her eyes fading into a blank stare. At this moment, it felt as if the sky had collapsed around her.People shouldn't do bad things because sooner or later they will face their karmic judgment."What’s g...Chapter 58

Ruan Xi and Ni Xuanyi spent half a day together, and she fell in love with the sincere and generous Ni Xuanyi. She couldn't help but hold Ni Xuanyi's hand and said somewhat apologetically: "Xuanxuan, before I saw you, I really hated you very much. Sometimes I was so stubborn that I wondered how someone like you could exist. If not for you, Meng Meng wouldn't have kept coming to G City, he would have put his heart in me and liked me. I previously imagined you as the most detestable siren, wishing with all my might to shoot you dead."

Saying this much, Ruan Xi looked at Ni Xuanyi and smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, your thoughts are normal. You love someone wholeheartedly and hate someone intensely." Ni Xuanyi nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I don't like Meng Meng, nor am I the siren you imagined."

Ruan Xi sighed softly, "But after meeting you, I realized how beautiful you are. After getting to know you, I learned how good you are. No wonder Meng Meng likes you. If he ends up liking me but marries you in the future, then I'll admit defeat. At most, this lifetime I won't marry anyone!"

"Fool!" Ni Xuanyi pinched Ruan Xi's nose and said softly: "I know why I like you so much. We get along well because we are very alike.

Ruan Xi sister, actually... Actually, I already have someone I like. This lifetime, I will only love him alone. My wish is the same as yours. If I can't marry him, I won't marry anyone."

Ni Xuanyi felt sad when asked these questions because she wasn’t as lucky as Ruan Xi; at least Meng Meng knew that Ruan Xi loved him and could be stubborn with him to stay together. But what about Li Yi She didn’t even know a shred of his thoughts, let alone dare to cling to him for the word 'love'.

"We... we aren't dating. I'm in an even worse situation than you are; I've just been secretly admiring him!" Ni Xuanyi somewhat awkwardly admitted this fact.

"What A woman as wonderful as you needs to admire someone else from afar" Ruan Xi seemed rather incredulous.

"In the kingdom of love, the party that falls in love first is always humble, no matter how proud or excellent they are!" Ni Xuanyi said more earnestly.

Ruan Xi also acknowledged that what Ni Xuanyi said was correct and sighed while remaining silent.

The two girls were feeling down about their respective romantic endeavors. When Ni Xuanyi thought of Li Yi, she suddenly thought of Li An and couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister Ruan Xi, we don’t have to feel this low though! I know a man whose family is incredibly wealthy, who has an appearance that captivates everyone, and whose wisdom and eloquence are unparalleled. He can do anything and everything, yet he still can't win over the girl of his dreams. Compared to him, there's really no reason for us to feel down!"

"Mm-hmm. My mom always tells me that things in this world often don’t go our way; how could everything be as we wish" Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Xuanxuan, if one day neither of us can be with the person we love most, let's live together. We can travel together, shop together—without them, we shouldn't live a dull life."

"Alright, it’s a deal!" Ni Xuanyi nodded happily.

The two girls, sympathetic to each other's plight and appreciating one another’s company, were delighted as they held hands, closed their eyes, and began to take a nap.

For the next few days, Ruan Xi stayed at Ni Xuanyi's house. They didn't go out to play, instead staying cooped up at home every day. Ni Xuanyi taught her how to put on makeup, wear dresses, and cook meals; they seemed to have an endless amount of topics to discuss as they spent time together.

Meng Meng, although not driven away, found that Ni Xuanyi and Ruan Xi were talking about things he wasn't interested in. No matter what they said, he couldn't join the conversation and could only sit silently by their side. After sitting like this for two days, he felt restless and automatically disappeared during all other times except mealtime.

After spending the New Year at home, Ni Xuanyi's company holiday was over, and she began packing to return to G City.

Picturing herself about to see Li Yi again, she became anxious and uncertain. She wanted to rush back to Li Yi but also felt a complex mix of emotions as she approached her hometown.

When Meng Meng heard that Ni Xuanyi was leaving, instead of being unhappy, he felt excited. If Ni Xuanyi stayed at home, Ruan Xi would monopolize her time. Now that Ni Xuanyi was returning to G City, he planned to go there on the pretext of overseeing his business and personally escort Ni Xuanyi back.

Seeing Ruan Xi's slightly dejected expression when she learned that Ni Xuanyi was leaving, Ni Xuanyi came up with a solution that would satisfy everyone. She proposed, "Sis Ruan Xi, you haven't been to G City yet, why don't you come along and stay for a few days When Meng Meng returns after a few days, he can bring you back."

"Sure!" Ruan Xi immediately brightened up.

Meng Meng's brows furrowed quickly. He didn't want Ruan Xi to go to G City at all but couldn't argue with the two girls.

Ruan Xi and Meng Meng accompanied Ni Xuanyi back to G City. That evening, Ni Xuanyi treated them to a Sichuan-style hotpot feast at Shu Jiu Hong, her favorite restaurant.

Their chosen Shu Jiu Hong was an old establishment. When Li Yi first took Ni Xuanyi for hotpot, they came here. He said his mother loved this particular style of hotpot and that all the Shu Jiu Hong restaurants in the city were owned by their family, ensuring pure oil quality and fresh ingredients.

Ni Xuanyi was scared by the red hot oil at the bottom of the wok and dared not eat it. Li Yi made her a dipping sauce with fragrant sesame oil, which she later tried twice and ended up liking its taste.

Ruan Xi and Meng Mang rarely ate spicy hot pot; they initially only ate from the small pot in the middle that contained clear soup. Later, encouraged by Ni Xuanyi, the two of them dared to try some spicy flavors even though it was very spicy, yet they found it delicious.

Seeing Ruan Xi and Meng Mang eating happily and chatting enthusiastically about food, Ni Xuanyi wanted to give them more time together. As an excuse, she went to the restroom and left the private room.

She walked to a resting area at the corner where she stood still and breathed in some fresh air deeply. In that moment when she turned around, she saw a very familiar figure far away, causing her heart rate to quicken instantly.

Without having to look again, she knew it was Li Yi. He was standing in the corridor facing away from her, talking on his phone. His voice could be faintly heard. Ni Xuanyi suppressed the urge to run over and shout for him, calming down her overwhelming desire. She just stared at him longingly from afar.

Li Yi’s call didn’t last too long. Then a tall woman walked out of the room he was facing; she smiled as she approached Li Yi. Ni Xuanyi recognized the person to be Tang Molì.

Tang Molì spoke to Li Yi for a moment, and he nodded at her in response. The two then returned to their private room one after another.

Although they didn’t engage in any overly intimate behavior, Ni Xuanyi remained stationary for a long time, accidentally inhaling cold air into her lungs that made her cough uncontrollably.lights made her feel cold—despite lying on a heated bed.Yan Luoxi tossed and turned restlessly for quite some time before finally falling asleep; half-asleep, it seemed like she saw Li An.
