When a trace of white surfaced on the horizon, Xia Wan was jolted awake from her nightmare.

Her cloudy eyes gradually became clear and bright. She bitterly smiled, feeling that reality was more torturous than a terrifying dream.

Thinking back carefully to all that had happened yesterday, Xia Wan's heart had even turned cold.

Because only after she had an argument with Tang Shaofeng did she realize that Tang Shaofeng did not believe her and thought that she was still thinking about Xiao Muting.

Raising her head, Xia Wan looked at Tang Shaofeng's bedroom with sadness in her eyes. Seeing that the door was opened, she wondered when the other party left.

Rubbing his sore shoulder, Xia Wan walked into the bedroom with her arms crossed.

After she finished bathing, she walked out of the room in her bathrobe. She still did not feel relaxed or comfortable.

This time, the scandal was so intense that she didn't dare to go out, didn't dare to go to the company, and became like a cowardly turtle.

However, even though she was guarding this ice-cold old house, she still felt rejection and fear. She didn't even dare to turn on the television, afraid of the criticism and criticism that would say that she had stepped out of the wall.

Thinking about how she had lost to Xiao Muting, Xia Wan felt such hatred. He hated that the other party had broken her original tranquility, hated that he had pulled her down from the bitter and lonely Purgatory.

"Why …" Xia Wan muttered. Her eyes were bloodshot and the fists on both sides of her body could not help but clench tightly.

Just as Xia Wan was deep in thought with grief, a guest appeared in the old house that made her feel pleasantly surprised.

Lu Yaoyao walked in with a normal expression, and stood in front of Xia Wan, sizing her up from top to bottom. Only then, a disdainful smile surfaced on her face.

The pleased expression on Xia Wan's face quietly faded, and when she touched the loathing in Lu Yaoyao's eyes, she secretly said to herself: What do you mean by watching the news, to interrogate her about her relationship with Xiao Muting? So, what was she daydreaming about? The other side wouldn't comfort her like before, when she was helpless.

"Xia Wan, don't you want to say something?" Lu Yaoyao looked at Xia Wan coldly, as if she was a stranger.

Xia Wan pursed her lips and laughed at herself as she raised the corner of her lips, "I will tell you whatever you want to know."

With a cold laugh, tears welled in Lu Yaoyao's eyes, as she fiercely ridiculed: "Xia Wan, how long are you going to keep pretending for? You should know what I want to know! Or perhaps, you think that I no longer have the qualifications to ask about your relationship with Xiao Muting? "

Biting his lip, Xia Wan said with difficulty: "What, that's not what I meant. I was hiding it from you previously, but I have my reasons."

Seeing Xia Wan's troubled expression, Lu Yaoyao looked away in disgust, no longer feeling heartache or sympathy.

"You have always known that I have a first love, but you have never seen her. That person is Xiao Muting." After confessing, Xia Wan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. At the same time, she fantasized that if she had not looked ahead and said it earlier, she might not have caused this series of misunderstandings.

Lu Yaoyao who was facing up against Xia Wan had a shocked expression, maybe he did not expect Xiao Muting to have such a relationship with him.

But even so, she still could not understand why Xia Wan was hiding everything from her.

The only explanation was that Xia Wan had never been able to forget about Xiao Muting and out of selfishness, she had only stopped her from developing a couple with her.

"So, this is the reason why you didn't let me be with Xiao Muting?" Lu Yaoyao suddenly glared at Xia Wan, her eyes sharp, as though she was going to pierce through everything and analyze Xia Wan's heart.

Not expecting Lu Yaoyao to think that way, Xia Wan was startled, and then, with an impatient expression: "What, why are you thinking that, of course not!"

With a cold snort, Lu Yaoyao raised his neck, and looked down at Xia Wan with a gaze full of contempt, "Come on Xia Wan, I still don't understand you. "Although I never knew who your first love was, I have seen how you were desperate for him. You dare to say that you don't love him?"

Being deceived, being trampled on, Lu Yaoyao did not hesitate to use even more vile words to repay Xia Wan, to deduce her intentions.

In her opinion, Xia Wan treated friendship as trash, and her feelings for Xiao Muting couldn't be compared to Xia Wan's selfishness that couldn't be exposed.

Even if Xia Wan was already married, this kind of preying on another man's selfishness was shameful and immoral, Xia Wan still did the same thing. How could Lu Yaoyao forgive her?

"What? Am I that despicable in your eyes?" If you ask me whether I love him or not, I can only say that I once loved him. Right now, there is only Tang Shaofeng in my heart! As for why you are willing to listen to the reason for concealing this matter, I will tell you. Xia Wan's eyes were filled with tears. She endured her grievances and wanted to break the misunderstanding with Lu Yaoyao.

After taking in a deep breath, Lu Yaoyao laughed coldly and mocked: "Then why don't you tell me about it? I really want to know, just what excuse do you want to use to cover up the truth!"

Seemingly anticipating that Lu Yaoyao would react in such a way, Xia Wan gently closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she calmed her good mood and quietly explained, "Back then when my father caused Xiao Muting's family to go bankrupt, his parents couldn't resist the pressure and chose to die. All you know about him is that he was my first love, and you didn't know that on the eve of our engagement, my life was going to take a huge turn for the better. "

Xia Wan's tone was indifferent, without the slightest ripple, as if she was telling the story of someone else.

Furthermore, Lu Yaoyao had never heard of all these sad memories.

Hence, her pupils trembled, but she didn't suspect anything. In the end, she still trusted Xia Wan in her heart. With her deep-rooted friendship, her first reaction was one of shock instead of doubt.

"It's a hatred between me and him, and of course we can't continue it. After we broke up, he hated Tang Shaofeng with me. Under Tang Shaofeng's protection, I slowly walked out from the shadow of my heartbreak and finally married Tang Shaofeng. "

After a short narration, Xia Wan's calm eyes were empty and lifeless.

Looking at this kind of Xia Wan, Lu Yaoyao felt angry and uncomfortable at the same time.

After smiling bitterly and sighing, Xia Wan continued, "When we first married Tang Shaofeng, we both didn't have confidence in our feelings for him. Do you remember when I came to your house drunk? It was because I advised you not to get close to Xiao Muting that broke his heart. He thought that I still loved Xiao Muting. "

Hearing that, Lu Yaoyao's body trembled, her face pained as she lowered her eyes, no longer having the courage to look straight at Xia Wan.

"Xiao Muting has been taking revenge on me, you and Tang Shaofeng have no idea. I don't want to disrupt the brotherly relationship between him and Tang Shaofeng, and also don't want to hurt your pride. I also don't want Tang Shaofeng to misunderstand my intention of stopping you.

Finished speaking, Xia Wan did not make a sound, her gaze was fixated on the ground.

After revealing all of her grievances and depression, she quietly waited for Lu Yaoyao's response, whether it was doubt or complaint.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao's emotions were in a mess. She, who had a dejected expression, didn't know what to say.

She came to punish her good friend with anger, and when she saw the news, she was furious, repressed, and resentful.

However, when she heard the whole story, she could no longer get angry. She even felt that she was the foolish and selfish one.

She had always only looked at the surface of the matter, and hadn't delved too deeply into the reason behind it. She had used her rebellious heart to resist Xia Wan's protection.

Seeing that Lu Yaoyao was quiet for a long time, Xia Wan looked at her sincerely, "Can you forgive me?"

Pushing up his eyelids, Lu Yaoyao's eyes were filled with tears, "I've already fallen in love with him."

Turning around, Lu Yaoyao said with a bitter tone, "Xia Wan, although I said that it's not your fault, I can only tell you now that I don't hate you. I understand what you're hiding from me, but you shouldn't choose for me without saying anything. "

"Just in case! What if your guess is wrong? What if he doesn't come to me as a means of harming you? Xia Wan, this time, you are too kind. I have my own judgement and the ability to protect myself. So, you should think about how to save Tang Shaofeng first. After all, you can't explain those photos clearly. "

As he watched Lu Yaoyao leave, Xia Wan laughed and cried, "You are indeed just like him, unable to forget those photos …"

Lu Yaoyao's accusations before she left, had caused her to sink into an endless reflection.

Indeed, if she had ignored it from the beginning, not guessing Xiao Muting's motives, not stopping him from making any actions, and not getting revenge against him, she would have ended up as a woman who could marry anyone.

However, if she was given another chance, she wouldn't sit back and do nothing.

She understood Lu Yaoyao's feelings, love was blind and there was no reason, so Lu Yaoyao was willing to give it up, even if Xiao Muting had a conspiracy, the other party would still want to be the one to find out.

Not only had she destroyed her friendship, she had also made Tang Shaofeng's heart feel like dying embers. This kind of loss was not worth it, she was the one who asked for it and could not be blamed.

With this thought, Xia Wan became like a walking corpse. Every night, when Tang Shaofeng returned home, he would ruthlessly ravage her.

Three days later, Xia Wan dragged his luggage and left. On the tea table, she left a note for Tang Shaofeng, which only had one line: Why must we stay together?

Feeling that he had used her body to pay for her crimes, Xia Wan wanted to separate from Tang Shaofeng. Calm down for a bit, and so she returned home.

However, even though the rumors were spread like wildfire, the Xia Clan was not a peaceful place.

Seeing that Xia Wan came back with some luggage, Grandma Xia wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she did not ask anything and only asked the servant to clean up Xia Wan's room.

"Yo!" Was he driven out by Tang Shaofeng? I already told you that once you get married, you won't be single. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, then of course Tang Shaofeng won't be able to tolerate it. " Xia Xue gloated as she sat on the sofa and ridiculed Xia Wan, the corners of her eyes revealing her complacency.

"Xia Xue! "Is it not chaotic enough recently?!" Seeing that Xia Wan was not retaliating in any way that was rarely seen, Grandma Xia scolded Xia Xue harshly. She did not want her family to become as chaotic as they were outside.

Although Xia Xue was scolded, she was still smiling merrily. When she looked her mother in the eye, both mother and daughter had the expression of adding insult to injury.
