Chapter 927: Chapter 927: We’ll Have to Give a Gift Another Day

She looked up with a startled expression, her eyes bright and pure like stars inked across the night sky, and said, “Li Shengxiao, I really think there’s no need for you to feel aggrieved for my sake or to want to stand up for me, to hold the fort.”

The man’s dark eyes narrowed.

Rong Yan beat him to it, “I’m not saying this because I’m complaining about what you did; I’m not stupid, of course, I’m happy that you defend me.”

“The reason I say you don’t have to be aggrieved for me is that when your uncle and the others asked me those questions, it was just out of concern for you, certainly not intentionally to make things difficult for me.”

With her status, if it wasn’t for Li Shengxiao, Lin Teng probably wouldn’t even spare her a glance.

There was really no need to particularly make things difficult for her.

“There’s another reason.” Her eyes and brows were picturesque, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who feels inferior?”

Li Shengxiao wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and his thin lips touched hers lightly, “You’re not inferior, but you overthink!”

Rong Yan, “…”

Alright, that was a slap in the face.

She touched her nose, saying awkwardly, “I wouldn’t say I overthink though. Before we settled on a relationship, I definitely had to think things through. I needed to be clear about what I would face being with you, whether I could handle it, and if I could withstand the pressure. What if I couldn’t handle it after agreeing to be with you and had to back out midway, could you accept that?”

What if I couldn’t handle it after agreeing to be with you and had to back out midway… Li Shengxiao suddenly wanted her to shut up.

“You definitely wouldn’t accept it, right? I couldn’t accept it either. So it was only natural for me to think it over at the beginning, to make sure I had thought things through. It’s not that I wanted to back out; it’s just that the pressure we’d face together is too great,” she said.

Her lips still tingled from the forceful kiss as she continued brightly, facing the silent man, “But then I thought it through and made a serious decision to be with you.”

She bit her lip intensely serious, “Li Shengxiao, from the moment I told you we could try dating, I was already prepared to face criticism. I won’t be shamed by a few words from others.”

Because truly, she wasn’t after this man for his status.

“Nor will I feel aggrieved by a mere couple of words.”

She wasn’t after this man’s status, but couldn’t help that he was so excellent, no wonder others read too much into it.

Rong Yan’s eyes shone brightly and confidently like the stars in the sky, “I won’t let others’ thoughts affect me, and the same goes for you, don’t let others’ words sway you. I didn’t want you to leave because he is your uncle, and they didn’t have any ill intentions towards me. They just asked a couple of questions, and you took me and said let’s go. By doing that, they would take issue with me even if they hadn’t before.”

“So my point is, I’ll make up for it someday with a gift to apologize to the elders. I’ll buy it myself, you don’t have to worry about it. Just help me deliver it!”
