Chapter 833: Xiangyi’s Consideration
On the hospital bed, Xiangyi stared at her. He did not show any emotions outwardly, but his boiling heart was in turmoil!
Time pa.s.sed slowly, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s heart was so nervous that it felt as if it was twisting unto itself.
Only then did she realize that she was not nervous about confessing. What she was nervous about, was Xiangyi’s answer to her confession.
After a long time…
“It’s very late. Miss, please go back.”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was stunned. This answer was too unexpected.
Did he ignore her confession?
“Xiangyi, I’m confessing to you!”
Xiangyi looked away and did not look at her again.
“Will you marry me?” asked she again.
Marry her?
If it was possible, of course he would want to.
He remained silent. His facial expression from his side profile looked a little indifferent.
“Xiangyi.” His behaviour instantly made s.h.i.+ Nuannuan feel disappointed.
“Why aren’t you answering me?”
“Miss should know the answer very clearly. She doesn’t need my answer.”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was stunned. She knew the answer?
Was he still concerned about his ident.i.ty?
“I don’t care about your ident.i.ty. I just like you!”
“I do. It’s not just me. Madam and Mr. s.h.i.+ do too.”
“Don’t worry about that. I can convince them!” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was full of confidence. She would definitely be able to convince her mother, but it might not be easy for her to convince her grandfather.
Xiangyi’s heart sank. Convince?
If she knew about his family matters, would she still try to convince them? He was afraid that even she herself would withdraw her confession today.
“There’s no need.”
His cold rejection struck s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s heart.
Why? She clearly felt that Xiangyi liked her, but why did he reject her so coldly?
She did not understand.
“If that’s all you’re worried about, I promise that I’ll really convince my grandfather and—”
“I’m tired and want to rest. Miss, please go back.” As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
The burning sensation in his heart turned into pain.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was stunned and stood there in a daze.
Why… why did Xiangyi treat her so coldly?
“Don’t you like me?”
Was it due to his ident.i.ty, or because he truly did not like her at all.
Xiangyi’s eyes remained closed and did not answer her question.
However, Nuannuan felt that her heart was in pain.
She had always thought that Xiangyi liked her and never thought otherwise. His indifference now really hurt her.
“Not even a little bit?” This was impossible. When she mistakenly thought that she had taken the poison, he clearly cared about her.
But what was he running away from? She had already said that she would convince her grandfather, so what was he thinking about?
Xiangyi still did not speak.
His indifference made s.h.i.+ Nuannuan momentarily loss. Before she confessed, she had wholeheartedly thought that he would accept her.
But now, it seemed that it was no longer just a matter of ident.i.ty, but also because he did not like her.
“During the time you disappeared, I… I was really worried. I’ve… I’ve never felt my heart ache so much that it felt worse than death. During the time you disappeared, did you really not think about me?”
She did not believe that Xiangyi had not thought about her!
Her words made Xiangyi finally open his deep eyes.
In the isolated island, he truly thought that he was going to die there.
