With just one glance, she had to lower her head again.
Upon seeing this, Ji Zichen swiftly reached out and hooked her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"say."
He said in a low voice, "I told you, you should be brave enough to express yourself."
Daylily: ...
Looking at his angular face, his cheeks were slightly flushed.
She pursed her lips and murmured, "They... don't seem to like me."
When Ji Zichen heard her speak, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly. "That's it? Is there anything else?"
Xuancao glanced at him timidly, biting her lip and said, "They... seem to not want you to marry me."
Ji Zichen's lips curved into an even wider smile.
He knew it; his fiancée was very smart!
In fact, he was resistant when he learned that his parents had arranged a marriage for him in the countryside. However, his fiancée was his parents' savior, and he...
Out of gratitude, he reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
But heaven knows how panicked he was when he opened his eyes after being seriously injured and in a coma for months, and saw a little girl beside him crying and wiping his body!
He never panicked despite being surrounded by powerful enemies.
He remained calm even when facing a hail of bullets.
But faced with his fiancée, who was weak, helpless, timid, and sensitive, he...
They were in complete panic!
He was completely powerless against her tears!
I both love and hate her inferiority complex and timidity!
He was almost instantly routed!
A crushing defeat!
Ji Zichen: ...
Taking a deep breath and trying to soften her voice, she said, "Since you've seen through their intentions, why don't you say it to their faces?"
Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."
His eyes flickered slightly.
"It will affect you."
She pursed her lips and mumbled, "Nurse Hao's father is your boss, which will affect your future."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zichen exclaimed, "!!!"
His heart skipped a beat, and the hand supporting her chin tightened involuntarily.
"My future is not important!"
He looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Xuancao, have you forgotten that I told you not to wrong yourself for anyone?"
Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."
She looked at him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, "Even... was that person you?"
Ji Zichen nodded, "Yes! Even if that person is me!"
Xuancao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "But my mom says that women should prioritize men."
Ji Zichen: ...
As they spent more time together, he realized how difficult it was to correct the beliefs she had developed since childhood.
He dared to argue with her, but he would only silence her in a second, so...
He glanced at her small frame, wiped his face, and followed her words, saying, "Yes, your mother is right, but you misunderstood."
"I prioritize men because men are heavy enough. You should eat well, eat more, and try to be heavier than me. That means I prioritize you."
Xuancao blinked blankly, "So we have to live at the mercy of men?"
"You only read men's expressions because they're good-looking. Between us... you're better looking than me, so it's definitely me who has to read your expressions!"
Upon hearing this, Xuancao's face instantly turned bright red.
"You're talking nonsense. My mother said I'm the ugliest little slut in the whole village."
Ji Zichen gritted his teeth, "Your mother is definitely not as good-looking as you. She said that purely out of jealousy!"
Daylily: "..."
She stared at him blankly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, revealing two small dimples.
She didn't know whether she was good-looking or not.
But.
She thought Ji Zichen was the most handsome person in the world.
