Chapter 95 (2/2)

Who would bother deliberately fleeing from this issue? They were both 21st century people. Ji Man had explained her viewpoint to him and the sc.u.mbag had outwardly believed her. He had even lovingly said that he didn't mind waiting until they were married and appeared as if he had really cared about her.

However, when they went to college, Ji Man was in the south and the sc.u.mbag had gone to the north. When the semester had only started two months ago, Ji Man had taken a two-day train ride to Beijing to see him. She wanted to give him a surprise, so she went to the apartment he was renting. But, the end result was that he opened his door in disheveled clothing. She rushed inside and saw a sweetly sleeping woman on his bed.

Regarding this matter, Ji Man didn't fuss or cause a commotion. When she went out, she even walked quieter because that woman was truly sleeping too sweetly.

It was only when she went out that she realized the north was truly colder than the south. It was so cold that her bones ached.

The sc.u.mbag had left a hole in her heart. Even if she met all sorts of people later on, the wound would only be buried deeper and deeper. It wouldn't slowly heal. Now that it was dug out, it was still dripping with fresh blood.

No matter how carefree people were, they would still have a thing they couldn't let go, that was the quality of a real, living person.

After lunchtime was over, Ji Man followed the others back onto the boat and fell asleep after going to her room. Ning Yuxuan was also in the room. He was sitting down and writing something. He would occasionally raise his head and feel peaceful as he glanced at the sleeping person on the bed.

However, Ji Man had slept for less than an hour before she had a nightmare. In the midst of her nightmare, she vividly remembered a name that she hadn't said for several years. ”Xu Xi!”

Ning Yuxuan's hand paused. He glanced at Nie Sangyu, put down the brush in hand, and walked to the bed.

It was the middle of winter, but this person's body was piping hot in her sleep. It seemed as if she would start sweating soon. She furrowed her brow and her mouth mumbled out that name again.

Who was Xu Xi? Ning Yuxuan recalled the names of Nie's clan's members. There didn't seem to be such a person in Nie Clan. Then, was it a friend?

A stream of something translucent slipped down from the corners of Nie Sangyu's eyes. Ning Yuxuan was stunned. He couldn't resist stretching his hand out to catch it. It was icy cold tears. How long had it been since he saw Nie Sangyu cry?

Nie Sangyu used to frequently cry because of him. However, since he had married Wen Wan, she hadn't cried over him even once. And now, she was saying another man's name and crying.

Ning Yuxuan coldly harrumphed. This was the first time he felt angry because of this woman. Nie Sangyu truly acted as if she was free to do whatever she wanted. Did she not take the seven reasons for divorce seriously? She had been married to him for six years, but she was actually longing for another man?

Ji Man was sleeping, but she suddenly felt pain in her hand. As she abruptly gained consciousness, she saw Marquis Moyu's dark expression in front of her.

He asked, ”Who's Xu Xi?”

Ji Man's eyes were teary. She looked at him in confusion for a long time before her eyes finally focused.

Had she accidentally called out that name? Ji Man wiped her face and did her best to regain her calmness. ”To respond to the marquis, that was a dog this servant used to raise. It wasn't very loyal.”
