Even so, Xirong Ziye fought hard to suppress his emotions. He couldn't let himself cough out blood.

His face turned pale. He expended a lot of effort in order to suppress his feelings.

However, the rims of his eyes turned red, and they were filled with pain. Tears threatened to roll down his cheeks.

Men didn't shed tears easily, unless they've been hurt by what saddened them the most.

Just hearing Yaoyao's words, he almost passed out.

He had never expected that he had given her so much pain during that period.

Just imagining that if Yaoyao really had inflicted pain on herself during that time, and that he wouldn't be able to see her anymore, Xirong Ziye's heart felt as though something was piercing through it. At that moment, his heart felt desolate and helpless, but he was also relieved and grateful that Yaoyao was still alive and well.

Now, he merely had one thought in his head. He just wanted Yaoyao to be well.

Seeing Xirong Ziye in pain, Bai Yaoyao closed her eyes. Turning around, she wanted to leave.

She thought that she would only be reminded of the painful past if she stayed any longer with Xirong Ziye. She didn't want to feel so suffocated anymore.

However, after taking a few steps, Xirong Ziye grabbed her arm. "Yaoyao, don't leave, please."

"Xirong Ziye, looking at you, I'm only reminded of the past. I feel very uncomfortable. Don't you get it? For our own good, you should let me go!"

Xirong Ziye shook his head. "No, Yaoyao, I can't do that. Weren't you crying earlier too? Did someone upset you? I can't bear to see you cry."

The moment Bai Yaoyao heard those words, her mood turned foul, and she slapped Xirong Ziye's hand away. "Xirong Ziye, that has nothing to do with you."

Seeing Bai Yaoyao's expression, Xirong Ziye truly felt upset. Pursing his lips, he asked, "Yaoyao, have you fallen for someone else?"

Bai Yaoyao scoffed. "Ha! Xirong Ziye, are you interrogating me? We don't seem to be related in any way. You don't have any right to ask me."

"No, Yaoyao. You're so cold to me, and you even cried too. It's natural that I think that way."

Bai Yaoyao's brows twitched. With a mocking look in her eyes, she said, "Xirong Ziye, this doesn't concern you at all. When you were together with Miss Xiamu, I didn't question you and minded my own business. I am free to like anyone, and whoever I like or am together with has nothing to do with you."

"Yaoyao!"

Bai Yaoyao replied coldly, "Xirong Ziye, why are you still pestering me? You've already restricted my freedom in the past. Are you going to do it again now?"

Xirong Ziye shook his head. "No."

"Then, you have no right to ask me why I cried too."

"Yaoyao, I've finally found you after going through so much trouble."

"Xirong Ziye, I didn't want you to look for me. Ever since you chased me out, I've seen everything clearly. It's been such a long time, and I've already gotten over it. You're right. I've met someone who treats and protects me well. You didn't cherish me, and I surely would find someone who will."

Thinking back on how badly he had treated her, Bai Yaoyao couldn't speak nicely to him at all.

Back then, she had cried all day long and lost sleep every day. When she felt helpless and alone, he had been together with Xiamu Qingyan.

Even when she was about to leave Country E, she read the news on their marriage at the airport. Their photos were even posted all over. How could she have felt when she saw them?

And with just a few words, did Xirong Ziye expect her to forgive him and speak to him nicely?

She was a soldier now, and she must act as dignified as a soldier should.
