Chapter 155: Predestined Fate

Cheng Yang saw that she was indeed tired and could only let her go and rest. He would leave what he had to say for later.

Xiao Ying returned to her room and silently summoned the amulet. “Is there really no other way?”

The amulet: “Master, the destined energy source’s fate cannot be changed. You have already interfered too much.”

Xiao Ying hugged her body and slowly squatted on the ground. She felt cold all over.

After the amulet absorbed Zhou Yao’s energy, it told her the reason why it had disappeared for such a long time.

Because she had forcefully changed Cheng Yang’s fate too much, the Heavenly Dao was automatically restoring his fate.

“Master, you must leave him. He must be alone at this time, or his fate will become even worse.”

These words made Xiao Ying’s body turn cold.

In his previous life, Cheng Yang’s ending had been that of a serial murderer.

No…

No!

She would never let that happen.

Xiao Ying buried her head in her knees and made a decision.

The amulet sensed her thoughts and said, “Master, forcefully changing fate will cause you and him to suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.”

Xiao Ying said, “What if we don’t let the Heavenly Dao discover us?”

Ssss—

The amulet emitted an electric sound, not understanding what its owner meant or why she was insisting on changing fate.

The next morning, Xiao Ying walked out of her room with a suitcase.

When Cheng Yang saw this situation, his expression turned cold. “Ying’er, where are you going?”

Xiao Ying’s expression was even colder than his. “After what happened between you and Wen Jing, what has my whereabouts got to do with you?”

Cheng Yang frowned and explained, “Yesterday, that was all Wen Jing’s acting. I wasn’t at the office.”

“Why should I believe you?”

Xiao Ying was about to leave with her luggage when Cheng Yang grabbed her and said coldly, “You don’t believe me?”

“Let’s break up,” Xiao Ying said quickly.

Cheng Yang looked at her in disbelief.

Xiao Ying’s body stiffened and she did not dare to look into his eyes. She quickly struggled free from his grip and walked away with her head lowered.

This time, Cheng Yang didn’t stop her.

Even after Xiao Ying had left for a long time, he still stood there in a daze, weakly clenching his empty palm.

Tears fell from Xiao Ying’s eyes as she walked out the door. She said silently, “I’m sorry.”

Looking at the closed door, her expression became firm again. Brother would definitely understand her. This was her confidence in their feelings for each other.

After she left, she found a hotel to stay in and wanted to contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When she returned to the laboratory tomorrow, she received a message from Qiao Na, inviting her to visit the University of Medicine.

Xiao Ying happily agreed.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw Cheng Yang at the door.

He stood at the door and did not knock. The cold air around him indicated that he had been standing there for a long time.

Xiao Ying’s expression remained icy cold as she said, “What are you doing here?”

Cheng Yang softened his voice and said, “Ying’er, don’t ignore me.”

His helplessness put Xiao Ying in pain, but she could only say coldly, “We’ve already broken up.”

Cheng Yang’s aura changed. “Why?”

He knew that it couldn’t be because of Wen Jing. Xiao Ying was not like that.

“I don’t like you anymore. I threw away the music box from back then.” Xiao Ying closed the door after saying that.

Cheng Yang frowned. The music box?

He returned to the apartment and quickly went to Xiao Ying’s room. The music box that he had given her when she was young was placed on the bedside table.

After so many years, she had always treasured it. It still looked brand new.

Cheng Yang picked up the music box and looked at it carefully, finding nothing strange.

However, the look in Xiao Ying’s eyes just now made him feel that something was wrong. Furthermore, the music box was clearly fine. Why had she said that she had thrown it away?

On Xiao Ying’s side, she sat on the couch nervously after closing the door, wondering if this hint would have any repercussions.

“Master, did you say something to the destined energy source just now?”
