C1 Maybe It's Time for Me to Leave

Book I Fate Wheel

At midnight, in a small exquisite villa that was just outside the suburbs, a woman in pajamas walked towards the window step by step. She opened the curtain and looked outside with a dull expression.

The clock on the wall had silently conveyed the message that it was already late at night. The woman was obsessed with the concrete road outside the window, but there was still no sound. She pulled the curtain shut and sat back on the bed.

Will he come? Or not? She kept asking herself, Maybe he'll never come back here again.

He had not come to her every day for more than a year, but every time he had stayed all night, lying by her side until dawn, it had been the only thing that made her happy. However, she also knew that no matter how much she loved him and stayed by his side for a long time, his wife's position would not be something that she, as a lowly person, could take on. Furthermore, she had never asked him to do so before; she only wished to silently stay by his side.

However, how long can this relationship last? One month, two months...

Perhaps, it was today. Perhaps, it was now.

She recalled the news on TV that he was going to marry Min Wei. Her heart ached, as if a huge hole had been torn open in it. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Maybe it really was time for her to leave.

As she thought about it, her expression became gloomy. She rested her forehead on the bed and sighed lightly.

After a long while, the sound of a car whistle could be heard outside the door, causing her heart to tighten. Not long later, she heard a crunching sound as the door was pushed open and a tall figure appeared at the door. It was the man she had been waiting for all night, Ye Ming Xuan.

"You're here." She tried to suppress her impulse to run towards him, forcing a smile on her face. She slowly stepped forward and took the coat from his wrist.

"Yes." Ye Ming Xuan pulled open his collar as he replied indifferently.

"Hungry? Would you like me to prepare some food for you? " Xia Wanxin's small hand rested on his chest as she took off his clothes.

"No need." He replied indifferently.

"Then I'll help you put in some hot water. You can soak in a bath later and you'll feel much better." Xia Wan took off his tie and undid two buttons.

His bronzed skin made her cheeks blush, and she glanced at him, wanting to turn away and slip into the bathroom.

"I still prefer for you to accompany me in washing." Ye Ming Xuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. He glared at her as he faced her.

"I —" Xia Wan was a bit surprised, but she couldn't shake him off. She couldn't utter a word.

The corner of Ye Ming Xuan's mouth curled up as he pulled down her belt, not allowing any rejection.

"Ah!"

Under the blurry light, Ye Ming Xuan turned around and lazily laid on the bed. His entire body was covered with sweat, but he still had a carefree smile on his face.

He embraced the petite woman beside him, then gave her a gentle kiss on her pink cheek. "Baby, you're so delicious."

Xia Wanxin, who had her eyes closed, seemed to enjoy his light kiss. However, who knew how much pain her heart felt at this very moment?

Perhaps she really loved him too much. She hid all of her pain and sorrow, not allowing him to discover the slightest change on her face.

Xia Wanxin resisted the pain in her heart and forced a smile. "Really?" As long as you like it. "

At that moment, a few ringing sounds of a phone rang out from the pocket of his jacket.

Ye Ming Xuan frowned slightly. He could tell who the owner was the moment he heard the bell ring. He smiled at the woman and said, "Darling, you go ahead and sleep. I'm going to take a bath first."

"Mm, go ahead." A sweet smile appeared on Xia Wan's face as she nodded.

When Ye Ming Xuan got out of bed, he grabbed his jacket and walked towards the bathroom.

When the sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom, the smile on Xia Wanxin's face gradually disappeared as tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes.

She knew, of course, that it was his fiancée who had rung. She also understood that she shouldn't have any more extravagant hopes, but her heart was already involuntarily falling in love with this man.

In the bathroom, Ye Ming's flirtatious voice could be heard.

"Darling, don't cry, I'll go look for you right now, just wait for me at home."

"Darling, don't be sad, wait for me to come back, I will slowly –"

"Ah?" "I hate you."

Although the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom, Xia Wanxin, who was lying on the bed, could still hear everything clearly. She closed her eyes in pain and raised her head, trying to force the tears back into her eyes.

If she could start all over again, she would rather never have met him or fallen in love with him.

Why did fate tie the two of them together?
