Chapter 519 - 519 Destined

519 Destined

After Xing Chen and Xing Xiaoya returned home after treatment, Xing Chen rushed to Qiao An’s room immediately. However, he didn’t see Qiao An. He only saw that the originally warm bedroom was empty.

At that moment, Xing Chen’s strength seemed to have been sucked away and he collapsed on the chair.

The aunt next door walked in silently and walked up to Xing Chen with old steps. She patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “Xing Chen, although Qiao An is from the city, I see that she’s kind-hearted and beautiful. It’s your blessing that she likes you. You shouldn’t be cold to her time and time again.”

Xing Chen pulled his hair in pain.

!!

The aunt continued, “Qiao An asked me to send you a message. She said that you can’t have both. Think about it.”

After saying that, the aunt shook her head regretfully and left.

Xing Chen’s heart was filled with disappointment. The colorful world instantly returned to its former dimness.

Qiao An had really misunderstood him. He had never been so greedy as to want the best of both worlds. In fact, he only liked Qiao An and couldn’t wait to build his own home with her. It was just that after living with Xing Xiaoya for four years, he had long treated her as his sister. He couldn’t just watch her court death.

His biggest failure was his indecision. He didn’t know how to find the balance between Qiao An and Xiao Ya.

Xing Chen sat for a while and walked out of the room Qiao An had rented. Xing Xiaoya looked at him from afar. She had never seen him so dispirited and sad. An uneasiness rose in her heart.

“Brother Xing Chen,” she called timidly.

Xing Chen glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.

Instead, he locked herself in the room.

Xing Xiaoya was so afraid that she cried. She ran to Xing Chen’s room and pounded on the door. “Brother Xing Chen, I know you’re very sad. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have tricked you. Can you forgive me? I won’t do this again.”

Xing Chen opened the door and said weakly, “Xing Xiaoya, leave me alone.”

He called her by her full name, but his tone was very indifferent, making Xing Xiaoya feel even more terrified. She knew very well that she probably could not keep Xing Chen.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried. “Brother Xing Chen, I beg you, don’t abandon me.”

Xing Chen pushed her away. “Xing Xiaoya, we’re not related by blood. Now that you’re older, you should learn to keep a distance. You can’t have physical contact with me again.”

Xing Xiaoya’s heart sank as she looked at the heartless man. “Do you not want me anymore?”

Xing Chen said, “I said that I would take care of you for the rest of your life to repay your father for saving my life. However, don’t misinterpret my intentions. I’m just providing you with financial assistance or helping you solve your problems when you’re sick and in trouble. I’m not marrying you.”

Xing Xiaoya was exasperated. “What’s the difference between you and an ingrate?”

Xing Chen’s eyes were immediately covered in ice and snow. “Your father only saved me. He didn’t buy me. Xing Xiaoya, I still have my freedom.”

Xing Xiaoya had always loved Xing Chen. In the past, Xing Chen had never bickered with her. This made Xing Xiaoya misunderstand. She thought that Xing Chen was still easily affected by her words.

But today, Xing Chen’s attitude was unprecedentedly unyielding. She took his change out on Qiao An. “Do you think you can stop relying on me because you have Qiao An backing you up? Do you think you can hurt me without restraint and leave me?”

Xing Chen frowned and looked at her speechlessly.

He wanted to turn around and leave, not to argue with such an unreasonable person. However, when he thought of Qiao An, he felt that he had to cut off Xing Xiaoya’s twisted and deformed thoughts.

“Xing Xiaoya, have you forgotten what I said to you the first time you confessed to me?” Xing Chen’s tone was cold and threatening.

Xing Xiaoya suddenly remembered that when Xing Chen first arrived at their house, she had hugged him and said that she wanted to marry him.

What did Xing Chen answer her that day?

He told her and Father Xing that he would compensate them for saving his life, but he would never marry Xing Xiaoya. This was because Xing Xiaoya was not his type at all. His marriage in this life would never be aggrieved. He would only find a like-minded soul mate.

He told Xing Xiaoya never to have delusions about him. He even said that he was mysophobic and could not kiss a girl he did not love.

However, Xing Xiaoya was moved by his elegance as she spent time with him. She still loved him to the core.

She thought he would slowly fall in love with her, but it seemed that he didn’t.

Xing Chen looked at her with deep helplessness. She even caught a hint of disgust in that helplessness.

“Brother Xing Chen, do you hate me?” she asked with a trembling voice.

Xing Chen looked at her. “Do you want the truth?”

Xing Xiaoya swallowed.

She suddenly changed her mind.

Xing Chen’s expression was self-evident. He hated her, but he was bounded by duty.

“Xing Xiaoya, find someone to marry. Don’t wait for me. It will be futile.”

With that, Xing Chen turned around and went into the house to pack his things.

Xing Xiaoya was afraid. “Brother Xing Chen, where are you going?”

“I’m going to the neighboring village to volunteer.”

“No, that’s too dangerous.”

Xing Chen suddenly glared at her and gritted his teeth. “Do you know? To me, without Qiao An, life can be long or short. But I have to do something meaningful.”

He finished packing and left without hesitation.

Xing Xiaoya fell to the ground dejectedly and wailed.

Until now, she didn’t regret that she had broken Qiao An and Xing Chen up. She just hated Qiao An for coming to Xing Chen and taking her Brother Xing Chen away.

In the neighboring village, makeshift shacks had been built for confined patients. Many volunteer doctors were busy saving patients with unexplained fevers.

As for Qiao An, she put on her antibacterial suit and worked her way through the volunteers. Only high-intensity work could make her forget the troubles Xing Chen brought her.

However, who would have thought that they were destined to meet? Qiao An finally met Xing Chen.

When he gave the patient the needle, it was Qiao An who passed him the equipment.

Xing Chen caught a glimpse of Qiao An. Although she was wearing heavy antibacterial clothing, he recognized her beautiful, ethereal eyes. At that moment, he was pleasantly surprised.

But after the surprise was a huge worry. “Qiao An, why are you here? It’s too dangerous. Go back quickly.”
