Normally one would be happy when thanked, but they wouldnt be if it was because they revealed their panties!
When Claire saw Lin Xiaos pleased smile, she felt like she purposely fell to show Lin Xiao her underwear.
Hmph, you clearly called a tomboy before, now youre looking at ? You sure have bad taste.
That was just teasing you, princess, youre a genuine confident beauty! Since she was so calm, Lin Xiao didnt mince his words either and walked over to extend a hand.
Oh? Confident beauty? Then what other types of beauty are there?
Claire smiled and grabbed his hand to stand up.
Theres also the goddess type.
Such as?
Like my maid, Elena.
Silver hair, red eyes, and cold, that does indeed seem to be the case what else?
Also the charming type, like Sister Ying.
ShenDai Ying? Mature, generous, dignified, and elegant, as expected of a foreign pearl what else?
Also the loli type, like my sister.
Saintess Snow? Isnt that because shes still a child!
I dont care, theyre all beauties!
So that ans Im ranked last? A tomboy like doesnt fit in with any of those three types, so you had to make another one for , right?
Why would you think that?
Is that not the case? After all, any beauty can be called confident.
Claire, so things are better not said out loud
So you werent complinting , but indirectly insulting ?
How could I? Pff
Bastard, dont laugh!
Haha cough, okay, lets change the subject.
Lin Xiao smiled and shrugged then walked into the room. He sat next to so snacks on the table and shoved so into his mouth then looked at Claire and indicated for her to sit down.
Dont be shy, you want so?
Of course, I wont be shy, since this is my house hey, let make that clear!
Well, whats that between us.
You!?
Claire didnt know what he ant, but then saw him taking out a small round dal and shook it around. She imdiately recognized it as Gothams dragon.
It seems like he already knew everything. Claires heart sank and had a bad feeling.
Did Lin Xiao suddenly visit to return it to her!?
Although it was priceless and no one else would return it, Lin Xiao wasnt normal and it might beco a burden to him. Because it carried Claires feelings, and it seems like Lin Xiao didnt want to accept those feelings
D-do you already know all about it?
Yeah, Deborah told I never thought the princess would be so generous, Im a bit overwheld.
Sorry, I didnt an to hide it from you.
You were just afraid I wouldnt accept it, right?
Yes.
If you suddenly gave this to and told I was the countrys hero, then I definitely wouldnt have accepted it.
So you ca today for this?
Well, kind of.
Lin Xiao gently placed the dal on the table.
Claires expression dimd as she saw him hand it over. It wasnt placed on anyones side but directly in the middle of the table, but this placent only had one aning.
He was returning it.
Claire clenched her fist as she stared at the small golden dal.
She didnt understand what she did wrong. She already restrained herself. After Lin Xiao rejected her, she didnt bother him but just silently waited and when Lin Xiao needed help, she didnt hesitate and even gave him the precious Gothams dragon.
She didnt expect anything in return, even if Lin Xiao didnt accept her in the end, she would have no regrets. She just wanted to do whatever she could for him. Claire didnt want much, but just to be able to help when he needed it, why couldnt he even allow that much?
Returning it ant Lin Xiao didnt want to have any involvent with her, or perhaps he just saw her as an NPC in a ga.
What camaraderie was there toward an NPC?
Rather than ruthless, heartless would be more apt.
Towards soone ruthless, Claire could still try to use her sincerity to reform them, but she couldnt do anything to soone heartless.
So she could only admit defeat
Y-yes, I was too rude.
Even if it felt like her heart was being wrenched out, with Claires personality, how could she show an ugly expression? If she cried, wouldnt that be even more embarrassing?
So she took a couple of deep breaths, Lin Xiao, after giving this to you, my father got angry and scolded .
What? Your father didnt agree?
Yes, I decided it on my own but he still accepted it later on, because he knows how strong you are!
Thats good, but it still feels like I owe you sothing.
Dont say that, how could you owe ? It was all my fault, I was too willful.
Claire barely squeezed out a smile.
Youre right. I shouldnt have hidden it and forced it on you You must have been troubled when you found out, right?
I was just surprised since I didnt even know what it was, so they did laugh about it and almost thought I was a fraud!
Haha, thats right, if you didnt even know, that would happen. So, what did you want to do?
I um hm, its hard to say. Lin Xiao awkwardly scratched his head and was evidently embarrassed.
His awkward behavior reinforced Claires guess that he ca to return it.
Lin Xiao, Im not that kind of unreasonable woman, I can accept reality.
Since he couldnt say it, then she would say it for him!
You arent willing to accept my help and dont want anything to do with okay then, Ill just give up.
Its just heartbreak, she wont die, whats the big deal?
Claire took a deep breath and reached over to take it back.
Since you want to give it back, then Ill take it! But dont regret it!
She tried to act cool, like she didnt care but she lost strength as she reached over for it. It was right in front of her, but it felt like it was miles away.
Perhaps she subconsciously didnt want to admit defeat. Once she took it back, then it was over, and she didnt want that kind of ending and she didnt believe Lin Xiao would be so heartless!
Lin Xiao was so gentle and considerate to both Elena and ShenDai Ying, so why couldnt he share so of that with her?
Damn it!
Claire clenched her jaw, closed her eyes then tried to grab it.
She thought she would feel the cool dal, but she noticed she grabbed onto sothing warm.
Hm?
Claire stopped and slowly opened her eyes and saw that she grabbed onto Lin Xiaos hand!
