It's impossible to say that she was completely unmoved.
But she couldn't accept it immediately.
Because she longs for that kind of feeling, but subconsciously feels that it will never happen to her.
Now that someone truly loves her wholeheartedly, her first reaction isn't to accept it, but to deny it and back down.
Xi Jun had been watching the woman's every move, seeing her shocked by his words, incredulous, and finally slumped down.
He couldn't care less about anything else and called out the woman's name, "Ms. Lu Ying."
Lu Ying looked up at him upon hearing the sound, only to meet a pair of ardent and sincere eyes.
"I know my feelings are inexplicable to you, even troubling, but I truly have no other intentions. I just wanted to quietly look after you. If things hadn't turned out this way, I might have continued to secretly like you..."
"I know what I just said sounded like a jerk, but I really didn't expect a response from you. It was all my own choice. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble and disturbing your family!"
With that, the man suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to her at a perfect 90-degree angle. "I apologize! I'm sorry!"
One bow wasn't enough, so the man immediately followed up with two more perfect 90-degree bows.
"I'm sorry! If you find me disgusting, I will never appear near you again!"
I'm so sorry!
As he spoke, Lu Ying could even hear the trembling of a sob in the man's slightly hoarse voice.
Putting everything else aside, just considering this feeling alone, what makes her so worthy of being loved so passionately and sincerely?
The man stood there, utterly ashamed. Even with his head down, Lu Ying could still see the man's slightly red eyes.
She never imagined that a man in his thirties would cry because of her!
Feeling conflicted, she said, "Sit down first, let's talk this out. I didn't say anything, your reaction was too strong..."
Upon hearing this, Xi Jun secretly glanced at the woman. Seeing that her expression was calm and she didn't seem too upset, he tried his best to suppress the bitterness in his heart and slowly sat back down.
By now, Lu Ying's attitude had gone from initial incomprehension to later shock.
By now, she has come to accept this feeling, which was inexplicable to her but also passionate and sincere.
So after seeing Xi Jun sit down, she said to the man, "You just said that you're disturbing my family. I can tell you the truth: I'm single, so there's no question of whether I'm disturbing them or not."
Xi Jun was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked up abruptly as if she couldn't believe it. "You're single?!"
Seeing his strong reaction, Lu Ying found it somewhat amusing and asked, "What? Is there a problem? Or do you think I not only have a family, but I'm also very happy and fulfilled?"
The man, still reeling from Lu Ying's words, blankly echoed her sentiments, "You're so gentle and radiant, I assumed you had a partner who doted on you..."
As she spoke, Xi Jun suddenly realized what she meant and quickly waved her hand, "No, what I meant was, you're so great, there must be someone who likes you even more than me!"
"Whether anyone likes you or not, you are a dazzling presence!"
After saying this, Xi Jun felt her face getting even hotter, but she didn't say anything more to argue.
Because those words were his true thoughts.
Lu Ying's heart skipped a beat at his words. Apart from Lu Chuqing, neither her father nor her two brothers had ever said that she was outstanding.
They always thought of her as their youngest daughter and spoiled her. Although they supported and encouraged her in everything she did, they never acknowledged her excellence.
Liu Fengming always said she didn't know how to dress and that her clothes were unfashionable. But when she dressed a little better and attracted malicious glances and advances, and needed a man to assert his dominance and protect her, the man was a coward. In the end, he even blamed her for being provocative.
Later, when Chuqing became pregnant, her legs and feet swelled up, and she often had leg cramps at night. She was tormented beyond recognition, and her husband said she was disgusting and ugly, lying in bed like an old sow.
At that time, she was belittled and insulted to the point of being considered inhuman, and for a long time afterward, she felt particularly worthless.
But now some people say she's exceptionally good, that she's dazzling, and that she deserves to be cherished.
If meeting the right person only requires a glance or a word, then Lu Ying is certain that she fell for Xi Yun because of just one sentence he said.
So she looked at the man without glancing at him and said, "Thank you for the compliment. However, I'm single because I'm divorced, and I'm currently raising my child alone."
Xi Jun was stunned again upon hearing this, her mind filled with thoughts of which blind man could not appreciate such a good woman.
Just as I was feeling sorry for Lu Ying, I heard her say, "I've given a brief account of my situation. I know nothing about Mr. Xi. Now it's your turn."
Xi Jun vaguely sensed that the woman's words implied something, and her heart began to feel nervous and expectant again. She then told him about her situation without any concealment.
“I’m also single, with a son who is in the second year of junior high school at No. 11 Middle School. My parents have passed away, and there aren’t any relatives. It’s just my son and me during holidays.”
"I currently work at an internet company, mainly doing data analysis for software development. My monthly salary is 11,000 yuan, with year-end bonuses and profit sharing. Sometimes I also get profit sharing for participating in projects, so my annual salary is about 300,000 yuan."
"I personally don't smoke, drink, gamble, or play cards. I can cook, do laundry, and do housework. I don't have many friends; the only one I keep in touch with is JJ Lin, who works at the same company. I don't have any other hobbies; when I have free time, I read books, go hiking, or run in the nearby park..."
