister angrily or argue with her out of frustration?

There was no need anymore. Being cared for was something that had to come from deep within the heart. People would care about you if they thought you were important. Otherwise, you were nothing to them.

The proud version of herself would never lower her head to beg for their attention anymore. She had tried to get them to be concerned about her by leaving them for several years, but unfortunately, she had utterly failed!

She sighed softly as she took out her sunglasses from her pocket and put them on. Her long fingers gently took the red invitation from Xi Xinyi. In just a glance, she saw the names of Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng inside.

“Missus, I’m done paying. Let’s go.” Sis Wang’s voice came from behind.

As the wise Sis Wang went over, she had heard their conversation and somewhat grasped the situation. These two women were obviously putting on a show. However, she was impressed by the Missus’ calm and collected attitude.

Xi Xiaye nodded and handed the invitation card over to Sis Wang who grasped it as her Missus walked out of the store, not bothering to look at them again.

Xi Xiaye and Huang Shanshan were stunned.
