Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

Finale

Chapter 379: Finale (3)

Mo Li had been waiting for this moment for so many years. Finally, Jiang Shuxuan had woken up. She expected him to be as excited as herself at this point.

To her horror, Jiang Shuxuan reacted as if he had not even seen her!

“My brother has already woken up.” Mo Li peered at Gu Xiqiao, whose expression was stone cold. She could sense hints of mockery with a dash of sympathy on her face.

She was so fixated on Gu Xiqiao that she failed to notice how hostile Jiang Shuxuan’s expression had transformed!

Silently, he leapt past her. His attention was on a thin figure who stood behind her. Underneath his cold exterior, she could sense something warm flowing around.

Mo Li stood there, frozen in her tracks as she continued being ignored by the very person whom she looked forward to meeting for the past couple of years.

It wasn’t Mo Li alone who was shocked beyond words. The 81-man formation who stood guard behind her were baffled by the turn of events.

According to popular hearsay, as high and mighty their master was, they did not expect him to outright ignore someone whom he knew, let alone a person like Mo Li.

Gu Xiqiao did not walk forwards. She merely glanced at Jiang Shuxuan with a light smile on her face.

Her smile, although gentle, glowed underneath the sunlight. As a light breeze blew past them, her dark hair fluttered around, making the whole scene seem almost as if it had been taken from a painting.

Mo Li glared at Gu Xiqiao, then at Jiang Shuxuan. She was in a state of pure disbelief!

“Brother…”

Jiang Shuxuan got visibly annoyed when he heard her voice. His brows were furrowed instantly.

Gu Xiqiao quickly took notice of this. With a cheeky grin on her face, she said to Jiang Shuxuan, “Brother Jiang, you deal with this whole situation here. I’m going off to Zhuge Yan’s place.”

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t seem like he particularly enjoyed staying around here. He was noticeably disgusted upon hearing Gu Xiqiao mention Zhuge Yan’s name. Still, seeing her smile made him defenseless.

“Fine, I’ll come over as soon as I can.” He tried his best but in the end, he couldn’t help but cave in to his desire to embrace her. He marched forwards and slowly bent down with his arms wide open, ready to wrap themselves around her.

Standing there, he watched as she slowly walked off into the distance until she could no longer be seen. It was after he was sure that she left that he turned around to deal with Mo Li.

Mo Li’s facial expression was still the same—disbelief.

No one knew Jiang Shuxuan better than her. Back then, it was him that pulled her back from the deepest pits of hell, shielding her from harm the entire way. Although he rarely spoke to her, he was the only source of warmth in her life.

Mo Li did not doubt that she knew him better than anyone else here, even the parts of him which were so cold and unlikable!

She thought he would start ignoring Gu Xiqiao once he recovered his memory. Never in a million years could she have foreseen him reacting with such a merciless attitude. Had he really regained his old memories?

“Brother… you…” Mo Li’s mouth opened and closed but she was interrupted by Jiang Shuxuan before she even started asking her question.

“Do you want to know the reason why I took you under my wing back then?” asked Jiang Shuxuan. Now that Gu Xiqiao was no longer here, the wall of ice returned to his eyes. Judging by how the ground was starting to freeze underneath his feet, he was being dead serious.
