Sweet Beauty

Xia Jingfei held back her tears. Her grip on her dress turned white, as if she was going to tear them apart. Her whole body was shrouded in deep sorrow.

After walking a few steps, Xia Jingfei suddenly raised her head and stubbornly glanced at Liang Jiahao. With red eyes and a smile, she said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not going to force you."

Liang Jiahao didn't say anything. He didn't even turn around to look at her as he walked away.

He said that his temperament had mellowed to a very cold state. However, his long legs deliberately slowed down so that Xia Jingfei could keep up with him.

He said that he didn't know how to make girls happy and was an independent person. However, from his behavior towards Liang Zixuan yesterday, Xia Jingfei could tell that he was also someone who knew how to be gentle.

The corner of her mouth twisted into a smile. "I was very annoyed at my mother's insistence on marriage. You know, elders love to torment us, youngsters, with things like that. When I came back yesterday, I felt that you were a very nice person, different from all the men I've met so far. That's why I told my mother that I can try to get along with you."

As she spoke, her tears fell uncontrollably. Xia Jingfei raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the tears off her face. She continued, "I don't really like you. I just feel that if you too are annoyed by the urge to marry, then why don't we cooperate a bit? It's just that if we meet occasionally and let our elders think that we are slowly developing, then in the future, I won't be forced by my mother to go on a blind date anymore. That should be able to save you a lot of trouble too."

Liang Jiahao suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. Xia Jingfei was caught off guard and didn't even have time to wipe the tears from her face.

Flustered, she wiped away her tears and forced a smile at him. "I'm not crying because I have feelings for you. It's just that this is the first time I've been rejected like this. I felt terrible inside and that's why I cried. It has nothing to do with you."

Xia Jingfei was still a girl after all. She cried so much in front of Liang Jiahao and yet still stubbornly tried to find an excuse. Liang Jiahao couldn't take it anymore, so he took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

Xia Jingfei took it and thanked him before turning around to wipe her tears.

She looked up at Liang Jiahao. "Just think of it as helping me. As long as you don't tell our elders that you don't like me, you don't have to do anything. Everything will be fine with me. I guarantee that you won't be forced to get married in the future. And don't worry, I won't bother you. If you don't want to see me, I won't appear before you. Just tell our elders that we met in private."

No matter how iron-blooded Liang Jiahao was, when faced with the begging of a crying girl, his heart softened.

Besides, Xia Jingfei was right. As long as they said their relationship had developed slowly, the elders would no longer force him to go on a blind date, and he would no longer have to deal with those strange and boring women.

Liang Jiahao pursed his lips as a trace of warmth suddenly appeared in his eyes. He looked at Xia Jingfei as if she was his little sister and nodded slightly. "Alright."

Xia Jingfei immediately laughed and looked very happy.

She pointed to the tree-lined path in front of them. "Let's go this way and then turn back."

Liang Jiahao didn't refuse.

However, just as he took a step forward, Xia Jingfei's tears fell once again. She gripped on Liang Jiahao's handkerchief tightly.

When they came back, everyone was still eating. Xia Jingfei walked over to Dong Biming and took her hand. "Mom, have you finished eating? Let's go home."

Dong Biming looked at Xia Jingfei in surprise. She had a bad feeling about this.

Even Old Madam Han and Luo Yanyun looked at her in surprise.

Xia Jingfei pursed her lips and said with a smile. "He said he'd something else to do tonight and was quite busy. He'll invite me to dinner another day."

When she said this, she purposely put on a shy expression. The elders understood immediately, and Old Madam Han nodded cheerfully. "Okay, okay. Since you young people are busy with your work, you don't have to accompany us here. If you still have something to do, then go back first."

Dong Biming still didn't want to leave. She enjoyed chatting with Old Madam Han and Luo Yanyun. She pushed Xia Jingfei's hand away and said unhappily, "I'm not full yet!"

"Mom!" Xia Jingfei helplessly called out. "I want to go back now. Dad just called to say he has something to discuss when you get home."

"Your father?" Dong Biming quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up. "Oh, right. He said he was going to tell me about the sale of the villa in the suburbs tonight. I forgot about that."

Embarrassed, she turned around and exchanged a few words with Old Madam Han and Luo Yanyun before hurriedly pulling Xia Jingfei away.

On the way back, Xia Jingfei said nothing. She sat in the car like a pretty doll and didn't move.

Dong Biming looked at her guiltily and asked carefully. "Fei'er, when you two went out... What did Liang Jiahao say to you?"

Xia Jingfei took a deep breath and looked out of the window. She wanted to reprimand Dong Biming, but she couldn't bear to say too much, so she said without haste. "Mom, you shouldn't have come tonight. Originally, he and I were just meeting for dinner, but your presence has turned it into a parents' meeting. You are making things very difficult for him."

Xia Jingfei understood that Liang Jiahao probably wouldn't have rejected her so quickly if it weren't for Dong Biming. In front of Dong Biming, Liang Jiahao didn't know how to treat her properly.

He was afraid that Dong Biming would misunderstand his good intentions, but at the same time, he was also afraid of making Dong Biming unhappy.

Thus, Liang Jiahao spent the entire night in a very unpleasant state.

In the end, he simply called her out and spoke his mind.

Dong Biming immediately disagreed. "How can that be? I'm just going to take a look."

Seeing that Xia Jingfei was so depressed that she frowned, Dong Biming finally didn't know what to do. She weakly asked, "It can't be that Liang Jiahao has a problem with you because I was there, right?"

Xia Jingfei wanted to say yes, that was it.

But Dong Biming was her mother. How could she say such a thing and make her mother sad?

Xia Jingfei gloomily shook her head and forced herself to smile. "No, he asked me to go out with him another day and see where our relationship can lead."

With that, Xia Jingfei took out the handkerchief Liang Jiahao had given her. "He gave me this.. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll wash it and give it back to him."
