After having breakfast, Song Xiwei rubbed her belly and groaned softly.
Aoqian didn't move, standing aside watching her with a half-smile.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, young master," she said awkwardly.
Aoqian shook his head, his smile undiminished. "You're quite an easily satisfied person."
"Contentment brings happiness, and besides, breakfast made by Young Master himself is priceless." Song Xiwei had no idea how many times Aoqian had made it before the finished product was served to her.
She could sense Aoqian's care for her and that he was genuinely trying to please her in his own way.
She stood up, pulled Aoqian to sit in a chair, and said earnestly to him, "Even if Young Master doesn't cater to my preferences, I will still remain loyal to him."
Upon hearing Song Xiwei's words, Aoqian's smile vanished instantly.
Ao Qian's expression changed drastically, and Song Xiwei hurriedly asked nervously, "Did I say something wrong?"
"I cater to your preferences because I want to be good to you, simply because you deserve my kindness. It has nothing to do with whether I want your loyalty to me," Ao Qian said in a muffled tone.
Song Xiwei was puzzled; there was no contradiction between the two.
Moreover, why is he still unhappy when I pledge my loyalty to him?
It's said that a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the bottom of the sea, and Aoqian's thoughts are no exception.
"I misspoke, so please don't be angry anymore, okay? I'm really happy and content that Shaojun is so good to me..." Song Xiwei wasn't flattering him; she was telling the truth.
Isn't her goal to make Aoqian more relatable and humane?
Moreover, the current Aoqian is gradually moving closer to what I hope for.
Seeing Song Xiwei gently coaxing him, her eyes fixed on him, Aoqian's slight gloom had long since vanished.
In Aoqian's eyes, Song Xiwei had always been extremely beautiful.
The slightly dazed Song Xiwei in front of him was even more vivid, and her soft, sweet accent made Aoqian even more fond of her.
However, he did not fully express these emotions, nor did he want Song Xiwei to discover his thoughts.
In fact, he did not tell Song Xiwei the truth.
His kindness towards Song Xiwei couldn't possibly be without ulterior motives.
He knew that Song Xiwei liked him to be more down-to-earth, and he also knew that Song Xiwei wanted to see him present a harmless and kind image to her.
But he wanted to deepen Song Xiwei's affection for him.
It takes time and effort to accumulate knowledge and skills until, in the future, when Song Xiwei faces a choice between two options, she will choose her own option without hesitation.
He wanted to be the most special person in Song Xiwei's heart.
Just like Song Xiwei, a special existence to him.
"Young Master, your hand..." Song Xiwei hadn't noticed until she got closer to Aoqian and saw that there were several blisters on the back of his hand.
There were also some scars on his other hand.
When Aoqian saw her asking, he quickly put his hands behind his back and said, "It's alright."
“I’m not actually greedy, and I’m fasting, so I don’t need to eat and I don’t feel hungry. Why do you have to do all this for me… Even if you want to be good to me, you don’t have to do things that will hurt yourself. Even if you’re in a good mood one day, we can make an appointment to enjoy the moon together, that’s quite simple.” Song Xiwei’s tone revealed a heartache that she herself didn’t realize.
Aoqian was stunned, unsure whether Song Xiwei disliked him.
He also disliked himself, for hurting his hand while doing such a small thing.
The thought of being looked down upon by Song Xiwei made Aoqian feel ashamed and he was a little angry with himself.
