Chapter 214 How Does It Feel To Be Falling For Someone?
An older woman who was getting involved said, " Young lady, don't be fooled by them. I live around this Haoyuan Institute. And I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. Each year, many students here marry concubines and leave their original wives at home to serve their parents. Hmph! Men are all shit!"
Several women around her echoed, "Mrs. Wang is telling the truth. We see those things all the time too! Most of them have a wife at home and a concubine here. When they finish their studies, their children have already been able to run around. By the time, they take their concubines and children back home with them, their family has no choice but to admit it."
"Yeah! I lend my house to someone like that."
"Me too."
...
Su Jiuyue was completely panicked. She didn't know whose words to believe.
Only, her mind was still firmly remembering what her mother-in-law had said to her before she left that she should not be disappointed so easily and she should wait until she met Xiyuan.
Yes. The priority was to find Xiyuan!
Just then, a man's voice suddenly came from the steps.
"Darling! Don't listen to her nonsense. I have nothing to do with her!"
Hearing the familiar voice and looking back, Su Jiuyue saw Wu Xiyuan standing on top of the steps, panting and sweating. It was obvious that he had run here in a hurry.
Wu Xiyuan saw the person he had longed for. The girl was standing at the bottom of the steps and looking at him with a complicated expression. He felt so heartbroken.
Picking up the hem of his clothes, he rushed downstairs to hug Jiuyue and then finally felt at ease.
"Darling, I really didn't have anything to do with her. I didn't even talk to her."
It was inevitable that hugging in front of so many people would be said to be insensitive. However, at this time, he could not care so much. All he cared about was how to avoid being misunderstood by Jiuyue.
Guo Lingyi, on the side, saw that the man who usually refused to even give her a good attitude, but was actually so nervous about this village woman. She was so mad.
She wouldn't let him get away with it!
Even if it wouldn't work out, she would let them be upset for a few days!
She pretended to pinch her handkerchief to cover her face and cried, "Xiyuan, you are such a heartless man. Yesterday we met secretly at the back of the mountain. You even praised me as beautiful as flowers. Why don't you admit it today?"
Wu Xiyuan really could not understand what this woman was thinking. He was a man. Even if there were some misunderstandings, he could explain them to his wife later. Once it was made clear, he would not be affected by anything.
But she was a woman. Her speech involved a private meeting with a man and the pregnancy. Even her words were not real, but who would dare to marry her in the future?
Wu Xiyuan hugged Su Jiuyue and could clearly feel her shaking with anger.
He was worried that she had really been brokenhearted and left him.
Fortunately, she was still defending him when he came out. So, she believed him in her heart, which made him very happy.
He patted her on the back to reassure her. And he turned his head to look at Guo Lingyi, "Miss Guo, do you have evidence? After I left school yesterday, I was in the bookstore copying books, which I could ask the bookstore owner to testify. And I went back to my place until the curfew, which the three people living with me can be my witness.
Guo Lingyi was speechless for a moment. Wu Xiyuan continued, "I have married. I have nothing to do with Miss Guo. I wonder if Miss Guo dares to go with me to confront your father?"
Guo Lingyi was completely abashed. Although her father loved her, he was too old-fashioned. And if he knew that she had done such a deviant thing, he would have killed her.
She felt a headache just thinking about it.
Seeing this, Su Jiuyue also understood. It seemed that Miss Guo was all wishful thinking and Xiyuan had nothing to do with her.
But... Miss Guo didn't meet his standards. What if there were other Misses, Miss Zhang or Miss Li, would his mind be as firm as today?
Guo Lingyi stepped to her feet, turned back, and went into the door. Luliu did not dare to stay and went straight after her.
Wu Xiyuan made an arch salute to the surrounding folks, "Sorry to disturb you guys. Now things were settled. Everyone, please go back."
When the crowd went away, the outside of the institute returned to its usual cleanliness.
Wu Xiyuan then took Su Jiuyue's hand and looked at her with affection, as if he could not get enough of her.
"Darling, what are you doing here? There are stragglers outside. It's really dangerous for you to come alone. Next time if you have something, you should let someone send a message, and I'll go back to you."
Being wrapped by his scent, Su Jiuyue felt at ease. But she pouted, "It's not because of you!"
Wu Xiyuan was confused, "What's wrong with me?"
"The rumor has spread to the village. Some people say you have kept a woman outside. I was so angry. Your mom told me to come and ask you to see if it was true. That's why I'm here."
After speaking so much, Wu Xiyuan only remembered a few keywords, "So angry?"
He looked at her with a smile, "I have another woman, why would you be angry?"
Su Jiuyue did not expect him to ask this. She stared for a moment, then looked back and was filled with aggression.
"Why am I angry? Don't you know? You were the one who said you wanted to marry me. And you were the one who said I would be your only woman. And then you had someone else!" She was so angry. While crying, she fell on Wu Xiyuan's shoulder and bit him hard.
It was a pity that the weather was still cold and Wu Xiyuan's clothes were thick. So he was not hurt.
Seeing her like this, he was heartbroken. He stroked her hair that reached her waist, gently coaxing and persuading, "Don't be angry. Sweetheart. I was telling the truth. Since you remembered my words, you should know that I would never lie to you, right?"
Su Jiuyue sniffled, "Who knows?"
Wu Xiyuan looked at her childish actions and laughed. Suddenly, he said, "So, Jiuyue falls for me. One day apart, you miss me so much."
Su Jiuyue instantly blushed and reached out to push him away, "What are you talking about? I'm not."
Wu Xiyuan suddenly bent down and looked at her face. He stared at her and said, "Come on, let me look at you and see if you are telling the truth. Are you falling for me?"
Although he was asking a question, the expression on his face was certain.
Su Jiuyue couldn't refuse. But she was a bit confused.
"Fall for you?" What did it feel like to be falling for someone?
She thought, 'I'm happy when he is happy. I feel sad when he is sad. And I am devastated when thinking that he is going to leave me."
[Do you have someone you like so much? To be honest, I don't. I feel like my life is a failure.]
