Chapter 621: Wrong Idea (3)_1
"Jin, don’t get worked up. It’s not as serious as you think. Let’s all just talk things through," Yu Qihao, who initially decided not to get involved, couldn’t help but step forward and speak up after hearing Situ Jin’s words.
Xiao Muli’s eyes were unblinkingly fixed on Xiao Muli, trying to discern the truthfulness of his own statement through his gaze.
However, Situ Jin was no incompetent person. How could he let Xiao Muli see through the plans in his heart? So, after looking for a long time without being able to figure anything out, Xiao Muli, with a very calm tone, said to Situ Jin, "Jin, we’ve been brothers for so many years; you know what kind of person I am. All these years I’ve kept myself clean. Besides Baby, I’ve never had another girl around,"
"What do you mean you’ve never had another girl? Does your fiancée not count?" Xiao Muli hadn’t finished speaking when Situ Jin interrupted loudly.
Xiao Muli was taken aback by what Yu Qihao said, but then he regained his composure and continued, "That so-called fiancée of mine, I’ve never acknowledged her, and neither has my grandpa. The only one my grandpa and I recognize is Baby, Situ Xin. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my grandpa. As for my parents, they haven’t shown up from the time I got injured and hospitalized until now. This shows that ever since my mother’s family business went under, they’ve stopped caring about me as their son. And similarly, they mean..." He trailed off. Although he had long told himself to be more open-minded and not dwell too much on this matter,
that was what he thought, and he acted accordingly. But when it actually came to discussing it, he couldn’t help the surge of sadness in his heart.
Seeing a rare display of vulnerability on Xiao Muli’s face, Situ Xin felt an ache in her heart. Even Situ Jin, who had uttered such heartless words to force Xiao Muli to give up on his sister Situ Xin, felt his resolve weakening. He wasn’t as insistent as before.
"So, this fiancée truly has nothing much to do with me. You can’t use this reason to deny my affection for Baby," Xiao Muli paused, then looked earnestly into Situ Jin’s eyes and continued, "Jin. I really value our brotherhood over the years. But I won’t give up my feelings for Baby because of our friendship. Jin, don’t be rash. Calm down and think about it. Actually, it’s the best choice for Baby to be with me."
"Hmph, that’s just an excuse you’ve come up with yourself," Situ Jin said dismissively, but his expression had softened. "How did you become the best choice for Baby? I can’t see it at all."
Although Situ Jin’s words showed denial, his thoughts had come full circle, and he had to admit that Xiao Muli being with Situ Xin was indeed a very good option for her.
