"Don't worry, I won't chase you!" Xiao Muzhou whispered.
"But your heart is not here!"
The speaker is Xiaoping.
But she is also Helianxin.
"Jin Rong doesn't suspect that I'm lying at all. Mu Zhou, do you think I'm particularly powerful?" Her eyes were dim, but she still pretended to be relaxed and asked.
Xiao Muzhou nodded gently, "You have always been great!"
"But men should prefer simple women!" Although Helianxin was smiling, her smile looked so sad.
"That's not the case!" Xiao Muzhou wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.
He couldn't even deceive himself, so how could he deceive Ah Xin.
"Mu Zhou, do you think I'm annoying?" He Lianxin asked suddenly.
"I will never have such thoughts, Ah Xin, please believe me!" Xiao Muzhou replied seriously.
"If I were really just Xiaoping, you would never have spoken to me in that tone just now. I know that you must think that I am deeply scheming, and that's why you act so impatient?"
Xiao Muzhou stood there, unable to argue for a moment.
Ah Xin is the person who knows her best, so how could she not notice something strange about him?
"sorry!"
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I must make you sad, right?" Xiao Muzhou didn't dare to look into her eyes again.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Xiao Muzhou nodded with difficulty.
"You're right, I'm really sad, but what makes me sad the most is not your tone, nor is it the fact that you already have another woman in your heart!"
Helian Xin turned around so that he could not see the painful expression on her face.
"What is that?" Xiao Muzhou suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Mu Zhou, are you suspecting that I will do something bad to Jin Rong?"
Helian Xin didn't give Xiao Muzhou a chance to answer at all, "Whether you admit it or not, I'm sure you no longer trust me as you did before!"
Xiao Muzhou's expression was stiff and he couldn't refute at all.
Ah Xin was indeed the person who understood him best. She was right. When faced with matters related to Jin Rong, he could no longer trust Ah Xin as unconditionally as before.
"My mother-in-law is right, nothing is forever, the only one I can rely on is myself!"
These words contain too many complex emotions, including helplessness, sadness, unwillingness, and forced acceptance and compromise.
"sorry!"
Xiao Muzhou didn't want to say these three words, but these were the only three words he could say at the moment.
"If I really want to hurt Jin Rong, will you break up with me for her?"
Helian Xin smiled bitterly. She was really stupid. Even at this time, she still stubbornly wanted to know the answer.
"I won't break up with you, but..."
Xiao Muzhou did not continue.
"But you will never forgive me from now on, right?" Helian Xin asked holding his breath.
"Yes." Xiao Muzhou didn't want to deceive Ah Xin, "Jin Rong is innocent. She has never hurt anyone, so I hope she can be safe and smooth throughout her life."
"Your wife is gentle and kind, but I am not. I will do anything to achieve my goal, even sacrificing innocent people!" Helian Xin desperately tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, but these emotions were not under his control at all, and he was about to lose control. To burst out completely.
"You must have secretly compared me with Jin Rong. Yes, I am cruel and calculating. Do you now feel that it is unbearable to be tempted by me?" He Lianxin asked sternly.
Some words will definitely affect the relationship between them, but no one can guarantee that they can always remain absolutely sane.
"I really didn't!"
Xiao Muzhou felt more and more heartbroken. He was the one who deserved the blame the most. It was him who caused Ah Xin such pain.
Helian Xin still turned her back to Xiao Muzhou, her shoulders kept shaking, "Do you think I want this? But what can I do? I will never be able to be like Jin Rong in my life. I'm sorry Mu Zhou, it's me I let you down!"
She was really tired, not physically, but mentally!
"Don't think so. I understand your pain, so I won't force you to make changes! As for what you said, I really never care. I just like you. No matter what kind of person you are, I They will all be attracted to you!"
He had the urge to hug Ah Xin, but this was outside, and he couldn't be emotional. If others saw it, it would have a very bad impact on Ah Xin.
"That was before, what about now? Do you still like me?"
"I like it, but this kind of liking is different from before!"
Xiao Muzhou has never deceived Ah Xin, he did before, he did now, and he will do so in the future!
"What's different?"
People are really ridiculous sometimes. Even though they know the answer will make them heartbroken, they still persist like a moth to a flame.
"In my heart, you and Ah Xuan will always be the most special people, so I will treat you as well as I treat Ah Xuan," Xiao Muzhou paused and then said, "A Xin, whether it's Ah Xuan or you, I will try my best to fulfill your wishes!"
Helian Xin finally couldn't hold back the tears that she had been holding back for a long time.
Doesn't Mu Zhou mean that he just regards himself as his best friend now?
Her worries were indeed true, they really could never go back.
In fact, Xiao Muzhou also made up his mind after Jin Rong left.
He and Ah Xin had many happy memories, but unfortunately they ended up with regrets. During those countless tortured days and nights, it was Jin Rong who allowed himself to gradually overcome his sadness and regain hope for life.
Therefore, it was difficult for him not to be attracted to Jinrong.
"I should have thought of it earlier, but I still can't help but have extravagant hopes. Now I know the answer. Although I feel sad, I still want to thank you for being honest with me."
Helianxin forced a smile. She was never the kind of woman who only cried.
Although it was not easy to take it up and let it go, she had to work hard to let go of her obsession and the precious relationship she once had with Mu Zhou.
Thinking about it carefully, the reality is actually not as bad as she imagined!
Her husband is powerful and truly loves her.
And Mu Zhou also met a gentle and kind-hearted woman.
Everything in life cannot go as you wish. Since their endings have already been decided, now is the best destination for them.
Those beautiful memories will be treasured deep in my heart forever, and nothing else.
Life must go on after all, they just changed their identities to protect each other.
Helian Xin has her own self-esteem and pride, so she will never let herself become the kind of woman who only wants to be jealous and thus completely lose herself.
"I'm sorry, Ah Xin!"
"No need to say sorry!" Helianxin turned around, looking completely different from before.
People can't always let themselves fall into sadness. Helian Xin understands that love is not everything in life, so she continued: "I chose to give up first, so you don't have to feel sorry at all, and if I were you, I would definitely It’s inevitable that you will fall in love with Jin Rong, Mu Zhou, I take back what I said before, you really married a very good woman!"
"Thank you."
Xiao Muzhou felt much more relaxed.
He thought Ah Xin would hate and complain about him. Xiao Muzhou was really afraid of this happening, but he didn't expect Ah Xin to be so open-minded!
He knew Ah Xin, so he could be sure that this was her truth.
But there is nothing surprising. The Ah Xin he liked was originally the kind of outstanding woman who was open-minded and never let love and love constrain her steps.
So even if Ah Xin fell in love with him, he would never let himself affect her decision.
"Mu Zhou," Helian Xin suddenly frowned, "I just asked Jin Rong about your relationship. Why did she say you are just good friends?"
This puzzled Helian Xin.
The reason why she wanted to see Jin Rong was not only because she was curious about what kind of woman Mu Zhou cared about, but also because she wanted to confirm for herself whether she was worthy of entrusting Mu Zhou to her.
Now it seems that Jin Rong is indeed worth it, but her relationship with Mu Zhou is not as simple as she thought.
Xiao Muzhou sighed heavily, "Jin Rong has always had someone he likes in his heart, but it's a pity that that person has a heart disease, so he can't bring more promises and future to Jin Rong. Jin Rong knows what he is thinking, and in order to make him feel more relaxed, , so I chose to leave the Western Territory alone. Although Jinrong has been working hard to live, I always feel as if I have lost something important in her. I didn’t know the reason until recently! I have never concealed my love for you from Jinrong. love, so she always thought that she and I got married because we were forced to do so. In Jinrong’s heart, we are more like friends who share the same problem than we are husband and wife!"
So that's it.
Helian Xin could not calm down for a long time.
She and Jin Rong were both in Tianya, and were in a similar situation, so her affection for Jin Rong increased unknowingly.
"Have you told her about your feelings for her?"
Xiao Muzhou shook his head gently, "If she knew, she would definitely try her best to alienate me!"
"Maybe she also has feelings for you in her heart, but she just doesn't dare to admit it, so she keeps running away." He Lianxin immediately advised.
She still has no way to just treat Mu Zhou as a friend, but Helianxin believes that one day she will do it.
"Really?" Xiao Muzhou looked at her steadily and said unconfidently.
"I don't know, but who can be sure that there is no such possibility! Mu Zhou, don't worry, I will try to persuade her more as Xiaoping. Maybe one day she will be able to let go of the past like you!"
"Thank you, Ah Xin!" Xiao Muzhou said with sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome. I also hope that we can all start a new life well!"
Mu Zhou had helped her and Ah Xuan too much, so she should do more for Mu Zhou.
