Chapter 1185 - 1189: You Look Beautiful Today
He didn’t actually humiliate her; rather, he cut off her retreat. She once betrayed him in this way, so he had to make sure she couldn’t stand her ground in this circle!"Yao, it really is you!" Shen Youran ran over excitedly, wrapping her arms around Beitang Yao’s slim waist, burying her head in his chest, crying out, "Yao, I really miss you! I really miss you! I shouldn’t have left you back then! I’m truly sorry, I was wrong!"
She decided to take a chance. He truly was the man who once loved her; no matter what, she had to make him fall in love with her again.
In the distance, at a corner, a small figure watched the two embracing in the pavilion, turning around, only to find a tall figure standing in front of her, also looking into the distance. Then he took Xia Qingqian’s hand and started to walk away.
"Miss Xia Qingqian, are you feeling unwell?" The person taking Xia Qingqian away was Beitang Yao’s brother, Bai Junhao. In the end, he complimented, "Miss Xia Qingqian, you look truly beautiful today, more beautiful than ever."
More beautiful than when he first met her.
This was the second time she met this man. She still remembered, in the hotel, he was the one who spoke up for her, and he was the only one who didn’t kick her when she was down. She remembered him and appreciated him.
"Mr. Bai, why are you here?" Xia Qingqian slightly turned her head, forcing the tears brimming in her eyes back.
"Miss Xia Qingqian, is it because you saw Shen Youran?" Bai Junhao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, "Use this."
Xia Qingqian looked at him from the side. He was dressed in a white suit, his hair neatly combed, like a gentle nobleman. Although he also belonged to the cold type, his features were much softer compared to Beitang Yao’s.
"Thank you." She reached out to take the handkerchief from his hand and turned around to wipe the slight dampness at the corner of her eyes.
"I heard about your situation from others. The servants in Yao’s household speak highly of you; you’re a good girl." Bai Junhao put his hands back in his pockets, took a couple of steps in place, and spoke softly.
Xia Qingqian’s body slightly stiffened, not knowing why Bai Junhao would say such words. "Mr. Bai, your handkerchief got dirty. I’ll wash it clean and give it back to you." She had some words stuck in her throat, unable to speak them, looking at Bai Junhao with words unspoken.
Bai Junhao, being a perceptive man, noticed Xia Qingqian’s hesitant expression and realized that she wanted to know something from him.
"It’s nothing, just a handkerchief." Bai Junhao said softly, then asked in a gentle voice, "Do you want to know about Yao?"
Xia Qingqian didn’t speak, just looked at Bai Junhao quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Under her gaze, Bai Junhao finally revealed the truth to Xia Qianqian: "Shen Youran and Yao were once a couple, but because of Shen Youran’s betrayal, Yao was traumatized. You were just a stand-in. Yao’s actions towards you stemmed from his hatred for Shen Youran. He was enacting his revenge against Shen Youran through you."
"Mr. Bai, what are you saying? Young Master Yao, he..." Xia Qingqian was a bit stunned, frowning as she asked.
"You saw it too, didn’t you? You and Shen Youran indeed bear some resemblance. We were all surprised when we first saw you!" Bai Junhao’s eyes turned distant as he sighed lightly, "But none of us could persuade him. He just wouldn’t listen to us. Miss Xia Qingqian, I’m sorry, back then..."
