Chapter 1037: Chapter 589: Do You Get to Choose? (Double Chapter) (2)

When he completely arrived in front, stopping his footsteps, although his body stopped, the sachet at his waist was still swaying. She immediately felt reluctant, a trickling stream running through the cold desolation, rediscovering the warmth of spring after the long winter, making one unwilling to die.

"You... you are no longer widowed?"

Lin Wanxiao abruptly woke up, his first words were discouraging.

Yet it was such discouraging words that could make her clearheaded.

Lin Wanxiao stood still, after a long while said, "It’s you... it’s you..."

"Ha, why look so surprised to see me, haven’t you known that you would see me?" Chen Yi retorted.

The sneer on his face always made Lin Wanxiao uncomfortable, she cast a deep look then lowered her head, focusing her gaze on that sachet.

"...Give it back to me..."

"What?" Chen Yi was puzzled.

Lin Wanxiao pointed to the sachet at his waist, saying, "I came here to retrieve this, otherwise I wouldn’t bother." She forcefully said, "It was my moment of madness that made me blind at that time."

"Fine, then I’ll give it back to you." Chen Yi decisively untied the sachet.

"Ah?"

Lin Wanxiao suddenly froze in place.

When Chen Yi handed the sachet over, her hand stiffly opened, unmoving, Chen Yi placed it on her hand, ready to release, always a small hand pressed over.

Looking at the stunned Miss Lin, Yin Tingxue blinked, immediately exclaimed: "How can this be, she gave it to you, and you accepted it, moreover... I really like this sachet..."

Lin Wanxiao came to herself, not knowing what to do, holding it wasn’t right, releasing wasn’t right, just staying there in a stalemate, muttering: "You’ve worn it for so long..."

"Exactly, having worn it for so long, I’m sick of it."

Chen Yi said as he forcibly stuffed the sachet into Lin Wanxiao’s hand.

Lin Wanxiao was completely stunned in place, her lips trembled and trembled, two streams of clear tears slid silently. Chen Yi turned away, gaze unwaveringly forward, never looking back.

Yin Tingxue seeing her not moving, swiftly grabbed that sachet, and kept it.

His figure gradually receded, disappearing amidst the dense foliage, Lin Wanxiao stared straight ahead, legs seemingly like deadwood standing in mud, she didn’t even know whether to chase.

Hence Yin Tingxue ran swiftly away.

Her petite silhouette weaving through the thick foliage, darting into the colorful array of flowers, dashing out then back again, like chasing butterflies, her wide layman clothes fluttering in the wind.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lin Wanxiao saw her afar waving at her, the Little Fox appeared very diligent, very tough.

Lin Wanxiao’s mind hadn’t reacted yet, her feet already moved, running over.

Meeting Chen Yi again, he dragged the sachet embroidered with golden letters on blue fabric, holding it in front of her.

Before he could speak again, Lin Wanxiao said, "You might as well keep it!"

Chen Yi raised his brow, saying: "Oh? Why don’t you want it anymore, didn’t you want to take it back? Take it then."

Lin Wanxiao was at a loss for words, her eyes glistening with water, softly said: "...You said you wouldn’t forget me."

Chen Yi sneered, took the sachet back but didn’t rush to attach it to his waist.

Yin Tingxue glanced at them, when clouds slid across the sky, wisely backed away.

The Little Fox is always obedient, often considering for him, Chen Yi noticed and remembered it, supplementing a bit—never causing trouble.

In the ear came faint breathing, Chen Yi slowly turned his head, Lin Wanxiao silently sobbing, Chen Yi silently wiped away the tears from her face with his fingers.

"Have you thought it through?" After a while, Chen Yi asked.

Lin Wanxiao bowed her head, unsure how to answer, nodding then shaking her head.

Chen Yi then raised the sachet.

"Give me some time, give me some time, I beg you..." She nearly pleaded.

Chen Yi remained calm, neither retracting nor handing it over, merely watched her silently.

After a while, Lin Wanxiao finally recovered, lips seemed to harbor thousands of words, but hesitated to speak.

Chen Yi impatiently said, "Speak quickly if you want, no time for you to drag."

"I... I came to find you..." Lin Wanxiao managed to say, as if the words exerted much effort.

Chen Yi casually said, "Really?"

"Really."

"Then you have some awareness." Chen Yi jestingly smiled.

Lin Wanxiao shook her head, annoyed by this frivolous act, hesitating and pondering before asking: "...You truly have feelings for me?"

Chen Yi smiled, nodding along with her words.

Lin Wanxiao lowered her brows, sorrowfully said: "Even if you have feelings for me, you can’t marry me, even if I want to marry you, it’s not because of feelings for you."

Chen Yi inevitably grew bored, she suddenly raised her head, wanting to add something, lips buzzing but not speaking after a while, making him feel even more disinterested. All his life, he had entanglements with many women, be it Zhou Yitang or Qin Qingluo, but none were as inexplicable as Lin Wanxiao. During his days in the Capital City, Chen Yi occasionally overheard the situation of Cui Mansion, indeed, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, as Lin Party collapsed, Cui Mansion followed into decline, became desolate, Lin Wanxiao in such an environment grew increasingly awkward, she remains caught in the gaps, no one sincerely cares for her including herself, hence more conflicted, under his gaze, her cheeks gradually lost color, lips trembled less and less, she was afraid, afraid very much conflicted.

Conflicted... is this woman always so conflicted?

Chen Yi sighed inwardly, directly passing by her.

Lin Wanxiao pursed her lips, in the end couldn’t say anything, only lowered her head.

Pop!

Lin Wanxiao’s delicate body shuddered, the sudden pain reversed against her spine flowing upward, she turned her head, eyes widened, her pale face instantly turned red.

That person mocked, "Why so conflicted, do you have a choice?"

The sudden rude act left Miss Lin at a loss, never in her life had a man touched her like this, her autumn eyes imbued with Jiangnan Spiritual Energy trembled.

Trying to step back, Chen Yi pressed forward, pinching her chin, grinned:

"You’re still beautiful, the bone structure is quite good, honestly there’s still some flesh there."

"You, you want to, want to do what?" Lin Wanxiao had never heard such lewd words, her voice was broken.

"Do what? Good question, if I say lie down you lie down, if I say clean yourself and wait you just wait, tangled here and there like you’re Zhou Yitang, Yin Weiyin, or Qin Qingluo. Do you not realize, can you compare to them? Hmm?"

Lin Wanxiao’s body trembled, cheeks flushed: "You, you’re so shameless!"

She struggled to push Chen Yi away, Chen Yi didn’t give her a chance, flipped his hand to hold her wrists, took two steps forward, forced her to sit down, she just wanted to lift her head to crash over, suddenly realized his face was close, about to kiss.

Lin Wanxiao paused, wanting to escape again, Chen Yi directly kissed her.

It was almost like a tiger pouncing on its prey, Lin Wanxiao’s face twisted, unable to breathe, the widow’s eyes rolled upward.

After separating lips, she gasped heavily, Chen Yi watched her.

Chen Yi didn’t plan to get tangled with this little widow, expecting to twist herself into a knot like a Muggle, a love story across a thousand miles ending in unrequited farewell—having seen too many stomach-churning tales like this, Chen Yi won’t be just another.

Once things are settled, confirming the relationship, later she can be as tangled as she wants, a pile of mess, why get involved.

He silently stood up, leaving her there, said: "Come find me tomorrow night, understand? If you don’t, just wait..."

Lin Wanxiao sat on the ground, cheeks red through, she cluelessly watched the figure gradually disappear from sight, sat there dazed for a long time, a long time...

As she stood up, she suddenly thought,

At least, the sachet, he didn’t give back...
