Chapter 174: Doesn’t Hate Him

Fu Qingye smiled and softly said, “I guess you haven’t had breakfast. Eat some cake to have something in your tummy before helping yourself to spicy food. I don’t know what kind of breakfast you like so I only prepared these.”

This was his first encounter with a strange girl like her. Others would hope that Fu Qingye looked at them, but she steadfastly refused him when he was nice to her.

Shen Xi could not stand it when people were nice to her. In the end, she could not help but go straight to the point. “Mr. Fu, you don’t have to prepare these specially for me or be so nice to me.”

“Scared already?” Fu Qingye chuckled at her statement. The warmth and joy were seen in his eyes.

The girl was anxious but not because she was afraid that others were bad to her. On the contrary, she was afraid of niceness!

Feeling a headache, Shen Xi stared straight into his eyes. “I told you, I’m not a substitute for your sister. Sir, you don’t have to be nice to me. I’m softhearted and will take it seriously.”

“Then take it seriously.” Fu Qingye then changed the topic. “You can be my sister for a day if you really want to thank me.”

Shen Xi kept a straight face. “Mr. Fu, don’t joke with me. There are countless people who would fight to be your sister as long as you say the word.”

“But they are not you.” Fu Qingye sighed and gazed into her eyes, refusing to let her shy away. “Tell me. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you’ll steal what belongs to my sister?”

Returning a smile, Shen Xi did not deny that fact. “Mr. Fu, you’re a wise man. There’s no need to ask what you already know.”

“But I’m not from the Su family and you’re not Su Ruowan.” Having looked into her, Fu Qingye could guess what was bothering her. He asked her, “If your adoptive parents found their biological son and were nice to him, would you resent, hate, and hurt him?”

“No.” Shen Xi answered loud and clear.

How could she be jealous and hurt him? She would only want to be extra nice to him to make up to him for the sake of Old Shen and Madam Yun.

Shen Xi was thankful for and satisfied with all the love she was given all these years.

Moreover, Old Shen and Madam Yun would never pull away from her just because Brother was found.

“I won’t as well.” Fu Qingye solemnly looked at her with heartbreak written all over his eyes. “I will only double the love and affection that I have for her. I won’t cast her aside and distance her because of you.”

This girl really pulled at his heartstrings. Just what did she go through to become who she was today? She may appear calm and carefree, but she was in fact a little turtle.

Afraid to be hurt, she would shrink into her shell and refuse to accept anyone’s kindness.

He could tell that she did not hate him.

Fu Qingye could also sense that despite her urge to approach, she closed out the conflict she was experiencing within.

“Mr. Fu, are you a mind reader?” Shen Xi did not feel awkward having been seen through. In fact, she felt relieved.

Shen Xi had always known what her needs and wants were. Due to this lucidness, she did not have the courage to let her feelings loose.

She was actually an ostrich, refusing to open her heart to anyone except Madam Yun and Brother.

Because of the hurt from the Su family and because of the fear, Shen Xi chose to run away. There would never be hurt as long as she did not offer a piece of her heart.
