Chapter 208: Rivals?
Jayden took in a deep breath and decided to go back, he had been doing this for a few hours now, and he was also planning to practice some more at the night.
He opened the portal and after stepping through it, arrived back in his room.
It was already evening, then Jayden decided to go and meet Jia, he was thinking of giving her an energy channeling treatment. After changing into a different set of clothes, he heads down the stairs.
‘ I should buy new clothes, at this rate all of my clothes will be torn. ‘ he thought, the tasks in the training were getting more and more difficult.
As he entered Jia’s working space, he saw that she was picking up documents, from behind he asks: ” Are you going somewhere? ”
Jia looked back, a little surprised by his sudden appearance, she wondered why she couldn’t sense his presence: ” Yes, I’m going to attend a meeting, and it’ll probably be quite late when I return. ” She said.
” Then are you planning to eat outside? ” He asked, sitting on one of the chairs.
” No, I’ll cook food for us before I leave. ” Jia replied, still focused on her documents.
” Actually, you don’t have to worry about- ” Jayden words were interrupted by a light knock on the door.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Before Jayden could stand, Jia spoke: ” Wait here, I’ll check it out. ” Then placing the documents down, she walks towards the door.
Opening the door, Jia saw Xiao Rong standing outside wearing a beautiful dress with light makeup on her face, she was looking more beautiful than ever.
Wang Jia was surprised since this was the first time she have seen Xiao like that.
Xiao smiled at Jia and greeted her: ” Hello Matriarch. ”
Jia responded with a smile of her own and spoke: ” Hello Xiao, this is the first time you have come to my house, did you want to discuss something? ”
Xiao gently shook her head and replied: ” I came here to see Wang Jin. ”
Jia’s smile disappeared after hearing her words, still pasting a forced smile she asks: ” See Jin? Why do you want to see him? ”
In her mind, she thought: ‘ I had heard that in the past Jin had proposed his love to her and she rejected him, then why did she come here to see him now? ‘
” Uh… W- We wanted to talk about s- some cultivation stuff. ”
Xiao made an excuse, but she had always been extremely bad at lying and so Jia knew that it wasn’t the true purpose of her arrival.
” Come, he is inside. ” Jia said and walked towards her room. After entering, she looked at Jayden who seemed to be reading some paper and spoke:
” Jin, someone came to see you. ”
Jayden placed the paper down and looked above, he was slightly stunned as he looked at Xiao Rong.
He had completely forgotten that she was coming to meet him, and she was looking more beautiful.
Xiao Rong was satisfied after seeing his reaction and felt that all the effort was worth it. Jia looked at Xiao from the corner of her eyes, then looking back at her son she asks:
” Did you have something important to talk to her? ”
” Hmmm, I guess so. ” Jayden replied, looking at Jia.
‘ Don’t tell me that she likes my Jin now and wants to confess her love or something. ‘ Jia wondered, she glared at Xiao with a not so friendly gaze.
Xiao Rong felt her piercing gaze, this was the first time Jia had looked at her like that, after a second she asked: ” Matriarch is everything fine? ”
Jia calmed her expression and showing a smile, she nodded, and then looking at Jayden spoke: ” I guess I’ll have to eat outside today. ” But internally she was hoping that Jayden would stop her.
Just as she turned, she heard his voice: ” You can go after eating, I don’t think I’ll like the food from the hotels around here, after tasting the food made by you. ”
Hearing his words, Jia turned around with a smile she was feeling really happy she showed Xiao a victorious smile and walks towards the kitchen.
” Have you eaten yet? ” Jayden asks, glancing at Xiao.
” Um not yet. ” She responded, Xiao was feeling strange looking at Wang Jia’s expressions.
” Then let’s talk after eating. ” He said and offers her a chair, then he walks towards the kitchen too.
Seeing that he had left Xiao Rong alone there and was instead came to her, Jia felt even more euphoric, she laughed and talked to him even more loudly, wanting to make it clear that Xiao couldn’t take Jin.
After some time, they finished preparing the food, and although Jia was reluctant to let Xiao eat the food she created for Jayden, still, she didn’t say anything and served the food for everyone.
While eating, it was Jia who talked to Jayden most of the time and occasionally made small conversations with Xiao.
Xiao was feeling a bit awkward while eating the food, but the food was really tasty so she didn’t pay much attention to other things.
After finishing their food, Jia had to leave, this meeting was important even though she didn’t wanted to leave Jayden alone with Xiao, but she had no choice.
Taking one last glance at Jayden, she flew away towards her meeting destination.
Jayden was sitting on a chair with Xiao sitting in front of him, looking at her indifferently he asks: ” Now tell me, what do you want to talk about? ”
” I wanted to tell you that I broke my engagement with Qiang. ” She said, searching the right words to continue the talk.
” Yeah, you already told me about this the last time. ” He replied.
Taking in a long breath, she spoke: ” I want to tell you that I- I love you, I know I took a very long time to recognise my feelings, but I finally understand that I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. ” She said, anticipating his reply.
” Sorry, but I don’t feel the same about you, anymore, I believe that we are not compatible with each other. So, I guess this is the end of our conversation. ” Jayden said.
Xiao felt a pang of pain in her heart, she knew she had rejected him so many times and even after returning from the Jade forest she made such a stupid mistake, so obviously he would be angry. But she was adamant about making Wang Jin hers.
” I know I made a terrible mistake, but please give me at least one chance, I will prove that I truly love you. ” She pleaded. ” Didn’t you tell me previously that forgetting someone you love is impossible? ”
” It is difficult, but life will go on and you will eventually meet new people and form new relations so feelings aren’t eternal, and you might later feel that maybe it was actually a good thing that everything turned out the way it has. ” He said.
” D- Did you really not love me anymore? ” She asked, feeling her heart break, tears were forming at the corners of her eyes.
