Xi Yue showed a weak but resolute smile, and said slowly: "If I don't want to, no one can force me. Daddy, grandma, don't worry, I can handle Ji Mingyu's problem by myself. Besides, can I hide in the Yun family's barrier for the rest of my life?"
Madam Yun and Yun Tianyi looked at each other before she took Xi Yue's hand and said softly, "Grandma does have a way to make Ji Mingyu stop bothering you from now on."
When Xi Yue heard the words "I will no longer be entangled with you from now on", what she felt was not the relief, but the desolation and loneliness as if her whole heart was hollowed out.
If Ji Mingyu gave up pestering her, shouldn't she be happy? But why did she feel so heartbroken and desperate when she thought that they no longer had any entanglement
Seeing that Xi Yue didn't say anything, Madam Yun said softly, "Yuer, are you still unable to forget Ji Mingyu?"
Xi Yue shook her head violently, her voice suddenly rising, as if she was trying to convince others, and also as if she was trying to convince herself, "Grandma, tell me, what's the solution?"
Madam Yun looked at her granddaughter's pale and thin face, feeling so distressed. She held her hand and said, "Grandmother, I think Ji Mingyu is pestering you because he wants to marry you and use your wood essence to detoxify himself. If he knew that your wood essence can no longer detoxify him, wouldn't he give up and stop pestering you?"
"No way to detoxify?" Xi Yue was a little confused for a moment.
Old Madam Yun repeated what Jun Yueze had said.
Xi Yue listened in a daze and didn't say a word for a long time.
If this is the case, will Ji Mingyu let go and stop pestering her
But if he really let go? Does that mean he never loved me? Was he just doing it for the Origin of Wood from the beginning to the end
Thinking of this, her hands and feet became colder, her body trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to be cut into pieces.
She originally trusted Ji Mingyu wholeheartedly. Even though the series of events in Tianyi Valley were all directed at Ji Mingyu, she never had any doubts.
However, Nangong Yu's background, and the scam and exploitation he used when approaching her at the beginning, made Xiyue's trust collapse.
Ji Mingyu did not even deny that Nangong Yu's appearance beside her was a scam, and his purpose was only to use the wood essence in her body to detoxify her.
Due to the special nature of the wood origin, forced physical intimacy is meaningless. Only when she is willing to be close to it can she circulate the power of the origin in perfect harmony and remove the poison of the Flowing Marrow Ice Prison.
In other words, it was destined from the beginning that Nangong Yu would need not only her original power but also her willing feelings to get close to her.
At that moment, all trust collapsed.
Xi Yue could no longer trust Ji Mingyu wholeheartedly, and she didn't know whether he approached her because he really loved her or because he wanted to get the original power that he was willing to give her.
Madam Yun looked at her granddaughter's shaky body, hugged her in her arms with heartache, and murmured, "Don't cry, Yue'er, it's not worth it for such a person to cry for him. As long as he knows that there is no antidote for the Flowing Marrow Ice Prison from you, he will stop pestering you, and you can live your own life in the future."
Xi Yue took a deep breath, broke free from Madam Yun's embrace, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll listen to Grandmother. However, it is enough to let Ji Mingyu know that my Wood Origin cannot detoxify him. There is no need to get engaged and married." (To be continued)
