"How is it, Yan Mo? Have you found Bai Ruoxue's place?”Mo Xunjie asked Yan Mo coldly. Mo Xunjie could only put Luo Weiru's matter aside for now. His priority now was to find out why Bai Ruoxue had returned and why she had left without saying goodbye.
Back then, Bai Ruoxue's unannounced departure had always been a thorn in Mo Xunjie's heart. He thought that Bai Ruoxue might have felt too inferior. In addition, Li Mengqin and Yu Yanran had pushed her so hard that she had no choice but to leave.
However, Mo Xunjie could not understand why Bai Ruoxue would leave without saying goodbye. He had told her that he would still choose her even if he lost the right to inherit the family.
Could it be…?
Mo Xunjie didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He would rather ask Bai Ruoxue himself and get the answer he wanted from her.
"Not yet. She seems to be moving often. She changes places every now and then, and her whereabouts are erratic. It's as if someone is chasing her.”Yan Mo said helplessly on the other end of the phone," But I've already spoken to Qin Muchu. He'll send someone to keep an eye on her. Once she's stabilized, I'll bring you to see her."”
Unfortunately, Yan Mo didn't get to see Bai Ruoxue with Mo Xunjie.
Because Bai Ruoxue had delivered herself to his door.
At the Mo family's villa.
Robert knocked on Mo Xunjie's door." Young Master, Young Master. There's a lady at the door who says she wants to see you. Do you want to meet her?”
Mo Xunjie opened the door of the room and asked in puzzlement,""Lady? Who was it? Isn't it Luo Weiru?"
Robert's expression was a little awkward. He didn't know if he should say the girl's name or not.
Mo Xunjie could tell what Robert's expression meant. He asked in a deep voice,""Do I know that woman? Tell me, who is it?"
Under the pressure of Mo Xunjie's stern gaze, Robert broke out in a cold sweat. He took out a handkerchief from his butler uniform and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said respectfully,""Young Master, Miss Bai is here. That, Bai Ruoxue, Miss Bai."
The butler saw that Mo Xunjie was a little stunned and quickly reminded him.
Bai Ruoxue?
Mo Xunjie was momentarily speechless when he heard the butler's words.
It had been three years. No one had mentioned this name in this house for three years. He did not expect that it would be mentioned today.
"Tell her to wait in the living room. I'll be right there.”Mo Xunjie closed the bedroom door and went back to the closet to change into a clean and comfortable set of clothes before heading downstairs.
He had just reached the stairs when he saw a woman sitting on the sofa with her back facing him.
The woman had a head of waterfall-like black hair, and the incandescent light formed a silver-white halo on her black hair. She was dressed in a white dress and sat upright, not moving at all.
There was a cup of latte and a few cookies on the table in front of her.
The back view in front of him was so familiar that Mo Xunjie stopped in his tracks and stared blankly at the back view on the sofa.
Bai Ruoxue, this was indeed Bai Ruoxue.
Only she would look so elegant in her white dress.
Mo Xunjie's heart was filled with excitement. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Yan Mo was right. This woman had left without saying goodbye for three years, and now she suddenly appeared again. There must be something wrong. Now was not the time to be emotional.
Mo Xunjie walked down the stairs and sat down on the sofa opposite Bai Ruoxue. At this moment, Mo Xunjie finally had the chance to seriously size up the woman in front of him.
Her fair skin was like a fine jade with a lustrous luster. Her eyebrows were like indigo, her eyes were like stars, and her nose was like a cherry blossom. She was delicate and charming.
Three years had passed, but her face was still as flawless as when Mo Xunjie first met her. Mo Xunjie was stunned for a moment. It was as if he had returned to three years ago, back to the time when he was in love with Bai Ruoxue.
At that time, they were so happy and blissful. Later, with Bai Ruoxue's departure, all their happiness came to an end.
When Mo Xunjie was sizing Bai Ruoxue up, Bai Ruoxue was also sizing Mo Xunjie up.
After three years, he had become more mature and charming than before.
Bai Ruoxue commented in her heart. She picked up the latte on the table and took a sip. The corners of her lips curved into a smile."I didn't expect Lily to still remember that I like lattes after three years. I only put one sugar in each latte. You've probably forgotten all these things, right?”
Bai Ruoxue's eyes were filled with sadness."I heard that you got married. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. Long time no see, Mo Xunjie.”
Mo Xunjie listened quietly.
"Don't you want to hear why I left you back then and why I'm back now?”Bai Ruoxue didn't expect Mo Xunjie to be so indifferent to her return. She was a little anxious. If she couldn't complete the task that person had given her, she would probably fall into that hell again. However, why was Mo Xunjie not interested in her arrival at all? Didn't that person say that Mo Xunjie would never forget her? Could it be that the man had made a mistake and Mo Xunjie had fallen in love with someone else?
When this realization appeared in Bai Ruoxue's mind, Bai Ruoxue's heart ached, but she quickly endured it. She came here with a purpose, just like how she had approached him with a purpose in the first place. That person had promised her that as long as she could make Mo Xunjie fall in love with her again, that person would give her a large sum of money and let her completely get rid of those filthy things.
Bai Ruoxue's eyes flashed," Xun Jie, I know that you must have been very uncomfortable when I was away for three years. But, did you know? When you heard that you were getting married, my heart was really cut by a knife. You don't know how sad I am! When I saw your grand wedding in the newspaper, I knew that you hadn't forgotten me. The white roses at the wedding were the best proof. You know, I like white roses the most.”
Bai Ruoxue seemed to be intoxicated."I still remember telling you that I wanted my wedding to be filled with white roses and become an ocean of white roses. If I could really have that kind of wedding, I would definitely faint from happiness at the wedding. At that time, I still didn't know who you were and was still dreaming foolishly. I didn't expect that my dream would come true one day, but…the bride wasn't me.”
The grief in Bai Ruoxue's eyes deepened. She knew that Mo Xunjie was only cold on the surface, but he was actually very sentimental. Bai Ruoxue noticed that Mo Xunjie's tightly clenched hands relaxed when she finished her sentence. This meant that he was wavering a little.
Bai Ruoxue was indeed very smart. She knew how to use her memories to evoke Mo Xunjie's yearning for the beautiful past.
Mo Xunjie had to admit that when Bai Ruoxue said this, he felt a sense of guilt. If he had been a little tougher back then, he might have been able to marry Bai Ruoxue. If he had thought about what he wanted at that time, he wouldn't have regretted it for so long. If he hadn't met Luo Weiru later, Mo Xunjie would have thought that he would probably live in loneliness and regret for the rest of his life.
When Luo Weiru's smiling face appeared before Mo Xunjie's eyes, the images of him and Bai Ruoxue in his mind were blown away by the wind. Only Luo Weiru's smiling face remained in Mo Xunjie's heart.
Mo Xunjie didn't realize that the moment he saw Bai Ruoxue, he actually understood who the person he truly loved was.
Bai Ruoxue's departure had always been a hidden pain in Mo Xunjie's heart. However, with Bai Ruoxue's return, the power that had once pulled him back had weakened.
"Welcome back."
Mo Xunjie said to Bai Ruoxue with a smile.
Bai Ruoxue's cheeks turned pale.
Bai Ruoxue had thought about Mo Xunjie's first words after meeting him countless times, but she never expected him to say something like this.
Should she tell that person that she might not be able to make Mo Xunjie continue to fall in love with her? When Bai Ruoxue thought about how she was going to tell that person that she couldn't achieve his goal and the punishment she was going to receive and her future, Bai Ruoxue's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Back then, you left without saying goodbye, which gave me a lot of pressure and hurt. I've let you down in this matter. You left for three years. I looked for you, I pursued you, but I gave up. Maybe I gave up too early, but I don't regret it anymore. Thank you for coming back. Your return made me understand something, something that I had deliberately ignored. And now, because of you, I can finally face it.”Mo Xunjie smiled in relief. Now, he could tell Luo Weiru with a clear conscience that the person he loved now was her and not Bai Ruoxue.
Bai Ruoxue's face turned even paler and more transparent.
Mo Xunjie, that arrogant and cold man, when did he show such a gentle expression? Was she dreaming?
But why did her heart hurt so much?
Didn't the man in front of her promise to love her forever? How did everything change in less than three years?
Bai Ruoxue clutched her chest, her face pale. It was no longer that person who wanted Mo Xunjie to fall in love with her. It was her who wanted Mo Xunjie to fall in love with her again!
Bai Ruoxue's eyes flashed with stubbornness.'I want to see how that woman can resist so many memories of me and Mo Xunjie!' One day, that woman would understand that Mo Xunjie only belonged to her!
A brand new plan unfolded in Bai Ruoxue's mind. She clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with a crazy light.
