bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter lv

It has been three days since they had their most extreme arguement. After what happened that night, they never cared to have a word at each other again. Especially, Beidou, who mysteriously stopped visiting every midnight while Ningguang awaits for her and expects that she will come. But she realized that Beidou must have been so upset regarding their fight that it's just normal for her to act so distant. The harsh words she said on that night only sank in on her thoughts by now, figuring that she went too overboard that she forgot that Beidou is also going through so much pain. If only then, she wished for that night to never happen.

But three days is too much for her sudden absence and she knew that Beidou would never act that way. Anyway, she tries to shake off the feeling of worry and trusted that her love will be alright. Because right now at this moment, the guilt is swallowing her whole and wishes to apologize in order to save their precious relationship which is currently hanging off the cliff.

Going back, Yanfei informed Ningguang that this day is also the day wherein it'll convince the people that the Tianxuan is a fake. A fact which truly excited her the most seeing that Beidou would be therefore proven as innocent once Kun Jun retrieves the memory of that one particular ore. She smiles at this and within a second, her anxiety was washed off. Imagining how beautiful it would be that her love will possess freedom again. She couldn't wait to tell Beidou the news after that happens.

They are all seated inside their meeting room which screamed tension especially the Tianxuan who mustered all he can to flash a confident face while having his fingers crossed all the time. When Ningguang sees him, she couldn't help but to smirk in satisfaction as she could already feel their triumph after being in anguish. While her heels clanked between the straining atmosphere and sat on a spot right next to her friends which are Keqing, Ganyu and Yanfei (she finally admits and treats them as her friend), then they chatter for a while, Yanfei looking so confident at this moment.

He clicked his tongue and leaned on the table, "I am telling you, Tianquan... Someday soon enough, I will make you suffer for attempting to overthrow my plans." he said almost in a whisper but the other ladies still heard it and was now guaranteed the he is a man with dark intentions, "At first, that captain ruined Changyin's plan to replace you as Tianquan and now you are also ruining mine? Hmp! I wish death upon you two..." he hissed then leaned back, plastering a now calmed expression like he didn't threathen Ningguang.

Instead of feeling scared about it, she only stares at him blankly, ignored him completely then turned away to the direction where Uncle Tian and Kun Jun had entered. The rock expert seemed to be confused why he was called mostly the part wherein some of the members also entered their meeting room quickly, also eager to know the results from the future shocking revelation. They all sat at their usual spots and chattered at each other. Uncle Tian gestures his long time friend to seat right next to him and after that he told everyone to stay quiet.

"Good day. Right now we have today is Mister Kun Jun, a rock expert and a specialist who could perceive the memories of an ore." he introduced in which Kun Jun stood abruptly and waved his hand in a sly manner.

"We are here to decide upon the rumors of the Tianxuan and that only an ore could could convince all of us otherwise." he stated and nodded.

The Tianxuan butts in, "Mister Tianshu, I believe it is better if we are to focus our minds concerning Captain Beidou's location for the reason that a guard on duty spotted that she appeared to have visited the Jade Chamber two days ago." he blurted out, attempting to distract them from their main task.

Ningguang widens her eyes in shock when she heard that Beidou had been at her place even though there is a possibility that the Tianxuan is only diverting their attention. She felt unsettled, recalling the time two days ago whether she overslept or not and maybe that's the reason why she hadn't seen her love, she must have not noticed her appearance. This bothered her even more, trying to remember if she felt something odd that time but she was too groggy since she indulged herself on a sleeping herbal.
