327 Princess Ziyan Ii (1/2)
But she did not expect Qing Yuan to refuse her!
Ziyan firmly bit her lip. After a moment, she raised her head. There was a dreary smile on her elegant face.
”Qing Yuan, I understand. My father and my brother were wrong in this matter. They've had it coming. As much as I couldn't leave them behind, how could I trouble you?” She left the young man's embrace as she gave a bitter smile. ”Don't worry, I'll think of something on my own.”
Qing Yuan felt a slight pain in his heart. He was filled with guilt.
If… if only Fengyun Manor were his. He would do anything for the girl he loved.
However…
Sometime in the future, the lady of the manor and her daughter would surely return to Fengyun Manor.
He could not drag Fengyun Manor down with him, let alone ruin the lady's years of hard work in an instant!
The Fengyun Manor could not afford to upset a powerful existence such as Young Master Nan Xian!
”Ziyan, though I cannot let Fengyun Manor fend for you, but I will still keep your safe. Even if I have to throw my life away, I would not let any harm come to you!”
As Qing Yuan gently consoled her, he had an adamant look on his face. He then tightly held Ziyan in his embrace.
The female servant in white had been standing by Ziyan's side throughout the whole thing. Her eyes were fixated on Qing Yuan. A dash of pain flickered in her eyes.
He had forgotten about her after all…
”Qing Yuan.” Ziyan did not escape from Qing Yuan's embrace. She rested her head on Qing Yuan's chest. ”I've said before, I love you. I would not put you in a difficult position. Moreover, my father and brother were in the wrong in the first place. I, Ziyan, am not an unreasonable person, but I can't just abandon them. So I will think of another way.”
Qing Yuan felt even more guilty, but he was rather impressed by Ziyan.
If she were a normal girl, she would have followed the usual three-step process of first crying, then tantrum-throwing and finally, threatening him with suicide just to force Fengyun Manor to fend for her.
