Chapter 1392: 1392 Unwilling to give up Chapter 1392: 1392 Unwilling to give up Shen Yun saw her son’s cold attitude and said with a heartache, “It’s also my fault for not acknowledging him all these years for the sake of Chuan’er’s life.
Chuan’er, you must believe that your mother’s heart aches more than anyone else’s.”
She looked at Su Qingyue, “Yue’er, I can endure anything to ensure Chuan’er’s life is not in danger.
But I truly had no other choice, please persuade Chuan’er not to hold on to this any longer.”
“Third brother is a man of his own mind,” Su Qingyue said indifferently, “Lady Xiao’s difficulties will be understood by third brother.”
Shen Yun gave a bitter smile and, with the support of a servant girl, returned to Yi Garden.
…
In one of the side rooms of Elegant Garden, Xiao Yishan lay in bed, while Tao ijiao stood at the doorway, hesitating to knock.
While she hesitated, Xiao Yishan’s voice ca from inside, “Who’s there?”
“It’s…
it’s ,” Tao ijiao simply accepted.
“Miss Tao, co in!” Xiao Yishan’s voice was clearly excited.
Despite his injured hand and leg, he hobbled over to open the door.
Seeing him drag himself off the bed with his injuries, Tao ijiao’s heart softened, “Second Brother Xiao, you should just stay in bed; the door isn’t latched, I can push it open myself.
Why are you getting out of bed?”
“I…
I was afraid you might leave again.” His deep voice carried the earnestness of a country man, and his resolute face showed a touch of unease.
Tao ijiao suddenly felt moved.
She had chased after Xiao Qinghe for over a year, constantly facing his indifference, yet Xiao Yishan cared so much for her, “Second Brother Xiao, you need not do this.”
She carried a tray in her hands, on which was a porcelain bowl of chicken soup, “I had the kitchen prepare this soup just for you.”
“Thank…
ƝοѵǤᴑ.ƈο
thank you,” he looked at her eagerly.
She asked with a smile, “Why don’t you let in?”
“Oh…
oh…
co in quickly…” His tall, solid fra hurriedly moved aside.
Seeing his determined face flush with an unusual redness, she hadn’t expected such a big fellow to also have such an endearing side.
She smiled, picked up the tray, entered the room, placed the tray on the table, and lifted the lid of the porcelain bowl, “Drink this while it’s hot.”
“Alright, alright,” he nodded his large head eagerly.
Watching him sit at the table, drinking the chicken soup uneasily, and occasionally stealing glances at her, Tao ijiao felt sowhat sentintal.
Xiao Yishan was actually a good man.
It was just unfortunate that he was the second brother of the man she loved.
Even though they had already been intimate, she couldn’t bring herself to marry Qinghe’s second brother, “Second Brother Xiao, my feelings for you are only those of friendship, I hope you…
don’t think too much of it.”
His spoon-holding hand stiffened, and a flash of sadness crossed his eyes, “I understand.
Miss Tao, you are kind, and even if it weren’t , you would visit just any friend.”
“Good to know you understand, second Brother Xiao.”
The atmosphere in the room turned sowhat awkward.
Xiao Yishan drank his chicken soup extrely slowly, sneaking affectionate glances at her, hoping that by drinking slowly, she would stay a mont longer.
Tao ijiao, being a clever person, saw his intention, so she stood up, “Second Brother Xiao, I’ll go back to my room now.”
He grabbed her hand, “ijiao…”
She stiffened, his broad palm enveloping her small hand felt so secure, “Second Brother Xiao, let go.”
“I won’t let go!” he suddenly beca assertive.
“Second Brother Xiao…
you…” she grew anxious.
He stood up, and his sturdy arms suddenly enveloped her figure in an embrace, “ijiao, you are already mine, I like you, I really like you!”
