Quick Wear: Waiting for an Opportunity

Chapter 1617 The Lamplighter (73)

The Tianyuan family head gave a pale, weak smile and spoke softly.

Dean Tianyuan: "You've changed!"

Dean Tianyuan: "She's become realistic, guarded, always so wary of someone. She's not as caring, gentle, considerate, or docile towards me anymore."

In short, he's stopped being a simp.

It makes me angry just thinking about it.

If a man is a simp, women should never lick his boots; it's disgusting.

I don't know who got into the habit of being a sycophant and started thinking and seeing people the same way they do. They like being a sycophant and want to copy their life and walk their path. What's the point of that?

It's a terrible situation.

It's so suffocating and makes it hard to breathe, like you're being falsely accused!

Such an incompetent and weak person is the easiest to deal with. Perhaps the person is not suitable for him, is not the one he wants most, and is beyond his control, which has disappointed him greatly.

The Rat Clan Head sensed something amiss in that casual, hopeful tone. Immediately, feeling uneasy, he spoke coldly.

Rat Demon: "What? I'm not the person you most wanted to see? Disappointed? I'm so sorry, I'm the one who disappointed you!"

Dean Tianyuan: "No, it's me who has wronged you!"

The head of the Tianyuan family immediately spoke apologetically.

Then, feeling guilty and remorseful about their past, he looked at her with gentle eyes and spoke softly.

Dean Tianyuan: "In the past, I neglected you, failed to notice your abilities and strength. Not only that, but I may have also coincidentally done things that hurt your spirit on many occasions."

Dean Tianyuan: "You are clearly such a fragile and sensitive person, with a very soft and vulnerable heart. So many times, you need care and help."

Dean Tianyuan: "But I've repeatedly provoked you, and I've really put you in a difficult position."

Dean Tianyuan: "It was my fault!"

Dean Tianyuan: "You are someone who can rival me. You are very strong and have great potential. Given the right opportunity and ability, you will be the strongest one."

Rat Demon: "Oh?"

The Rat Clan Head asked a cold question.

Then came the cold words, spoken softly.

Rat Demon: "So, you knew all along?"

Rat Demon: "What a pity!"

Rat Demon: "If we can't join forces, then let's meet at the summit."

Rat Demon: "And so, we've met again, but you seem unaccustomed and uncomfortable. I still doubt whether there's a real gap or distance between us."

A person who has been suppressed and crushed for a long time will still be so doubtful and insecure about their own abilities.

She was still doubting her own abilities—what an ironic, helpless, and tragic situation.

Living is inherently difficult; one must be cautious at all times, and be subject to suspicion, distrust, and suppression. What, then, is the true meaning of a happy and fulfilling life?

Dean Tianyuan: "I truly loved you!"

Suddenly, the head of the Tianyuan family uttered a seemingly inexplicable statement, a statement that was a bit unclear, or rather, expressed too abruptly.

The head of the Rat family couldn't accept what he was hearing.

In her hardened and cold heart, hearing the words of the Tianyuan family head, for a moment it felt as if it had been warmed by the sun.

Such a simple "I loved you" might have melted a little of her icy exterior.
