Chapter 927
They were seen carrying packs on their shoulders, looking toward Chen Ang's side with complex expressions.
Feeling gazes landing on him, Chen Ang hurriedly turned around.
When he met everyone's eyes, his brows suddenly tightened, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Where are you all going? Why are you carrying packs?"
"Sect Master Chen, we are leaving," someone said with a complex look.
"Leaving? Where are you going?" Chen Ang asked urgently.
"We... are returning to the Butterfly Clan."
"Returning to the Butterfly Clan? Whose instruction? Where is Qing Mei?"
"Sect Master Qing Mei has already taken a step ahead; she was afraid you would go to great lengths to see us off, so she specifically left early."
Learning that Qing Mei had already left, Chen Ang's expression changed drastically.
From beginning to end, Qing Mei's decision had never changed; now that she suddenly decided to leave, it must be because of yesterday's events!
"Which road did she take? When did she leave?"
"The main road to the east; she left an hour ago."
Getting the answer, Chen Ang turned and left.
Seeing him chase after her, the Butterfly Clan people were overjoyed.
They knew why Qing Mei left, and now that Chen Ang was chasing after her, they felt there was hope for this matter!
"Let's go, let's go, let's follow and see. Wan Shitong, are you going?"
After thinking for a moment, Wan Shitong nodded: "I'm going too; in case something really happens, I can still help our boss."
"Don't you dare; this is a matter between the two of them, and outsiders shouldn't interfere. If you want to watch the fun, go; if you want to help, don't go, otherwise, if you end up doing more harm than good, Sect Master Chen won't spare you."
Hearing their words, Wan Shitong finally realized what they meant.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll listen to you; I'll follow you to watch the fun."
After making the decision, everyone hurriedly followed.
Chen Ang took the lead, and the others followed behind.
After chasing for a full hour, Chen Ang finally saw Qing Mei's figure at the crossroads!
At this moment, she was standing there all alone, and even her back revealed a sense of loneliness!
Looking at this back, Chen Ang only felt extreme heartache!
Stepping forward quickly, Chen Ang grabbed Qing Mei's wrist.
Before he could even speak, Qing Mei threw a punch back.
Realizing things were not good, Chen Ang hurriedly let go and took a big step back.
Just at this moment, a cold light flashed, and the tip of the sword in Qing Mei's hand headed straight for his heart!
The distance between the two was close; in just a split second, the sword tip pointed straight at his heart!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ang reached out his hand and, regardless of anything else, gripped her sword!
At this moment, Qing Mei pushed the sword forward with force, and the blade cut directly across Chen Ang's hand!
Just as the sword tip was about to pierce his clothes, Qing Mei widened her eyes and stopped abruptly.
"Chen Ang, why is it you?!"
"You left without saying goodbye; I want to ask you why you left."
Chen Ang asked what was in his heart, but how could Qing Mei have the heart to think about these things now?
Chen Ang had approached silently and grabbed her wrist. She had been lost in thought and subconsciously counterattacked after sensing danger, and it was aimed straight at his life. Now that Chen Ang was injured, her eyes were full of him; how could she care about anything else!
"Quickly let go of my sword! Your hand is bleeding!"
Maintaining his previous posture, Chen Ang didn't let go, just looked into her eyes and asked: "Qing Mei, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Seeing him refuse to let go, Qing Mei was so anxious she was about to cry.
"Is now the time to ask these things? Your hand is injured; quickly let go, I'll help you bandage the wound!"
"Qing Mei, answer me, did you leave without saying goodbye because of yesterday's events?"
Seeing him insist on asking, Qing Mei nodded forcefully.
"Yes, I left because of yesterday's events. I've answered; can you let go now?"
"Why did you leave? Was it because I didn't give an answer at the time?"
"You let go first; we'll talk after you bandage the wound, okay?"
"No, you answer me first; if you don't answer, I won't let go."
In a moment of desperation, Chen Ang used a bitter-meat tactic.
Clearly, Qing Mei was also susceptible to this.
"Chen Ang, can't you let go first? Your hand is bleeding!"
"I know, but I don't care; I only care about your answer now."
After hearing his words, Qing Mei closed her eyes tightly.
"Yes, you're right, I chose to leave without saying goodbye because of last night. Actually, I wasn't completely drunk last night; I was still a bit sober. I just wanted to use the wine to ask you for an answer. Your answer determined whether I stayed or left, so I left today. Are you satisfied now? Can you let go?"
"Because I didn't answer yesterday, you left without saying goodbye? Qing Mei, you should know that I didn't want to not answer yesterday; I was interrupted by Wan Shitong."
After hearing his words, Qing Mei opened her eyes.
"You were interrupted at the time, but you didn't come to find me later, did you? Chen Ang, I waited for you all night last night. I told myself that as long as you came to find me, no matter what you said, I would stay. I convinced myself to wait all night, but I waited for nothing..."
When she said this, Qing Mei's tone was already a bit choked.
It could be seen that she was forcibly controlling her emotions, not wanting to lose her composure in front of Chen Ang.
Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and nose, Chen Ang only felt his heart hurt more than the wound on his hand.
So he had unintentionally hurt her so deeply, yet he was a jerk and completely unaware, even self-righteously thinking it was for her own good...
Throwing the sword away, Chen Ang pulled her into his arms with force. Holding her shoulders, he wished he could rub her into his very bones...
"Qing Mei, it's my fault; I was too selfish. I went outside your courtyard last night, but when I thought about how much you had drunk and that you might be asleep, I hesitated. After wandering for a while, I left in the end. If I had known you were waiting for me, I would have rushed in without hesitation. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
After hearing these words from Chen Ang, Qing Mei widened her eyes instantly.
"What did you say? You came to find me last night?"
"Yes, I went, but I didn't enter the courtyard; I only wandered outside for a while. Qing Mei, I was indecisive. If I had been a bit firmer at the time and hadn't thought so much, you wouldn't have left in disappointment today."
"Chen Ang, why did you come to find me last night?" Qing Mei asked with a trembling voice.
"Because I wanted to tell you that all the effort you put in didn't go to waste. I saw every action and every bit of love you showed, and I also tried to give a response. Maybe I'm just naturally clumsy in this regard and couldn't make you feel my love. Qing Mei, I'm very sorry."
"So... so you... your previous actions weren't unintentional, but intentional?"
"Yes, I was trying hard to respond to you. Everything you felt was my intentional act. Qing Mei, it's all my fault; it's because I couldn't make you feel my love in time that you were hurt. Can you give me another chance? This time I promise to make you happy!"
Looking at Chen Ang's sincere eyes, Qing Mei burst into tears.
"Chen Ang, do you know how bitterly I've loved you? Do you know?"
"I know, I know everything. Qing Mei, I'm sorry; don't love me so hard in the future."
As soon as he said this, Qing Mei widened her eyes instantly.
Meeting her eyes, Chen Ang wiped away her tears and said word by word: "Qing Mei, let me love you from now on. I will use all my strength to love you and guarantee I won't let you be sad again. Give me a chance, can you?"
Her hanging heart dropped heavily, and Qing Mei nodded forcefully.
"Chen Ang, I will love you as hard as ever, because I love you, so I am willing to do so."
"Then can you allow me to love you?"
"Yes, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Chen Ang, I feel like my dream has come true."
Looking at her silly appearance, Chen Ang kissed her forcefully.
At this moment, all misunderstandings vanished like smoke in thin air. The two had only each other in their hearts, lingering with all their strength.
Holding each other, they both wished they could rub the other into their bones, exclusively enjoying everything about the other.
While they were lingering, the Butterfly Clan people breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"It's good now; we don't have to leave."
"If we don't have to leave, let's go back. We can't watch the scene here; if the boss knows we were peeking, he'll definitely twist our heads off. Let's go, let's go; we came secretly and will return secretly, don't expose ourselves."
Knowing he made sense, the Butterfly Clan people hurriedly followed him and left.
