Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 117: Resolving Misunderstandings (5)

At this moment, Lan Xi could no longer tell whether she was Lan Xi or Wu You. The frustration and resentment in her heart burst out like a flood. She expressed all the pain and resentment in her heart without reservation, as if she wanted to pour out all the suffering she had endured in the past few years.

Xiao Chuhan stared at Wuyou, who was in tears, and his heart was filled with astonishment and confusion. He had never thought that Wuyou had such deep pain and sorrow hidden in her heart. At that moment, he couldn't help but regret everything he had done to Wuyou in the past. Those cruel actions were now like sharp arrows, deeply hurting his heart.

Once, he loved Wuyou deeply, but he pushed her into the endless abyss with his own hands, causing her to suffer physical and mental torture. Faced with such a reality, Xiao Chuhan suddenly felt at a loss, not knowing how to face the woman in front of him who had been deeply hurt by him.

Xiao Chuhan slowly stretched out his shaking hands and gently wiped the crystal tears on Lan Xi's cheeks. The two looked at each other silently, and the air was filled with suffocating silence. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Xiao Chuhan broke the silence and whispered: "I'm sorry, You'er."

However, Lan Xi waved away Xiao Chuhan's hand without hesitation, and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"Your apology comes too late."

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with endless sadness and determination.

Lan Xi coughed a few times, her face turned slightly pale. Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this. He quickly got up and poured a cup of warm water, and carefully handed it to Lan Xi: "You'er, drink some water to moisten your throat. This may make you feel better."

Lan Xi reached out to take the water cup and took a sip. The dryness in her throat eased a little, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Xiao Chuhan stared at Lan Xi, his tone carrying a hint of melancholy: "In fact, we are both such stubborn people. We are clearly concerned about each other, but we are always unwilling to be honest. Those misunderstandings that could have been easily clarified have also become deeper and deeper because of our silence..."

"If I had opened my heart back then, maybe I wouldn't be in this situation today..." Lan Xi murmured to herself.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, can we go back to the old days? You'er..."

Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi with burning eyes, his eyes full of expectation and earnestness.

However, Lan Xi suddenly changed the subject: "But it is still unclear who murdered your beloved Jin'er!"

"Didn't you always believe that I was the one who killed Jin'er? Why don't you ask about it now?"

Lan Xi stared at Xiao Chuhan, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment and unwillingness.

Xiao Chuhan was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and stared at Lan Xi silently, without saying anything for a long time. Seeing this, Lan Xi smiled bitterly on her face - after all, he still had doubts about her!

After a long silence, Xiao Chuhan finally spoke slowly: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, but no matter what the result is, it will not affect my feelings for you... You'er, can you trust me this time?"

Lan Xi bit her lip and said nothing, but she was filled with mixed feelings. Should she trust this man who had broken her heart and tortured her in every way? And could their love, which had gone through so much hardship, really be restored? All kinds of thoughts surged into her mind, making her feel more confused and helpless...

"What if I say we can't go back to the past?"

Lan Xi's voice came lightly, like a breeze, but it set off huge waves in Xiao Chuhan's heart.

Xiao Chuhan's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He grabbed Lan Xi's cheek tightly, with such force that he almost crushed her bones. His eyes were full of anger and despair, like an enraged lion, which made Lan Xi shudder.

In modern times, as a battle-hardened assassin, Ye Lanxi has seen all kinds of people and things, but facing Xiao Chuhan's terrifying gaze, she actually felt a little scared. However, the pride deep in her heart made her calm down quickly, she straightened her body and met Xiao Chuhan's sight without fear.

"Why, what do you want to do to me again?"

Lan Xi's tone was cold and firm, revealing an unshakable determination.

Xiao Chu looked at her coldly, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Why do you always want to irritate me?"

Lan Xi smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in her smile: "How could I irritate you? It's because you never trusted me from the beginning to the end. I gave each other a chance. I thought that after I said so much, you would trust me without reservation and believe that Jin'er was not killed because of me, but your expression has already told me the answer."

This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Xiao Chuhan's heart. His pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles on his face twisted and deformed due to extreme anger.

"You are unreasonable!" Xiao Chuhan roared. He let go of her hand, turned and left, leaving Lan Xi alone.

Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan's departing back and could no longer control her emotions. She burst into tears. Her heart ached so much. She realized how painful it was to be distrusted by others.
