Chapter 1058 (1/2)

He thought that she would be infuriated because of this and on top of that, he also thought that she would treat him indifferently.

However, none of his expectations were like what was happening now.

She seemed to have accepted everything calmly without any complaints.

His apology was of no use at all.

His explanation was redundant as he did not even get the chance to speak up.

It was all due to the fact that she was smiling as if nothing had happened.

The abrupt feeling of being obstructed from her heart was far more agonizing than her being indifferent toward him.

She probably had noticed his presence on the side. After all, those people were chatting and giggling while he stood there like a stickman, appearing rather eye-catching.

She glanced in his direction and thought for a while before saying, “Don’t you need to accompany Ms. Xiao? You can actually bring her along when you pay me a visit next time.”

At that moment, he thought that he had misheard it.

However, her voice was so clear.

It was so clear to the extent that his ears hurt a bit.

Does she ask me to bring along another woman?

In other words, does it mean that she won’t care who I will be with anymore?

Perhaps his expression was beyond her expectation, thus she continued to explain, “You don’t have to worry about it. I won’t break the relations.h.i.+p between you two. What I meant is, you don’t have to force yourself to come here alone, you can bring her along too. I might have behaved a little bit mean before, but believe me, I will not impede you two anymore.”

He believed her and due to his trust for her, he was instantly numb toward the surroundings by her words.

In fact, Lan Ya had predicted that he would come here.

After all, it was him, who helped her during the evocation.

She thought that was good enough.

She also heard from her brother that her father intended to keep a distance from the Chen family.

She then understood the reason why he was here.

Firstly, it was because he was still slightly concerned about her.

Secondly, he was here because of guilt.

As for the third reason, she was thinking the same as him. No matter what happened to both of them, they should not affect the relations.h.i.+p between the two families.

However, he kept silent since he arrived as though he was being forced by someone to come here. Hence, she did not know how to deal with it.

At this moment, she could not tell to what extent he would believe in her.

However, it was rea.s.suring to know that so far he did not a.s.sume that everything was planned ahead by her.

In order to make him believe in her, she tilted her head to look at someone who was still feeding her soup. She pulled him over and uttered, “I’ll probably mingle with this guy more often in the future so I will not have time to annoy you anymore. You can get along well with Ms. Xiao, and probably we can have a meal together in the future when the opportunity comes. So now you don’t have to worry that I might embarra.s.s her again when I see her. Both Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are aging, you should take her home, uh, seems like I’ve talked too much.”

“Now you know?” Someone rolled his eyes and put the soup bowl aside.

She knew she should not involve someone in this, but she did not know how to make him trust her if she did not do so.

To be honest, she could not avoid meeting him in the future.

He always said nothing, and this had caused her to subconsciously think of their past.

That was too tiring.

Moreover, his actions gave her a false illusion as though he still cared about her.
