Feng Guang never intended to abandon either side; she was simply choosing the most necessary option from two choices. As she said, her parents would always be her parents, a relationship that was destined from the moment she was born. She had angered her parents now, but she still had plenty of time to make amends. However, if she chose to leave Mo Qing, they might become strangers many years later, and it would be very difficult to get back together.
His prolonged silence made her uneasy. She tugged at his sleeve again and asked cautiously, "Do you think I'm too selfish? Do you think I'm not good enough?"
After a long silence, he spoke, "Why me?"
"Why what?"
He asked in a low voice, "How many of the things you said are true?"
"Everything I said to you is true, especially those compliments, they all came from the bottom of my heart." She smiled shyly again, "And I really do think... you're very beautiful."
"You know my face isn't perfect." He lowered his gaze, looking into her brown eyes. No matter when, every time he looked into them, he felt as if there was a sea of stars in her eyes, bright and clear, like a sky without any impurities. "And who are you lying about when you said it was love at first sight?"
"I didn't lie to anyone, I really like you!" She pursed her lips, feeling wronged. If she knew he was her target before saying those ambiguous things to him, he would indeed have a right to question her motives. But the fact is that she had already fallen for him before she knew his identity.
Mo Qing slightly raised the corners of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. "I know my own limitations. I don't have the qualities to make a woman fall in love with me at first sight."
“But you are to me!” Feng Guang released his sleeve and grabbed his hand instead. “What I said is true. When I see you, I can’t take my eyes off you. I always want to get closer to you. I know that I am the daughter of the Prime Minister’s family and that I am irreconcilably opposed to Black Wind Village. But the affairs of the court are never for women to interfere in. My father would never use me to do anything. I’ve shamelessly followed you and always taken the initiative without a care in the world. Why do you think all this is? In your eyes, am I really just a woman who doesn’t respect herself and has no sense of shame?”
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke the last sentence.
Although it is said that pursuing love requires courage, if a woman takes the initiative, she will always have to show more courage than a man. If she succeeds, others will say that you are a match made in heaven. If she fails, onlookers will say something sarcastic like, "That woman is shameless."
Mo Qing noticed the tear stains at the corners of her eyes and her fingers twitched slightly, but she had already raised her hand to wipe them clean herself.
Feng Guang sniffed, turned her back, and said in a muffled voice, "One day, I will make you believe that I didn't lie to you."
After saying that, she ran out of the room.
Silence returned to the room after she left.
Mo Qing closed his eyes, raised his hand to his aching head, gently pressed his temples, and finally sighed deeply. He never thought he would pick up such a big trouble.
