Chapter 197 entanglement

Zhang Xuan looked at Mu Xiaoxi, although he was married, it did not hinder his liking for Mu Xiaoxi in his heart.Recalling back then, Mu Xiaoxi was still a young girl with plain clothes. Compared with Mu Xiaoxi today, she seemed to be very different.At that time, he was a narcissistic and proud handsome guy, when Shen Jia pursued him, he abandoned Mu Xiaoxi without hesitation, thinking that she was not good enough for him.

However, the current Mu Xiaoxi surprised Zhang Xuan. She was much more beautiful than when she was a student, and her temperament was more mature and noble.No one would believe that she came from the countryside, her temperament and demeanor are no less than that of any wealthy daughter.Zhang Xuan lamented the changes of time in his heart, and his feelings towards Mu Xiaoxi seemed to have changed accordingly, no longer the frivolous and narcissistic ones of the past.

He reached out to touch the child's head. The two children looked so good.But the child wouldn't let him touch it, slapped his hand away, and looked at him with disdain.Mu Xiaoxi also took a few steps back with his nephew, distanced himself from Zhang Xuan, and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Xuan felt a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that the reunion with Mu Xiaoxi would be like this.He knew that he had hurt Mu Xiaoxi once, and his attitude towards her was not satisfactory.He said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet you here, I just wanted to say hello."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled lightly, but did not respond to his apology, she knew that the past could not be changed.She looked at Zhang Xuan, her heart was already relieved, she was no longer entangled in the pain of the past.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go first." Mu Xiaoxi turned around and left with the child.She didn't want to stay any longer. Meeting Zhang Xuan again reminded her of a past event, but now she had her own happy life.

Looking at Mu Xiaoxi's leaving back, Zhang Xuan felt a little emotional.He understands that past mistakes cannot be undone, but he also feels Mu Xiaoxi's growth and strength.He knew that their life trajectories had parted ways, each heading towards a different future.

Recalling the scene just now, Zhang Xuan's mood was a little complicated.Perhaps, they are destined to be just passers-by in each other's lives, but the memory of this past will remain in his heart forever.He hopes that Mu Xiaoxi can live happily, even if he can't be by her side, he also wishes her to have her own happiness and happiness.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan's mind moved, and he stopped Mu Xiaoxi with a step. She asked with some doubts, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xuan looked at the girl in front of him who had once moved his heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is this child yours?"

Mu Xiaoxi frowned impatiently, feeling a little annoyed, but still replied: "Yes, he is my son."

Seeing Mu Xiaoxi's expression was a little displeased, Zhang Xuan quickly explained: "I'm just curious, nothing else."

Mu Xiaoxi said lightly: "Then are you satisfied?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, and asked again: "Who is your husband now? What does he do?"

Mu Xiaoxi was a little annoyed, but she still replied, "My current husband is Shen Ye, and he is an executive of a company."

When Zhang Xuan heard the name Shen Ye, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his heart.He knew that Shen Ye was a capable person, and he and Mu Xiaoxi already had a family.He couldn't help being a little envious and regretful, knowing in his heart that the story between them had long since passed.

"I heard that you are living happily now?" Zhang Xuan asked tentatively.

Mu Xiaoxi smiled slightly, but didn't answer, just said: "We have a good life."

Zhang Xuan was silent for a while at a loss. He knew that it would be meaningless to ask more questions. Their lives had already gone in different directions.He looked into Mu Xiaoxi's eyes, and felt a faint heartache and remorse in his heart.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan's expression and understood his mood at the moment. She sighed and tried to calm down her emotions.She said: "Zhang Xuan, let the past go. We all have our own new lives, and we don't need to look back."

Zhang Xuan nodded, he knew that Mu Xiaoxi was right, what happened in the past was indeed in the past, and it could never be undone.He looked at Mu Xiaoxi and her son, and his blessings and best wishes for her welled up in his heart.

"I hope you and your family will be happy." Zhang Xuan said softly.

Mu Xiaoxi nodded with a smile, but did not speak.She knows that happiness has different definitions for everyone, and she has found her own happiness.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, then said their goodbyes and continued their respective journeys.Although they once had a good time, they have now become passers-by in each other's lives, each heading towards a different future.

Zhang Xuan choked, and many emotions surged in his heart, recalling bits and pieces of the past.He remembered the youthful time with Mu Xiaoxi, when he was a narcissistic teenager, he wanted to kiss her, but she was only willing to let him hold hands.The relationship between them used to be so pure and beautiful, however, fate made them go on different paths.

He didn't expect that Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye would conceive first, and the child was already this old before they got married.My heart is a little complicated, I am jealous of Shen Ye's luck, but I don't want to admit my loss.Thinking of Shen Ye's handsome appearance, he felt even more jealous, but at the same time thinking of Shen Ye's work, his mood improved a little.He knew that Shen Ye had made great achievements in the workplace and had a stable financial foundation, which made him feel a little relieved.

However, a feeling of unwillingness still breeds in his heart. He hopes that Mu Xiaoxi's life is not as good as his, so that he will be happy.This thought made him feel a little shameless, but he couldn't help himself.

He knew that Mu Xiaoxi's happiness had nothing to do with him, she already had her own family and life.But that didn't stop his thoughts, and he still missed the good old days.He thought that if given the chance, he would be willing to coax Mu Xiaoxi back to him again, even if it was just for cheating.This unrealistic fantasy made him feel ridiculous, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Having been in love, but never getting it, Zhang Xuan felt a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.He felt that he didn't deserve to end up like this, and Mu Xiaoxi's happiness made him feel extremely jealous and angry.He began to conceive of developing a relationship with Mu Xiaoxi into an underground lover. Although such an idea was unrealistic, he couldn't stop his fantasy.

In his inner struggle, Zhang Xuan realized that he needed to let go of his past emotions, face the reality, and find his own happiness.But the process was not easy, and he knew he needed time to adjust his mentality.He hopes that in the days to come, he can gradually get out of the shadow of the past and have his own happiness.

Zhang Xuan felt jealous that Shen Ye could have such an object, that is, Mu Xiaoxi.He watched Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi walk by together, and his heart was full of envy and dissatisfaction.Shen Ye is a lucky man, he has a beautiful and intelligent wife, and a lovely child.This made Zhang Xuan feel how unfair he was, why they could have such a beautiful family, but he could only watch silently, unable to integrate into it.

Mu Xiaoxi's attachment and tenderness to Shen Ye made Zhang Xuan feel jealous.He used to be a part of Mu Xiaoxi's life, but now he can only become a memory of the past, while Shen Ye is her present and future.This comparison made Zhang Xuan feel unbalanced, and he felt that he had lost something precious.

Shen Ye's work and career success also made Zhang Xuan jealous.He knew that Shen Ye had made good achievements in the workplace and had a stable financial foundation, which enabled him to give Mu Xiaoxi and his children a superior life.But he didn't achieve decent achievements, and couldn't bring Mu Xiaoxi better living conditions.This made him feel inferior and powerless, unable to compare with Shen Ye.

He even began to doubt his choice, why he didn't cherish Mu Xiaoxi at the beginning, but gave up her so easily.If he had stuck with it then, maybe things would be different now.But the reality is that he missed Mu Xiaoxi, and she chose to be with Shen Ye.

These jealous emotions churned endlessly in Zhang Xuan's heart, causing him to fall into depression and entanglement.He knew he couldn't dwell on the emotions of the past, but it wasn't easy.He hopes that he can get rid of jealousy, look forward, and find his own happiness.However, this process takes time and effort, and he knows that he must face his own heart and resolve his inner conflicts and struggles.

Although there is jealousy in his heart, Zhang Xuan also understands that Mu Xiaoxi's happiness has nothing to do with him, she has already found her own home.He hoped that Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye could live happily and give their children a good environment to grow up.At the same time, he also realized that he should pursue his own happiness and find his own meaning in life.Perhaps, when he has his own happiness, the jealousy will gradually fade, and he will start to re-examine his past and accept his choices and reality.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan, and said softly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Zhang Xuan looked a little hesitant, but insisted: "Wait a minute, let me treat you to a meal, as a farewell."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head: "No need, there is nothing to say goodbye between us."

Hearing Mu Xiaoxi's refusal, Zhang Xuan felt a little disappointed, but he didn't intend to give up: "You're welcome, I really want to treat you to a meal."

Looking at Zhang Xuan's persistent eyes, Mu Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed, but still said: "Well, since you are so persistent, I will accompany you to have a meal."

So, the two walked into a restaurant.The atmosphere of the restaurant is relatively warm, Zhang Xuan chose a seat by the window, and after Mu Xiaoxi sat down, he smiled and said, "Leave the order to me."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded and said softly, "Then I will trouble you."

Zhang Xuan looked at Mu Xiaoxi and felt a little guilty.He knew that he was not good enough to Mu Xiaoxi, but at this moment he didn't know how to make up for it.He thought of the bits and pieces they had walked together, and those good memories made him feel a little sad in his heart.

"Are you living happily now?" Zhang Xuan asked tentatively.

Mu Xiaoxi nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am living happily."

Zhang Xuan was in a complicated mood. He wanted to know more about Mu Xiaoxi's current situation, but he didn't know how to speak.He knew that Mu Xiaoxi already had a family of his own, and the story between them was long gone.But he still wants to know about Mu Xiaoxi's happy life, and he hopes that Mu Xiaoxi can live a better life than him.

Mu Xiaoxi saw Zhang Xuan's hesitation, and said softly, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm doing fine."

Zhang Xuan nodded, but the emotions in his heart were still difficult to calm down.He knew that he was unwilling and regretful, but he also understood that the past was irreversible.He looked at Mu Xiaoxi, and his heart was full of complicated emotions. He hoped that she could live happily, but he was unwilling to accept that she had become a part of his past.

"You are lucky." Zhang Xuan said softly, "You have a beautiful wife and lovely children. I once hoped to have such happiness."

Mu Xiaoxi's eyes were gentle and understanding: "Everyone's happiness is different, and you will find your own happiness."

Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile: "Maybe."

After the food was served, the two began to taste the food.Zhang Xuan tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed, joking from time to time, but the complicated emotions in his heart could not be completely erased.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan and understood his mood at the moment.She knew he had feelings for her once, but that was in the past.She is not willing to touch those heartstrings anymore, she has found her own happiness, and Zhang Xuan should also pursue her own happiness.

After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant in silence.Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan and said softly, "Thank you for your invitation. I will cherish my happiness."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "I also hope you can be happy."

They watched each other leave with mixed emotions in their hearts.Although they once had good times, now they all have their own lives and each other is a memory.Perhaps, for each other, this is the best ending.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan had been relentless, Mu Xiaoxi began to feel a little irritable.She knew that she should end this conversation decisively and not let Zhang Xuan pester her anymore.So, she decided to use threats to get him to give up.

She looked at Zhang Xuan, and her expression became firm: "If you pester me like this again, I will call your wife and let her know that you are looking for me outside."

Zhang Xuan's face turned pale when he heard Mu Xiaoxi's words. He couldn't believe that Mu Xiaoxi would threaten him like this.But he also knew that Mu Xiaoxi was a smart and decisive woman, and it was no child's play for her to say such things.

Mu Xiaoxi continued: "I don't want you to disturb the lives of me and my family anymore. The story between us is over. You should also let go of the past and pursue your own happiness."

Her words were firm and decisive, making Zhang Xuan feel a little at a loss.He knew that he was not good enough to Mu Xiaoxi, but at this moment he couldn't change the fact of the past.He understood that Mu Xiaoxi's threat was not groundless, and if she really told his wife, it would be a huge blow to his family.

Mu Xiaoxi continued: "I don't want to destroy your family, but if you still can't let go of the past, I can only use this method to protect myself and my family."

There was a firm determination in her words, which made Zhang Xuan feel unable to refute.He knew that he had missed the opportunity to be with Mu Xiaoxi, and now he could only accept this fact and work hard to pursue his own happiness.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan. She didn't want to hurt him, but she couldn't tolerate him continuing to interfere with her life.She hopes he can understand and respect her choice.

"You'd better go back and cherish your family." Mu Xiaoxi's voice revealed a hint of sadness, "I hope you can live happily."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently. He knew that he could no longer pester Mu Xiaoxi, but could only accept the reality and face his own choices and consequences.He turned to leave with mixed emotions in his heart.Perhaps, the threat this time is the boundary that Mu Xiaoxi has set for herself, a boundary that must never be crossed.He understood that he had lost Mu Xiaoxi, and her happiness had nothing to do with him.

On the way home, Zhang Xuan's heart was full of remorse and regret for the past.He hopes that he can learn from his past mistakes and pursue his own happiness.He understands that Mu Xiaoxi is already his past, and the future path can only be chosen by himself.

After hearing Mu Xiaoxi's threat, Zhang Xuan felt helpless and lost.He understood that he had lost Mu Xiaoxi, and he would never have the chance to go back to the past and regain his old relationship with her.He looked at Mu Xiaoxi with a sad expression, and said softly, "Okay, I understand. I won't disturb you and your family anymore."

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Xuan, and she could feel his inner struggle and unwillingness.She sighed softly: "Zhang Xuan, the past cannot be changed, we should all face the reality."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes, I know. I'm just a little sad. Seeing you live so happily, I'm a little envious."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own happiness, and you will find your own too."

Zhang Xuan asked again: "How are you doing now? Can Shen Ye afford you?"

Mu Xiaoxi's smile became more confident: "I am living a very good life now, Shen Ye is a very good person, he can give me and the children a good life."

Hearing Mu Xiaoxi's affirmation of Shen Ye, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart.He used to think that Mu Xiaoxi was not good enough for him, but now it seemed that Shen Ye was the one who could give her happiness.He felt how wrong his judgment of Mu Xiaoxi was, and he also understood that he had lost the chance to have her again.

"I understand." Zhang Xuan said softly, "You and Shen Ye are living happily, and I won't bother you again."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded: "Thank you for your understanding."

Zhang Xuan turned and left with a smile. He knew that he had no choice but to give up. (end of this chapter)
