Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 406

What can she say?

She was not prepared at all, and she was caught at her weakness so soon.

She was so useless, what could she say?

Li Hua didn’t want to say a word, she even wanted to cry.

After all her hard work to disguise, in the end, she was recognized because of her handwriting.

If it were something else, she could deny it, but the handwriting, it was him who taught her to write stroke by stroke; anyone can deny it, but she can’t.

A person’s habits are not so easy to change, so she worked hard to disguise every day, but she considered everything else except this handwriting.

Too careless and negligent.

A hundred careful steps, only to miss this most fatal link.

Now there is no excuse to make amends.

Xiao Shiqing saw she didn’t deny it and laughed, somewhat uncontrollably hugging her, "Jirou, you are really Jirou. After the Li Family’s accident, I’ve been looking for you, but couldn’t find you."

Li Hua let him hold her dumbly, not because she didn’t want to resist, but because she couldn’t muster the energy to resist anymore.

It was as if everything she’d worked hard for no longer mattered, and there was no point in struggling.

Her heart felt ashen as it could be.

After Xiao Shiqing’s excitement subsided, he noticed the oddity in the person in his arms and released her. Seeing the expression on her face, his heart clenched, "Jirou, what’s wrong with you?"

Li Hua looked at Xiao Shiqing, no longer resisting or struggling, slowly speaking, "Xiao Shiqing, let go of me."

Xiao Shiqing realized his inappropriate actions, and finally let her go completely, but still stood very close to her.

Li Hua didn’t say anything more, just lowered her head, covering the emotion in her eyes; after a while, she looked up.

"What do you want to know, more accurately, what do you want to do?"

Why insist on recognizing her, what does he want?

Xiao Shiqing’s smile faded from his lips. It was at this moment he finally understood that, regarding their recognition, it seemed only he was happy, she wasn’t.

So when he last proposed marriage, her refusal was real.

She doesn’t want to be close to him, doesn’t want to be recognized by him, surely, something must have happened.

It must be the reason that made her become Li Hua.

"Tell me what happened that made you become Li Hua?"

Only by knowing the reason can he solve the problem.

Li Hua’s lips moved, things had reached this point, continuing to hide would be no good for everyone, but she originally planned to start with the Pei Mansion, and then changed her words at the last moment.

"Not long after the Li Family’s accident, I accidentally fell once, and when I woke up, I was in this body, but at that time, I hadn’t regained my memory."

The truth was, after dying in her last life, she was reborn at the moment she was beaten up in the Pei Mansion, but at that time she was yearning for death, so her soul didn’t want to stay attached to the body and left it again.

Yet she didn’t know why she would attach to Li Hua’s body, nor why she lost her memory.

The reason for attaching to Li Hua’s body is unknown, but the reason for the memory loss is possibly due to two rebirths damaging her soul.

Those don’t matter; what’s important is she remembered everything from the past life was real.

What really matters is that she doesn’t want to experience anything from her past life again.

She doesn’t want any entanglements with the Xiao Family, including Xiao Shiqing.

But now that he’s recognized her, she can’t continue to deny it.

Yet she doesn’t want to say it was due to being beaten in the Pei Mansion, which would involve the Pei Family, she doesn’t want that trouble.

The situation at the time, her stupidity made her fall into a trap, leading to being beaten, the Pei Family were merely trying to investigate clearly.

In the last life, she didn’t die, which led to a series of events afterwards.

Thus, the Pei Family is not the culprit behind her death.

The real culprit is standing before her.

But he doesn’t know, and she doesn’t plan to say because it’s pointless.

If he couldn’t see through things in the last life, he won’t understand them in this life either, so she doesn’t waste words.

She just chose less impactful things to say, trying not to implicate anyone.

Xiao Shiqing was silent for a moment after hearing, clearly not expecting the truth to be this way.

"Then after you regained your memory, why did you not want to recognize me?"

He thought something must have happened to make her unable to trust anyone, but if it was just like this, she could have completely told him.

Li Hua lowered her gaze, "Xiao Shiqing, I am no longer Li Jirou, I am Li Hua, the things I encountered, I feared being recognized, so I feared meeting past people, I originally planned never to speak of this, but now that you’ve discovered, I can’t continue to deny it. Now that you know, I ask you to keep my secret."

This explains why she refused to recognize him and resisted anything related to the past.

Xiao Shiqing understood after hearing her explanation why she behaved so unusually.

Indeed, if he hadn’t discovered the flaw himself, he wouldn’t have believed such a thing could happen in this world.

If others knew, they might think she’s some sort of curse, which would bring disaster upon her.

Because he could tolerate and forgive her, others might not.

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone, and I will protect you in the future," Xiao Shiqing said.

Li Hua listened with no ripple in her eyes, "You didn’t understand what I meant, I hope you will keep my secret, also hope... from now on act like you don’t know me. If I want to clearly separate myself from everything in the past, I must do it thoroughly, otherwise, sooner or later, I’ll be discovered."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shiqing’s heart tightened, "You don’t even want me anymore, don’t you trust me?"

Li Hua never met his gaze, her voice growing quieter, "No, I don’t trust myself, I cannot do this without a flaw, so I can only stay away from old acquaintances."

"I said I would protect you, around me you don’t have to live in fear," Xiao Shiqing emphasized.

After finally finding her, how could he leave so easily?

Li Hua’s fingers tightened, "Being with you means facing the Xiao Family, you know many Xiao Family people know me well, when they notice my unusual behavior, what will you do, have you thought about it?"

"I will send away all those who used to interact with you," Xiao Shiqing said.

Li Hua lowered her eyes, murmuring, "It’s easy to deal with unrelated people, but what about Mrs. Xiao?"

Xiao Shiqing was startled at first, not expecting her to be concerned about this, then said, "As long as I marry you, even if she discovers the truth, she will protect you like I do."

If everything earlier was bearable, when Xiao Shiqing uttered this, Li Hua felt her eyes start to heat up.

That one sentence was enough, no need for further words.

With that one sentence, she knew this man would never change, though she never expected him to change, in the end, she still felt chilled.

After feeling chilled, it was followed by disgust.

Disgust towards this blind-hearted man.

If he hadn’t promised her in the last life, she wouldn’t have been so unwavering.

In the end, she became the one with the cruel heart.
