Chapter 902 - 422
"Xiao Xuyang, you don’t need to do this," Lu Xinyi said, lowering her head. It took her a while before she finally looked up at Xiao Xuyang. "Both of us can be considered victims." Although Lu Xinyi was very upset, and had locked herself in her room for a whole day after returning from the hotel, she knew clearly that it wasn’t Xiao Xuyang’s fault.
So, from the beginning, she never blamed Xiao Xuyang for what happened. Perhaps if it were a different woman, knowing that she had been with the Second Young Master Xiao, she would have been overjoyed, crying tears of happiness, and then throwing herself into his arms. And if this Second Young Master Xiao was willing to take responsibility, that would have been even better.
It was the first time Xiao Xuyang found out that someone didn’t care about his identity as the Second Young Master Xiao at all. At this moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or to cry.
And Lu Xinyi took Xiao Xuyang’s words to pursue her as nothing but his sense of responsibility towards her after what had happened. She would not conceitedly think that Xiao Xuyang actually liked her and that’s why he wanted to pursue her.
With Xiao Xuyang’s status, there were all sorts of beauties around him, so how could he take a fancy to a plain Jane like her?
"When I say I want to pursue you, it’s not solely because of this matter. I do want to take responsibility, but if I didn’t have any feelings for you, I wouldn’t force myself to pursue you, saying that I want to be responsible. As you said before, we are both victims," Xiao Xuyang said more calmly, able to read Lu Xinyi’s thoughts from her expression.
Thus, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and found a new direction. "So, let’s set aside everything that happened before, as if we are just getting to know each other today. I am simply one of your suitors."
Although it was only after their encounter that Xiao Xuyang started to notice Lu Xinyi, how he began to like her didn’t matter to him at all.
