"And do you not want me around you anymore?"
Qian Meng stared right into his eyes. They didn't have the gleam that they usually did. She couldn't decipher what he was feeling at that moment.
"It's not that—"
He raised his hand to stop her. "Do you want me to go with you?" She opened her mouth to make an excuse but he caught her. "I don't need to know if you think you are inconveniencing me. I want to know if you want me to come with you. The question is simple enough."
She was silent.
"Don't think about anything else. Concentrate on what you want. Be selfish!" he ordered.
"I want you to come with me," she said meekly.
