Capítulo 1382: Chapter 1378: Secrets 3
So things suddenly took root in her heart with a decision, and she didn’t know why, but after figuring it out, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency, an urgency to share everything about herself.
She was naturally alert and instinctively guarded herself. But he was different; he was the one she most wanted to trust and be intimate with.
Qiao Xiaren briefly tidied herself up, grabbed her bag, and went out.
“Is this for ?”
Qiao Xiaren accepted the roses he handed her and smiled, “Honestly, this is only the third ti I’ve received roses.”
“Weren’t there many people eager to give them to you before?”
From his words, Qiao Xiaren detected a hint of jealousy, and she reached out to hold his palm, “I used to not believe in myself, felt insignificant, deliberately hid myself, and was even self-deprecating and cold, so there weren’t many people around .”
Thinking of the past seed like a different lifeti.
The pains and wounds of those years were like fleeting shadows.
“You must have made people feel heartbroken back then.” Si Limo looked at her, his expression focused. Just hearing her say this already made him feel distressed for her.
“Actually, I’ve always had a question.” Qiao Xiaren suddenly looked at him and spoke, “If I were a ssy, self-pitying person without a shred of confidence—I’m not the top socialite, nor the eldest daughter of the Qiao Family. I’m not beautiful, and I’m hiding in my shell; would you still love ?”
Si Limo suddenly felt as if sothing had filled his chest, a warm yet bittersweet feeling erged in his heart. He reached out to clasp her hand, tightly enclosing it in his.
“From the first mont I saw you, I felt you would be mine. I might not have told you, but I used to think all won looked the sa, and I couldn’t tell the difference between beautiful and not beautiful. But your image slowly and distinctly surfaced in my mind, and now I feel like I can’t shake it off.”
For soone like him, falling in love with soone ant a lifeti.
“To be blunt, what kind of woman couldn’t I get if I wanted? Almost everything around could be mine if I wanted. I don’t lack beautiful won, nor do I lack money or fa and status. Even if you’re just a nobody, if I fall in love with you, you’re my Princess.”
He reached out and firmly held her in his arms.
It all perhaps began the first ti he saw Qiao Xiaren. At that ti, he couldn’t pinpoint why, but her slender figure exuded incredible resilience and determination.
Back then, on the sa mountain, such a frail person even saved his sister, which made him pay extra attention to her. He had never seen such a woman before, whose temperant and age seed completely incongruent, exuding a sense of the lancholic wisdom of soone who had seen through life’s impermanence.
This shocked him.
Ordinary 17-year-old girls are often still at ho causing a ruckus with their parents about what they want. Even in a village, she’s a treasured child her parents would give anything for to ensure she eats and dresses well.
But not her; alone, apart from having a master to rely on, even her senior brothers and sisters were like wolves and tigers around her. He had seen too many won, yet there was an inexplicable pull that made him subconsciously pay attention to her.
He wondered, how many grievances, how much suffering had she endured in her heart? To have such a lancholy, such unfeeling, detached eyes.
This ti, the one who was shocked was Qiao Xiaren. Although he left the latter words unspoken, they were largely self-evident. Her throat suddenly felt a little swollen and dry. Everything hidden in her heart was no longer a heavy burden but beca a little secret she was eager to share with him.
