Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: He Has No Desire to Possess Her
Ziyi was taken aback for a moment.
"Yeah." She nodded, "The three months haven’t passed yet."
"I heard some news. The internal strife within the Sorren Family has been quite frequent lately. Fortunately, Ludwig is quite skillful and hasn’t let others take advantage." Jin Baiyan spoke casually, as if they were just chatting.
Ziyi absentmindedly twisted her fingers: "Is that so..."
"Yes." Jin Baiyan glanced at her, "But some people have started to question his identity, saying he’s not the real Ludwig."
Ziyi tightened her lips, not speaking for a moment.
"Next, he will face even more rigorous trials." Jin Baiyan smiled.
Ziyi’s eyelashes trembled lightly, her lips were pressed so tightly they turned pale.
"Should I not have said these things?" Jin Baiyan asked softly.
"It’s okay." Ziyi shook her head and forced a smile, "Actually, I want to know, but I’m afraid to ask..."
If she wanted to know, her brother would surely tell her.
Jin Baiyan smiled tolerantly: "Ziyi, he’s very lucky, I’m quite jealous of him."
Ziyi suppressed her chaotic emotions and put on a smile: "Actually, I’ve always felt that you don’t particularly like me."
"Really?" Jin Baiyan laughed.
"At least not that kind of like." Ziyi whispered, "I can sense it."
Jin Baiyan cared for her a lot, was very considerate, but didn’t have possessiveness towards her.
Jin Baiyan focused on her for a while, not refuting.
In fact, he couldn’t refute.
From the first meeting, he was inexplicably drawn to her, unable to help but be good to her.
But she was right. He indeed didn’t have that strong possessiveness over her, so when she was with Pei Yuanchen, he felt a bit lost, but not deeply sad, let alone in pain.
He just wished for her happiness.
Thinking of this, even Jin Baiyan found himself somewhat surprised.
"Am I right?" Ziyi blinked at him.
Jin Baiyan chuckled silently.
He paused, nodding slightly: "You’re right, it seems there’s a reason you don’t like me."
If he had strong possessiveness for her, perhaps he could emit enough hormones.
But he didn’t, so it was hard for Ziyi to be attracted to him.
"Of course I like you, but... not that kind of like." Ziyi argued seriously.
Jin Baiyan smiled faintly: "Hmm, I understand."
Ziyi exhaled lightly, looking at him expectantly: "Then... in the future we can be pure friends, right?"
"Right." Jin Baiyan smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.
Ziyi laughed genuinely from the heart.
...
Jin Baiyan naturally stayed for lunch at the old house.
Soon, He Yirong and his wife discovered that the two had actually known each other for a while.
He Yirong was overjoyed.
"So, when did you two meet?"
Ziyi thought for a moment and vaguely said, "Jin Baiyan saved me once."
"It was just a small gesture." Jin Baiyan did not refute.
He Yirong and Liu Minjun exchanged a glance, both pleasantly surprised.
Since Pei Yuanchen disappeared for three months, they initially thought Ziyi would remain engulfed in sorrow. However, during this period, they noticed Ziyi’s mood was very calm and assumed she had let go of her past relationship. So He Yirong had the idea of matchmaking for her.
They didn’t expect the progress to be smoother than they imagined!
"Then we must thank Mr. Jin properly!" Liu Minjun beamed with joy.
