Chapter 968: They Weren’t a Good Match

“We could bring Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi with us to Ming City,” Chen Jiahang detailed his thoughts and plans. Then, he looked up at Yan Yan and studied every change of expression.

He Xiyan smiled and she felt the warmth from his hand slowly transmit to hers.

“Thank you, Jiahang,” she said softly. The corners of her lips curved into a wry smile.

She didn’t expect Jiahang to do so much for her even after she clearly told him that they were breaking up. She was also very touched that Jiahang’s father was willing to go the extra mile to help her.

However, she knew that some things weren’t as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi were already so big, so they might not be willing to move to Ming City to live with her.

“Yan Yan, please don’t leave without warning again. We…” Jiahang started but He Xiyan cut him off.

“There’s nothing between us any longer,” He Xiyan said softly. Her voice was so soft that she sounded as though she had squeezed it out from her throat.

“I’m sorry!” she said as she looked at Jiahang gratefully. She also looked extremely apologetic.

Chen Jiahang paused and he felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured all over him.

“Yan Yan…” he hurriedly stood up and walked around the table to come to her side. Then, he placed his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.

He Xiyan shook her head and closed her eyes to conceal the helplessness she felt.

“Jiahang…” she said as she turned to look at him. “I’m really sorry…”

She apologized once more. She didn’t know how else she could express how sorry she felt.

Boom…

Chen Jiahang felt as though his head had just been hit by a hammer and the booming sound echoed throughout his head.

Yan Yan’s words made his head feel like it was being torn apart.

“What are you worried about?” he asked anxiously as he stared at her.

He Xiyan continued to shake her head. She wasn’t worried about a specific issue but she knew that if her relations.h.i.+p with Jiahang would not turn out well even if they continued their relations.h.i.+p. She didn’t want to hurt him.

“Jiahang, forget about me. We are truly not compatible,” she said softly. Then, she turned away as though she didn’t want him to see the anguish and sorrow on her face.

Chen Jiahang froze and his face gradually turned pale under the lamplight. He reached out to hold her but He Xiyan turned away the moment he stretched out his hand.

“Let’s eat, Jiahang,” He Xiyan said as she pointed at the dishes on the table that were still steaming hot. She picked up a piece of meat and started to eat.

Chen Jiahang didn’t feel at eating at all. His excitement had faded and he now felt extremely upset.

He couldn’t believe that Yan Yan had said that they were not compatible. They had spent three years living together and spent more than 1,000 days and nights with each other. They had never once fought and now that their living conditions had improved and that they have both recovered their memories, she said that they weren’t compatible.

He Xiyan placed some food in his bowl when she saw that he wasn’t eating.

She took a few more mouthfuls of food.

“Yan Yan, tell me what you truly feel. I told you before, your past doesn’t matter to me,” he said. He would try his best to allay her worries. They could live happily together as long as she was willing to trust him. He would also treat her two children extremely well.
