CHAPTER 1721: CHAPTER 1721: FINALE: IN THE NEXT LIFE, MAY YOU GUIDE ME (11)

Xiao Ji thought he could avenge Su Hongxing, but unfortunately, before he could make a move against Cao Shiyu, Ye Qilan once again took the lead and avenged Su Hongxing.

That time, he witnessed Ye Qilan’s ruthlessness.

Ye Qilan didn’t even waste time finding out who the real mastermind was; he just placed all the suspects in Qingmu Garden.

A great fire was set, and including Ye Qilan himself, everyone perished in retribution for Su Hongxing. That lifetime, they ended all their love and hatred in such a tragic way.

He did not feel wronged to die at Ye Qilan’s hands, and compensating Su Hongxing in such a way was a punishment he deserved.

But in this life, Ye Qilan once again tore him and Su Hongxing apart. And he once again fell into Ye Qilan’s trap, choosing to distance himself from Su Hongxing.

How could he be content with this? Clearly, he was Su Hongxing’s true destined one, and it was Ye Qilan who repeatedly intervened, snatching the woman who should have belonged to him.

Because of the lessons from past lives, he was more cautious this time. He planned carefully to finally fulfill his wish and kill Ye Qilan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qilan’s life was strong, and in the end, he somehow came back to life. Even the heavens seemed to favor Ye Qilan. How could he be at peace with that?

"Is it because you remember what happened in past lives that you are even more unwilling to lose to Ye Qilan again? Xiao Ji, it’s not like that. To tell you the truth, whether in past lives or this life, I’ve never loved you. My feelings for you are only sibling affection. When I face you, I don’t feel the kind of heart-fluttering love. Do you understand? If I loved you, no matter how capable Ye Qilan is, he couldn’t have separated us." Su Hongxing’s voice snapped Xiao Ji out of his drifting thoughts.

He looked at Su Hongxing for a while and shook his head, saying, "That’s not true. There’s a kind of affection in this world that grows over time. If it weren’t for Ye Qilan, you would definitely marry me. You can’t deny that since you understood feelings, you’ve considered me your future husband. If it weren’t for Ye Qilan, you would marry me, wouldn’t you?"

Regardless of whether Su Hongxing had romantic love for him, she had family love, friendship, and admiration for him. These are all forms of affection.

Put together, these feelings carry enough weight.

"Look at you, you’re getting stuck on this again. There aren’t so many ’what ifs’ in the world. In fact, you married Zhou Luhe first, and I married Ye Qilan later. Whether or not we were childhood sweethearts, we ended up apart." Su Hongxing replied in a low voice.

Imagining those things that never happened has no meaning, it only adds unnecessary trouble.

"Xingxing, you say I will never figure it out, never be at peace, then what should I do?" Xiao Ji painfully closed his eyes.

He walked to the end of the road but still couldn’t let go of Su Hongxing. Does he love Su Hongxing too much? Or is it just that Su Hongxing is the trial he cannot overcome?

"Xiao Ji, it’s getting late, let’s go down the mountain," Su Hongxing changed the topic.

She was not Xiao Ji, she couldn’t understand the pain of his unfulfilled longing. And his pain all stemmed from her.

Xiao Ji followed behind Su Hongxing, his voice drifting, "Xingxing, it must be that I owe you too much from past lives, so I have come to repay you in this life. Have you ever thought that maybe there are more than just these three lifetimes between us?"

Perhaps before these three lives, they had been through many cycles of reincarnation.
