But men have needs too, especially when a woman takes the initiative to climb into your bed and seduce you, that so-called willpower becomes bullshit. Over time, with a few whispered criticisms of Ouyang Xiasha each day, Ouyang Xiasha's grace in his eyes morphed into pretentiousness, her excellence into a violation of his dignity, and her demure persona into dullness, lacking in charm... The influence of Mu Qingchi's background played a part as well...
In Fu Xinyu's opinion, all that was good about Ouyang Xiasha turned bad, but to say there were no feelings at all would be a lie. So he just looked at Ouyang Xiasha, unsure whether he didn't know what to say or was contemplating what to say.
As for such a turn of events, Mu Qingchi was happy to see it, but the silence between the two individuals was not something she wished for. Wrapping the bedsheet around herself, she stepped forward, hooked her arm around Fu Xinyu's, and said weakly, "I'm sorry! Sasha, since you've seen it, I might as well tell you the truth! We've been together for over a year now, and we truly love each other. But seeing how much you love Xinyu, and you two had a relationship of thirteen years, and you are my best friend, I told Xinyu I was willing to be Xiao San, someone who cannot see the light, rather than to tell you. I just hoped you would be happy! Really, Xinyu didn't want it to end up like this either. We have thought about ending it, but you know how it goes with feelings; they're beyond our control! So we thought it best to keep it from you! Sasha, can you forgive us, please?"
"Sasha, I'm sorry. You know, sometimes a man has needs, we both drank too much that day! Over time, feelings developed! I've wronged you! Qingchi didn't do it on purpose, it's just that matters of the heart are really hard to define who comes first! So..." Fu Xinyu also seemed a bit at a loss for words.
Watching her former friend vividly describe the situation, Ouyang Xiasha laughed at herself mockingly. After all this time, it was she, Ouyang Xiasha, who had become the home-wrecker, the Xiao San! Mu Qingchi had become the noble one, and the wife was stepping aside for the mistress. They had already been together for more than a year; if it weren't for her parents' idea today, how long would they have kept it from her?
Looking at the man in front of her, his silence an admission, Ouyang Xiasha felt as if she had never known him, truly, men are creatures that think with their lower half!
Father Ouyang pulled his daughter aside, his face full of distress, and said, "Let's go! Let's call off this wedding. There's no point in saying more. Sasha, let's leave!"
Ouyang Xiasha nodded, supporting her infuriated Mother Ouyang, and turned towards the front door. Indeed! What use was there in saying more? What had happened had already happened. Staying here was only adding to her frustration, and it's not like she could kill him; why stay and make herself sad, make her parents look bad, and make relatives angry?
The Earth wouldn't stop spinning without someone, and tomorrow the sun would still rise in the east and set in the west. She, Ouyang Xiasha, had her own pride too!
As she neared the front door, Ouyang Xiasha suddenly turned, took a key from her bag, placed it on the shoe cabinet by the door, and walked towards her parents.
"Sasha, I… you…" Fu Xinyu suddenly seemed nervous. He felt like he was about to lose something very important to him!
"If life were but as it is at first meeting!" Ouyang Xiasha left him with just that one sentence. Then she walked out the door without looking back.
Muttering these words to himself, Fu Xinyu stood there for a long time, stunned…
