Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197: Glad for Your Trust
It’s a pity, he once expressed his feelings to her, which gave her a psychological burden, didn’t it?
Gu Lingqian let out a long sigh, then pressed the phone to his ear once more.
He never regrets anything he does, especially in this aspect. Now, he just hopes that the little girl can still unconditionally trust him like before.
"Oh." Xia Yinian bit her lip and nodded lightly, "Sister Qiangwei asked me for a million, but didn’t say what it was about. She also didn’t dare to ask Dad."
"I can’t come back in the near future, and I don’t have that much money to give her. Plus, I think if there’s a first time, there’s surely a second time, so I wanted you to help."
Xia Yinian was most afraid of Gu Lingqian getting angry, so she obediently told him everything.
"Hmm, why didn’t you clarify earlier?" Gu Lingqian’s voice came through again.
His tone was no longer as hoarse, seeming much more normal now.
"Just now... I was worried you would be upset." Xia Yinian replied softly.
"Why did you think I would be upset?" Gu Lingqian continued to ask.
"Because..." Xia Yinian bit her lip.
"Be honest!" Gu Lingqian said in a deep voice.
Xia Yinian took a deep breath and muttered, "Because I rarely contact you, and if I do, it must mean I’m in trouble."
Not to mention Brother Ling Qian, even saying this out loud made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"Does Nian Nian think what she’s doing is right?" Gu Lingqian asked softly.
His reaction left Xia Yinian a bit stunned.
She pursed her lips and finally shook her head.
"Not right."
"Why not right?"
Today, Gu Lingqian seemed to have a lot of questions, and these questions weren’t easy to answer.
Xia Yinian scratched her head before softly saying, "Because... among friends, we shouldn’t always bring trouble to others."
"Then how should friends be?" Gu Lingqian’s voice came through again.
Uh... Xia Yinian was a bit puzzled. What was wrong with Brother Ling Qian today? And more importantly, what kind of answer did he want?
If it was just friendship, without involving love, she was willing to do anything for him.
Xia Yinian knew she was selfish, but she and he were impossible, and she wouldn’t give him false hope at this time.
Cutting it off would be the best result for him.
However, now it seemed like she had to answer his question.
"Between friends... they should help each other and also..."
What mutual help? Clearly, it’s always Brother Ling Qian helping her. The more Xia Yinian spoke, the more guilty she felt.
"And also what?" The man’s voice came through again.
"And, and also... care for each other, face difficulties together, share joys together." Xia Yinian finally managed to complete her sentence.
"How do you think you’ve done, Nian Nian?" Gu Lingqian asked.
"N-not really good?" Xia Yinian responded softly.
"Then how should you change?" The man’s voice again.
"I should... care more about friends, hmm." Xia Yinian nodded.
"You’re missing one more thing," Gu Lingqian seemed a bit more serious.
"True friends should trust each other without hesitation, just like you should trust that, no matter what difficulties you have, I will never refuse to help."
"So, even if you only come to me when you’re in trouble, I’ll never mind, and I might even be happy because of your trust."
"So, do you understand now?" Gu Lingqian said in a deep voice.
