Chapter 10 The Offer
I knew my current appearance was not bad. I had Xu Yunru to thank for my looks.
I looked at Song Chengyuan in confusion. A tear fell from the corner of my eye at the right moment.
"Brother... Brother?"
Song Chengyuan watched me for a while. When I could no longer read his expression, he leaned down and wiped the tear from my cheek.
"I do not lack a sister, but I lack one..."
He paused as if thinking, then smiled wickedly.
"A lover sister."
To be honest, I felt some stir but not much.
After all these years, the humiliations I had suffered were no lighter than this. Endurance was what I did best.
My face turned pale. I shook my head in fear and backed away until I hit the wall with nowhere left to go.
Song Chengyuan took two slow steps forward. His steps seemed deliberate to me.
A shadow fell over me. He lifted my chin.
"You have a good face. Many men would fight to cherish and protect you."
He added thoughtfully, "But unfortunately, it will not be me."
My wet lashes trembled uneasily.
