illicit relationship-Chapter 1759 Are You Planning Something, Handsome?

"Can we really not go back to the way it was before?" even though Lan Ruoxi knew the possibility of them returning to the way they were before was very small, she still asked this question because she did not want them to keep avoiding each other.

Lan Ruoxi loved him.

She wanted them to joke, laugh, and tease each other like before, so she hoped they could go back to the way they were before.

Xiao Tian did not answer her question and only stared at her. Even though he had forgiven her, but he still remembered her betrayal clearly.

It still gave him immense pain whenever he remembered it because he loved her and he always treated her well.

He even planned to marry her in the past, so it was really hard for him to forget her betrayal.

Lan Ruoxi could not hide the sadness within her when Xiao Tian did not answer her question.

Even though he did not say anything, but she knew his answer because it was written on his face.

"I…" she wanted to say she did not want to betray him, but she decided not to say it because it would sound like an excuse.

Lan Meirong, who peeked at them from behind bushes, uttered, "What are you doing, Ruoxi? Why didn't you say anything to him?"

"If you don't have anything to say to me anymore, I will leave now." After saying that, he rose to his feet again.

Sure, he had forgiven her, but they could not go back to the way they were before because she had hurt his heart.

If his heart was a piece of paper, Lan Ruoxi had crumpled, stepped on, and thrown that piece of paper.

Even if he had forgiven her, that piece of paper would not return to its original state. It was already crumpled, destroyed, damaged, and ugly now.

This was the reason why he was still not ready to meet her because she had given him immense pain.

After all, the betrayal of people we love was much more painful than the betrayal of friends.

When Xiao Tian was about to leave, Lan Ruoxi stopped him again.

She grabbed his right hand and looked at him. "I love you."

She did not know why, but she suddenly confessed her love to him.

Xiao Tian was startled by her confession.

'What?!'

They were still in a bad relationship, but instead of trying to rebuild their relationship from scratch again, she confessed her love to him.

It was weird.

It was amusing.

She should not confess her love to him at this time because they were still in a bad relationship.

So why?

Xiao Tian did not say anything and only stared at her.

If she had confessed her love before she betrayed him, he would have been happy and hugged her, but he felt nothing now.

The great pain in his body had covered his love for her, so he did not feel happy when she confessed her love to him.

"I know this is not the right time to say this, but I only want you to know that I love you. I ready do." Of course, Lan Ruoxi also knew it was not the right time to confess her love to him, but she wanted him to know about her feelings directly.

Even though they were in a bad relationship, her feelings for him would not change.

She still loved him and would always love him. Even if he hated her, her feelings would not change because he had become a part of her. "I can't accept your love." It was impossible for him to accept her love after what she had done to him.

Sure, many people would say he was childish, but they said that because they did not know what he felt.

They were not him, and they were not in his shoes, so they would not know the pain hidden deep inside him.

"What should I do for you to accept me? What should I do so that we can go back to the way it was before?" she threw two questions at him. "Xiao Tian, don't be so cold. At least, grant her wish and let her make amends." Lan Meirong wanted to come out of her hiding place when Xiao Tian only stared at her daughter.

Her daughter had tried her best to make up with him, but his reactions were bad, as if he lied when he said he had forgiven her. Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi continued talking.

But even so, their relationship was still the same.

There was no improvement in their relationship because Xiao Tian still could not forget her betrayal.

After talking for several minutes, Mu Ai and Feng Yu appeared. They wanted to go home, so Xiao Tian left immediately.

Shortly after they left, Lan Meirong came out of her hiding place and sat next to her daughter.

"It's fine." Lan Meirong tried to cheer her daughter up. "We will try again later. I'm sure you can rebuild your relationship with him later."

"Un." Lan Ruoxi nodded her head.

----

The following morning, Xiao Tian met Yukina when he was on his way to his company. Unlike usual, Xiao Tian did not avoid her this time, instead, he approached her immediately.

Actually, there was a reason why he did not avoid her like usual.

Information!

Yes, he wanted to get information about the Xiao family from her.

Even though Li Mei had given him information, but she did not give all information about the Xiao family.

That was why he approached Yukina because the Xiao family recruited her to help them.

"Handsome…" Yukina ran toward him with a happy face. "What are you doing here?"

"I want to eat because I haven't eaten anything." He lied when he said this because he wanted to take her to a restaurant.

"I also haven't eaten anything." Actually, she had already had breakfast, but she lied because she wanted to eat with him. "Let's have breakfast together."

Xiao Tian only looked at her when she suddenly hugged his right arm because he was already used to it.

"Where are we going to eat?" she asked happily.

"Dexy Restaurant." He chose this restaurant because Dexy restaurant had a good private room.

"I don't know anything about that restaurant, but I will let you decide it." Even though Dexy restaurant was quite famous in Shanghai, Yukina did not know anything about it because she was Japanese and had only been in China for a few days.

After arriving at Dexy restaurant, Xiao Tian chose a private room that had the most beautiful view.

Yukina was thrilled when she stepped into the private room.

The private room was huge, with the dining table in the middle of the room. Not only that but there was also a sofa next to the dining table.

From the private room, they could see the beauty of Shanghai because there were huge windows in front of the sofa.

"I like this private room." Yukina stated.

Xiao Tian did not say anything and sat on the chair.

'I will try to get as much information as possible from her later.'

He said as he stared at Yukina.

After Yukina sat next to him, she inquired, "Handsome, your behavior is not like usual today. You even took me to a good place. Why are you doing this? Are you planning something?"
