Ning Anran might have understood Baili Xia's concerns.
However, emotions are something not even one can control.
How much can others interfere?
"I like him, but I never thought about being with him."
She continued to hold Baili Xia's hand, her smile bitter.
"Xiaxia, do you understand? Who doesn't like a man like Mr. Xiaojiu? But, who can truly have him?"
"I do like him, I just can't help but idolize him because he's so outstanding."
"But there's a kind of liking, called 'happy to adore from afar'. I'll keep it in check, unless..."
Unless Mr. Xiaojiu could fall for her too.
But she left those words unsaid.
Some things are better left unsaid, as others wouldn't understand anyway.
"I'm not blaming you." Baili Xia laughed lightly, giving her hand a comforting pat.
"I understand how you feel, I know there are many girls who like Uncle. It's not strange that you like him."
She just didn't want her to bear her feelings for Uncle too heavily.
