513 The Thorny Pursuit of Her Husband

The back mountain was vast and wide. Qiao An circled the mountain path for a long time and searched. She looked at the endless mountains and sighed. It would be really difficult to find Xing Chen.

But the thought of the man she loved hiding in these mountains made her feel motivated.

However, after trekking for most of the day, her stomach began to growl. Moreover, the sky was getting darker and darker. All kinds of wild animals began to howl around her. Qiao An suddenly felt terrified.

It seemed even harder to go down the mountain at this time.

Qiao An cried out in fear, “Xing Chen.”

Xing Xiaoya stayed in Xing Chen’s small wooden house, unwilling to leave. She stole glances at Xing Chen several times and hesitated.

“What do you have to say?” Xing Chen looked at her expressionlessly. He didn’t know if it was because he was tired or because he missed Qiao An so much that he looked haggard.

Xing Xiaoya slowly walked up to him and suddenly held his hand, her eyes filled with love.

“Brother Xing Chen, Qiao An has already left. You can’t be with her anymore. You’re not young anymore. Why don’t we get married tonight?”

Xing Chen was so frightened that he suddenly retracted her hand. He was very resistant. “Xiaoya, I’m sorry.”

After a moment of helplessness, he calmed down and said to Xing Xiaoya extremely sincerely, “Before Qiao An arrived, perhaps I had thought about staying here for the rest of my life and finding a girl in the mountains with whom to live a peaceful life. But after seeing Qiao An, I realized that it was impossible for me to marry a girl in the mountains because I don’t love them at all. If I married any woman, I would only harm her. I would be cold to her and unwilling to talk to her.”

“Xiaoya, I used to think it was my nature to be cold, but it’s not. When I saw Qiao An, I wanted to share a lot of things with her. If it weren’t for the fact that I was so different from her and my humility made me unable to speak, I would be willing to talk to her endlessly. Besides, I’m only willing to touch Qiao An.”

Xing Xiaoya listened to Xing Chen’s confession about Qiao An. She was in pain. “Brother Xing Chen, she won’t come back. She’s already left here to go where she belongs. Are you going to live in the pain of missing her for the rest of your life? You should decisively end this unrequited life.”

Xing Xiaoya suddenly ran up and hugged Xing Chen tightly. She choked and said, “Brother Xingchen, I don’t mind that you love another woman. Let’s get married. I’ll give myself to you tonight, okay?”

With that, Xing Xiaoya began to undo her clothes.

Xing Chen was furious. “Xing Xiaoya, I’ll only despise you for doing this.”

Xing Xiaoya trembled in fear at his powerful aura and stopped moving.

“You don’t have Qiao An anymore, and you’re unwilling to marry me. Then who will you spend the rest of your life with? Are you going to be alone for the rest of your life?”

XIng Chen looked sad. “Why not?”

Xing Xiaoya was furious. She covered her face and ran out crying.

The moment she pulled open the wooden door, a heart-wrenching wail suddenly came from outside.

“Xing Chen, where are you?”

Xing Xiaoya stopped.

Xing Chen looked even more shocked.

“Xiao Ya, did you hear someone call me?”

Xing Xiaoya was furious. “No.”

Xing Chen was thrilled. “It’s Qiao An’s voice, isn’t it?” He ran out like a madman.

Xing Xiaoya held him back. “Brother Xingchen, have you forgotten? Didn’t you live on the mountain to avoid her? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll play with you? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll despise you?”

Xing Chen looked at the night sky. Thinking of Qiao An being alone and afraid on this desolate mountain, he couldn’t care less.

“I have to find her. It’s not safe for her to be alone on this mountain.” Xing Chen pushed Xing Xiaoya aside and sprinted toward the source of the voice.

At this moment, Qiao An was covered in wounds and couldn’t move. The flashlight on her phone was so weak that it could only illuminate the road under her feet. Her body was covered in wounds cut by thorns.

She had been a strong woman, but she broke down and wailed at this moment.

When Xing Chen saw the blue light of the moving phone, he sprinted over. In the distance, he could hear Qiao An crying.

His heart ached.

“Qiao An.”

Qiao An froze.

She turned around in surprise. Xing Chen saw that her face was covered in mud and her tears had washed away some of the mud. She clearly looked so comical, but he felt depressed and guilty.

“Xing Chen.” Qiao An suddenly sprinted toward him.

She threw herself into his arms without hesitation and wiped her snot and tears on him.

Xing Chen was stunned. Then, for some reason, he hugged her tightly.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

Qiao An looked deeply aggrieved. “I came to find you. Why are you avoiding me? I like you. Is that adding to your troubles? Can you tell me what’s bothering you?”

She looked up with a teary face and said carefully, “Do you not like me? Xing Chen, try to like me, okay? Actually, I’m really likable.”

She was originally a strong-willed person, but now, she was so soft and cute as she begged for Xing Chen’s love. Xing Chen’s sealed heart instantly collapsed.

“Qiao An, you’re fine. Really. You’re fine.”

He said he wanted to. He wasn’t worthy of her.

But in the end, he held back. He wasn’t willing to show Qiao An his humility.

“Then why don’t you like me?” Her dark eyes were open; they were as innocent as a young girl’s, but the gloom and vicissitudes in them pierced him.

Xing Chen suddenly held her face and kissed her hard.

Qiao An smiled as she cried.

She tried to respond to him.

“What are you two doing?” Xing Xiaoya looked at the two people kissing passionately in front of her with red eyes. She thought that it was fortunate that she was here. Otherwise, with their deep love, who knew what would happen tonight?

At that time, it would be too late for regrets.

Xing Chen and Qiao An parted uncomfortably because of Xing Xiaoya’s interruption.

Xing Xiaoya said coldly, “Qiao An, I’ll send you down the mountain.”

Qiao An gripped Xing Chen tightly.

Xing Chen said, “It’s late. It’s not easy to walk down the mountain. She’s exhausted all her strength to come up. Let’s talk about it tomorrow at dawn.”

Xing Xiaoya said, “Then I won’t go down the mountain either.”

Xing Chen helped Qiao An walk toward the cabin.

Qiao An was exhausted. Xing Chen felt her exhaustion and knelt down. “Come up. I’ll carry you.”

Qiao An climbed onto his back excitedly.

Xing Xiaoya was jealous and said angrily, “Brother Xing Chen, I want you to carry me.”

Xing Chen said, “You’re used to mountain roads. Hang in there for a while.”

Xing Xiaoya was furious.
