Lu Xiaoyou's slender nails gently grazed the man's chin, and she asked softly:
"Long Xiliang, am I not worthy?"
The man's dark eyes gazed at her, yet he said nothing.
He didn't know why Lu Xiaoyou suddenly mentioned "am I not worthy." Was she referring to the change in his demeanor at the dinner table earlier and what he was about to say, or was she talking about the role of his future wife?
However, after asking the question, Lu Xiaoyou didn't seek an answer from Long Xiliang. She answered herself:
"I've never wanted to be anyone's backdrop. I will make everyone genuinely admire and accept me!"
The man held her hand in his palm and shifted the topic:
"In two days, I have to return to Rhode Island."
Lu Xiaoyou was surprised, "Leaving so early? Preparing for your birthday party?"
The man responded deeply, "I have some matters to deal with back there."
He wanted to say something, but ultimately decided to wait until he accomplished it before telling Lu Xiaoyou.
