Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 855 - 605: Side Story—Heartache

Song Ziyu looked out the window, seeing Song Xuyao already getting off the helicopter.

"Xiaoyan, look..." Song Ziyu immediately said.

Qiao Xiaoyan hadn’t expected that Song Xuyao would come to the small town of G City by helicopter.

"I don’t want to see him!" Qiao Xiaoyan shook her head.

Song Ziyu immediately said, "You leave first! I’ll cover you."

After Qiao Xiaoyan left, Song Ziyu came out, "Sir Song, so fast! Didn’t you reject Xiaoyan before? Coming by helicopter to chase a girl now, that’s progress!"

"Where’s Xiaoyan?" Song Xuyao’s face was very stern.

"She doesn’t want to see you!" Song Ziyu sighed, "If you want to pursue her, just say it, why hide behind work? She asked Situ Rui for confirmation, which made her even angrier!"

Song Xuyao coldly said, "I’m not pursuing her! It’s just work."

"Alright! You’re being stubborn and making yourself suffer!" Song Ziyu said, "Anyway, bro, I hope you’re happy, and I also hope Xiaoyan’s happy!"

The mention of "bro" made Song Xuyao’s iron-hard expression soften a bit, "Ziyu, things aren’t like you think. You should know, I have my principles, and I’m not just going to talk about my difficulties. Okay, I’m going to find Xiaoyan."

After saying this, Song Xuyao took out his phone to check Xiaoyan’s location, heading in the direction of the hotel.

Song Ziyu pointed at Song Xuyao, "You’re too sneaky! You actually set a locator on Xiaoyan’s phone... If you’d known this, why not sooner?"

"I’ve told you, things aren’t what you think!" Song Xuyao glared at her, "Are you that free? Is the small town built? Don’t you care about your kids?"

Song Ziyu bantered with him, "I am quite free, because whether it’s work or family affairs, Su Tianqing handles them for me, how’s that?"

"Then go idly on your way!" Song Xuyao heard the overflowing happiness in her tone.

Song Xuyao went to the hotel and opened the door to the room but didn’t see any sign of Qiao Xiaoyan, though her phone was on the table.

Song Xuyao’s heart instantly tightened, and he hurriedly called Song Ziyu, "Where’s Xiaoyan? Ziyu, I’m not joking with you, and I’m not here for romance drama, I really have an urgent matter!"

Song Ziyu also hurried to the hotel, "She was supposed to stay here, the phone is here, I didn’t hide her... Bro, could she have been taken by bad guys?"

Song Xuyao’s face changed as he also worried about Qiao Xiaoyan being in danger!

"If I’d known there was danger, I should’ve kept her earlier." Song Ziyu stomped, "Now what? I’ll get the townspeople to look for her..."

"No need!" Song Xuyao lit a cigarette and calmed down, in this small town, apart from Bai Ye taking her away, no one else would do this, if the townspeople start searching, Bai Ye’s identity might be exposed.

Song Ziyu didn’t understand, "But Xiaoyan could be in danger!"

Song Xuyao shook his head, "Not for now."

Song Ziyu watched him, seeing that despite his anxious demeanor, there was more an unspeakable pain, she reached out and patted his shoulder, "Bro, no matter what decision you make, Chenxi truly hopes for your happiness! Don’t keep dwelling on the past, okay? Tian Xin’s family also hopes for your happiness."

Song Xuyao persisted in saying, "I’m really not here for personal feelings, forget it, you go home and rest..."

Seeing him so stubborn, Song Ziyu let it go, she wasn’t the first to witness his stubborn self.

A while later, Song Xuyao walked out the door, recalling that Bai Ye was quite familiar with the small town, where would he take Qiao Xiaoyan?

As night fell, Song Xuyao could only go to places Bai Ye used to frequent, hoping to find them?

Bai Ye, being a former policeman, naturally wouldn’t use the phone that was located when taking Qiao Xiaoyan, making it impossible for anyone to find them.

Song Ziyu saw Song Xuyao searching alone everywhere, finding it strange, after all, they both shared the surname Song, why wouldn’t he let her send people?

Nonetheless, she still followed behind Song Xuyao, arriving in front of an unfinished building when Song Xuyao suddenly disappeared.

Song Ziyu quickly went to look, only to be caught by a sudden hand as she ran over, she was about to shout when she saw it was Song Xuyao holding her.

"Bro..." Song Ziyu shouted, "You’re so strong, let go..."

"Why are you following me?" Song Xuyao said displeased.

"I’m worried about Xiaoyan! You won’t let me send people to find her!" Song Ziyu promptly said, "Why are you searching alone?"

Song Xuyao looked at her, "Go home! It’s not for you to know, so don’t ask!"

Song Ziyu: "..."

Seeing her still standing there without leaving, he glared at her, "Xiaoyan won’t be in danger temporarily, but I must find her, otherwise, danger will follow."

"So the people who took Xiaoyan won’t harm her for now." Song Ziyu analyzed, "Can’t guarantee they won’t later, right?"

Song Xuyao was left speechless, "Stop analyzing here, Mayor Song, go home and take care of your kids!"

Yet, the more Song Xuyao urged Song Ziyu to leave, the more she refused to go.

Song Xuyao ignored her, continuing to search for a place where Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye might have gone!

Suddenly, he remembered that Bai Ye was, after all, more familiar with the city. Could he have already taken Qiao Xiaoyan there?

However, upon reflection, given his current identity, he definitely couldn’t go into the city. There are too many surveillance cameras there; what if he got caught on them?

He should still be in the town, not having left!

Song Xuyao believed Bai Ye wouldn’t hurt Qiao Xiaoyan—he was certain of that. But Bai Ye’s current identity was entirely unsuitable for him to be around Qiao Xiaoyan; the disaster it would bring is unimaginable.

Bai Ye, oh Bai Ye, why are you so impulsive?

Song Xuyao’s figure was once again concealed by the twilight. Song Ziyu watched his disappearing silhouette, feeling waves of pain in his heart. When can he truly find happiness?

Qiao Xiaoyan once again saw Bai Ye in her dreams.

She looked at the familiar surroundings, as if she and Bai Ye had returned to their past times together.

She sighed quietly, wondering what was happening?

After calming down, she also understood that Bai Ye would not return; she and he met only in dreams.

"Big Bai, I’ll be fine, you don’t have to worry about me...," Qiao Xiaoyan quickly said, "I originally planned to return to City A today, but Ziyu said he hadn’t seen me in a long time, so I stayed..."

Bai Ye saw her eyes still red, "Fool, you’re the same wherever you are. I don’t mind..."

Qiao Xiaoyan laughed: "How am I foolish? You always call people stupid..."

Bai Ye lowered his head to kiss her...

Qiao Xiaoyan felt as if he really was kissing her, yet there was also a different feeling!

Even though it was a dream, it felt so real.

Qiao Xiaoyan felt she was falling into an illusion, unsure of what day it was!

She knew Bai Ye was no longer there; he had left her side forever. How could he be so tangibly beside her again?

Moreover, she could feel his heartbeat, the "thump, thump" sound, seemingly a strong existence not to be ignored.

Just then, a flurry of footsteps echoed.

Immediately after, two punches sounded out.

Soon, they disappeared without a trace, and Qiao Xiaoyan slowly lost consciousness.

"You’re crazy!" Song Xuyao found Bai Ye and Qiao Xiaoyan.

At this moment, Bai Ye was kissing her.

He searched all the places they might have gone; in a house where they had once taken care of a dog, he finally found them.

Song Xuyao worried Bai Ye might have taken Qiao Xiaoyan back to the city, but emotionally, the bond in the town seemed stronger.

Because in the town, Bai Ye and Qiao Xiaoyan had built a friendship.

Thus, Song Xuyao stayed in town to find them.

Unexpectedly, what he saw was Bai Ye kissing Qiao Xiaoyan.

Yet now he personally pushed her to another man!

Bai Ye saw Song Xuyao approaching, realizing he should have taken Qiao Xiaoyan to the city.

Bai Ye was unreservedly punched twice by Song Xuyao, who now was much more restrained. It might have something to do with age; after all, he was over thirty.

He was no longer a rash young man in his early twenties; both in age and thought, he kept growing.

It goes to show how angry he was with Bai Ye’s actions upon finding Qiao Xiaoyan.

The three of them were linked in a way that affected everything; anyone could be caught in a passive state.

But for Bai Ye, Qiao Xiaoyan was far too important.

"I am crazy! The dogs that accompanied her died so tragically, and yet you defend that Nian Enxi! What do you think Qiao Xiaoyan is?" Bai Ye viciously questioned him, "It’s fine if you don’t like her, but to hurt her for another woman, are you even a man?"

Song Xuyao’s face was ashen; he had to think about the bigger picture. He was the leader of the team and had to ensure the life safety of each member. While he could disregard his own, he couldn’t ignore his brothers’.

"I pushed Qiao Xiaoyan away for her own good; our situation together is perilous!" Song Xuyao was still incredibly angry, "You’re putting yourself in danger sneaking in to see her! Do you know if our Europe District police region was blown up, could they not search for you? I even suspect all their actions might be targeting police retaliation. Do you understand how dangerous you are?"

"When I feigned my death to become an undercover agent, I already knew!" Bai Ye said, "Who made me fake my death? Who made me be an undercover? If none of this had happened, she and I would have been married with children long ago!"

Song Xuyao gazed at his anguished expression, having lost Song Chenxi himself, thus understanding Bai Ye’s pain. He quietly said, "After this, you can stop being an undercover and a policeman. We’ll give you a new identity, and you can take Qiao Xiaoyan anywhere you wish."
