The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof
Chapter 472 - Chapter 472 Chapter 472_1

Chapter 472: Chapter 472_1 Chapter 472: Chapter 472_1 Unusually, it was the first time Qiao Xiaren had taken the initiative like this. Si Limo’s eyes deepened a fraction, his arm encircling her waist to keep her close, their bodies pressed tight together, whispering sweet nothings.

Within the boundless, pitch black secret passage, Qiao Anchu opened her eyes for the umpteenth time.

Fear, Despair.

Forever unable to distinguish whether it was day or night outside, she didn’t even know how many days she had been kept there.

The bone-chilling cold of the ground, what seemed like the sounds of tiny creatures echoing around her. Previously, Qiao Anchu had been terrified of rats, pampered by Ye Mohan and Shen Sichen, treated naturally like a princess.

But now, she could only be locked here with iron chains, rendered immobilised, rats crawling all over her. The nauseating sensation made her want to retch her own insides out.

She was still wearing that dress, though it was sadly torn below her waistline, ragged due to the rats’ gnawing.

Her throat was hoarse from yelling, desperately pleading for help like a madwoman when she was first thrown in here, but now she knew, it was useless!

The flames of agony and despair ignited from within her heart. Qiao Anchu’s face twisted and contorted in a split second, feeling that fate had been so cruel, so unfair to her.

After the frenzied episode had exhausted her, Qiao Anchu once more closed her weary eyes, commencing another dream for the umpteenth time. Only this time, the dream seemed a little strange, as if it had actually occurred.

She dreamt of a striking mansion, herself arrayed majestically, brought to the front of the building in a luxurious car. Qiao Anchu felt like her soul was floating, like an observer hovering in mid-air, observing a glamorous self disembarking from the luxury vehicle.

Watching herself stepping out in the dream, Qiao Anchu was inevitably resentful. If not for the accident, she would still be that illustrious Miss Qiao of the Qiao Family, with Qiao Xiaren still under her foot!

Harbouring such resentful thoughts, she saw herself in the dream entering into the mansion.

Naturally, Qiao Anchu followed after her, curious as to what would happen next.

To Qiao Anchu’s surprise, she actually saw Si Limo’s face! She certainly recognised this man, she had previously been taken by his charm in Shanshui Town, but she could never imagine that this man would appear in her dreams?

“What are you here for?”

The man gave her a cursory glance with seeming lack of enthusiasm. Qiao Anchu was instantly intrigued. Was he involved with Qiao Xiaren somehow?

This revelation excited Qiao Anchu. She has always coveted what belonged to Qiao Xiaren, anything that was hers, she had always sought to take without exception!

Even the man!

Qiao Anchu suddenly felt triumphant. Why shouldn’t she use her charm to captivate Si Limo, to make him stand up for her? She could even take this opportunity to deal with Qiao Xiaren.

“Limo, our grandmother has asked me to discuss our marriage arrangement.”

“I won’t marry you.” It seemed she didn’t anticipate his immediate refusal. Qiao Anchu saw her own smiling face freeze, disbelieving, “Why?”

“You’ve done favors for the Si Family, but my protection for these years has been more than enough. You have the Qiao Family and the four Great Families now, you don’t need any relations with the Si Family.”

From beginning to end, the man’s expression remained cold and indifferent, seemingly without any emotional fluctuation. “You can leave, love for me is just a joke.”

“I don’t want the Si Family, I want you!” Qiao Anchu saw her dream self’s emotions suddenly intensifying, even reaching out to embrace the man.
