Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 512: The spirit of Jian'an still exists today, and the legacy of Wei Wu will last forever! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Ms. Xia Jiang..."

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He raised his hand and gently but firmly smoothed Xia Jiang's messy hair. His eyes were full of pity and sincerity. His tone was deep and firm. Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Xia Jiang's heart: "There is nothing wrong with your love. It was just despicable and tainted by Xiao Wu."

"As for the death of Mr. Gozo, perhaps Mr. Xiaowu, no, Zaishi Takehiko, it is true that he had the opportunity to enter the Hatamoto family and get close to Mr. Gozo because of you. However, this is just a part of his conspiracy and it is not your fault. You are still the unique Miss Xia Jiang who shines like the brightest star in the night sky and deserves to be treated gently by the world."

"Because, with Takehiko Zaishiro's deep-rooted hatred for the Hatamoto family, even if you weren't there, there would definitely be other innocent people who would become his 'stepping stones' and 'chess pieces'. He has carefully planned and calculated everything, and his evil intentions are beyond the imagination and prevention of ordinary people."

At this point, Bai Ye paused and said, "Ms. Xia Jiang, you have a heart as pure and kind as crystal. This precious beauty should not be tarnished or erased by the ugly behavior of others!"

Hatamoto Natsue looked into Bai Ye's sincere eyes, the fear in his eyes eased a little, but the sadness was still heavy, "But the hatred and alienation of others, the departure of my grandfather, and Xiao Wu's betrayal, all of these are like mountains, weighing heavily on my heart, making it almost impossible for me to breathe."

Hatamoto Natsue's body trembled slightly, her eyes were intertwined with pain and confusion, like a deer lost in a dark forest, her lips trembled, and she uttered weak words with difficulty: "What should I do?"

Hatamoto Natsue's words were full of helplessness and self-doubt, and her body was trembling with inner sorrow, as if a breeze could blow her down.

With Grandpa dead, what will happen to the family's future? And what about her?

Bai Ye loosened his grip on her shoulders and held her hand gently instead, trying to convey some warmth, his eyes full of encouragement and trust, "Ms. Xia Jiang, although Mr. Hao Zang's departure is sad, his love and expectations for you will be your strength to move forward. Zaishi Takehiko's betrayal is only his personal sin, and it should not be a reason for you to deny yourself."

That guy is really causing a lot of harm to others!
But, forget it, considering that the other party took the initiative to "give" Hatamoto Xiajiang to him, he will not denounce the other party.

After all, if the other party hadn't hurt Hatamoto Natsue's heart, how would he have had the chance to get this advantage?

"I understand, Mr. Bai Ye..."

Hatamoto Natsue nodded slightly, with a hint of thought in her eyes. She knew that Bai Ye was right, but the pain and confusion in her heart still followed her like a shadow, casting a layer of haze on her heart that was difficult to dispel.

"But every time I try to cheer myself up, those painful memories come flooding back and drown me again!"

She began to reflect on her feelings for Xiao Wu. Was she too naive to notice his strangeness? This self-doubt made her fall into deeper pain, and she even had the idea of ​​escaping from everything. She just wanted to find a corner where no one was, hiding away, and no longer facing this cruel reality.

“I am deeply addicted to it and cannot extricate myself!”

There was a hint of despair in her voice, and crystal tears kept rolling in her eyes, as if telling of the endless sorrow and struggle in her heart.

Bai Ye gently embraced Hatamoto Xia Jiang in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his heart full of pity, and whispered softly: "Ms. Xia Jiang, I can truly feel the confusion and despair in your heart, which is a kind of helplessness and sadness after being betrayed by the person you love. I also know that you are full of pain at this moment, as if you are in endless darkness."

"But please believe that no matter how dark the darkness is, there will always be a dawn!"

Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, trying to inject a bit of peace into Hatamoto Natsue's sad and desperate heart.

"Besides, you are not alone. If you need me, I will always stand by your side and accompany you to face all the ups and downs together!"

Feeling Bai Ye's steady and powerful heartbeat, and that embrace as warm as a spring breeze, Hatamoto Natsue's heart struggled in pain and confusion. On the one hand, she was grateful for the warmth and comfort Bai Ye gave her at this time, as if she saw a glimmer of light in the dark abyss; on the other hand, she was deeply trapped in a mixture of love and hate for Xiao Wu. Those once sweet memories, those little bits and pieces that she once thought were happiness, are now like sharp daggers, ruthlessly stirring her heart, making her full of fear and deep suspicion of feelings and the kindness of others.

Thinking of this, Hatamoto Natsue slightly raised her tear-stained little face in Bai Ye's arms, and looked at him with tearful eyes. There was gratitude and doubt in her beautiful eyes, as well as a hint of confusion and doubt.

"Mr. Bai Ye, why are you so nice to me?"

Bai Ye's care was like a bonfire in the cold and dark night, making her feel the long-lost warmth and security. A faint voice in her heart said that perhaps she could rely on him; but the pain brought by Hatamoto Takeshi's betrayal made her feel scared and afraid of falling into the quagmire of deception again.

For a moment, her heart was wavering on the edge of trust and doubt.

"I am now just a poor person who has been abandoned by my family and betrayed by love!"

She no longer dared to trust the kindness of others easily.

Because, she once thought that Xiao Wu was everything to her, but he ended up dealing her a fatal blow, causing her to lose her grandfather who loved her so much!

She was really scared!

Bai Ye was slightly startled, then smiled calmly and said, "Ms. Xia Jiang, I just can't bear to see you in such pain. If there is any ulterior motive, it is that I hope to see you smile again. In my eyes, you are a kind and beautiful being, and you should not be swallowed by this darkness."

His eyes were clear and there was no evasiveness.

When he said this, Bai Ye paused, raised his hand, and gently stroked Hatamoto Xia Jiang's pretty face. His movements were so gentle as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world. A hint of heat flashed in his eyes, "Besides, for a beautiful and outstanding beauty like you, Miss Xia Jiang, I think no man would want to see you sad!"

Their eyes met, feeling the undisguised burning emotion in Bai Ye's eyes, Hatamoto Natsue's pretty face, with tears still on it, was now quietly stained by the sunset, quickly showing a charming blush, and her heartbeat seemed to be out of control in an instant, speeding up involuntarily, and the rapid rhythm seemed to tell of the panic and throbbing in her heart. She had speculated on the reason why Bai Ye was so good to her, perhaps because of the innate sense of justice that he held as a detective, or perhaps for some other reasons that she had not yet understood, but she had never expected that he actually had a different and deep feeling for her.

All kinds of complicated emotions instantly overwhelmed her like a surging tide. She tried her best to suppress the shyness that kept surging in her heart, and hurriedly looked away, trying to avoid the burning gaze, and said softly: "Mr. Bai Ye, your kindness, I... I don't know how to respond. My heart is now full of the pain of the past and the confusion about the future. I really don't have the courage to easily get involved in emotional matters again."

Every time she thought about the past, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles. She was in great pain. She was afraid to face each day in the future and didn't know how to rebuild her shattered life.

Moreover, because of the incident with Takeshi Hatamoto, she was like a child lost in the dark. The building of trust in her heart had collapsed, and she was full of instinctive resistance and suspicion towards new emotional approaches.

Hatamoto Natsue lowered her head slightly, looking at the ground with empty eyes. Memories kept flooding in like a tide, making her extremely painful.

"I thought Xiao Wu was everything to me. I gave him my heart without reservation, but he trampled on it so easily. I really don't know if I can trust others again."

Her voice was slightly choked, and the sea breeze gently blew her hair, making her look even more pitiful.

Bai Ye slightly tightened his arms around her, and the strength seemed to silently convey his determination and protection. His eyes were sincere and ardent, and his tone was even more resolute: "Ms. Xia Jiang, I understand your hesitation and fear. I don't expect you to give me an immediate answer. I just want you to know that my company has nothing to do with any interests or purposes, but because I can't bear to see you in such pain."

At this point, Bai Ye paused and said, "I also know that it is difficult for you to trust others after experiencing such a heavy blow. You don't need to believe me immediately, because I will use time and actions to prove that in your most difficult time, I will always be here, never leave you, and accompany you through this difficult time until you are willing to open your heart again and accept me and a new life."

His voice was gentle but powerful, as if it could light a lamp for all those who were lost in this dark moment.

Hatamoto Natsue's eyes became moist again, with crystal tears swirling in them, almost ready to burst out.

The sea breeze was still howling, but in the embrace of the white night, Xia Jiang seemed to feel a long-lost warmth and tranquility. Her tears gradually stopped, but her body was still shaking slightly, as if she was trying to adapt to this sudden comfort and support.

She told herself silently in her heart that maybe she could try to trust Bai Ye once, even just a little bit.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head slightly and murmured softly: "But I am afraid that I will fail you in your deep affection. I am no longer the innocent and carefree girl I once was. Now I am covered with scars and my heart is broken. How can I be worthy of your sincere feelings?"

Is a woman as unfortunate as her, who only brings pain to those around her and is already married, really worthy of a gentle and kind man like Bai Ye?
Deep in her heart, she kept doubting and denying herself, as if she was trapped in a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

Bai Ye gently lifted her chin, his action was gentle but unyielding, forcing her eyes to meet his again, his eyes full of pity and affection: "Ms. Xia Jiang, please don't be so self-deprecating."

"As the saying goes, you can't see the rainbow without going through the storm. In my eyes, the hardships you have experienced are not shackles that make you dull and dim, but rather the chisel that carves you into a piece of peerless jade. You who have gone through hardships are more precious and moving in my heart, and have more unique charm and flavor!"

Looking at Bai Ye's firm and deep eyes, Hatamoto Xiajiang felt mixed emotions.

She wanted to believe Bai Ye's sincerity, but was afraid of being deceived again.

For a moment, her heart was in a fierce struggle. The pain of the past warned her not to trust men easily, but Bai Ye's company and sincerity made her feel a long-lost warmth in this cold world.

Moreover, her husband and grandfather had just gotten into trouble, and she found a new love. Would other people think that she was a fickle and heartless woman, or simply think that she and Bai Ye conspired to kill her grandfather and send Hatamoto Takeshi to jail?
If that were the case, wouldn't she be harming Bai Ye?
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Thank you, Bai Yejun. I am a little confused now. I want to leave here first and find a quiet place to sort out my thoughts."

At this moment, her heart longed to escape from this environment full of painful memories and to find inner peace and answers in solitude. At the same time, she was unconsciously relying on Bai Ye's support and companionship, although this dependence made her a little uneasy.

Bai Ye nodded gently and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, Miss Xia Jiang, I respect your decision. Let's go, I'll take you back!"

"Um……"

The two walked slowly on the way back, the light stretching their shadows very long.

Bai Ye walked silently beside Hatamoto Natsue, without saying anything else, just quietly accompanying her.

He knew that what Xia Jiang needed now was not more words, but understanding and space.

Although Hatamoto Natsue, who was beside him, was still filled with confusion and anxiety, Bai Ye's silence and companionship gave her an inexplicable comfort, making her feel that she was no longer facing all this alone, and she seemed to have a little courage to stand up again.

Although this courage was still very weak, it was like a starlight in the darkness, bringing her hope.

At the same time, she began to realize that perhaps Bai Ye’s words were not false to her, and perhaps in this complicated world, there really was someone who could support her selflessly.

Thinking of this, a determined light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her steps gradually became firmer.

Although the confusion in her heart has not completely dissipated, and the road ahead is still full of unknowns, she knows that at least at this moment, she is not alone...
