Chapter 231: He still loves her
" Chi, I am so glad that I saw you today. I have been looking for you in the village but alas no one lets me meet you, it's like fate that I saw you here." Fang Chi lowered his head, afraid that if he continued to look at Mu Yuxi's doting' expression he might really hurl his lunch. Mu Yuxi however, wasn't at all bothered by his silence, she smiled and crossed her arms over her chest as she continued to speak with a tone full of tenderness and her eyes brimming with affection" Did you like the small performance that I dedicated to you? I remember you used to play that song for me every now and then… I still remember how hard it was for you to learn Guqin but in the end, you learned that one song for me."

Was she seriously going to look over the fact that he had a fiancee and she was going to marry him in a month or so? And he had played that song for years! YEARS! Not once did Mu Yuxi appreciate it but now all of a sudden she felt like his songs were worth praising? Seriously?
What did he look like as a child? Or Fool' was stamped over his forehead?
Fang Chi wanted to beat someone to a pulp but as a mer, he couldn't fight against Mu Yuxi, her strength would easily overpower him even if he was taller than her. He lowered his head even further and put even more distance between the two of them" What are you trying to do here, miss Mu? We are strangers now.. you have a family now and so do I, please refrain yourself from speaking anything that shouldn't be spoken."
Upon receiving such an answer, Mu Yuxi's eyes dimmed but then she immediately put on a smile that was even more brilliant than before as she took a deep breath and looked at Fang Chi " I know you are angry with me, but Chi you have to understand that I have certain responsibilities too and which was why I couldn't come for you."
Fang Chi shot her an annoyed look trying to keep himself from swearing at Mu Yuxi's face. What did she mean by that he was angry at her? Yes, he was angry but that was years ago, his anger had long turned into disappointment and then even that disappointment was soon turned into a deep void which was later on filled by Yu Dong who showed him, what exactly he deserved and what he was missing out by falling for a deceptive yet pretty flytrap like Mu Yuxi.
Now, the anger was gone and so was the disappointment.. what was the point of all this? He took a deep breath and tried his best to speak as gently as possible despite feeling a burst of anger coursing in his veins..not because he was angry at her for abandoning him ... no, but for coming back to him like he was a garbage dump ground, who would take just any kind of a dump. " I think you are misunderstanding something, Miss Mu. It's true that I was once angry at you but that was when I was young and foolish, now I am mature enough to understand what fake promises' are, I won't fall for any of those again.. so please refrain from coming to meet me. I have a fiancé and I will be marrying her really soon, I don't want any kind of disruptions to happen because of some unnecessary misunderstandings."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMu Yuxi's breathing slowed down, there was a storm of emotions whirling in her heart as she looked at Fang Chi, her brows getting furrowed "Chi, you don't have to be like this. I know I let you down but I am back, aren't I? So why are you acting like this? I told you that I have many responsibilities and I-"
Fang Chi didn't look up instead he bit his lip until he tasted blood, he sucked in a breath and looked up at Mu Yuxi, with a gaze that one used while looking at a stranger. "yes, you had your responsibilities, you chose them and that's the end of the entire discussion, so why are you trying to look for me after so many years? That time has gone and so have my feelings, so why does it matter to me what responsibilities you had? Don't you have responsibilities now? And are you the only one who has responsibilities? I do too and I won't let you cause any exception to it."
" Fang Chi don't make a fuss!" Mu Yuxi's face contorted as her voice turned ferocious, her face that was originally good looking was contorted so viciously that Fang Chi took several steps back. Seeing him walk away from her infuriated Mu nod even more, she kicked herself off the door and strode towards him and grabbed his wrist " I know that you like me, Chi, you have liked me for eight years. How can you not like me anymore? Stop making trouble and accept me, do you even know that if you continue acting like this you will be married to Yu Dong!"
"And what's wrong with that?" Fang Chi wanted to smash open Mu Yuxi's head with a block of tofu, just how thick can one's skin can get? Still, liked him? He would rather like dog shit on the road than continue liking her, ever since she came into his life and he fell in love with her, Mu Yuxi had brought nothing but bad luck and pain to him! Why will he keep hanging on to her?" Listen up Mu Yuxi, I would rather marry a bitch than you, you ruined my life! And now that I finally got back on track, you are trying to interfere once again? Don't you think you are being too much?"
Mu Yuxi couldn't believe her ears, she never thought that Fang Chi would say such a thing to her, so she was even worse than a bitch to him now, this was what he was trying to say (a:n: he is saying exactly that), her grip on his wrists tightened as she snarled " Good, very good Chi … I will be looking forward to making you scream my name. But for now.." she pinched his chin lifting it up so that his face was angled in a way that she could kiss him… she closed her eyes and let her lips get close to his, they were just an inch away and Mu Yuxi felt a sense of triumph in her heart, see.. he still loved her, he was willing to let her kiss him but just as her lips were barely hovering away from Fang Chi – a loud smack resonated in the room and Mu Yuxi felt a stinging heat in her left cheek before she was pushed away..
