"Oh!" Li ngjie chuckled and said, "Xue Jiu, why do I get the feeling that you’re a bit angry and embarrassed? Hehe, so tell , why is it impossible for you to like him? Is it because his status is too low, not worthy of you, missy?"
"No, it’s not!" Ling Xuejiu’s mind was in a ss. She didn’t understand why she had reacted so strongly just now. To keep Xiao Jie from getting suspicious, she cald herself and said, "Xiao Jie, don’t make wild guesses. Grandpa has plenty of money, and with him supporting , I’ll never have to worry about food or clothes for the rest of my life. Whether Leng Xuan is of low status or not, what does it matter to ? Do you really think I need to depend on him?"
"Hmm~" Sothing stirred in Li ngjie’s heart, a trace of excitent bubbling up. The question she had just asked had always been a knot in her own heart. Hearing Ling Xuejiu talk like that, she actually felt relieved and giggled, "That’s true. Actually, Leng Xuan isn’t all that great, and he doesn’t treat you well either, so why would you like him?"
Ling Xuejiu paused, giving Li ngjie a strange look. Why was this girl saying these things to her? It was out of character. Didn’t she usually encourage her to be nicer to Leng Xuan, saying that he wasn’t really that bad? Why had she made such a 180-degree turn all of a sudden? Could it be that she... was worried about competing with her for Leng Xuan?
Thinking of that, Ling Xuejiu felt a pang in her heart, her lips pouting slightly as she said with a sour tone, "Xiao Jie, do you really think Leng Xuan has nothing good about him?"
"Yes!" Li ngjie blushed and said with a smile, "Aside from being able to cook and fight, and driving pretty well, I haven’t noticed any other strengths in the Cold Bodyguard. Oh, his dical skills seem pretty good too. Grandpa Ling was saved by him."
Ling Xuejiu felt so frustrated. She rolled her eyes at Li ngjie. This girl was really sothing, making her both laugh and cry. Was she trying to put Leng Xuan down? But it sounded like she was praising him—an urban man who could cook, had great fighting skills, impressive driving abilities, and even held so mysterious dical skills. Wasn’t that quite extraordinary?
She sighed softly and didn’t say anything more. Her heart was such a ss. In the past, she would always look for an opportunity to argue with Leng Xuan. She had never understood why, until after Leng Xuan said, "Protecting you is my duty, there’s no need for thanks." Then she suddenly realized that Leng Xuan had always regarded her rely as the young mistress. In Leng Xuan’s heart, it wasn’t necessary to pay attention to her tantrums, because his duty was to protect her, not to keep her amused.
And then there was the incident with Xiao Yun, when Leng Xuan had lost his temper at her. He had ntioned that he had lost interest in the bodyguard profession, but then Grandpa Ling had called him, and he had reconsidered. That ant Leng Xuan stayed by her side purely because of Grandpa Ling, not because of her.
Reflecting on this, Ling Xuejiu truly regretted not understanding Leng Xuan, only knowing how to lose her temper with him, pushing him to maintain a respectful distance and creating an invisible barrier. Instead of reflecting on the reasons, she blad him for his detachnt...
