Chapter 412 - your subordinate (1/2)
While the situation inside Uncle Zhi's shop took place, outside in the back, Jiangyu and Ju Suo stood at the far end facing one another.
”I'm sorry…”
Ju Suo's child like voice quietly spoke with a sad expression. Her head hung low and she stares down at her feet. She could not bare to look at Jiangyu.
She had finally met the man of her dreams and everything was going fine. She did plan to tell him, but she wanted to wait until the finalized their relationship. Yet, something like this had to happen.
Does this mean she cannot like him anymore?
Jiangyu stares down at the petite woman who is not even half his size. His eyes blinks a few times with a confused expression.
He has never been in a relationship and no women ever approached him. In the past, if he were to even talk to a girl, they would run away in fear.
That being said, he's never been a situation like this.
However, hearing her sudden apology, he was even more confused.
Why does Ju Suo look so sad? Did he do something wrong?
The space between his brows crease into three tight lines and he decides to ask her.
”Why are you apologizing?”
”…”
Ju Suo lift her head and looks at him. Now it was her turn to blink her eyes in confusion. Isn't he mad that she is part of the underworld? Isn't this why he brought her out here, because he wanted to confirm?
She lifts her hand and scratch her cheek with her index finger as she looks away from him.
”It's because I didn't tell you that I'm a member of Fate.”
She takes a deep breath and her words continue.
”I'm sorry for approaching you when you don't like people who has something to do with the underworld.”
Hearing her explanation, Jiangyu was at a loss for all words. Thinking about what happened inside and her words, he finally put the pieces together.
His left-hand raise, and he stroke the back of his neck.
”I… I don't mind that you are a part of Fate or if you are involved with the underworld.”
Ju Suo did not have the courage to look at the man in the eyes again. She was waiting to hear him say he cannot be involved with her. However, she did not expect to hear his next words.
”I… like you for who you are.”
The nervous feeling inside her quickly disperse into thin air and she looks at him with her big round eyes. Before she knew it, her eyes were already glistening with moist.
Met with her tearful eyes, Jiangyu was flabbergasted. Is he so scary that his words alone were enough to make her cry? Should he have not said what he said?
Lowering his hand in awkwardness, he press his lips tightly together then decides to apologize.
”I'm sorry, what—”
”Ah! I'm so happy!”
Before Jiangyu could finish his words, Ju Suo exclaimed in joy and jumps onto the man.
Her tiny arms wrap around his waist and she beamed in happiness. Tilting her head back, she looks up at the man and smile with her teeth.
”I like you too, Jiangyu.”
”…”
Jiangyu was taken back by surprise at her response to his sudden confession. He looks down at her and his cheeks flush red.
She looked like a cute little child. He wanted to pick her up and squeeze her tightly but could only hold himself back.
