CHAPTER 143 - Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(32)

World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(32)

Xue Xue finally decided to visit Xi Lang.

To complete the task of this world successfully, Xi Lang is the last key figure.

Although Yang Keqing made the progress much earlier than Xue Xue’s plan, on second thought, it would be better to resolve the entanglement with Xi Lang as soon as possible, so that Xie Conglu would not be uneasy.

“Xie Conglu.” Xue Xue called out. The man who was focusing on driving ignored her.

“Xie Conglu.” Xue Xue had no choice but to call for the second time. However, he just played the music louder.

The third time, Xue Xue was angry.

She wanted to grab the man’s ear and scold him, and the words had already thought of and reached her lips, but suddenly, Xue Xue changed her mind.

“Husband…”

The voice was as delicate and soft as honey.

Xie Conglu slammed on the brakes.

Xue Xue was startled, and subconsciously grasped the seat belt.

Fortunately, they were the only one on the road at such an early hour, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what would have happened during the rush hour.

Thinking of this, the terrified woman glared at the man.

“What are you doing? Do you want to die?”

Xie Conglu didn’t respond to this. He just stopped his car at the shoulder of the road and put on a warning light. Then he turned to look at Xue Xue.

“What did you call me?”

“What?”

“What　did you just call me?” Xie Conglu’s black eyes were bright and shining like stars. “Good, Xue Xue, would you call me again?”

“Humph.” Xue Xue turned away from the man’s soft face as if throwing a tantrum. “Didn’t you just ignore me?”

“It’s my fault.” Xie Conglu readily admitted, then frowned again with a pitiful look. “But don’t I have a reason? If you didn’t hide it from me to go to Xi Lang today, I wouldn’t be angry.”

“Hide it from you? If I really want to hid it from you, would I ask you to drive me there?” Xue Xue said angrily. “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid of your crazy thoughts, but when you asked me, didn’t I explain the cause and effect? What are you so angry about? Huh?

Xue Xue’s barrage of words hit Xie Conglu in the face.

The man was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and it wilted at once.

Seeing him like this, Xue Xue was both angry and amused.

“Okay, let’s not think about it.”

“This time, I’m going to officially say goodbye to the past.”

Xue Xue said, raising her eyes to look out the window.

The sun is shining beautifully, it is the right time to say goodbye.

“Is what you said true?”

Through the glass mirror, you can clearly see Xie Conglu’s cramped expression.

Over the past few days, Xie Conglu, who has gradually accepted Gao Changze, has grown up a lot, whether in dealing with people or in being dealt by others, if the Xie Conglu that she met for the first time was a pure jade discovered by Xue Xue’s sharp eyes, then the current him was the dazzling artwork that has been polished, and his casual gesture can also attract people’s attention.

This made Xie Conglu much more confident.

The only thing that seemed to bother the man was the matter of Xi Lang, especially after hearing about Xue Ning and Xi Lang’s past from Xue Chen. Every time he hears Xi Lang’s name, Xie Conglu will be like a hedgehog, exploding at the slightest touch.

Xue Xue couldn’t do anything about it.

Every time she wanted to explain it well, Xie Conglu always held an attitude of resistance, going in one ear and out the other.

Xue Xue was also troubled.

Xue Ning and Xi Lang, green plum and bamboo horse, ex-wife and ex-husband, these were all in the past and she couldn’t change anything.

[青梅與竹馬 (qīng méi yú zhú mǎ: green plum and bamboo horse; (fig.) refers to a boy and girl who grew up together to be in love or married/ childhood sweethearts/ couple who grew up as childhood friends]

But now, Xie Conglu obviously listened to her words.

“Fool, what I said…” Xue Xue turned back and smiled at the man. “Of course it’s true.”

In the end, Xie Conglu didn’t go in with Xue Xue, but went to the chain cafe next to the building.

“If something happen, call me.”

“What is there to happen?” Xue Xue disagreed. “Don’t you believe me?”

“Of course I believe in you, but I don’t believe Xi Lang.” Xie Conglu brushed her wind-ruffled hair and tugged the strands behind her ears. His peach blossom eyes filled with sweetness, “What if he sees Xue Xue being so pretty and becomes lustful?”

“Pfft.” Xue Xue who was praised, glanced at Xie Conglu, “What should I do? Naturally, I will beat him all over the place.”

Fearing that the good man might be confused again, Xue Xue coaxed him. “But don’t worry, I’ll definitely call you right away if there is anything, eh?”

Xie Conglu stared at her.

Xue Xue couldn’t stand the gaze of the man.

Like a willful and stubborn little animal, it makes people pity and soft-hearted.

Xie Conglu has actually changed a lot since the two met until now, but in front of Xue Xue, he has always kept the soft and vulnerable side that he had when they first met. To a certain extent, this was also one of the ways Xie Conglu, who instinctively felt insecure about their relationship, used to trap Xue Xue.

Xue Xue was worried about leaving him alone.

Xie Conglu was sober, but when he was with Xue Xue, he always felt it was unreal, as if the woman would suddenly disappear in the next second.

This invisible fear made the man always show his weakness at the right time, so that Xue Xue would know that he could not live without her.

“Really worried, huh? Or we’ll go together…”

In the next second, Xue Xue was pulled into the man’s arms.

Xie Conglu hugged her and dropped a light kiss in the middle of the woman’s head.

“No need, I trust you.”

“Go back quickly, I’ll wait for you here.”
