General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 268 Confession (1)

Ji Xiaomu didn't know how big a problem she had caused Fang Chen, and she was looking forward to how Fang Chen would coax her.

After returning to the room, Ji Xiaomu saw someone who shouldn't be here.

"Why are you here?" Ji Xiaowu was stunned. Didn't Si Jing go to find him? Why was he in her room?

"She's looking for me everywhere. I have nowhere to hide, so I came to hide at my sister-in-law's place." Li Hong said embarrassedly, "I'll leave now."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave. Ji Xiaowu raised her eyebrows. "What is your attitude towards Si Jing?"

"What does sister-in-law mean?" Li Hong turned around and looked at Ji Xiaomu.

"She came to you and wanted to explain, but you hid from her?" Ji Xiaomu asked puzzledly, "Don't you like her?"

"She just wanted to repay her gratitude." Li Hong shook his head. "I would save her. Actually, I didn't know it myself. It's just that at that time... I saw despair in her green eyes, just like me when I was a child."

"The reason we are together is not because we are in love with each other. She never intended to accept me from the beginning. She just stayed by my side with an attitude of gratitude, fulfilling her duties and treating herself as my concubine. I know that she has no romantic feelings for me, but I am happy as long as she is willing to stay by my side." Li Hong looked at Ji Xiaou and smiled bitterly.

"I don't want to hear her explanation or those cruel words. If she wants to leave, I will prepare everything for her and let her leave safely." Li Hong sighed softly, "I won't force her to stay."

"Let me... hold on to one last hope."

"Young man, you are very dramatic, but I still advise you to listen to her 'explanation'. Otherwise, if you send her away like this, you may regret it for the rest of your life." Seeing his pitiful look on his face for having lost his wife, Aunt Ji laughed in her heart.

Li Hong shook his head. He didn't want to listen. He was already feeling disappointed. If he listened any more... he was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it.

"No matter what she said, at least you treated each other honestly and left no regrets. In the end, whether to leave or stay is up to you to decide." Seeing Li Hong shaking his head, Ji Xiaomu said again.

Li Hong thought about it and realized that since his sister-in-law had said so much, it would be good to meet her before sending her away.

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

Li Hong had just finished speaking when Si Jing called out from outside the door. "Li Hong, where are you? Can you come out and see me? I want to see you."

"I'm here." Li Hong opened the door and walked out, greeting Si Jing.

When Si Jing heard Li Hong's response, she immediately ran in his direction and saw Li Hong coming out of Ji Xiaomu's room. "No wonder I couldn't find you after searching everywhere. It turns out you were hiding in my sister-in-law's room."

Si Jing searched the entire villa, but did not look for Ji Xiaomu's room. Unexpectedly, he was hiding here.

"What do you want to say?" Li Hong looked at Si Jing and said calmly.

"...I did regard you as my benefactor before, so I stayed." Si Jing took a deep breath and said to Li Hong.

Before Li Hong could answer, Si Jing continued, "But, I don't know when it started, but I heard those people say that you would marry another woman as your legal wife in the future. I know I am not worthy of you, and I also know that you will definitely marry a lady of equal status as your legal wife in the future. I was very sad and thought about leaving you."

"But when I thought that I would never see you again, I backed off again. I know you don't believe me and think I stayed to repay a favor. I thought so at first, too. I tried hard to calm myself down and accept everything. I was lost for a while, but still couldn't accept it. Then I realized my feelings for you." Si Jing looked at Li Hong, her eyes full of him. Li Hong opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
