963: Chapter 938: Not Having the Beloved’s Heart!

How Can There Be No Separation!

Late at night.

The cold wind whistled.

After the land acquisition and demolition, many places were deserted, like barren mountains and wild ridges.

In the distance, lights were ablaze, machinery roared.

Inside the Science Research City, construction continued day and night, building one skyscraper after another.

The winding temporary construction roads connected various sites and project departments, and eventually led to the county road.

In the future, a Science Research Boulevard would be built to directly connect to the highway for convenience.

An enormous airport was also planned, to be used for aviation and aerospace equipment flight testing.

However…

All this hustle and bustle had nothing to do with Tang Xiao.

In the midst of the cold wind, she stood lonely at the only temporary construction road junction leading to the project department.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, her hair fluttering in the night breeze.

One cement mixer truck after another, one tipper truck after another, roared past, the ground trembling slightly with their passage.

None of them was the one Tang Xiao was waiting for.

After what felt like an eternity, the bright laser headlights finally caught her attention in the dark of night.

Tang Xiao pursed her red lips, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

It was close!

It was a Tianwei SUV, sporting a license plate from Jiahuan City.

And it also bore the logo of the Yuan Shan Highway Company.

It must have been the car her father arranged to go to Jiahuan City Airport to pick up Wu Jie.

In that moment,

Tang Xiao felt a strange mix of nervousness and excitement.

She both longed to see him and feared being ignored.

Full of hope and anticipation, yet terrified of cold indifference and despair.

Her heart raced, thumping wildly.

She had never felt so anxious before, and deep inside, there was an impulse to turn and run, too afraid to face him.

But in the end…

Everything came to an abrupt halt.

The car stopped.

It stopped at a great distance, motionless.

Bright headlights shone her way, and Tang Xiao could not see what was happening inside the car.

But she knew that the person inside must have a clear view of her.

Tang Xiao didn’t know whether to walk over or continue waiting in silence.

Finally,

A cement mixer truck approached from the back of the temporary road.

With its deep droning sound, it slowly came to a stop, without honking to urge her on.

After a short while, several more vehicles arrived, creating a long line of congestion.

Now, the stationary Tianwei SUV slowly started moving, inching its way towards her.

Tang Xiao held her breath, waiting for the car to stop.

However…

It turned into the junction, and suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the project department as if Tang Xiao was invisible.

“Stop the car!!!”

Tang Xiao didn’t know where she found the courage, but she suddenly screamed.

With surprising force, she completely disregarded her own safety and dashed towards the vehicle.

The Tianwei SUV, equipped with intelligent collision warning, detected a target approaching through its infrared and photoelectric sensors.

Analyzing the relative motion trajectory and velocity, it predicted an impending collision…

With a screech,

The car came to an emergency stop without the driver stepping on the brakes.

In reality…

The driver had not reacted at all, the interior of the car was quiet, and he didn’t hear Tang Xiao’s scream.

After all, not far behind, there were many engineering vehicles revving their engines, buzzing as they accelerated.

And Tang Xiao, who suddenly darted out of the darkness, was in the blind spot.

While driving on the narrow temporary road, drivers naturally focused on the front, not constantly checking their mirrors…

Thus, this automatic emergency stop averted what could have been an accident.

Otherwise, the accelerating vehicle driven by an oblivious driver would surely have hit Tang Xiao.

Of course,

After the sudden stop, the driver too was startled.

Driving along, following Wu Jie’s instructions, he almost hit the company president just outside the project department.

If he had actually hit her, even selling himself wouldn’t cover the costs!

Panicking, the driver quickly pressed the electronic parking brake and got out of the car.

He intended to check if he had hit her, but…

Tang Xiao pushed him aside and took over the SUV without explanation.

“Fuck!

President Tang is…

hijacking the car!!”

The driver was stunned.

The moment Tang Xiao got in, she quickly drove the vehicle away.

She sped off the temporary road, through the harvested but uneven cornfield.

And in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the bamboo forest.

So…

What was going on?

How on earth was he going to explain this to Mr.

Tang?

The driver didn’t hesitate, he immediately called Tang Long.

After the ‘hijacked’ Tianwei SUV entered the vast bamboo forest, it came to a sudden stop.

The engine was turned off, lights out, and Tang Xiao agilely climbed into the back seat.

Just as she was about to take the initiative, she was brushed off by Wu Jie.

Instantly,

Tang Xiao cried silently.

By then, Wu Jie remained impassive.

Perhaps this was what they call utter despair, a heart stilled to silence.

Deep inside, Wu Jie was unmoved, even thinking that at a time like this, a bowl of piping hot egg-fried rice might be better.

Women…

Hah!

Wu Jie’s lips curled in an indifferent smirk.

After who knows how long, Tang Xiao stopped crying.

Inside the quiet car, the atmosphere was warm but not harmonious.

Phew!

Wu Jie let out a long sigh.

“Back then, you told me that once I healed your old wounds, you would commit yourself to me, as long as I never left or abandoned you, you would stay with me in life and death!”

“You also guaranteed to be faithful to me, never to make me a cuckold, to comply with every request I had!”

“You even agreed to my three conditions: strict confidentiality, hiding your strength, and absolute obedience to me, you…”

“I was wrong!

I’m sorry, husband!

I know I messed up!”

Wu Jie hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Xiao started to cry and beg for forgiveness, her tears falling like rain.

“Was it you who was wrong?

It’s me who should be wrong, right!”

Wu Jie countered.

Tang Xiao shook her head repeatedly, “No!

You’re not wrong, you’ve done nothing wrong, it’s me who’s too selfish, too ignorant, too foolish.”

Wu Jie gave a light huff of laughter.

“There’s no need to blame yourself too much; ten days ago in Longyang, it was me who left without a word, without telling you, I just left!”

“I suppose the test drive event you meticulously prepared must have been somewhat affected by my absence!”

Tang Xiao immediately defended herself with a tearful voice:

“No!

That’s not it at all; I didn’t ask you to go, I know you’re tired, marrying such a troublesome wife like me, making you wear yourself out on my behalf, I’m truly sorry…”

Wu Jie silently let Tang Xiao cry and talk on.

Actually, to this day, no matter how things between them would end up, Wu Jie also had a question that stayed hidden in his heart.

And that was, why did Tang Xiao suddenly have such a drastic change of attitude, such a severe turnaround?

Originally, he left Longyang City without saying goodbye because the night before, Qin Yutian’s case had been explained and closed, and Tang Xiao had a day of exhaustion from competing and giving various interviews, yet she stayed up late chatting nonstop with Chu Yunxuan.

And the system also warned that Tang Xiao’s relationship with Chu Yunxuan was quite unusual, that Wu Jie was often “together less and apart more,” and that he no longer doted on her as before, which caused a sudden cooling of affections.

Leaving without saying goodbye was only a test to see how Tang Xiao would react.

But what was the result?

Ten days!

Tang Xiao could go a full ten days without a word from her.

If not for her father Tang Long’s intervention, it would likely have continued for even longer.

In this era of convenient communication, there’s no need to spend a fortune on telephone calls or send countless text messages as in the past.

With WIFI and data, you could have voice or video chats.

For a normal couple or lovers, not contacting each other for one or two days was enough to show that something was wrong, or that the relationship had changed.

And Tang Xiao truly excelled; she could go ten days without Wu Jie contacting her or reaching out to him on her own.

So, Wu Jie reflected earlier whether it was his unannounced departure, his lack of initiatives, that made Tang Xiao angry?

Did she throw a princess-like tantrum?

Did he indirectly push Tang Xiao toward Chu Yunxuan?

Therefore, Wu Jie said he was the one at fault earlier in the conversation.

Of course.

Not initiating contact with Tang Xiao for ten days, and all he got in return was a chilly phone notification, necessitating her father to intervene and arrange for airport pickup…

Wu Jie had no regrets.

At least it tested what Tang Xiao’s attitude toward him was, whether she carried him in her heart or not.

Those loving couples, those unable to see each other for even a day would miss each other greatly; if they were apart, they would want to video chat anytime, talking about this and that, intimate and inseparable.

And Tang Xiao?

If he didn’t take initiative, she seemed to fall for another woman.

Even if it was her wishful thinking, it proved that Wu Jie had never held an irreplaceable place in her heart!

If not for the fact that Chu Yunxuan was Wu Jie’s loyal backup, a woman totally devoted to him.

Had it been another woman, like Fang Qingya or Lin Yuan, who were inherently capable of same-sex relationships.

Wouldn’t the two of them have gotten together long ago?

So…

In Tang Xiao’s heart, Chu Yunxuan could almost replace Wu Jie, so could other women or even men easily replace him too?

If there is love in the heart, it is irreplaceable.

She would have contacted him in a timely manner after Wu Jie suddenly left Longyang, asking if there was an emergency mission from the Security Bureau.

She wouldn’t go for ten days without reaching out, not as if she didn’t know how to contact him.

In any case.

Through this incident, Wu Jie shockingly found that in Tang Xiao’s eyes, he was almost non-existent.

So what kind of marriage is that?

What kind of shitty love?

Probably even if they married, it was just to fulfill the promise she made after being cured of her old injury and “committing herself”.

She has never considered Wu Jie as her lover in her heart, never planned to get along compatibly, to share a lifetime together.

And the hidden doubt in his heart, with Tang Xiao’s sobbing narrative, Wu Jie also came to realize.

It was the movie!

The W film he shot with Bai Fengling.

That matter ultimately couldn’t be kept secret and was found out by Tang Xiao, who had just returned to Tianyuan.

Originally, she was going to the Security Bureau to find Wu Jie, but suddenly out of anger, she packed up her things and flew directly to Jiahuan City.

Wu Jie did not contact her, did not take the initiative to apologize or explain, and she also did not contact Wu Jie or show concern.

So they held their standoff, day by day, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

In Tang Xiao’s own words.

She didn’t change her heart, she didn’t betray, and she didn’t fall in love with Chu Yunxuan.

They just got along well and had good conversations.

One was a domineering CEO, the other a beautiful academic star!

Tang Xiao felt as though she had found a true friend and confidant, which was why she stayed in the project department and refused to return to Tianyuan.

Today, her father Tang Long already scolded her severely, making her realize her mistake.

She knew she was wrong, terribly wrong.

Overly spoiled and conceited.

Used to being pampered by Wu Jie, treated like a princess.

Not knowing how to love, not knowing how to love someone, completely neglecting the responsibilities of a wife, too stubborn and self-centered.

It shouldn’t always be Wu Jie who takes the initiative, she shouldn’t be spoiled and unreasonable, only caring about her own comfort, regardless of the consequences of her actions.

…

Apologies and reflections…

Tang Xiao said a lot, a lot.

But Wu Jie still remained silent.

This issue could be said to be a misunderstanding caused by the W film with Bai Fengling or a cold war triggered by a mutual spat of pride.

But both are enough to prove two points.

One is that Tang Xiao does not keep her promises.

Faithful to the end?

Never leave or forsake?

Absolute obedience?

If she really meant to do that, she wouldn’t get upset over a movie, leave home because of a spat, or go for ten days without contact just because she’s being willful!

Two, Tang Xiao is not a good lover.

She’s not considerate, not grateful, not understanding of human relationships.

She’s like an ungrown child, ignoring you once you make her angry, regardless of how well you’ve treated her in the past.

Wu Jie treated her well, and she took it for granted, and if not, she would get upset.

She never thought about how she should treat Wu Jie well.

So is such a lover still worth continuing to love deeply?
