Chapter 417: Let Her Go 3_1

Meng Xi'er was stunned for a moment, seemingly not reacting to what just happened. The man's eyes were downcast, his expression illegible. She abruptly stood up from the chair.

Almost instantly, she put down her chopsticks and rushed towards the door.

As if she was afraid he would change his mind, she didn't care for anything else and ran out.

Lu Yebai sat there alone, his heart aching unbearably. He couldn't help but call out, "Xixi."

The frantic pace of Meng Xi'er faltered for a moment. She was breathing heavily, turning her head to look at him. Her eyes, as clear as glass, showed a hint of fear and dawning understanding.

Yes, he was just fooling her. How could he possibly let her go... Her body gradually grew cold, her blood seeming to freeze. She calmed down.

A breeze drifted in from the door, fluttering the hem of her sleep gown.
