Chapter 1408: He Only Wanted Her to be Happy II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A smile hung on the corners of Jiu Ming's mouth.

He recalled his first encounter with her a few years ago…

The girl was still as fat as a giant mountain, yet somehow she had managed to capture his heart so easily.

“You will never understand…” He paused and smiled warmly. “To me, I'm willing to give everything only to protect her and see her smile. If the price for me to get her is that she loses all her laughter, then that kind of life for her… It's not what I want.”

He liked Feng Ruqing the way she was.

Her gestures and smiles…

Her joys and sorrows…

If the cost of getting her was so terrible that it would make her hold a grudge against him, what was the point of having her like that?

“Maybe you've never liked a girl, and you'll never understand what I'm doing.”

She liked Nan Xian. So, he would let him go.

He did not want to make himself… A burden to her.

Now that he thought about it, Qing'er misunderstanding him and Nan Xian had a great benefit to him as well.

At least… She would not resent his presence.

They could always get along like this.

“What are you babbling about?” Hu Qing was furious, and his face was livid. “Who says I haven't liked girls? My future wife, Yuan Yuan, is my next-door neighbor. Qian Qian, my youngest girl. Zhu Zhu… Oh yes, the most popular courtesan from Welcome Spring Courtyard, Xiao Xinxin. All of them are my favorite girls. How dare you say I don't understand!”

Jiu Ming was speechless.

“If it weren't for the Ninth Emperor, would these girls have run away from me? The courtesan I liked back then would only dance for the Ninth Emperor. Hehe… She's a girl, but why was she visiting a brothel? She was even one step ahead of me in saving Xinxin! If it wasn't for her, Xinxin would have fallen in love with me!”

Jiu Ming was stunned.
