Chapter 1513 - 1517: Letting You Down Every Time

"That’s to be worn for the one you love." Beitang Huan looked deeply at Xia Qingqian, speaking softly.

Xia Qingqian’s breath hitched, and the corners of her mouth stiffened slightly, "What does this mean?"

Beitang Huan sat down beside Xia Qingqian, patted her hand, and smiled, "It means that only when two people are in love with each other can He Xun work its magic, understand?"

"Are you joking with me?" Xia Qingqian’s entire body went rigid.

"Who’s joking with you? If you want to take it off, there is one way, and that’s to chop off your hand." Beitang Huan rolled her eyes at Xia Qingqian, "Silly, only someone as foolish as you would be totally taken by Brother Yao. Even when he treats you cruelly. All it takes is a sweet word from him or a precious gift, and you soften up."

"Huan, I admit I have feelings for him. No matter how cruel he is to me, I can’t resent him. He helped me in my toughest times. And he had saved me from the fire time after time, giving me so many things I wouldn’t dare dream of having in this life." As Xia Qingqian said this, a gentle gratitude showed in her eyes, and her hand involuntarily caressed the He Xun on her wrist.

Beitang Huan was helpless, silent for a long time before saying with heartache, "Qian Qian, you’re really too foolish."

"Huan, I’m sorry for disappointing you every time." Xia Qingqian’s eyes immediately filled with a hint of apology. Ever since she became sisters who shared everything with Beitang Huan, Beitang Huan has always protected her.

"Qian Qian, you haven’t let me down, I just think you’re so foolishly innocent. Meeting Brother Yao, I don’t know if it’s your misfortune or tragedy." Beitang Huan said lightly, as this was Xia Qingqian’s choice and she could not interfere.

"Weren’t you going to see Grandpa?" Xia Qingqian remembered something and started to push the sitting Beitang Huan, "Could you also take the completed pillow to him?"

Beitang Huan noticed the rosy blush on Xia Qingqian’s face as she said this and chuckled, "I’m really quite impressed with you!"

Xia Qingqian pressed her lips together in silence, her head buried low against her chest. Only after Beitang Huan left did she lie on the bed, bringing her hand up to her chest. Staring at the bracelet, she was lost in thought, murmuring in her heart, "If I were to try again with you, would you still treat me the same? My heart is fragile, and after being hurt so many times, I might just break. But I want to give myself one last chance; I want to stay by your side and take good care of you."

If Beitang Huan knew what she was thinking, she would surely say she’s hard-headed and beyond saving.

Xia Qingqian woke up groggily, still being called awake by Xiao Fen.

Last night she had thought about many things, and as she thought, time passed until she was almost asleep, and the sky outside began turning gray and white.

Xiao Fen helped her sit up, excitement tinging her voice, "Sister Xia, Young Master Yao is here, he’s downstairs."

Xia Qingqian suddenly opened her sleepy eyes, staring dazedly at Xiao Fen, swallowing her parched throat, "Young Master Yao is here?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fen nodded vigorously, "The Young Master has been here for over an hour, and seeing you slept so soundly, he didn’t disturb you."

"He... He’s here?" Xia Qingqian quickly got out of bed, hurriedly dressing herself, "Why didn’t you wake me up?"
