Chapter 278: He Came to Apologize
Pear garden!After dinner, Banxia sent Aunt Lan home to rest, and she leaned alone against the pillar of the corridor.
Staring at the light overhead, she thought, if the lights go out again, it must be Yan Ting coming to her house to turn off the electricity.
Thinking about this man always appearing unexpectedly, a sweet feeling surged in Banxia’s heart.
However, when she thought about today’s overwhelming news about his engagement to Chu Tingting, that touch of sweetness turned bitter, instantly plunging her into despair.
If this decision was brought up by Old Sir Huo, then there is a fifty percent chance it will succeed.
In her past life, Yan Ting and Chu Tingting got engaged...
A sudden suffocating pain gripped her chest, as if even breathing could hurt.
During the engagement ceremony in her previous life, Banxia couldn’t remember why she didn’t attend; maybe she and Qing Lin were having another emotional skirmish at the time.
But she later heard that the engagement ended unhappily, and although Yan Ting and Chu Tingting were rumored to be together afterwards, until the moment she died, they never truly got married.
Thinking of these things, Banxia’s heart tightened even more, feeling suffocated.
She couldn’t help but wonder if their engagement failure in the past life was also because of her?
Was it?
In the past life, Yan Ting probably secretly loved her; could it be that her absence from his engagement feast led to its failure?
Thinking about it, it really makes one’s heart race.
When Banxia was caught up in her wild thoughts, the surroundings suddenly darkened — a power outage.
This time she was experienced and didn’t panic at all, but her heart was racing faster and faster, her face flushed, and her breath quickened.
Has he come?
Banxia stood still, afraid to move, and suddenly, she heard heavy footsteps approaching from behind her.
"Banxia..." The man’s deep, magnetic voice called her name, filled with thick affection and a mesmerizing allure.
Banxia spun around, and beneath the faint glow, the man’s tall, straight figure was hidden in the corridor’s shadow.
"Yan Ting..." Banxia called his name, somewhat losing her composure.
"Been waiting for me all along?" The man saw her charming small figure emerging from behind the column, his thin lips curved into a smile again.
Hearing his words, Banxia hurriedly controlled the strong emotions within her; no, she definitely must not appear too forward.
"Who said that? I’m admiring tonight’s moonlight." Banxia quickly extended a finger, pointing upwards...
"Is there moonlight tonight?" Yan Ting slightly raised his eyes, his tone laced with teasing.
Banxia shivered all over, immediately taking a few quick steps, walking out of the corridor, standing on the garden path, looking up, searching for the so-called moonlight.
No way, it was overcast today!
The lie was thus easily exposed, leaving Banxia utterly embarrassed.
"You really look adorable when you lie." Banxia was at a loss, and suddenly the man’s tall body pressed against her back, her little head gently resting in his solid embrace.
The familiar scent penetrated her nostrils, and she involuntarily turned around, reaching out to wrap her arms tightly around his sturdy waist, her blushing cheek deeply nuzzling into his chest.
Seeing the childish look of the woman in his arms, Yan Ting’s heart fluttered, his strong arms closing in, holding her tightly.
"I’m sorry for hurting you." Dropping by her ear was the man’s deep and apologetic voice.
