My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

The summer evening breeze was both scorching and warm, causing a faint stinging sensation, much like how Su Hongxing was feeling.

How she wished Xiao Ji could deny what she just said, tell her that he did not abandon her because he wanted to reach higher grounds.

For a very long time, Xiao Ji was the most important person to her. His existence meant more to her than anyone else. He once gave her a beautiful love, as well as a missing familial love.

If it wasn’t for Xiao Family taking her in, she has no idea where she would be now.

But Xiao Ji, for all of his significance, had easily let go of her hand.

“I hated myself at the start, and I hated her. After that incident, I came back and couldn’t face you. The business was just starting up, the company was doing badly and we were on the brink of bankruptcy. During my moments of helplessness, Zhou Luhe was there for me. That was when I realized, power and money were powerful. A simple sentence from Zhou Peng pulled me out of the mire…”

Xiao Ji tried to light a cigarette, but his hand was trembling uncontrollably, unable to get it lit.

Su Hongxing took the lighter out of his hand and lit the cigarette for him.

Xiao Ji took two hard drags – too hastily, he choked and tears streamed down his face.

Su Hongxing looked at the man in front of her, somehow familiar yet foreign, her thoughts lost in the distance.

What was she doing when Xiao Ji’s company was in trouble? Her university years either second or third, were spent carefree and worry-free.

Every time she would call Xiao Ji, he would say he was busy. If she hadn’t been so careless, she might have realized that he was drifting away from her.

People’s changes always leave traces, but she was too engrossed in the dream he wove for her.

“Zhou Luhe also told me that as long as I marry her, not only can I make my mark in the business industry, but I can also enter politics. Then the Zhou Family and the Cao Family would back me up.”

Xiao Ji exhaled a ring of smoke: “Like this, I betrayed you again and again. Under your unsuspecting watch, I secretly colluded with Zhou Luhe, engaging in ignominious schemes. Xingxing, you’re right. I’m too filthy, I’m unworthy of you.”

“Xiao Ji, let’s leave the past behind. I wish you a promising future and a brilliant career.”

Another taxi stopped beside Su Hongxing. This time, Xiao Ji did not stop her.

As the taxi was about to drive away, Xiao Ji suddenly shouted, “Xingxing, give me two years, just wait two years…”

He ran behind the taxi, oblivious to whether Su Hongxing heard him or not.

The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror and saw a man chasing the car. He advised Su Hongxing, “Miss, the guy who was just here is your boyfriend, isn’t he? He’s chasing after you.”

If the car did not stop, the man would not be able to catch up.

Su Hongxing took one last glance at Xiao Ji’s diminishing figure in the distance, as it eventually blended into the iridescent neon lights, becoming indiscernible.

“He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my sister’s husband,” Su Hongxing murmured silently.

Strangely, she couldn’t produce a single tear.

Even though she was quite emotional, even though there was still some reluctance, she would not shed another tear for Xiao Ji again.

The driver, having experienced many things himself, noticed something was off, “In this life, everyone encounters a few tough situations, a few heartless people. It’ll be fine once you get through it.”

Su Hongxing curled her lips into a wan smile, finding truth in his words.

There’s no hurdle in this world one can’t get over. When she learned of Xiao Ji’s marriage to Zhou Luhe, she was devastated. And now, she can face it with equanimity.
