Under Song Xiwei's puzzled gaze, Aoqian smiled and said to him, "My feelings for you will not change. I like you, and from now on, it will only increase. You don't need to respond to me, nor do you need to feel any burden. This is my own business, and no one needs to be responsible for me. I can take care of myself."
Song Xiwei's heart clenched again.
Why bother?
There are plenty of fish in the sea...
She truly didn't know what she had done to make Ao Qian fall so deeply into this trap.
Even when asked to visit other people, he refused.
Why be so persistent for someone who won't respond to you?
She originally thought that Aoqian was mistaken about liking her.
Ke Aoqian is explaining things so clearly and earnestly over and over again, how could he have made a mistake?
It's clearly love that's clouded their judgment.
She is the one who turned Aoqian into this.
The thought that Aoqian had actually made such a big concession and was no longer pressing her for a result made her feel quite uneasy.
Because she couldn't respond to Aoqian, Song Xiwei is now deeply indebted.
Ao Qian watched the changes in Song Xiwei's eyes and saw that the wariness in Song Xiwei's eyes was not as strong as before.
While Song Xiwei was still in a daze, Ao Qian had already approached her step by step.
Before Song Xiwei and the others realized what was happening, Ao Qian had already lifted their chins. This kiss was not a bite, nor was it a seduction; it was just a light peck, yet it showed Ao Qian's cherishing and care.
Song Xiwei blushed so deeply she felt like she was about to bleed, and subconsciously reached out to push Aoqian away, but Aoqian took a few steps back first.
"I like you. Seeing the look of guilt on your face when I see you makes me want to comfort you. It's okay, really. I've been in this unequal relationship for two years, and I've made it through. I can do it again in the future. It's just that this feeling of liking you will probably grow stronger with each passing day..."
Aoqian did not hide his love for Song Xiwei. On the contrary, now that he had spoken his mind, he no longer had any worries and could express his feelings to Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei was speechless, her mind still reeling.
It seems like Aoqian has regressed, but something still feels off.
He said she was still his subordinate, but he didn't treat her as one.
He still likes her unilaterally, even though he doesn't need her to reciprocate. But what was he doing just now?
To offend her so rashly without her permission...
Song Xiwei felt that after talking to Aoqian for so long, it seemed like it was all for nothing.
He remained obstinate and did whatever he pleased.
"I take back what I owe you! What do you mean I owe you? Since you don't treat me like a subordinate, I don't need to respect you either!" Song Xiwei was furious and spoke without giving Aoqian any face.
"Whatever makes you happy. I don't need you to respect me like everyone else does. After all, you and I are different from others." Ao Qian's burning gaze was fixed on Song Xiwei, making her want to run away on the spot.
"Stop staring at me like that. You're supposed to be a Demon Lord, can't you be a little more valuable?"
Upon hearing Song Xiwei's words, Ao Qian chuckled, "If I were more valuable, would you love me?"
Song Xi rolled her eyes at him. "What are you dreaming of?"
“Since you still won’t love me even if I’m valuable, if I keep putting on airs and don’t try to be nice to you, won’t I never have a chance?” Ao Qian blinked innocently.
Song Xiwei remained silent.
What kind of thought process is this?!
"So, in order to win over someone you like, simply putting on airs is absolutely not enough. You have to cater to their preferences and prioritize them," Aoqian said, speaking eloquently about his thoughts.
Song Xiwei felt that all her efforts to persuade Aoqian, including all her talk and racking her brains, had been in vain.
