Chapter 492 - 277
"Shen Jingxiu, oh Shen Jingxiu, do you actually believe what you’re saying? Do you really have no selfish motives at all?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned, "Yuanzhou, what are you trying to do? Why do you keep emphasizing this point? Do you think that if I admit it, I’ll stop opposing all of your actions?"
"No, I’m not trying to force you to admit anything. As a friend, I’m just reminding you not to go down the wrong path."
"I know what I’m doing."
"Then you should also be clear that your foster sister is a free thinker. You can’t stop her from loving anyone she wants to love, but that person absolutely cannot be you. You are indeed her family, but you can only be her brother."
Shen Jingxiu’s breathing paused for a moment, but he quickly spoke up, "I know that, clearer than you. I will always be her family, so stop your baseless speculations."
Shen Jingxiu’s demeanor and tone were so normal that Ji Yuanzhou even started to doubt his earlier judgment.
He frowned and scrutinized Shen Jingxiu, his voice filled with uncertainty, "Do you really have no selfish motives? Did I really misunderstand you?"
"What else?" Shen Jingxiu looked at Ji Yuanzhou with unyielding eyes, "You got too agitated just now, almost speaking without restraint."
Ji Yuanzhou chuckled lightly, his voice tinged with self-mockery, "It’s your fault for hitting where it hurts. Indeed, those who know you best know exactly where to stab to make it hurt the most."
