Chapter 895: 895、I got my engagement today (2/2)

I once hated the idea of sacrificing my happiness for businesses to the extent that I rather we suffered bankruptcy since—I mean, how ridiculous it is for a business to rely on the daughter’s courtship?

And now look where you are, Qiu Jin.

All because of this man.

Xiang Jinxi.

Only if I chose to accept my family’s tradition, find a man to get married, I’ll get a bit of authority in the house. And with such authority, only I could assist this man. Only I could save him, the man whose name rang like a distress signal in my world…

“Xiang Jinxi.” The tail of her gown smoothly skimmed over the exquisite Persian carpet as she strolled through the spacious room filled with all the luxuries a woman could once imagine having yet her eyes never landed upon. She lifted her head as her eyes ever fixed upon the very man. Her heart ached seeing Xiang Jinxi’s expressionless look of as her words uttered through her hoarse voice, “I’ll have the wedding two months after the engagement. Aren’t you going to say something about this? Something specifically to me?”

The question made the man stare into her eyes. There was a hint of emotion which soon faded away, “Well, did you regret this?”

In disbelief Qiu Jin looked at him, tears welled up in her eyes. It was a ridiculous question that was more devastating than a remorseful call, that it took her awhile to recover and reply a calm “no” while shaking her head.

That’s all you want to say? Are you talking about regrets?

Do I have any other option here?

Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of me sending my men to rescue this man all the way back to America back then? Why did I do something so foolish that I had to kneel before Father for a whole day and night just to redeem myself?

So if you want to talk about regrets, maybe it’s the regret of knowing you. It’s the regret of me being so foolish. There’s no turning back now.

I don’t expect anything from you. Well, even if you do have something to give in return…I don’t think it’ll be anything about love.

From the very beginning, I am a mere pawn in his eyes.

No love, no pride, only benefits in his eyes.

He uses me shamelessly for everything he can and I indiscriminately provide my service.

But what can I do?

I love him. I really love him.
