Rebirth Of The Female Antagonist: - 165 I'sm Sorry

When XuanRong arrived at her own courtyard, she saw YuYing waiting for her.

“WangFei!!”

When YuYing saw XuanRong she sighed in relief and immediately curtsied.

“This servant was anxious when WangFei did not return. YuShen JieJie almost wants to go back and search for WangFei. Thankfully, WangFei is okay.”

XuanRong’s sighed and apologized.

“I went to the manor and visited Shu Er. Did all of you successfully escape?”

YuYing nodded and relayed what happened during their attempt to assassinate Long Hao Chen. When XuanRong sent the signal, they immediately left without looking back like what XuanRong ordered them. After YuYing left, XuanRong went inside the room and peeled off the black outer garment she wore, leaving her white inner garments.

When she walked towards the inner room, saw Xu Fei Yi sleeping soundly on her bed. She sat on the bed and raised her hand, wanting to touch his face. Looking at his peaceful and innocent face, guilt suddenly crept inside her heart. She promised not to leave him alone but when he had fallen asleep, she left afterwards.

XuanRong’s fingers touched his hair and she slowly brushed it away from his cheeks. Her eyes could not help but roam around his face until it landed on his soft pink lips. Suddenly, XuanRong was reminded by that kiss. She was reminded by that person’s lips and could not help but overlap it with Xu Fei Yi’s.

*snap!*

XuanRong hurriedly withdraw her hand like she was burned.

‘No… I must be insane.’

XuanRong could not help but get angry towards herself. Was her head gone bad? She even became delusional for a second, finding that man’s shadow in Xu Fei Yi.

Sighing, XuanRong turned, wanting to stand up and leave but before she could even move, Xu Fei Yi stirred and subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Wife JieJie?”

XuanRong stopped moving and stared at the young man who was rubbing his eyes. Her eyes softened and scooted towards him, reducing their distance.

“Sleep… It’s still early…” XuanRong lovingly stroked Xu Fei Yi’s head as she reclined on the headboard.

“Nghn… Wife JieJie…”

“Mmm?”

“…Wife JieJie will not abandon Yi’er, right? Yi’er and Wife JieJie will be together forever, right?”

Xu Fei Yi tightened his arms around her waist as if he was afraid that once he let go of her, she would disappear.

XuanRong was caught off guard by Xu Fei Yi’s question. Still, she managed to answer him since she had already decided to give him the love her master was not able to give.

“Of course… Wife JieJie will not leave you…”

Hearing XuanRong’s promise, Xu Fei Yi raised his head and smiled lovingly towards her.

“Yey!! Yi’er loves Wife JieJie the most! Mu Qing said that we are husband and wife. Husband and wife will never separate… so Yi’er will never be alone again.”

Her body went stiff in a second due to the different emotions she suddenly felt.

Pity.

Sadness.

and…. Guilt.

‘Husband and Wife.’ XuanRong could not help but feel pain inside her heart.

Indeed..

They were husband and wife.

Although she treated him like a little child and not a full-grown man, still, she was his wife and he was her husband.

But what did she do?

She was kissed by another man… and she did not stop his advances.

Shame.

XuanRong was filled with shame.

Her face was burned with embarrassment as she reevaluated herself. How could she cruelly think of another man when she was already a wife of someone? Was she that horrible?

Xu Fei Yi was such an innocent child. He was unloved and was left alone. He was wealthy and had a high status but he was lonely. He had no one… only her… but she betrayed him when she allowed that person to kiss her.

XuanRong was filled with remorse as she stared at his eyes. Lowering her eyes, XuanRong moved and hugged Xu Fei Yi back. It hadn’t been long since she entered QinWang Fu but she had already been accustomed to his smell, a combination of medicinal herbs and lotus scent. Being with Xu Fei Yi brings her comfort.

‘Fei Yi smells just like him.’

Once again, when she recalled that person with a mask, XuanRong’s heart tightened. Closing her eyes, she vowed never to think of that person again… She and him would never be together.

He was a man who would achieve great things… while she, the only thing she had was her revenge… besides, Xu Fei Yi needed her… so, before her heart truly fell for that person, she had to step back and kill this good feeling she felt for him…

For her own sake… and for Xu Fei Yi’s sake.

‘I may not able to love you as a man but I will treasure and protect you… In my heart, you are the most important person…. you are my younger brother.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” XuanRong repeatedly murmured as she buried her head in Xu Fei Yi’s chest.

———-

After the failed assassination, XuanRong decided to leave Long Hao Chen for now. She kept on observing but the assassination attempt was not publicized, the matter of Long Hao Chen’s injury was hidden not only to the public but also towards the Emperor, Xu Ji Mo. But XuanRong was not sure if Xu Ji Mo’s spies were competent enough to get some information or not.

A week passed in a blink of an eye. Ever since XuanRong returned from the manor in the outskirts of the capital, she never left QinWang Fu once again but that did not mean that she was being idle. Aside from preparing for the upcoming full moon two weeks from now, she was trying to move unto her next target— Rui Fang Li.

Since Baili Chen was already dancing in her palm, she only had to wait for the right time before she returns all the humiliation she experienced in Baili Chen’s hand. Aside from that, she was waiting for Li Jung Li to fell into madness.

What would Marquis Li do when his only son had fallen into a quicksand?

Would he pull Li Jung Li out and save him or would he abandon his son instead to protect the Marquis’ name?

‘Heheheh…. Everything will be in your hands…. Baili Furen.’
