Chapter 1333: Would You Regret This?

He Xiyan responded with a soft “Oh.” She hadn’t expect him to give her such a detailed answer.

His close proximity made her heart race. She placed her face against his chest and listened to his even breathing.

“How about you?” Mo Yixuan asked as he looked down at the girl in his arms, the girl who was now his woman.

“I live…” she paused and bit her lips. She didn’t know how to explain where she lived because there was a large gap in their social statuses.

He was born and bred in Ye City while she was from a faraway village.

“You’re from Xiang Province, right?” he asked.

He Xiyan felt a little embarra.s.sed, but she looked up at him in surprise and asked, “Did you know that already?”

Mo Yixuan smiled and replied, “I had already asked a friend six months ago to look up where you live and your family background.”

He Xiyan was speechless.

She frowned and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

If he had asked someone to do a background check on her six months ago, did that mean that he had been interested in her since then?

She suddenly felt excited and happy at that thought.

It turned out that he hadn’t been ignoring her advances all along over the past year.

Mo Yixuan gently held her hand. Her fingers were long and slender and there were slight calluses on her fingers, so he guessed that she was probably a hardworking girl. Her life must have been rougher than most since her parents were no longer around.

He didn’t just look up her family history, he also knew about her part-time job at the art studio, so he guessed that she must have worked to save up enough to buy him that expensive watch.

He felt a warm current run through him and his face softened at that thought.

To him, she seemed to exude a warmth that was like a sun s.h.i.+ning in the middle of winter.

The nervous expression on her face was replaced by a sad look. She looked at Mo Yixuan and decided to tell him the truth. “My parents are both deceased. My dad pa.s.sed away when I was 13 while my mom pa.s.sed away three years ago.”

She wiped at the corners of her eyes sorrowfully.

She no longer had any family, so home was wherever she was at the moment.

Mo Yixuan’s heart suddenly dropped. He pursed his lips and didn’t know how to express how he felt at the moment. Although he had known her family background for some time, he still felt upset when he heard her talk about her family.

His arms tightened around her and rested his sharp chin gently on her shoulder as he said rea.s.suringly, “Don’t be upset, Yan Yan. I’m sure they’re proud of what a sensible woman their daughter has grown up to be.”

He Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled wryly. She truly hoped that her parents knew that she had entered a good university, repaid all her debts, and didn’t let them down.

“Yixuan…” He Xiyan said as she turned to look at the man she had loved for a long time. She took a deep breath and said a little helplessly, “Would you regret this?”

She couldn’t explain why but for some reason, she was overcome by a sense of inferiority compared to him. The gap between them was a fact that she couldn’t change. She was an orphan with no parents and this fact wouldn’t change.

He dropped a gentle kiss by her ear before he said, “Don’t think too much, Yan Yan.”

He had given this matter some thought over the past year before he came to this decision. There were many women who liked him but he chose this girl, so he guessed it was probably fate.

He decided to try dating this girl because he knew that she was a good girl who was deeply in love with him.
