The Xu Yisen in her impression was a cold and indifferent man, except for his family and the Xia Yuge he liked, she had never seen him show any curiosity or concern for anyone or anything else.
Xu Yisen naturally understood her aning, he glanced sideways towards Qin Muni.
The golden sunlight shone into his dark pupils, which were usually deep as the sea, but at this mont were as clear and bright as a stream.
His eyes reflected Qin Muni’s calm and nonchalant expression, with a rare trace of tenderness faintly flowing in the depths of his pupils.
"I’m only curious about your matters."
The unexpected response caused Qin Muni’s steps to suddenly falter.
Xu Yisen also stopped; his eyes lingered on the side profile of Qin Muni, with a gentle softness like water carried in the delicate strokes of his brows.
"Thank you for caring about so much, but even as good friends, so boundaries still need to be defined."
Qin Muni’s voice was gentle and lodious, shattering the ambiguous atmosphere Xu Yisen had just created with a few simple sentences, and her response directly confined Xu Yisen within the realm of friendship.
As the last word fell, she caught a glimpse of Xu Yisen slightly parting his thin lips as if to say sothing.
Fearing she would hear sothing she couldn’t accept, she hastily interrupted him, changing the topic: "By the way, why did you upload the photos of us dining to Weibo?"
"I accidentally uploaded it."
Qin Muni continued to walk, unable to resist giving him a sidelong glance as she heard Xu Yisen’s nonchalant answer.
How careless must one be to make such a mistake.
She teased, "Aren’t you afraid Xia Yuge will be unhappy?"
"Yu Ge and I are just good friends."
"Pfft," Qin Muni snorted with laughter, finding his answer perfunctory.
Just good friends? If it were really that simple, she wouldn’t have divorced him.
The significance of Xia Yuge’s position in his heart was sothing Qin Muni, who had been in love with him for many years, was naturally keenly aware of.
Xu Yisen knew well that Qin Muni had completely misunderstood his relationship with Xia Yuge. Yet he wasn’t in a hurry to explain it to her now because he knew she wouldn’t believe him anyway, only thinking he was quibbling, so he changed the topic.
"You don’t have to pay attention to the comnts from netizens."
Has the matter of her arguing with netizens already blown up for everyone to know?
"For the past three years, I bore the halo of Mrs. Xu, and every move I made represented the face of the Xu Family. So in public, even smiling had to be done cautiously, fearing I might unintentionally bring sha to the Xu Family, tarnishing the Xu Family’s reputation.
But now, I am no longer Mrs. Xu. I want to live freely, without reservation, doing what I want to do, saying what I want to say.
I don’t care how netizens perceive . How they see is none of my business, but I hate how public opinion always leans towards you. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one who made mistakes, yet I’m always the one being blad."
Qin Muni’s tone was as calm as the sea before a storm, without any ripples, yet inexplicably unsettling.
Xu Yisen gazed ahead, yet his mind was filled with countless thoughts.
For the past three years, he had never taken the ti to consider Qin Muni because she always reassured him. After marriage, she reined in her pre-wedding antics, becoming so gentle and elegant that even he was surprised.
Although she still occasionally caused so minor troubles, she always managed to easily resolve them herself, without needing his intervention at all.
Only now did he fully realize that her true nature was to be lively and mischievous, and all those restraints were nothing but sacrifices she made out of love for him, for the sake of marrying him.
Only now did he fully understand... how stifling the past three years had been for her.
