Chapter 1620: Chapter 1442: Epilogue

"I wait for you? I didn’t get married simply because I couldn’t find a husband—you know how hard it is for a village girl like me to get married. Not getting married was because no one wanted me," Xia Dabao looked at Tian Xiaobei’s face, which seemed so tender.

The tenderer he looked, the deeper he hid his true feelings.

"How can it be that no one wants you? Haven’t I come back? Dabao, I know you’ve been resentful towards me for all these years we haven’t seen each other, but I believe you will eventually clear up the misunderstandings about me. We can start over. After all, you once said that as long as you weren’t married, you would always wait for me."

"Misunderstandings? What misunderstandings could we possibly have? You just said it’s been a long time, implying you haven’t seen me in two or three years, but I saw you two years ago."

"You saw me?" Tian Xiaobei was very surprised.

"Surprising, isn’t it? A country girl like me dares to do anything, even going to Capital City to see you. But what were you doing then? Tian Xiaobei, let me ask you, do you know Pang Yanyan?" Xia Dabao asked.

As soon as she had asked, Tian Xiaobei was stunned.

"You..." He stammered, unable to continue.

"She invited you out to play every time, and you never turned her down. When people asked if you had a sweetheart, you said no, asked if you had someone you wanted to marry, you also said no. You were having a great time in Capital City back then; so why run back to me now? Did a rich young lady deceive you? Or did she dump you?"

Tian Xiaobei suddenly thought of the familiar figure he had seen that day at Pang Yanyan’s manor. Could it be...

Seeing Tian Xiaobei’s shocked expression, Xia Dabao sneered: "That’s right; I’ve been to Pang Yanyan’s manor. I was going to acknowledge you, but what you said then—I couldn’t get over it. I had long decided to forget you, thinking that even if you came back to me later, I wouldn’t bother with you. What I didn’t expect is that you actually came back, but this attitude of yours only makes me think you’re being insincere."

"Dabao, let me explain..."

"Don’t tell me you were just too lonely when you first got to Capital City and wanted to cling to someone for comfort, and don’t tell me it was just playing the field. In my eyes, it either is or it isn’t. Don’t tell me it’s different in the world of officialdom!"

Xia Dabao was firm and refused to listen to any explanations, turning her head and walking away.

Mo Wenxuan hurriedly followed her, cajoling like one would a child: "Lady Dabao, I’m not close with Tian Xiaobei; please don’t ignore me too."

"You’re clearly in cahoots; you’re selling him out so quickly, isn’t that bad?" Xia Dabao looked at Mo Wenxuan in front of her and truly found him somewhat inscrutable.

"Of course not, I haven’t even known him for ten days. Besides, I am a friend of your parents, which makes me your friend. If you don’t like Tian Xiaobei, I won’t bother with him either," Mo Wenxuan finally insisted stubbornly for once.

Xia Dabao scrutinized Mo Wenxuan once more: "You’re also a minister from Capital City?"

"Compared with your father, what kind of minister am I?"

"My father?"

Seeing Xia Dabao like this, Mo Wenxuan knew the boy had not revealed his past status, so he smiled again: "Your father had the opportunity to be a minister once; he gave it up."

"Ah?"

"Let’s not discuss this for now; shall we go meet your parents first?" Mo Wenxuan followed Xia Dabao, then looked back at Tian Xiaobei and waved his hand, signaling him not to follow.
