Chapter 1183 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 37
His words of comfort turned into self-reflection.
Song Jinhuan's emotions gradually calmed down, and the gentle touch on her cheek made her stare blankly at Xuanhe's face.
A mix of emotions including self-blame, regret, and heartache.
The girl blinked her almond-shaped eyes gently, full of confusion.
Are she and Xuanhe really that close?
Why would the other person feel sorry for her?
The brain begins to work.
The girl's voice was a little hoarse, still tinged with sobs, and slightly nasal as she guessed, "Does Elder Xuan have feelings for my daughter?"
The handkerchief, soaked with tears, was clutched in the man's palm.
He softened his breathing and hummed in agreement.
The dirt on the girl's face had been wiped clean, and she looked like a gem that had been covered in dust, so dazzling that Xuanhe couldn't take his eyes off her.
Xuanhe was not one to cherish women, but the girl's cheeks were fair and delicate, and he felt that if he were not careful, the thin calluses on his fingertips might scratch them.
Song Jinhuan blinked, her eyelashes glistening with moisture, and said frankly, "Knowing that Elder Xuan is fond of me, if I were to speak up, wouldn't I be taking advantage of your affections?"
She didn't believe the other person didn't understand this principle.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he denied it in a deep voice: "This is not exploitation."
Song Jinhuan's eyes widened slightly, and she asked in astonishment, "What is that?"
Xuanhe: "Opportunity."
Song Jinhuan looked blank. "What opportunity?"
Xuanhe's gaze swept over the tiny bundle, and he said earnestly, "It's an opportunity to test me, and for Miss Lin to try to open her heart to me, accept my kindness, and be willing to get close to me."
His unhurried words revealed a hidden expectation.
He paused for a moment, blocking out the noise of his racing heart, and asked with forced composure, "Miss Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"
If the girl nods, it means that Xuanhe has been given the opportunity.
Song Jinhuan lowered her eyes.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xuanhe's eyes. He twitched the corners of his lips, trying to force a smile to lighten the mood.
It's okay, at least the other person knows how he feels, right?
"Elder Xuan... Elder Xuan..."
Xuanhe forced a smile. "Hmm?"
Then he saw the girl open her palm and say to him in a soft voice, "Xuanhe, my hand hurts so much~"
It was as if the most vulnerable side had been presented to him, even though it was covered in blood.
Before Xuanhe could even feel overjoyed, the disappointment in his eyes was replaced by heartache and regret.
He deserves to die; he didn't even notice the scratches on the girl's palm!
"I...I'll take you to get your medicine applied."
He was in a hurry to leave with his men, but he didn't know how to do it.
Song Jinhuan sniffed, "I ran for a long time just now, and my legs are exhausted."
Xuanhe: "Shall I carry you?"
The girl's eyes curved into crescents as she opened her arms to him, "Then I'll trouble Elder Xuan."
Xuanhe couldn't help but smile, and said politely, "I apologize for the intrusion."
Song Jinhuan was lifted into the air and carried away.
Xuanhe's whole body was tense; the girl was much lighter than he had imagined.
"Won't it be uncomfortable to hold him like this?"
His movements were clumsy, his arms stiff, he dared not use too much force, and he was worried that he would not have enough strength in his arms to hold her securely.
Song Jinhuan noticed his nervousness and gently reassured him, "Elder Xuan, relax~"
Xuanhe gave a restrained, low hum, his heart burning with desire.
very nice.
The girl was willing to give him a chance.
The gentle reassurance was like a sweet treat to him.
At the same time, it also fostered greed in his heart.
He will make her see clearly that although the Empress Dowager and the Lin family may have some genuine feelings for her, when it comes to interests and risks, they will only make her swallow her grievances.
