Chapter 1323 What Happened After I Left?

• All of a sudden, a warm presence enveloped her from behind. “In the past nine years, why didn’t you tell me? You knew full well that I’ve been searching for you.” As Xiao Yibo spoke, his hands around Zhou Xiaoyu tightened time and again. “Do you know how much I missed you?”
• Zhou Xiaoyu’s entire person was trembling. She’d fantasized about such a scenario countless times and had also been despaired countless times. Never had she thought that the person who’d reveal this relationship one day would be Xiao Yibo himself. She recalled the intense joy that had flooded her when she first encountered him at the hotel back when she was 17 years old, the joys and sorrows when she’d silently keep him company by his side for those 9 years, as well as the hopelessness that swamped her when she learned that he liked men and that he was going to marry Yang Jinxi.
• But I thought he was entirely unaware? After a brief moment of stupefaction, she suddenly had a moment of clarity, upon which she started giggling. She was probably truly an idiot, for she should’ve thought of it when he’d gone to her hometown to look for her. After all, with his personality, why would he travel thousands of miles just to look for an insignificant assistant? Why would he suddenly stop searching for Chu Xi? And why would he fall for her within a few months of her return when he’d been indifferent to her after nine years of interaction?
