Chapter 361: Chapter 361 You Are Beautiful

Xiaoqiao had just sent her mother-in-law out when she felt a fresh softness pouncing on her.

"Mommy, Mommy, where did you go? Xiao Nian thought you had disappeared!"

The baby’s voice was hoarse, as if he would start crying if he didn’t see her again soon.

"Mommy just stepped out for a moment! Baby, you’re awake! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Mmm! Mommy soft! Today I want to sleep with Mommy too, and tomorrow, and the day after..."

The baby’s dependency had given Xiaoqiao the first sense of being needed in three years, filling her heart with fulfillment and sweetness.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Xiaoqiao turned around.

"It’s me."

Xiaoqiao hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Ren, good morning."

"Morning."

The baby looked up happily, "Daddy, good morning!"

"Mmm." Gu Hangshen went over to pick him up and then looked at Xiaoqiao, "Could I invite you to lunch as a thank you for taking care of Xiao Nian?"

Xiaoqiao showed a look of difficulty, "I’m afraid it won’t be possible today, maybe another day? I have an appointment at noon."

"What kind of appointment?"

Not expecting him to continue probing, Xiaoqiao was startled for a moment and then answered, "A private matter."

The meeting place was at a tea house nearby.

Its name was Cherry Wood Tea House because it was surrounded by cherry blossom trees.

The interior of the tea house, though not luxurious and quite small, was decorated with wood and bamboo, creating an exceptionally elegant atmosphere.

Pink cherry blossoms danced outside the window, and the scent of green tea wafted through the room; it was a rather romantic spot.

Even without seeing it firsthand, the aroma of tea mixed with the scent of cherry blossoms carried by the wind could be felt.

If it weren’t for the awkwardness and unease about today’s meeting, this moment would have been quite enjoyable.

Xiao Nian clung to her all morning, and she had to coax him for a long time before she could leave at noon.

Upon arriving here, she still couldn’t put her mind at ease, wondering how he was doing.

"I’m very satisfied with you, getting married first and dating later is fine, and so is dating for a while before getting married. As for me, I believe my mother-in-law must have told you everything that you need to know. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The man across her didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Ying Jing, can you tell me why you chose me?"

Ying Jing clasped his hands together, resting his chin on them, and gazed at her intently, "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"

Xiaoqiao blinked, taken aback. Was this a compliment?

"You might be thinking, ’With my resources, what kind of woman can’t I find? Why would I need a blind woman?’ But if you weren’t blind, given your attributes, you could have any man you wanted, and it likely wouldn’t be me sitting here. The reason I chose you is first, because you are beautiful, and second, because you are blind."

Xiaoqiao could understand the first reason; not just artists, but everyone harbors a desire for beauty. But could blindness also be a reason?

What the man said next completely shocked Xiaoqiao.

"The first point is that finding a woman more beautiful than me is indeed difficult. As for the second, women always judge by appearances. Those who stay with me do so either for my money or for my looks.

What I want is a love without impurities, a completely pure love. I believe that we can cultivate the ideal love I seek between us!"
