Ling Momo’s words, though, were undeniably from the bottom of her heart. Li Qingshen was too outstanding. Even if she truly disliked him, his merits were plentiful, enough to overshadow all his flaws, making him seem so perfect!
So, the presence of such a man was enough to render women profoundly insecure, let alone to dream of loving him! Follow current novels on novel·fire·net
Ling Momo couldn’t help but think, what kind of extraordinarily perfect and stunning woman would be worthy of Li Qingshen?
Li Qingshen had regained his composure. He sat there, gazing intently at Ling Momo, and repeated her words, "No girl dares to approach me?"
Ling Momo nodded vigorously. Such a perfect man, if taken to the streets, would attract so much attention.
And how many women would throw themselves at him like moths to a flame, how many would devise schemes to seduce him!
Even if he was indeed a good man, faithful and not straying, but to have one’s man gazed at in such a manner, it would take a girl with an exceptionally strong heart to dare to love him. Li Qingshen looked at Ling Momo, a hint of sorrow in his eyes like a layer of thin gauze, "So what you mean is, I might end up never getting married?"
Caught off guard by Li Qingshen’s sudden question, Ling Momo paused before speaking with genuine honesty, "Teacher, if you can’t find a woman to marry, then no man in the world can. What I mean is, Teacher, you’re just too perfect. Many girls don’t dare to love you because they are intimidated!"
"Is that so? Thank you." Li Qingshen’s eyes suddenly brightened as he stared at Ling Momo and asked earnestly, word by word, "What about you then?"
"Me?" Ling Momo’s eyes widened in confusion, not understanding what Li Qingshen was getting at. Weren’t they discussing his issues? How did it come to be about her? What did it have to do with her?
Li Qingshen spoke again, repeating the question, "What about you? Do you dare to love..." his voice trembled slightly as he said this, struggling to maintain his composure, his gaze never leaving her, fearing he might miss any detail, "...love me?"
Was he asking if she dared to fall in love with him?
Without a second thought, Ling Momo shook her head instinctively, "How could I possibly fall in love with my teacher!"
Not a hint of hesitation.
Such a swift and definitive reply.
Any shred of hope that had resided in Li Qingshen’s heart was extinguished in an instant!
Li Qingshen slowly turned his head, his demeanor cooling, staring into the void, his focus gone, a bitter smile curling his lips as he said, "After we’re done eating, go practice the piano!"
Ling Momo did not notice the change in Li Qingshen’s emotions. Checking the time, she realized indeed it was time for her studies, so she obediently nodded, stood up, and went upstairs.
Li Qingshen watched her figure ascending, gave a self-deprecating laugh, his eyes growing more sorrowful.
She said... girls didn’t dare to approach him...
He knew her heart was set on Lu Niange, yet still, he held onto a sliver of hope and asked, whether his own perfection made her hold back.
But unexpectedly... it wasn’t that she held back, but that she had never been moved.
It was the answer he had anticipated, but still, there was a faint sense of loss.
