Chapter 86
"You guys really know each other well." Although Tan Xiao was emotional, his eyes were constantly observing the group of young men in front of him, with a special emphasis on Ye Tian. When he turned back to look at Tang Su, he stopped speaking.
Ignoring the underlying meaning of Tan Xiao’s words, even Tang Su realized that she had perhaps spoken too much about Ye Tian. That wasn’t the attitude of a woman who claims to not be interested in romance.
"Feelings shouldn’t be forced, but sometimes, one’s individual power is rather frail. It’s commendable to try to stop a chariot with one’s arm, but when it truly comes to being shattered to pieces, how many can maintain composure and a steady heart? Dying a hero isn’t as simple as it sounds."
"Tan Xin is my brother, and I’m not here to speak only well of him, but I do hope that you will consider him. Compared to you, he is still immature, not just in age, but in wisdom too. After all, he hasn’t yet faced the things this society presents, nor does he have the courage to defy his entire family by leaving home. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to target you, but compared to others, I admire your bravery more."
"Thank you," Tang Su said, nodding absentmindedly while looking at Ye Tian.
"It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you that my brother truly likes you. He has the potential to become a political star. He’s strategic and cunning, but his feelings for you are genuinely from the heart. Does that sound contradictory?"
Tang Su gently shook her head, remaining silent.
Seeing the difficult-to-conceal sadness on her face, Tan Xiao couldn’t help but be moved. Is her current situation best described by the word ’transaction’?
