She settled down on the bed bowing her head in sadness! She didn't have any right to stop him from pursuing whatever he wanted; it was just that it was so hard to swallow that bitter truth. She had let him down so badly.
Third Master Mu squatted to her level before holding her face with both palms and lifted it to gaze into his eyes.
"I haven't scolded you and you are already crying! When did you become such a crybaby!" He gently wiped those tears away defeated. He could only sigh seeing her !
"Uncle..." She coldly snorted trying to avoid his gaze. He could see guilt in her eyes, and he didn't know if she was truly repentant.
"Yuxi, you will always be my little baby, that girl I brought back from the orphanage, if you are going through anything, please come to me and I will try to assist you, don't settle for anything, anyone who doesn't love you and appreciate your presence will never do it no matter what kind of compromises or effort you make. No matter how much you are kind to them, they will never appreciate it!" If they hadn't started treating her right years ago when he had brought her back, they would never have done it any time soon.
He didn't want to see her wasting time on these people who wouldn't reciprocate anything. It wasn't worth it to waste time on such unfeeling people. It was best if she loved herself more.
He knew she yearned to have a family and parents who would love her, but then again, they weren't up to the game!
"All right Uncle..." She understood him perfectly well; she had already paid it with their lives, but not in this life; they would all pay heavily for that debt!
But what did he mean by his baby? I'm a woman! He loved me in our previous life; how did an eighteen-year-old girl become a baby?
She was angry and amused at the same time. She didn't know if, at this time, her Uncle had realized his feelings for her, but no matter what, she was determined to be in his life and the only woman to accompany him for eternity.
"Why are you pouting?" He gently pinched her nose before getting up and straightening his back. He didn't have much to say, he just wanted to assure her that he was available exclusively for her.
"I'm hungry Uncle..." She softly spoke up gazing at him with those gentle and kind eyes. It felt different when she looked at him with those eyes, he adored her to infinity.
"All right, let me see if we can order something." He gently ruffled her hair before walking out of the bedroom and closing the door. At that hour, so late in the night, he didn't want to make anything but if they couldn't order anything, he would have to whip something for her.
Zhou Yuxi was happy that he wasn't talking about moving abroad; could this have been postponed for some days? She hoped she would change his mind and stop him from moving abroad.
The moment he had left, she got up and rushed over to his bag, went through it, and came across a laptop; yes, this was what she wanted so urgently.
Luckily, she knew his password from their previous life, it was that day he brought her out of the orphanage. She hurriedly logged in, but it was taking time, probably because of too many files.
Feeling nervous, she tiptoed out of the bedroom onto the hallway and then hid at the corner along the stairs where she could see him coming up.
