Some may argue that WXL chooses YSQ because only him was available as she also said it herself in chapter 36 when reuniting with her mother.
This is something I dislike about her. She makes her own feeling for him look cheap and second and honestly it would make her mother and other think that she is settling as if she has no other options. Is she ashamed to say it loud that he is in her heart even if let say he was 15% in it?
If let say my daughter come and say something like this about the msn she is introducing to me, I would tell her that there are may fish in the sea and that she is still young and does not need to settle.
I do not like this kind of heroin at all. She needed too much push and guidance from others. Her want are not that clear. Lol.
Umm...It's true though. Xiao Yao didn't much speak of her own heart desire out loud and prefer to keep it to herself. But I'd find it is to keep calm to herself.
"She needed too much push and guidance from others." I personally do not think exactly like that. It's true she felt lost at times. But in the end, she actually follow her heart.
I think my saying about chapter 36 is not perfect as I skip something.
"She makes her own feeling for him look cheap and second and honestly it would make her mother and other think that she is settling as if she has no other options. Is she ashamed to say it loud that he is in her heart even if let say he was 15% in it?"
I personally do not think like that. What I missed to say is that there are many could think like that and also many XL fans are claiming it too. But you are right about XY making not much known about her own feelings. That's actually why I think ZX let her spend time with Jing, intially at least. In Asia culture though, or I'd say at some era and times, woman acting so much over a guy is not much well respected. She's supposed to be calm if even she was so much in love, especially not to act like that in front of people surrounding.
But if we read that part in chapter 36 carefully, I think we could all get that and consider how XY assure her mother, I think XY is implying that only Jing could fulfill her desire for life partner. And XY assured her mother about Jing is that guy who will NEVER abandon her, and her own level of trust, rather than just letting out her side feelings. But i understand one could feel awkward because XY was shy and awkward at meeting her mom and introducing her bf to her. And I think A Heng understand XY as she chuckled.
Chapter 36
Ah Heng knew Xiao Yao’s emotional knot over this issue so didn’t get angry with Xiao Yao calling her dad by his name but also didn’t answer her question. She asked “Who is the young man behind you?”
Xiao Yao turned around and her heart fluttered in nervous sweetness as if she was on a secret date with her boyfriend and her parents caught them.
The Grand Emperor answered “His name is Tu Shan Jing, the Qing Qiu Tu Shan clan’s current clan leader.”
Jing knelt to the ground to bow his head low “Greetings to the Princess.”
Ah Heng raised her hand “No need for such formality, you are the clan leader.”
The Grand Emperor explained “He wants your most precious thing, of course he’ll be like this.”
Ah Heng looked at Jing bowing on the ground behind Xiao Yao with no intention of getting up and understood everything. She felt conflicted and couldn’t speak for some time.
Jing and Xiao Yao nervously remained kneeling until Xiao Yao couldn’t help but call out “Mom?”
Ah Heng appeared to snap out of it and asked “Is he good to you?”
Xiao Yao said “Yes, very good.”
Ah Heng added “No one treats you even better? Why does it have to be him?”
Xiao Yao said “Because only him, no matter what happens, he will never leave me.”
Ah Heng appeared to chuckle before she called “Jing!”
“Please take care of Xiao Yao.”
Was that her stamp of approval for him? Jing immediately bowed three times and joyfully replied “I will definitely do that.”
All..in all..I really like Jing assuring word "I'm here."
