Xiaoyu pursed her lips and refused to answer.
Seeing her reaction, Yun Shaoye knew that further questioning would yield no results and might even hurt her self-esteem, so he tried to comfort her, “Don’t take their words to heart.”
If possible, she didn’t want to either!
Yet, their words kept spinning in her mind.
Thinking about Yun Shaoye’s kindness to her, which was just to repay a favor, Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
“Look at me!” Yun Shaoye cupped her face, forcing her to look directly at him, “You were hired by me and only need to be responsible to me. Don’t mind what anyone else says.”
The close-range gaze made Xiaoyu’s heart skip a beat.
Looking at Yun Shaoye, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you arrange for me to join Yun Corporation?”
Seeing her low spirits, he deliberately teased her, “Didn’t I say it was to support you?”
Normally, Xiaoyu would have retorted, but hearing his response now, she felt even more discouraged because his words seemed to confirm what her two brothers had said.
Yun Shaoye noticed her reaction.
“What’s wrong?” He wondered what her brothers could have said to make her so preoccupied.
“I never asked you to repay me,” she blurted out unexpectedly.
Yun Shaoye was confused, “Repay what?”
Xiaoyu bit her lower lip, “You don’t need to help me arrange work to repay a favor.” If she had known it was like this, she would never have agreed in the first place.
Repay a favor? Yun Shaoye hadn’t expected such an absurd explanation.
From beginning to end, everything he did was out of genuine care, never thinking about favors.
Because he didn’t want to see her living unstably or in danger, he insisted on keeping her by his side. The starting point of all this was concern, concern for her!
“Who told you I was doing this to repay a favor?”
“Isn’t it?”
Seeing that she actually thought this, Yun Shaoye wanted to wake her up, “If it were to repay a favor, I think I’ve already done more than enough during the time I let you stay.”
Xiaoyu was suddenly embarrassed, feeling awkward about her previous arbitrary treatment of him.
“Do you still think I’m doing this to repay a favor?” he asked deliberately.
