Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Chapter 105 Drowning

"Huiyi!" Not far away, Ye Chenxi hurried over and greeted Xie Huiyi.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes were full of concern.

Xie Huiyi smiled slightly, gently brushed away the loose hair on her forehead, and said calmly: "Chenxi, you came at the right time. I was just looking for you to discuss something."

The two found a quiet corner and sat down. Xie Huiyi looked at Ye Chenxi and couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met. At that time, she was still a secluded girl in the Ningguo Mansion, and Ye Chenxi was a young general under her father's command. A misunderstanding made them meet, and they have been inseparable since then.

"Chenxi, do you know what I've been thinking about recently?" Xie Huiyi asked softly, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

Ye Chenxi smiled slightly, squeezed her hand, and said gently: "Are you worried about our marriage? Don't worry, I have discussed it with my father, and he said he will arrange it for us as soon as possible."

Xie Huiyi blushed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Chenxi, I'm not worried about this. I just... I just feel that after we get married, life in Ningguo Mansion may become a little difficult."

Ye Chenxi's eyes narrowed, and he said seriously: "I know you are worried. But no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will stand by you and face them with you."

Xie Huiyi looked up at Ye Chenxi, with a determined light in her eyes: "Chenxi, I want to talk to you about our future plans. I hope that after we get married, I can help you manage family affairs and make Ningguo Mansion more prosperous."

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Chenxi's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Huiyi, you really keep surprising me. Since you have such confidence, of course I will fully support you. Let's work together to make Ningguo Mansion the best in the world."

"Chenxi, do you think that after we get married, we will be able to keep this sweetness like we do now?" Xie Huiyi looked at Ye Chenxi, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Chenxi gently held her hand and smiled, "Huiyi, I believe our relationship will get better and better. Because we know how to cherish and give. As long as we walk hand in hand, no difficulties can stop us."

Xie Huiyi blushed and whispered, "Chenxi, I am willing to accompany you through this life. Whether it is good times or bad times, I am willing to share it with you."

Ye Chenxi looked at Xie Huiyi affectionately, with a firm light in his eyes: "Huiyi, I am also willing to accompany you through this life. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will hold your hand tightly and not let you be alone."

"Chenxi, do you know? I have always wondered what I would be like now if we had not met?" Xie Huiyi asked softly.

Ye Chenxi smiled and took her into his arms: "Maybe you will become the lady of a noble family and live an ordinary and happy life. But I believe that no matter where you are, you will live well."

Xie Huiyi snuggled in Ye Chenxi's arms and smiled, "Yes, because I have you by my side. Chenxi, from now on, we will spend the rest of our lives together, facing the wind and rain together, and enjoying the sunshine together."

Ye Chenxi looked at Xie Huiyi affectionately and nodded gently: "Yes, Huiyi. We will walk through every stage of this life together until the end of time."

As the sun sets, the two figures cast a long shadow in the garden.

……

Xie Huiyi was struggling in the water and was about to drown.

"Huiyi!" Ye Chenxi was shocked, and an unprecedented panic surged in his heart. He quickly took off his coat, jumped into the cold Jingxin Lake, and swam towards Xie Huiyi.

The lake was deep and sparkling. Xie Huiyi struggled in the water, her face pale and her lips trembling slightly. She looked at Ye Chenxi, her eyes full of despair and pleading. At this moment, Ye Chenxi grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him steadily.

"Huiyi, don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Chenxi held her hand tightly, his voice firm and gentle. His eyes were full of worry and guilt, as if he was blaming himself for not realizing her danger earlier.

Xie Huiyi trembled slightly, tears sliding down her cheeks. She tried to calm herself down, looking at Ye Chenxi, and forced a smile: "Chenxi, I thought I would never see you again."

Ye Chenxi gently held Xie Huiyi in his arms, and used all his strength to help her breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Huiyi, I made you worry." Ye Chenxi apologized in a low voice, his eyes full of regret.

Xie Huiyi shook her head and pressed her face tightly against Ye Chenxi's chest, feeling his warmth and breath: "Chenxi, I don't blame you. I know the pain in your heart, and I also understand your responsibility. As long as I can be with you, I am already very satisfied."

"Chenxi, do you still remember playing hide-and-seek by the lake when we were kids?" Xie Huiyi raised her head, her eyes gleaming with memories.

Ye Chenxi smiled and recalled: "Of course I remember. At that time, you always hid in places where I couldn't find you, making it easy for me to find you."

Xie Huiyi smiled shyly: "Yes, at that time I always tried to hide, but you found me every time."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to that innocent time. Ye Chenxi gently rested Xie Huiyi's head on his shoulder and whispered, "Huiyi, you know what? I always hope that we can go back to that time, when we were carefree and trusted each other."

There was a trace of sadness in Xie Huiyi's eyes. Time cannot be reversed, but she still hopes to spend every day of the future with Ye Chenxi.

“You, you…” Ye Chenxi was so angry that he stepped back repeatedly, gritting his teeth and said, “Okay, Xie Huiyi, you are very good! I, Ye Chenxi, have finally seen your true colors today!”

Xie Huiyi smiled calmly, with a hint of imperceptible pride in her eyes, and said slowly: "Ye Chenxi, do you think I will change anything for you? You are wrong. I have never been the person you imagined. Now, you can leave Jingxin Lake and go find the 'her' in your heart."

Ye Chenxi's eyes widened, and he was furious. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said, "Xie Huiyi, do you think you can make me leave like this? I tell you, I, Ye Chenxi, am not someone who gives up so easily!"

Xie Huiyi smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Really? Then try and see if you can impress me."

On the shore of Jingxin Lake, the breeze blows gently and the water ripples.

Ye Chenxi looked at Xie Huiyi, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Huiyi, I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past and hurt you. But I swear, from now on, I will use all my strength to protect you and let you live a happy life."

Xie Huiyi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Ye Chenxi to express his feelings so directly. She looked at Ye Chenxi, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Ye Chenxi, I am moved by your words, but you also know that there is no going back between us."
