An Ning was momentarily stunned.
She looked at Xiao Jinxing.
His originally fair face was flushed because of the alcohol.
His eyes were blurred by drunkenness.
Yet, those eyes seemed to be filled with sadness, helplessness, or perhaps powerlessness.
Powerlessness to make her fall in love with him.
He, as the king of a nation, possessed the world yet could not win her heart.
No matter how hard he tried, it seemed all in vain.
It seemed he could never catch her attention.
An Ning was silent for a while, then said, "Why not satisfy her?"
Xiao Jinxing looked at An Ning like that, feeling his heart utterly shattered.
Every time he mustered the courage to try, each time he left disappointed. What was he still hoping for?
Naught but humiliating himself.
"I mean no harm." An Ning could see Xiao Jinxing's distress.
She knew Xiao Jinxing said those words only to express his sincerity towards her.
He thought perhaps it might move her.
