"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm no longer the crippled person who couldn't stand up before, they can't do anything to me," Di Bei Chen said nonchalantly and recklessly. Three years was enough time for him to sort out many things, and what used to be important to him was no longer important now.
"But..."
Before Han Xi Ling could speak, Di Bei Chen interrupted her, "No need to say more. I've already made my decision."
"Then, are you really determined to be with that woman? She's just an ordinary miss from a general's mansion. There's an insurmountable gap between you two, you're simply not compatible."
At this moment, Han Xi Ling no longer concealed her inner thoughts. She could hardly believe that Di Bei Chen would actually fall for such an ordinary girl.
"What is compatibility, and what is incompatibility?" Di Bei Chen retorted. "In my heart, she is the best."
No one could understand Bai Li Hong Zhuang's position in his heart.
For more than a decade, he had never felt a spark for any woman, but from the moment he laid eyes on Bai Li Hong Zhuang, he was captivated.
Such a cunning yet kind-hearted woman, her resilience, effort, and determination were clearly imprinted in his eyes.
He had no previous connection with her, but Bai Li Hong Zhuang was willing to risk her life to save him.
So far, he believed that the only thing Xuan Yuan Yu Tian did right was arranging the marriage between him and Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
In fact, even if Xuan Yuan Yu Tian hadn't arranged it, he would have done everything in his power to make Bai Li Hong Zhuang his wife.
Because she had a place in his heart.
Once his heart was occupied by Bai Li Hong Zhuang, no one else could replace her. She was the best in his eyes.
Seeing Di Bei Chen's resoluteness, Han Xi Ling's expression turned ugly. "Even if the Sect Master returns, he won't approve of your decision."
Di Bei Chen shook his head. "I believe my master will support my choice."
Just as Di Bei Chen was about to leave, Han Xi Ling suddenly spoke up, "Then, what about me?"
Di Bei Chen's figure paused, and he slowly turned around.
"Di Big Brother, you know how I feel about you. Am I really inferior to Bai Li Hong Zhuang in your heart?" Han Xi Ling questioned.
She had liked Di Bei Chen since she was young, and although he had never said he liked her, no other woman had ever appeared by Di Bei Chen's side either.
So she had always believed that as long as she stayed by Di Bei Chen's side, he would eventually fall in love with her.
But now, after Di Bei Chen had been gone for just three years, everything had changed.
Did her decades of companionship with Di Bei Chen really mean less than the short time Bai Li Hong Zhuang spent with him?
"Xi Ling, I have always treated you as a younger sister, and you know that," Di Bei Chen's voice was low and serious. "The person I love is Hong Zhuang, and it's a completely different kind of affection."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Xi Ling's face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with hurt.
She could hardly believe that Di Bei Chen would say such decisive words to her.
"I don't want to waste your time, Xi Ling. You will always be my younger sister, and as for this kind of affection, don't place it on me anymore," Di Bei Chen said earnestly.
He didn't want to be ambiguous about this matter, as it wouldn't be fair to Hong Zhuang, nor would it be fair to Xi Ling.
Now, all he wanted was to be by Hong Zhuang's side and protect her well. He didn't want to see her even the slightest bit unhappy.
