Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 17: Already Have a Sweetheart!
Chapter 17: Already Have a Sweetheart!
Bai Xianyu knew that since Xie Xingyun had chased her all the way here, she had no choice but to get down.
"Green Pearl, wait for me here."
Green Pearl looked at Bai Xianyu worriedly. "Miss, you…"
"Don't worry. I'll be back after a few words with him."
There were many people in the bustling city just now, so it was indeed inconvenient to say many things directly.
Bai Xianyu followed the man to a pavilion. The place here was lush with bamboo and the wind rustled. They were already a little distance from the carriage. Even if the two of them spoke loudly, the people in the carriage would not be able to hear them clearly.
"What do you think of me?"
As soon as Bai Xianyu came up, she was stunned by this question.
"…The Young Marquis is a dragon and phoenix among men." She held back a more pertinent evaluation.
Xie Xingyun saw that she kept her head lowered and was a little displeased. He gently tugged at her crescent-shaped bun and lifted Bai Xianyu's head; she was in a daze.
He curled his lower lip. "Just look at me like this."
Bai Xianyu, "…"
"My surname is Xie and my name is Xingyun. I'm from the capital. My father is the Marquis of the Northern Garrison, and my mother is Eldest Princess Jing An. I've just been ranked first place in the metropolitan examination. Although it can't be said yet that I'll have a very bright future, I am able to protect your well-being. What do you think of me becoming your husband?"
Was he already proposing marriage?
Protect her well-being.
When she begged him back then, did he show mercy to her brothers?
With Xie Xingyun's status at that time, even if he only spoke a word for them, perhaps… the outcome would be different.
Her gaze gradually dimmed.
"If you think it's not dignified enough…"
Bai Xianyu took a deep breath and interrupted him. "Sorry, I will only marry the person who loves me."
"Do you love me?" she asked suddenly.
At this moment, she seemed to have become the Bai Xianyu who always cared about Xie Xingyun.
Xie Xingyun fell silent.
Fortunately, Bai Xianyu no longer had any hope for him, so she ignored the bitterness in her heart.
"…Look, the Young Marquis can't say anything, right?"
He did not love her.
He was just used to having her by his side.
Therefore, he did not need to ask for her opinion on taking a concubine. He had never treated her brothers as his family.
He did not even love her, so how could he love her loved ones?
Whether the General's Manor existed or not had nothing to do with him…
Xie Xingyun fixed his gaze and his expression was uncertain. "You rejected me so decisively. Could it be that you already have someone you like?"
'If it makes you give up.'
Bai Xianyu replied, "Yes."
The man's entire body exuded a low pressure, and a powerful sense of oppression assaulted Bai Xianyu's face. Bai Xianyu did not move but said, "Young Marquis, you'll definitely meet someone who's thousands of times better than Xianyu."
After Bai Xianyu finished speaking, she placed the Chinese rose in her hand in the pavilion.
She did not look back again.
Xiao Zheng, who had witnessed everything, felt a chill in his heart. He felt that Xie Xingyun's rear view was extremely depressing.
Today was the day he had aced the metropolitan examinations. It should have been a joyous day.
He originally thought that the Young Marquis and the Bai family's first daughter were in love with each other, but he did not expect it to be one-sided interest on the part of Young Marquis. This Bai Xianyu was completely heartless…
Even though it was hard to believe, from Miss Bai's resolute expression just now, Xiao Zheng had no choice but to believe it. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Young Master, the wind in the forest is strong. Let's talk when we get back." Xiao Zheng's heart ached. He reminded him, "If you insist on Fifth Miss Bai, the Eldest Princess will help you fulfill your wish no matter what."
Did he have to have Bai Xianyu?
Xie Xingyun said calmly, "There's no need."
Xiao Zheng did not understand what he meant.
He heard the man say, "Since she already has a sweetheart… I don't have to insist on having her."
