I was very clear that my initial emotions were merely derived from that similar face.
“If you are unwilling, Uncle Qin will not force you. It’s just that Feng Yin mentioned that Zi Han’s attitude towards you seems to have changed.
You also know that these past three years, he has kept himself locked in a dark corner, stubbornly refusing to let anyone approach. It’s been hard to find someone who can help him come out of his past,
“Uncle Qin, I understand…” Looking at the expectation in his eyes, I couldn’t bear to refuse, “Let me think about it… okay?”
“Xin, Uncle Qin is not intentionally making things difficult for you, it’s just…”
I gripped his hand, cutting off what he was about to say, and seriously said: “Uncle Qin, don’t say anymore. Xin Ran understands everything. I promise I will carefully consider it!”
Uncle Qin finally revealed a relieved smile, patting my hand and saying repeatedly: “Good, good! Why don’t I send you to Jade Water Manor, let you spend some time with Zi Han before making a decision?”
“Mm!” I gently nodded, at this moment I knew I could hardly say no.
“Uncle Qin, since Miss Xin has brought me here, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave!” Mei Ying spoke at the right time.
Uncle Qin released me, walked to Mei Ying and patted his shoulder: “Thank you this time! After finishing your business, remember to come see Uncle Qin. Don’t forget, we still have an unfinished chess game!”
“I know, I will come back. Farewell!” He slightly nodded and turned around!
“Mei Ying—” I blankly called out to him, “You, you’re not staying a bit longer?
During this half month of being constantly together, I had grown accustomed to his presence. Even without speaking, I could inexplicably feel at ease. Although I knew he wouldn’t stay too long, I hadn’t expected him to say goodbye so quickly, too fast for me to even react.
“Mei Ying has urgent matters and cannot stay. Miss Xin, take care of yourself!” He remained with his back to me, not turning around.
“Then, be careful!”
“Mm!” His response was very light, very soft! After speaking, he took steps and left.
