Chapter 267: A Gift of Love (1)
“Tianxin, you are a good girl, and you will be happy, or even happier, in the future. However, the person who can give you that happiness will definitely not be my son. I will repay you for saving my son’s life, but it has nothing to do with him marrying you. Do you understand what I mean?”
Ye Tianxin blushed.
She was wrong.
She should not have come with Li Qingcang to the Li family home without any prior preparations.
She seemed to have made the wrong move.
“Tianxin, I know that you are a good girl, and I want to acknowledge you as my goddaughter. If you encounter any troubles in the future, I will help you out,” Wu Tong offered. “Why don’t you think about this? It is getting late. Rest early.”
Wu Tong did not give Ye Tianxin a chance to say anything else.
She opened the door and slipped out quietly.
While Wu Tong was walking in the hallway, she saw Li Qingcang preparing to head upstairs. She called out to him hurriedly. “Son, it is already late. Tianxin is about to go to bed. Go to bed as well.”
Ye Tianxin looked around the room under the light. Li Qingcang’s room was filled with certificates and awards.
There were also some photos of him when he was younger. His young and lively self was perfectly captured by the camera.
Ye Tianxin reached out and took a photo frame. It showed Li Qingcang running on the field. Her lips formed into a small smile.
At that moment, her eyes were filled with tears.
She liked him.
She liked him so much that her heart would beat fast when she thought of him, even just his name.
She liked him.
She liked him so much that she wanted to forget the past and then fast forward to the future, where she can spend the rest of her life with him.
She liked him.
She liked him so much that she felt as if she was in heaven whenever she was with him. His eyes were as brilliant as the stars.
His gentleness was like the spring breeze.
His embrace was like the ocean.
But if she wanted to be with him, liking him was not enough.
He was an outstanding child, more so as an adult. She could only catch up with him if she stepped up her game.
He was so outstanding that she had to put in 120% to become the girl who could proudly stand by his side.
Ye Tianxin sniffled and looked at the moon outside the window. How could she just let this small problem set her back?
Elder Brother Li’s mother did not like her, but why would that matter?
As long as she was good enough, his mother would definitely change her mind.
She firmly believed that one day, they would definitely get along because they both loved the same person.
When she thought of Li Qingcang, Ye Tianxin felt as if she was a warrior dressed in armor.
She did not fear anything, neither the violent winds nor the raging storms.
After taking a shower, Ye Tianxin lay on Li Qingcang’s bed. She thought that she would have trouble sleeping, thinking of Wu Tong’s words.
Yet, she had actually slept well.
She did not have a single dream that night.
When she woke up, the sun was shining brightly.
She hurriedly washed her face and brushed her teeth. After getting dressed, she headed downstairs.
Only Li Qingcang was downstairs in the living room.
“Good morning, Elder Brother Li.”
Li Qingcang put down the newspaper and looked at Ye Tianxin. “Did you sleep well last night?”
“I slept very well.” Ye Tianxin walked up to Li Qingcang. “Elder Brother Li, I shall head off. I made plans with Elder Brother Jing to go and pick up my grandmother today.”
“I have already gotten Jing Zhichen to go and pick up Grandmother,” Li Qingcang informed her. “You have been exhausted from filming the movie. Why don’t you rest some more and I shall take you somewhere later?”
Ye Tianxin tilted her tiny face upwards and asked, “Where are we going?”
