Qiao Qiao's body stiffened. She thought she was hallucinating. She looked at Xu Anting in astonishment, only to realize that he was serious and did not seem to be joking at all.
He repeated, "Qiao Qiao, I've liked you since a long time ago."
This time, he did not call out to Qiao Qiao, but Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao felt all the blood in her body rush to her face. She did not need to look in the mirror to know that her face must be very hot right now!
After a while, Qiao Qiao suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, actually, I like Professor Xu a lot too. You're very popular in school."
Xu Anting shook his head and said seriously, "No, the 'like' I'm talking about is different from yours, Qiao Qiao. Perhaps the word 'love' is a better way to express what I mean. I love you. From the moment you became my graduate student, I realized that I had already fallen in love with you."
Qiao Qiao was shocked.
From the moment she became Professor Xu's graduate student?
Wasn't that three years ago?
At that time, she was still suffering from a one-sided love. She liked Xu Anting, but she did not dare to tell him. She was afraid that he would reject her and even cut off their teacher-student relationship.
But now, Xu Anting was telling her that he had already fallen in love with her at that time!
"How can that be?" Qiao Qiao's brain was a little short. She turned her face away and muttered, "Professor Xu actually loves me. How can that be? I always thought …"
Xu Anting suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm. He pulled her to his side. Qiao Qiao was caught off guard and fell into a warm embrace.
This embrace was not strong, but it was impossible to break free from.
"Professor Xu?"
Qiao Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Anting hugged Qiao Qiao tightly. His voice was still gentle and harmless as he said, "Qiao Qiao, I've always loved you and looked forward to you growing up. I originally planned to confess to you after you finished your doctorate, but I didn't expect He Shaochen to snatch you away first. You were truly in love with each other and I gave you my blessings, but I didn't expect that he didn't cherish you and caused you to be scarred again and again. This kidnapping case has made me completely determined. I won't tolerate it anymore. Instead of watching you continue to get hurt, I'd rather give you happiness."
"Professor Xu …"
Qiao Qiao called out to Xu Anting. Her voice was a little choked up as she said, "You should know that I can't be considered a complete woman anymore."
She would never be able to conceive again and would never have a child of her own.
"I know, but so what?" Xu Anting disagreed. His gaze met Qiao Qiao's in the air as he said, "There are many women who can't conceive. Don't they have the right to be happy? It's an honor to have children. If they don't, we don't have to force them. There are so many ways to live. Of course, there are ways to live without children. "
"Your family won't agree …"
Xu Anting was the only male in the Xu family. If she couldn't conceive, her parents would definitely be dissatisfied.
"You know that my parents are very open-minded. My mother has been nagging you for a long time, asking why you haven't been going out to play recently. Haha, don't worry. They're not pedantic people. You don't have to worry about children."
"But …"
Qiao Qiao didn't know what to say. She subconsciously pushed Xu Anting away. Her heart was in a mess.
Why did the topic suddenly change in such a strange direction?
Sure enough, it was because she was so shocked that her brain couldn't process it. Qiao Qiao really wanted to slap herself. Why did she suddenly ask such a question?
Xu Anting was pushed away by Qiao Qiao. Seeing her troubled expression, his eyes darkened.
But he quickly recovered and smiled. "You definitely won't be able to accept it if I tell you all this out of the blue. But I'm patient and confident. You can give me an answer when you've thought it through."
Xu Anting was always so considerate and understanding.
His gentleness would always inadvertently seep into people's hearts. It was completely different from He Shaochen's domineering and violent nature.
When did Xu Anting leave? Qiao Qiao didn't even know. Her heart was in a mess.
The person she had secretly loved for so many years actually told her that he had always loved her? Could it be any more dramatic?
Qiao Qiao even thought that if He Shaochen hadn't interfered, would she and Professor Xu have had a happy ending?
But there weren't so many "ifs" in life. What happened couldn't be reversed. If she missed it, it would be too late.
Qiao Qiao didn't sleep the whole night. Her heart was in a mess. She really hoped that someone could comfort her. And this person was naturally Freya.
But when she waited for Freya, she realized that there was a person from J Country behind her.
"Qiao Qiao, let me introduce you. This is Marshall Elander Freed. He's from the maternal side of your father, Luo Vino. At the same time, he's also the person who supports you to inherit the throne."
Marshall made a standard palace bow and greeted Qiao Qiao. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Lilith."
"Huh?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
Freya explained, "Your real name is Lilith Lampero Charlie. This name represents your identity and also the proof that you have the second right to inherit the throne."
She smiled and said, "But Qiao Qiao is a pretty good name. In private, I think it's better to call you Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Qiao nodded and looked at the elegant middle-aged man. She asked, "So, Mr. Marshall, why are you here this time?"
"It's like this, Your Highness Lilith. The J Country's external problems have been resolved and the battle for the throne is surging. The faction I represent has chosen to support you. If you trust me, we are willing to do everything we can to help you ascend the throne."
Was this a pie in the sky?
This was Qiao Qiao's first thought. Originally, she only had the right to inherit the throne and Freya's influence. But now, someone said that they were willing to do everything they could to support her.
She felt that there was a trap.
Qiao Qiao was not clear about the division of power in the J Country. So, she could only look at Freya.
"We can't fully trust this person's words. But, it's better to have supporters than to be alone." These were Freya's words.
Qiao Qiao also felt the same. After a short exchange with Mr. Marshall, Qiao Qiao found that this person was very tactful and tactful.
He gave people a sense of trust.
After Marshall left, Qiao Qiao asked, "Freya, what do you think of this person?"
"If he is sincere, he will be a great help." Freya suddenly smiled and said to Qiao Qiao, "It seems that our luck has changed. Indeed, after leaving He Shaochen, the future is bright."
At this time, Freya did not forget to criticize He Shaochen.
Qiao Qiao seemed to be used to this. She smiled helplessly and said, "Let's first determine whether this Mr. Marshall is trustworthy."
"That's true."
Marshall sat in the car and thought for a while. Then, he dialed a number.
Not long after, a calm and indifferent voice came from the other side. "Is it done?"
"Her Highness Freya and Her Highness Lilith are very cautious people. I think it will take some time to gain their trust."
"Freya is a pragmatist. She will definitely rely on your strength in the end."
"Haha, you must be joking. In the end, without your financial and material support, even if I wanted to support Her Highness Lilith, I would not be able to."
The other side was silent for a moment. Then, a weak voice came. "You must not let them know that you have dealings with me."
"Please rest assured. I will definitely keep this a secret and take it to my grave."
….
He Shaochen hung up the phone and put it aside.
His face was frighteningly pale and he had lost a lot of weight. Although the poison on the dagger did not kill him, it had greatly depleted his body.
Qin Dong stood beside him worriedly. "He Shao, He Shao Qiu revealed your cold illness to the board of directors. Now, everyone is gathered at the He Mansion, waiting for your explanation."
He Shaochen's expression did not change. He took out a document from the drawer and said, "Then let them wait."
Qin Dong: "…"
He Shaochen's eyes were fixed on the document in his hand. The words "Divorce Agreement" were very obvious.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
