Chapter 493 - 475: Show Off
Zhao De’an was afraid that Zhao Xuan still harbored feelings for Baili Chengye and couldn’t truly accept Lu Jinsheng, or that she might feel dissatisfied with Lu Jinsheng for proposing to her in this manner, so the more he spoke, the more earnestly he expressed himself.
The grandfather’s favoritism shifted outward so quickly.
Zhao Xuan felt a tiny bit jealous, but then she thought of the new clothes she got today and remembered the pajamas from yesterday, and she couldn’t help but feel moved by Lu Jinsheng’s thoughtfulness once again.
Sitting across from her grandfather at breakfast, after the trials of the past few days, she had come to understand his point of view quite well, so she didn’t find anything he said to be wrong and coquettishly said to him, "Grandpa, do I really seem like someone who doesn’t know a good thing when she sees it? Aunt Xia asked us seriously yesterday, I’ve thought it over again, and I think Lu Jinsheng is quite good."
Zhao Xuan recounted her first meeting with Xia Yuan the day before, then her eyes slightly reddened, "Grandpa, as they say, a setback is a lesson that leads to progress. Don’t worry about me, I have no feelings left for Baili Chengye at all. I even think that hating him is a waste of my emotions."
She had realized over these days that what she actually felt was more anger than sadness, and so she said with certainty, "In the past, I was just coerced by him and Qi Xinrou with all kinds of words and moral blackmail. That’s why I opened up to them wholeheartedly. Now that I think about it, after his betrayal, I felt no reluctance in my heart towards him, but rather I was indignant and upset that I didn’t get a good result despite all I gave."
"If you can think this way, Grandpa is truly relieved."
Zhao De’an observed Zhao Xuan’s face carefully, indeed, he didn’t see the extreme pain that comes from emotional hurt. Instead, her complete recovery had made her relax, and joy was brimming in her eyes.
