Chapter 56 - Confession

She put Du Ming’s business card into her small satchel, smiled sweetly at him, and waved goodbye. She turned around, and could still feel Du Ming looking at her, as if there were a knife in her back.

Sure enough, Shi Yong had hidden her away with ulterior motives. Now once she went out, someone would come to her door automatically. No matter how hard he tried, at least it was someone related to her parents.

She recalled the words of the elder, to not admit that she still remembered her parents in front of others. That way, she would be safe. As for whether they were a friend or foe, she would slowly distinguish them eventually.

She hurried to the hall, worried that Ning Chen would be anxious because she had been gone for too long. Suddenly, she saw a servant standing at the corner carefully holding a steaming pot.

Qin Yu felt it was a little strange and couldn’t help but take a second look. The servant’s eyes were fixed on the other side of the hall and didn’t notice Qin Yu. Qin Yu followed his gaze and couldn’t help but understand.

Cousin Bai Ting stood shyly in front of Ning Chen and greeted gently, “Cousin Chen, long time no see. I’m Bai Ting.”

Ning Chen turned his head slightly and said faintly, “Hello.”

“Cousin Chen, how have you been?” Bai Ting looked at Ning Chen eagerly.

Unfortunately, Ning Chen could not see her affections at all. It was precisely because Ning Chen could not see that Bai Ting dared to look at him boldly, at the man she had been thinking about day and night.

“Pretty good.” Ning Chen’s answer was still very calm.

Bai Ting bit her lip and finally made up her mind. “Cousin Chen, did you know? ” I’ve always liked you deep down, but I know that I don’t have a family background that matches the Ning family. I’m not worthy of you, so I can only silently like you in my heart. “Later, when I found out that something happened to your eyes, my heart ached terribly. Cousin Chen, no matter what happens, my heart will never change. You’re the only one in my heart!”

She took another step forward and got closer to Ning Chen. Ning Chen seemed to feel it and could not help but take a step back. He frowned slightly and did not know how to answer for a moment.

Bai Ting stretched out her hand to pull Ning Chen. “Cousin Chen, what I said is true. You’re the only one in my heart. In the past, I was not worthy of you. Now, I am willing to be by your side to take care of you for the rest of my life, Cousin Chen!”

Bai Ting’s eyes were red. It was a pity that Ning Chen could not see her deep feelings.

Ning Chen avoided Bai Ting’s hand. “Cousin, please have some self-respect! I am a married man!”

Bai Ting stopped moving, she choked and said, “Cousin Chen, we have already seen that woman. Even if you can’t see, you can’t lower yourself by marrying someone like her! Cousin Chen, I know that you’re a kind person. Send that fool back. It’s the Shi family’s fault. Cousin Chen, I’m willing to serve you and stay by your side for the rest of my life!”

Bai Ting shed tears. She was moved by her own words. “Cousin Chen, I am willing to stay by your side for the rest of my life.”

Ning Chen listened to her confession quietly and said calmly, “Do you feel sorry for me?”

Bai Ting looked at Ning Chen with her beautiful big eyes. “Cousin Chen, my heart aches for you!”

She reached out her hand again, wanting to pull Ning Chen’s sleeve.

However, her hand was grabbed by another. A clear voice sounded, “Are you trying to seduce Brother?”

Almost everyone in the hall looked over. Qin Yu’s small face was tense. She grabbed Bai Ting’s hand and asked again, “Are you trying to seduce Brother?”

Bai Ting’s face turned red. She struggled to shake off Qin Yu’s hand. “Don’t malign me!”

Qin Yu tilted her head and looked at Bai Ting, puzzled. “Then why are you holding Brother’s hand and crying? You said that you weren’t good enough for him in the past, so why are you good enough for him now? Is it because he’s blind?”

Bai Ting was speechless. Being questioned like this in front of so many people was not something she could handle. However, since she had already started it, she couldn’t back down halfway. She couldn’t just be crucified here by this fool, right?

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out two streams of tears. “I just feel that Cousin Chen is so young, but he has already met with such an unfortunate situation. What? Can’t I sympathize with him? If he needs me, I am willing to accompany him for the rest of my life! Why? Is that impossible?”

She looked at Qin Yu and stood proudly. She wasn’t worse than a foo, was she?

Qin Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression. “I just don’t understand why you think you’re worthy of Brother, because he’s blind?”
