Chapter 1599: Chapter 1599: Why Not Take Another Look
She wanted to run up and stop her, but Third Young Master Jun pulled her back, sighing.
"Let her go. She’s already eighteen, an adult. No matter what, she has the right to decide her own future. But the path she chooses, whether it brings happiness or pain, must be borne by her alone."
Nobody understands a daughter better than her father. This girl has always been close to him since she was little. He knows her willfulness and her pride very well.
Although he didn’t understand what had happened just now to cause such a drastic change in her thinking, the pain and struggle in her eyes, the fierce determination to break free, made his heart ache.
This child has never had such a pained expression; she’s always been so happy and lively growing up.
But now, her eyes held no trace of happiness, only loneliness and helplessness, making his heart ache even more.
She’s his most cherished daughter, so no matter what she does, whether right or wrong, or whoever she may hurt, he would rather not scold her, only support her unconditionally.
And after Jun Yiyi finished speaking, she tightly gripped the microphone, her eyes red. In her heart, she was not unaffected; she was afraid of hurting her parents’ feelings. They always wanted the best for her, but she was so willful, acting on her own, surely disappointing them.
She didn’t dare to look at their disappointed expressions.
"Whatever you do, we will support you," a gentle yet firm voice came from beside her, as Jun Yuan lightly patted her shoulder.
Jun Yiyi turned her head to look at her brother, then glanced at her parents in the audience, their eyes full of warmth and support, and her heart ached, almost making her cry.
They were too good to her, always forgiving her whims unconditionally with ease.
So she couldn’t disappoint them anymore. She had to rely on her own efforts to become a strong, independent person.
"Brother, what does Yiyi mean by this? Is she planning to drop out and marry you?" Ji Hua’s eyes were filled with delight. "Though I think it doesn’t matter to continue studying after marriage, it’s great if she’s willing to make sacrifices for you. After marriage, starting a business together, sharing burdens, and having a few babies for you would be nice too."
Ling Kong froze. The shock and confusion from her earlier announcement turned into a complex and intense emotion.
Is that what she meant? Was that Yiyi’s intention?
This girl had always been willful, charging headfirst, doing unexpected things without surprising anyone.
But why, listening to Hua’s words, did he find himself lacking confidence at this moment, feeling he couldn’t grasp Yiyi’s actions?
He’d always been able to see through her moods; her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were always so apparent.
But now, her calm demeanor, her resolute gaze, revealed emotions never before present in her, making him fearful.
Why, when announcing such important news, did she not look at him even once? She looked at her brother, her parents, but her gaze overlooked his presence.
Ling Kong stared at the beloved girl on stage, feeling a sudden sting in his heart: Yiyi, why won’t you look at me anymore? Please, just look once more; you’ll surely discover how deep my love for you is!
Finally, Jun Yiyi raised her head, took a deep breath, and revealed a determined smile.
"There’s one more thing I want to announce here."
The guests were surprised, not knowing what other astonishing declaration she would make after such shocking news.
Jun Yiyi’s gaze finally fell on Ji Lingkong, her expression unbelievably resolute and cold.
