Chapter 650. Lose (2)
“Grandfather’s gone and the Xi family no longer exists too, so all those grudges will soon pass.”
Now, many broken clips flashed in Xi Xiaye’s mind. There were happy ones and sad ones. In the end, she could only smile indifferently. “You shouldn’t remember them either. After these storms have passed, it’s not a bad thing to start a new life.
“I’m grateful for the ways you’ve protected me before. At least, before Xi Xinyi was stabbed by that knife, you’ve always been protective over me. So, you don’t have to feel guilty or uneasy. No matter what, we’ve worked hard before. We can only say that our fate was too shallow. You weren’t the one for me, and I’m not the princess you should be protecting.”
When he heard her speech, Han Yifeng’s expression became oddly dull. He forced a smile and then asked, “Do you hate me?”
Xi Xiaye shook her head very honestly. “I don’t. I did resent you, but after that, I realized that there was nothing to hate. After all, as much as I hate you, you wouldn’t be returning to my side. Hating someone is a very painful thing to do.”
“Xiaye, I let you down…”
Han Yifeng sighed. “Maybe this is karma! These days, I’ve been thinking a lot too. The person that caused all of this was me. If I had kept believing you, and not indulged Xi Xinyi and be deceived by her, it wouldn’t have turned out like this. I know that I have sinned gravely. I want to compensate you, yet I don’t know what else I can do.”
“You don’t have to think about whether you’ve let me down because these things aren’t important to me anymore. As long as you make yourself proud, that’ll be enough. I don’t understand huge life principles either. Humans live for today and for a clear conscience. That’s just it, isn’t it?”
Xi Xiaye held her tea up to drink a sip and she did not look into his gaze with mixed emotions anymore. “You are now someone’s father, and I will soon be a mother. I hope that you can raise your child well and not let them be like us. The last generation’s grudges shall end with us. Can you fulfill this one request of mine?”
