Chapter 1408: He Only Wanted Her to be Happy II
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A smile hung on the corners of Jiu Ming’s mouth.
He recalled his first encounter with her a few years ago…
The girl was still as fat as a giant mountain, yet somehow she had managed to capture his heart so easily.
“You will never understand…” He paused and smiled warmly. “To me, I’m willing to give everything only to protect her and see her smile. If the price for me to get her is that she loses all her laughter, then that kind of life for her… It’s not what I want.”
He liked Feng Ruqing the way she was.
Her gestures and smiles…
Her joys and sorrows…
If the cost of getting her was so terrible that it would make her hold a grudge against him, what was the point of having her like that?
“Maybe you’ve never liked a girl, and you’ll never understand what I’m doing.”
She liked Nan Xian. So, he would let him go.
He did not want to make himself… A burden to her.
Now that he thought about it, Qing’er misunderstanding him and Nan Xian had a great benefit to him as well.
At least… She would not resent his presence.
They could always get along like this.
“What are you babbling about?” Hu Qing was furious, and his face was livid. “Who says I haven’t liked girls? My future wife, Yuan Yuan, is my next-door neighbor. Qian Qian, my youngest girl. Zhu Zhu… Oh yes, the most popular courtesan from Welcome Spring Courtyard, Xiao Xinxin. All of them are my favorite girls. How dare you say I don’t understand!”
Jiu Ming was speechless.
“If it weren’t for the Ninth Emperor, would these girls have run away from me? The courtesan I liked back then would only dance for the Ninth Emperor. Hehe… She’s a girl, but why was she visiting a brothel? She was even one step ahead of me in saving Xinxin! If it wasn’t for her, Xinxin would have fallen in love with me!”
Jiu Ming was stunned.
Why did he always have a feeling that Nan Xian’s life would not be that easy?
He could stop the men, but not the girls who were like wild bees and b.u.t.terflies…
Little Qing’er was… Too gentle with girls.
Why was she saving a courtesan? And why did she visit a brothel?
Somehow, Jiu Ming had some sympathy for Hu Qing.
‘No wonder he hates Qing’er so much.’
What a crushing blow it must have been for him to discover that the girl he loved had run away with another girl! A man who had always been proud of himself, but had allowed his pride to be trampled on… No wonder he kept pestering Little Qing’er like this…
“All of this is really Little Qing’er’s fault.” Jiu Ming slowly walked toward Hu Qing.
It was only after hearing Jiu Ming’s words that Hu Qing’s face was calm again.
‘See, there’s finally someone who is on my side.’
Those people back then had mistreated him. They did not even understand the sorrow in his heart.
“It’s her fault that…” Jiu Ming smiled evilly. “She’s so charming, and you can’t do anything about that. My Qing’er didn’t ask for it… But those people prefer to chase after her. Is that wrong?”
Hu Qing’s face darkened after hearing Jiu Ming’s words.
“You’re asking for death!”
a.s.shole!
‘How attractive can a woman be? Is it enough to attract other women?’
Obviously, the Ninth Emperor had deliberately flirted with the girls. They did not even know her gender. She was deliberately cheating!
People should hate a liar like her. No one should love her!
Hu Qing’s anger grew. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he rushed toward Jiu Ming.
Jiu Ming’s face turned serious, no longer having an evil smile that he had just now. He looked at Hu Qing, who was rushing to him, calmly. The wind around him started to rise, making his purple robe lift in the wind…
