Chapter 142: He’s Getting Married

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Hanxue quickly tiptoed and kissed Xu Xiang. “I like Aunt the most.” This was because Xu Xiang would bring her to do many things, such as climbing trees and going down the river, or secretly poisoning the people who bullied them…

Xu Xiang chuckled. “You’re the best at coaxing people!”

Perhaps it was because she had been with Xu Qing and Xu Sizhi since she was young, but Xu Xiang was much more mature than her peers. In addition, Xu Qing doted on her sister. As long as Xu Xiang wanted to learn, Xu Qing would teach her. As a result, the seven-year-old Xu Xiang was already proficient in refining poisons.

“Sister.” Xu Xiang was always obedient and ladylike in front of Xu Qing. Of course, Xu Qing wasn’t stupid, but she didn’t care, as long as her sister was happy and confident.

After a while, Lei Wangshu came with her two children. One was the six-year-old son, Lei Zhou, and the two-year-old daughter, Lei Meng’er.

However, Xu Qing was a little puzzled because she remembered that Lei Wangshu had just returned to the capital. Why was he back again? However, it was Xu Xiang’s birthday, so she didn’t ask further.

When the children started to play, Xu Qing brought Lei Wangshu to the other rooms. She asked directly, “You returned because you have something to attend to, right? Don’t tell me you regret it. You still want to continue your relationship with Yin Shaoqing?”

When Lei Wangshu heard this, she couldn’t help but glare at her. In the end, she told her, “Right after I arrived in the capital… I heard from my father that the royal family… is going to give him a marital alliance.”

Xu Qing’s body suddenly trembled, and her originally bright eyes instantly dimmed. She felt angry, and even puzzled!

In fact, not long after Qiao Yanhui left, Xu Qing had already found out his identity. Perhaps it was because Qiao Yanhui had returned to the capital, so he didn’t hide his identity anymore. With his high status and power, his name and identity couldn’t be hidden at all! He was the War God of the ancient country! His power and reputation even surpassed the royal family’s…

With such an identity, how could Xu Qing not know the obstacles and gap between the two of them? Xu Qing thought that while Qiao Yanhui was working hard, she couldn’t give up either! So in the past two years, Xu Qing knew who he was and where he was, but she never looked for him and only focused on expanding her own power! In the end? He was going to get married! How ironic!

Xu Qing could understand why Qiao Yanhui had never sent her any news. Even Qiao Yi and Qiao Er had no contact with him. Therefore, Xu Qing thought that Qiao Yanhui might not want anyone to notice her existence, and that he was protecting her and their family. She kept convincing herself that he must have had a reason, but in the end, she was just fooling herself!

Xu Qing suddenly wanted to laugh at her own stupidity and at Qiao Yanhui’s actions!

But she couldn’t bear to be abandoned again! She had been abandoned by her parents when she was an orphan. After she grew up, she fell in love with a man, but was abandoned again! She couldn’t bear it anymore! She had to go to the capital. She had to tell that man that she didn’t want him anymore! She wouldn’t be abandoned by anyone again!

“Perhaps he really has some difficulties!” Lei Wangshu could only guess. After all, he doted on Xu Qing so much back then…

“Difficulties? Since he can’t fulfill them, don’t make promises!” Xu Qing sneered. Her tone and her gaze were unprecedentedly cold.

Lei Wangshu couldn’t help but have a bad feeling… but she knew that she couldn’t stop Xu Qing. However, she still wanted to say it. After all, Xu Qing had saved her from her misery! “I can understand how you feel! But men are like this. They say anything they want without responsibility. How many of them can fulfill their promises? There’s no need to ruin your life for a heartless man!”

Xu Qing leaned back in her chair tiredly. “Don’t worry, let me be alone.”

Lei Wangshu didn’t say anything and stood up to leave. Xu Qing should have some time alone. She believed that the confident and flamboyant Xu Qing would be back soon! Xu Qing was definitely not someone who dwelled on the past.

Xu Qing leaned back in her chair quietly. She was indeed not someone who dwelled on the past. She only did meaningful things!

At night.

Xu Qing went to the mountaintop where Zhuo Wuyou had brought her to look at the stars again. Every time she came to gaze at the stars, she would no longer resent or complain. She would also calm down.

At this moment, a familiar scent wafted over. Xu Qing didn’t move.

That person was as aloof as ever, but Xu Qing didn’t feel ill at ease. Perhaps she was already used to it? She said softly, “I’m going to the capital.”

“Hmm,” was all Zhuo Wuyou said, and his voice was soft.
