Chapter 62 Xiao Xiao Farewell
"Please forgive me, I didn't intend to cheat on you, Xiao. I was very drunk last night, and when I woke up, I was already with that woman, and I don't remember what happened between us." The man said pleadingly.
Xiao Xiao was getting angrier with his explanation. "I will never forgive you! And I've decided to call off our engagement!"
"Please don't do that, Xiao. I love you so much." He said as he grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand, and she tried to pull his hand away, but he held it firmly.
"Quickly let go of my hand! If you don't let go of my hand, then I will scream that there are thieves here. You certainly don't want those people to beat you up, right?" Xiao Xiao said disdainfully.
She was angry with her fiancé because when she entered his apartment earlier, she found him sleeping naked with a woman.
The man froze, listening to Xiao Xiao's threat, he then let go of her hand and looked at her with a look full of guilt.
"Hurry up and get out of my shop! I don't want to see you anymore." Xiao Xiao said as she walked into the flower shop and closed the door, the man could only stare in silence. And after a while, he turned to leave the flower shop.
After the man left, Ling Yun then walked towards Xiao Xiao's flower shop. But just as he was about to open the door, he heard her crying. He sighed softly, then entered the shop.
"Why did you come back?" Xiao Xiao asked in a high tone.
"It's me, Big Sis Xiao."
Xiao Xiao immediately turned around and was stunned to see Ling Yun; she then wiped her tears and asked. "Why did you come here, Yun'er? Do you want to buy flowers?"
"En, I did want to buy flowers. But I saw you fighting with him, and I've heard everything." Ling Yun replied softly as he walked towards him, then he pulled Xiao Xiao into his arms, making her freeze. "You don't have to pretend to be tough, Big Sis Xiao. If crying can make you feel relieved, then you can cry as much as you want."
Hearing her words, Xiao Xiao started to cry even louder, and he just hugged her while caressing her back. Because when he was a child, whenever he felt sad, she was always by his side to cheer him up, so now he wanted to do the same for her.
Ling Yun did not say a word, and he let Xiao Xiao cry to let out all the sadness in her heart.
After a very long time, Ling Yun finally released Xiao Xiao, who had calmed down and stopped crying, from his embrace. He then wiped the remaining tears from his eyes and cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Yun''er. Because you have to see this unsightly appearance of mine." Xiao Xiao said quietly.
Ling Yun then said with a smile. "Why do you say that, Big Sis Xiao? When I was little, you always tried to cheer me up whenever I was feeling down, so I also want to cheer you up when you're sad like now."
Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Yun in amazement, and then she nodded. She didn't expect that Ling Yun would still remember all that. "Time sure flies, Yun'er. Back then, you were still so small, but you're already this big, and you're also very handsome now.
"You're getting prettier yourself too, Big Sis Xiao. He's such a fool to have cheated on you with another woman." Ling Yun spoke as he caressed her cheek.
Xiao Xiao did not refuse her actions, because they were used to each other, and they looked each other in the eye. Even though they had seen each other many times, Ling Yun was still mesmerized by Xiao Xiao's beauty. Xiao Xiao herself felt strange in her heart, and she had never felt that way before. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that his charm was constantly increasing; although it didn't affect her too much for now, but it was enough to make her swayed by it.
Before they knew it, Ling Yun was already hugging Xiao Xiao's waist, he then brought his face close to hers and kissed her lips directly.
Xiao Xiao was shocked by his action, she subconsciously used a bit of her cultivation to push Ling Yun away from her, which caused him to fall backward.
"Ouch!" Ling Yun groaned as his head hit hard against the metal chair behind him.
Seeing that, Xiao Xiao panicked, and she then squatted down in front of him. "I'm sorry, Yun'er. I didn't mean to do that."
"It's okay, Big Sis Xiao." Ling Yun smiled awkwardly. "I should be the one apologizing to you because I shouldn't have done that."
Xiao Xiao just nodded to him, and she then helped him up, as she asked. "Do you have business elsewhere, Ling Yun?"
Ling Yun shook his head at her. "I just want to buy flowers, and come back home afterward."
"Then, can you accompany me to go somewhere?"
"Alright!"
-------------------------------------
After some time, they arrived at West Lake, and they walked side by side enjoying the view of the location in silence.
"Do you already have a lover, Yun'er?" Xiao Xiao suddenly and curiously asked.
Ling Yun turned to her in surprise, because Xiao Xiao had been silent ever since they arrived at West Lake, and the first thing that came out of her mouth was that question. "Hmm, I already have lovers, Big Sis Xiao."
"Lovers? You have more than one lover?" Xiao Xiao asked in shock.
"Yes! To be more precise, I have four lovers." He answered innocently, because he didn't care what other people thought of him. And also, Xiao Xiao was already very close to him, so he had no intention of lying to her.
Xiao Xiao looked at him strangely, she had known him for many years, but she had never seen him bring his lover home, and now he said that he had four lovers.
"Do you think that's strange?" He asked with a smile after seeing Xiao Xiao looking at him strangely.
"I do not know." Xiao Xiao shook her head and continued. "But if I were in their shoes, I definitely wouldn't be able to accept such a situation, because I don't want to have a fickle lover."
Ling Yun sighed inwardly, because it is very difficult for most people to accept more than one love relationship. "Are you really going to call off your engagement?"
"Yes." Xiao Xiao answered firmly. "Anyway, I will be moving from Hangzhou soon, Yun'er."
"Eh?" Ling Yun looked at her in shock.
Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky and sighed softly. "Actually I have wanted to leave Hangzhou for a long time, and move to Beijing to pursue my delayed dream. But it's hard for me to leave because I don't want to part with my fiancé, but I've decided to end our engagement now, so I no longer have the burden of leaving this city."
Ling Yun nodded and smiled at her. "If that's your wish, I will support your decision, and I hope you can achieve your dream in Beijing later."
Xiao Xiao then faced him and cupped his cheeks, and she kissed his lips for a moment. "Thank you, Yun'er. Think of the kiss as a memory from me, because we may not meet again in the future."
Ling Yun shook his head, and he hugged Xiao Xiao's waist. "You are wrong, Big Sis Xiao. This farewell is only temporary, and we will meet again in the future."
"En." Xiao Xiao just nodded with a smile.
