1857: She Was Behind It

She Was Behind It

After hearing Jing Xi's plan, Ye Xun found his confidence again. He left Huo Sanyan in Jing Xi's care and left for war.1

After making sure Ye Xun had left, Jing Xi went to the room Huo Sanyan was staying at.

When Huo Sanyan heard footsteps approaching her, she thought that Ye Xun has returned.

"Ye Xun! Don't you dare come in! I don't want to see you again!" Huo Sanyan scolded.

"Calm down, it's me," Jing Xi laughed.

Hearing Jing Xi's voice, Huo Sanyan turned around. Even though she didn't say anything, it was clear from her expression that she was angry at Jing Xi too.

Huo Sanyan was furious because Jing Xi was actually the one behind everything.

"Hey, don't stare at me like that," Jing Xi laughed wryly. "I admit I was in the wrong this time. Please don't blame Ye Xun."

"I am blaming him!" Huo Sanyan scolded. "Look at what he did to me? Look at my scars! And look at how he put me in the hospital! Even if I had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough!"

Huo Sanyan started to count all the wrongdoings that Ye Xun had committed.

"I know what he did was wrong, but weren't you the one who always said that we should look for the reasons?" Jing Xi smiled. "Why do you think Ye Xun still does all of that even after breaking up? He could've found himself a new girlfriend and lived the rest of his life with her. Instead, he chose to do things just for you in secret."

"How should I know?"

"Because he loves you," Jing Xi said as she took Huo Sanyan's hand. "He has been waiting for you, do you know that? He told me that he wasn't going to marry anyone other than you and that he was willing to sacrifice everything just for you. Do you think you can even find another man like him who is willing to give up everything for you?"

"…"

Huo Sanyan was stunned as she tried to process what Jing Xi had said.

"I know that he's the impulsive type, that he does things without thinking too far ahead," Jing Xi continued. "But I can tell you that he's only like that when he's with you. Have you ever seen how he goes to war? How decisive and powerful he is? Only you can make him weak and worried about everything. And why's that? Because he was afraid that you might leave him. In the end, how a woman acts can always change a man. If you give him reasons to trust you, then he'll be confident. If you give him reasons to be courageous, then he won't fear anything."

After hearing what Jing Xi had to say, Huo Sanyan lowered her head and didn't say anything.

All she could think of was the days she had spent with Ye Xun for the past few years. Now that she thought of it, Ye Xun had been giving all he could for the relationship while she was just trying to avoid responsibility.

She realized she was being too selfish and had never admitted that she was in the wrong.
