Chapter 1529 - 1533: I Only Have Eyes for You

"I also heard it; you resent me, you don’t want to see me." He sat closer to her, tightly holding her hand without letting go, "Qian Qian, do you really have to be so heartless? Do you really not trust me at all?"

Xia Qingqian pulled her hand away, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I can’t trust you."

"I’ll give you anything you want!" He looked at her indifferent face, feeling a bit anxious; this kind of Xia Qingqian made him both anxious and scared.

Anything she could think of, he could fulfill for her; he was just afraid that she would want nothing at all.

"Young Master Yao, I’m doing quite well right now, I lack nothing. Besides, what I want, you probably can’t give." She smiled weakly, looking at him, her heart a little unsure.

This isn’t her fault, yet she fears him; it’s truly disappointing.

"In this world, there’s nothing I can’t give. What do you want?" Beitang Yao thought perhaps this was his chance to make amends upon hearing she needs something.

Xia Qingqian stared at him blankly, seeing the hint of a smile he hid so well on his face, feeling somewhat reluctant to say harsh words to provoke him, she shook her head and said, "I don’t have anything I want, I was just speaking off the cuff."

Beitang Yao insisted, "Qian Qian, are you still blaming me? Haven’t I been good enough to you?"

"That’s not it! Young Master Yao! Don’t misunderstand, you’ve been really good to me, you’ve given me so many things and such a great surprise, I really appreciate it. No one has ever treated me this well before; you were the first." Also the one who hurt her the most deeply.

"If I’m really that good to you, why did you reject me?" He squinted his eyes, looking at her intently.

Xia Qingqian felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, her ears reddened, "Young Master Yao, there are so many good women, why do you just fancy me? Back then, if it wasn’t for you, I would have been marked by someone else just the same."

"Damn it, I just fancied you, there’s nothing to explain!" He seemed a bit displeased with her attempts to change the topic, "Qian Qian, what exactly do you want? What I gave you, isn’t it enough to move you?"

"What you gave me is truly enough to move a woman’s heart!" She looked at him earnestly and said, "But not every woman values these things. I would never think that staying by your side elevates my worth, I am self-aware. Besides, it’s just a transaction between us, isn’t it?"

"Then why can’t it move your heart? Or are you saying that I have to dig out my heart for you to see before you’ll believe everything I say?" Beitang Yao gently pulled Xia Qingqian into his arms, sighed, and rested his chin on her shoulder, "You just can’t forgive me for what I’ve done to you, you just want to torture me like this? Is being my wife really so unbearable for you?"

Xia Qingqian was so intimidated by his words that she choked a little, unable to say anything for a moment, feeling the grip of his embrace constantly tightening.

"Young Master Yao, your hug is hurting me."

Beitang Yao raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a while, then released her, laughing somewhat helplessly, "Is this the reaction you have?"

"Then what kind of reaction do you want me to have?" Being held so tightly, of course, it hurts.

"Can’t you talk to me about something else?" Beitang Yao never knew he would spend time like this, humbling himself to coax a woman like this.
