Chapter 921: Goodbye, Jiahang

He Xiyan looked at the string of messages and tapped open her keyboard but she found that she could not type a single word.

She finally chose to turn off her phone and threw it into her bag.

She didn’t dare to respond to his messages for fear that she would start to waver after making up her mind to leave him. She was afraid that she would rush out of this airport to return home to be with Jiahang.

She could no longer be with him and this was something she realized the moment she regained her memories. She didn’t want the conflicts that plagued her marriage with Ye Hao to play out in the Gu family once again.

She didn’t want to get married again, neither did she wish for her children to grow up without their mother.

She had left so quickly because she was afraid that she would waver and that she would give in to her inner desires to make a decision that she would regret for the rest of her life.

She heard the announcement that her flight was ready to board.

He Xiyan slowly rose to her feet and her silhouette under the lamplight was extremely long. Then, she dragged her large suitcase and queued to get her flight ticket checked, and boarded the flight bound for Ye City.

Her flight took off.

He Xiyan looked down through the window and quickly saw the small houses, winding roads, and even saw the residential district where she resided with Jiahang.

He Xiyan placed her right hand against the window when she saw the house that she was so familiar with.

“Goodbye, Jiahang,” she whispered soundlessly. She blinked and her eyes filled with tears once more. Tears soon streaked down her cheeks.

Her mind was suddenly filled with many memories and scenes of the past.

She had arrived at this beautiful mountain village without any memories of her past three years ago, during spring. Then, a man who couldn’t speak had purchased her to be his bride and he would often give her the best parts of every dish and every cent of his hard-earned money. He was poor, foolish, and mute, but he would give her the best he could and she was everything to him. This man was also the man she had spent the happiest moments of her life with.

“Thank you, Jiahang...”

He Xiyan put her hands over her face. Her face was completely covered in tears.

She longed to return to the time before both Jiahang and herself had recovered their memories but she knew this was just wishful thinking.

She was forced to confront her terrible past once again.

The airplane slowly rose higher and higher and soon, it moved from the city to the neighboring county, and from one city to another, from one province to another.

Her flight finally landed at Ye City.

Ye City was the busiest and largest commercial city in the country and she could feel the fast-paced lifestyle that was characteristic of all large cities.

The large crowds, the never-ending cars, and the busy malls were all signs of a city that was impossible to live without money.

Dusk fell and she checked into a hotel. This was the busiest stretch of Ye City’s Zicheng District. It was more than 40 kilometers away from the Mo mansion in the west and more than 30 kilometers from the Ye castle located south of the city.

She checked into a luxurious single suite and paid enough to stay at this hotel for a week.

She hadn’t thought about where she would stay in the future but she knew that she would continue to live in this city because both her children were here as well as her sister.

He Xiyan finally turned on her phone after she washed up. Her phone kept beeping continuously with new notifications after she turned on her phone.

She looked at these messages and saw that they were all from Jiahang.

“I’m really sorry!” she said softly and shut her eyes painfully.
