The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1089 - 1085: A Thought Runs Deep

There’s still a flight to M Country tomorrow. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come out shopping with them. I could’ve done something more productive, but instead, I’m here tormenting myself.

"I’ll take you back." Si Limo couldn’t stand her lazy demeanor any longer, raising his gaze to glance at her. "Madam, Queen, I’ll take my fiancée and head back first."

"Go ahead." Madam smiled peacefully on the surface, but inwardly, she was already itching to gossip about Si Limo’s engagement. Why didn’t he say a word about it?

Limo’s engagement and wedding are certainly not trivial matters. When the time comes, they will surely be grand events. He deliberately referred to her as his fiancée earlier—probably aiming to dispel Carly and Mona’s lingering hopes.

Thinking about this, Madam felt conflicted once again. It’s been a long time since there’s been an event as lively as this; the engagement party will definitely bring together notable figures from all walks of life.

She had a vague understanding of Mona’s temperament—pampered and high-ranking since childhood. She’s not accustomed to rejection, nor does she experience setbacks often. freёweɓnovel_com

At that time—

Madam felt a headache building. This isn’t ancient times; there’s no need for marriage alliances to consolidate relations between two nations. What’s the point of all this?

During the visit, Queen Mona had implicitly hinted multiple times at wanting to pair Carly and Limo together.

If it could’ve been done, it would’ve happened already, wouldn’t it? If Limo liked her, he would’ve liked her long ago, wouldn’t he? Yet mother and daughter both have such stubborn dispositions, making people utterly speechless.

And since it wouldn’t be good to tear things apart openly, Madam could only pretend to not understand anything.

Qiao Xiaren and Si Limo paid little attention to the emotions of those around them. Carly, on the other hand, spent the entire time witnessing them flaunt their love, and who knows what she felt inside.

Both angry and somewhat sorrowful.

Si Limo extended his arms to pull her into his embrace, walking outside together. His gaze casually swept in one direction, landing precisely on Chen Mei, who was practically hiding behind Ma Bin.

Just one glance—cold and penetrating—and Chen Mei couldn’t help but shiver.

The moment this man appeared, she instinctively retreated into the corner at the highest speed possible. Still, he could tell that she had clashed with Qiao Xiaren before—terrifying!

The Imperial Guard’s eyes collectively shifted in his direction, seemingly wanting to catch a glimpse of this legendary hero.

"Young Master Si, should I drive?" Si Er opened the car door and deliberately asked this question.

The keys were tossed over, and Si Er effortlessly caught them.

"Seeing such a stunning beauty in despair—does it make you a bit heartbroken?" Qiao Xiaren tilted her head, glancing with mockery at the man above her. "After seeing her today, don’t you think she’s truly quite a beauty? You weren’t even slightly tempted before?"

"Are you in despair? Shall I treat it for you?" He answered earnestly, leaning in to kiss her forehead, his voice inexplicably laced with a deep, magnetic allure—making it clear he hadn’t caught the meaning behind her words.

"Get lost." Qiao Xiaren placed her palm against her face. "I’m so sleepy. Let me nap for a bit, call me when we arrive."

"Alright, I’ll call you when we’re there."

No one knew why she loved to sleep so much. She had barely closed her eyes when suddenly, they snapped open again. "Si Limo, why did you choose me back then? When did you start liking me?"

"Didn’t I already tell you? Forgotten?" He reached out, brushing a strand of hair at her temple, and answered deeply, "From the moment I saw you, I felt like you had always been meant to be mine. As if, long, long ago, you were already mine."

Some things are exactly like that—a singular obsession, rooted deeply into the heart, impossible to let go ever again.
