90 Do you want to be free? (2/2)

” I think that the people who forced you into this situation are truly despicable. You deserve so much more respect compared to them.”

Xin Li's fingers trembled on hearing such words. Xia Lian's each word struck like a hammer on her heart. She never expected that someone would say these words to her, and on the top of it it's a woman.

” I am asking you again. Do you want to free yourself from here? I would let you go if you want to be on your own. If you have no place to go, then you can work for me and I will always treat you with respect.” Xia Lain spoke seriously.

Xia Lian's words not only surprised the girl, even the two siblings opposite her remained quiet as they tried to decipher this situation.

” Why are you helping me?” Xin Li asked the question which is troubling her the most.

” A Phoenix is born to soar high in the sky, it's not to be caged.” Xia Lian looked into the eyes of Xin Li ” You are the same.There is so much potential hidden in you.”

” Your dress is made from the most simple fabric, but it looks exquisite due to the embroidery. I believe that you refused to wear the skimpy outfits and I am sure that you embroidered the dress yourself.”

” How can you be so sure?” Xin Li countered.

” Oh dear, don't tell me that they give such beautiful clothes to the women working here.” Xia Lian was really amused after hearing her stupid question.

Xin Li blushed in embarrassment while Xia Lian continued ” Also, the calluses on your fingers tell me that you are a warrior.”

” The scar on your neck which you failed to cover with your makeup tell me that you fought against death and you have a strong will.”

” Your words tell me one thing but your body tells me the truth.”

Xin Li was not able to respond for quite some time. She opened her lips but she did not find her voice..

” So, do you want to be free or you want to reach for something more together with me?” Xia Lian's lips had a light smirk.
